Did you know we don't use tape measures at Bravissimo? Instead we fit by eye as knowing how a bra should look and feel is the best way to find your most comfortable fit - here's how…
How do you know if your bra fits right?
1
How should your band fit?
Most of the support comes from the underband. It should be horizontal around your body without riding up or digging in. We recommend fastening a new bra on its loosest hooks so that you can tighten it if it stretches over time.
2
Where should the underwire of a bra sit?
The underwires in your bra should sit flat on your ribcage (not your boob!) all the way round to your armpits. The wires between your boobs should lie flat against your chest without digging in, rubbing or poking out.
3
How should a bra cup fit?
Make sure your boobs are fully in the cups – a bit of a scoop, wiggle and jiggle usually does the trick! You should fill the cups without any bulging or wrinkling even in a lower-cut style and there should be a smooth line, with no ridge, where the top and the side of the fabric ends.
Not sure what size you are, or feeling uncomfortable in your current size? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! A whopping 92% of women change bra size after their first fitting with us, so you’re not alone! We promise we can find you the uplifting fit that you deserve.

I have an arm injury so needed a bra to fasten at the front and there was only one on Bravissimo. It is good and looks nice but the straps cut in too tightly around the neck and show under most clothes.

This bra is so beautiful! I wish I could give it 5 stars but there are 2 problems for me - 1) it cuts into my breast bone a little, and 2) the support isn't great for larger size cups. Maybe that's just how it goes with front-closure bras. I did decide to keep it though think I'll probably only wear it for a few hours at a time.

Although it is easy to fasten at the front I hate the way the straps sit close to my neck so that they are visible when wearing a tshirt

In my 20s & 30s, when I was still a D or E cup, I wore front-closing bras most of the time. I’m so glad Bravissimo carries a couple of styles, now that I’m G/H. I tried to “wear-in” the needlessly difficult clasp before wearing for the first time. (The fit of the cups confirmed I’m now an H cup.) Really comfortable cups! But the clasp refuses to sit straight (so it looks stupid; I have a photo), and the sides of the cups are completely in my armpit! It was cutting off the circulation!! When I couldn’t tolerate that discomfort anymore, there was an additional minute of huffing and puffing while I struggled to undo the clasp. Soooo close to a great new bra for me. But, as it is, I doubt I’ll ever reach for it.

But much harder to get on than I thought. Had to send it back. Maybe it works better with smaller back sizes.

Very boring… broke my neck and have mobility issues… desperately needed a front loader which didn’t make me look like a builder (top heavyweight) - and, here it is, I can actually dress myself and it doesn’t put pressure on my neck - I’m gutted it’s sold out as this is a wash n wear while I wait for the next Dana - any colour, thank you Bravissimo Ladies - top marks

Tried this on in store after a fitting and bought the one I'd tried on as it was the last in my size. However when I got it home I couldn't undo the front fastening (the fitter had done it up before I bought it). I had to travel some distance to my most local store (I'd bought it while we were on holiday) to ask for help. The assistant was able to open it but with quite some force. I have some arthritis in my hands and although I did manage to open the fastening it took all of my strength to do so. I couldn't return it for an exchange as it's out of stock in my size, and it is a really lovely bra so I'll keep it and hope for the best.
