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.

This bra is supportive and as comfortable as a sports bra can be! I struggle to fasten the styles with a racer back so the fastening is perfect for me. I ordered 2sizes and found the smaller band with a larger cup was best, as advised by previous customers.

Think it is supposed to squash your breasts close to your chest to stop bounce. I can’t do up racer back when it is on, so do this first then pull over head & squash breasts into cups, then do up normal hooks & eyes at the back. It is OK when on. Not the easiest of bras to wear, especially if you want to clip straps to make racer back!

I love this sports bra. The only complaint I have with it is it rubs on the sides near my underarms. Otherwise it’s great. It holds the girls in place and I don’t have ANY cleavage!

The strap on this bra came off in my hand when adjusting the straps on the first day I wore it. The strap doesn't shorten enough anyway, so I kept the bra and cut some of the length off the straps and sewed them back on with my trusty sewing machine. The cups offer good coverage and support and the wide straps protect the shoulders. I wear this bra all day, not for sport and it's comfortable enough to wear at night.

Got my normal back size. Normally for a sports bra I go up a back size. I went up two cup sizes though. Honestly, if I hadn’t of been in the shop to try it I would never of figured out my size in this particular bra. I absolutely love the bra, it ticks every box and I wear it as a regular bra. I purchased the black but if a bright red came out or something funky colour wise I’d probably purchase again.

I don't like the Panache sports bra. I think I'm the only one who hates that bra. So, I tried this one with low hopes, I took a bigger cup size because according to the reviews the sizing is wonky. I loved it, it's comfortable and got me through 3 work out sessions already without a problem.

I have just been able to run for the first time since puberty thanks to this absolutely amazing sports bra. I’m buying backups and one in all my adjacent sizes so I have backups if I gain or lose weight. This is an absolute game changer. Please don’t discontinue this ever!

Review by Lina on
I ordered this bra after much consideration, largely based on the overwhelming number of positive reviews. After having this bra for a few weeks, it feels as though I've recieved a completely different product. To start off, the bra arrived with a number of the edges fraying. But worse yet, it's the most uncomfortable sports bra I have had the misfotune of using. While to the touch the seams feel soft, when actually worn they scratch (leaving actual red scratch marks) and itch. To aleviate the discomfort I have to loosen the band as much as possible, but the already poor support becomes essentially nonexistant. Having it go through the wash a few times has not helped. Were I not in desperate need of a sports bra and quarantine were not in place, I would have definitely sent back this purchase. Do not recommend.
