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.

Review by Anne F on
I have been 36 L for some time now and I prefer full cup styles so the Darcy was the best option for me.Being this size does limit options. Since the recent changes and following recommendations to come down a size in the cup - and a return initially - I am now happily wearing a 36 k- down 2 cup sizes!! So comfortable and the extra stretch in the fabric means both of my “girls” ( one slightly larger than the other) are equally supported and there’s no spill over. Love the black and the nude- more colours please!!!! One drawback- the straps fold over. Please fix that and this would be perfect!!

fits like a dream, shoulder strap can be altered and comfortable so no slipping off and pulling back on.
High on the sides and boobs in the correct place and looks lovely. Going to order another colour soon

At last, a bra that covers and holds everything in place as well as being comfortable. I 'm delighted with this new style, I ordered it in black and I'm thinking of ordering it in other colours.

I’ve worn the Darcy before because of the full cup which gave good cover and support and went up to L in cup size.
Being an L cup does limit my choices and having that option with Bravissimo is great.
The new bra which I got in both black( thanks for that) and Latte is very comfortable.... the cups fit even better than before. I followed the suggestion that I come down a cup size which I did. But the KK was also too big So now I’m a very happy 36K ! I feel supported, secure and the lace detail is pretty and sexy. Like other reviewers the one negative is the way the strap folds over. More colours please!!!

I've waited to write my review until I've worn the bra a few times.
For a full rounded bust and a freya deco moulded bra fanatic, changing to a non moulded bra was scary! Really scary!
The Darcy bra is well fitting, with a nice upper part of the cup being flexible. A great side panel to keep you in comfortably! Rose gold fastenings are a great touch!
There are 2 things I have to say are my negatives - the folding of the shoulder strap - please find a way to overcome this!
I would think that 4 hook and eye would be much better for the larger bust too.
Other than that, a great bra!

Review by Carole C on
This bra, in the black with the "New & Improved Fit for J+ Cup" is indeed very comfortable, especially the under band-which lies smooth and flat. I can wear it all day and it's still comfortable at the end of the day. It did not run large in the cup size for me as suggested on the website. I did order it in two sizes to see if I needed to size down, but I did not need to. I kept my usual JJ size. I have a usual problem of keeping bra straps on my narrow shoulders and I do have a SLIGHT problem with this one, however, usually I have a BIG problem so this is a great improvement for me regarding that.
