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.

I am in my 70’s and I do like a nice feminine bra. This one doesn’t disappoint, it’s comfortable, gives a good shape and is very pretty. I would like you to do these in more light colours please!

Looks fab and is so supportive however is so uncomfortable! Digs into your ribs when wearing all day to the point where you can’t wear it. Disappointing.

This bra was recommended by a Bravissimo stylist as a possibility when I said I love the Millie for comfort. but need more (unlined) uplift for dress. It gives a very perky, youthful profile and beautifully shaped front view. I wear a 30F in the Millie, and the size translates well. If they made this in traditional colors (blush, nude, pale pastels), I'd order 6!

Review by Gaynor on
I've had two of these bras now. I adore the style, shape, design and fit . I have a big complaint though, both have wires poking out the sides under my armpits. I wash them on 20 degrees handwashing in the machine with no spin so I'm sceptical that this is my fault ( they have to be washed) I've tried sewing something to keep the wire in but it's not worked which means these will now need to be replaced. I'm disappointed as I love this style so much. Has anyone else had this issue or am I washing my bras wrongly?
