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 bought this bra so many times, as its the most comfortable bra. It fits so well, and is cut so nicely. Just love it! Cant recommend it enough. Just ordered it again!

This is by far the most comfortable bra I own! It gives a lovely rounded shape, my breasts lack fullness on top half, and offers good support. And also it has a bit of a minimising effect, which is a plus when wearing tighter fitting tops! I actually forget I’ve got this bra on which is very rare. I've purchased it in black and intend on getting the nude as well.

Tried a white in shop fitted fine, so bought a black as well. However, the black is so much bigger and has to be worn on tightest hooks, whereas the white on the first. Both comfortable except wires can dig in the middle.

I thought that I would try a different bra in the Fantasie range and I am really disappointed. It looks lovely and the fit was perfect, but for me as a 30F, it lacked the necessary support. I would have kept it if I had been someone who lounges around all day, but as soon as I walked downstairs, I could feel the bounce. So, sadly I have had to return - it's not the bra for me.

Really disappointed. I bought this bra a couple of years ago in a 34HH - comfortable, great fit, and 3 hooks wide on the band. Replaced it a few months ago with a 36H, to find that it only has 2 hook width on the band, so it digs in and bends where it shouldn't. Extra strain on the hooks means it's already coming apart. I won't be buying another.

I’ve worn Fantasie bras for many years in different styles. They’ve always given good support. This one doesn’t. Very disappointed.

Review by Claire on
I bought this bra after reading all the reviews, I had previously purchased the illusion bra by Fantasie and loved it! This bra is good but I don’t feel it is as comfortable as the illusion, the wires in between the bust move a lot more which left me slightly uncomfortable. By no means is it a bad bra, it supports, it’s pretty but my preference is the illusion.

Review by Rachael on
I've been using Bravissimo for years after finally giving up with another bra company (M and S) as it caused a rub mark with the wires.
I normally love Bravissimo bras and having had this style before I was keen to use it again. I've had a baby and lost weight so needed a new bra.
This is the only Bravissimo bra that I absolutely hate. I can't wait to take it off and can only wear it in the house as after a few hours it feels horrible. It's caused a rub mark around the side of my boob as the cup wire has an extra bit of fabric sticking out above the wire. This bends as I move and makes it uncomfortable. I have tried it on the tightest and loosest setting but it has made no difference.
On a separate note, I am also disappointed that the three band option is only for certain sizes. I felt much more supported than I do in two.
I have had to return a bunch of bras as I just couldn't get the right fit. I have used the telephone service in the past and it is hit and miss. You don't do larger back sizes so I can't fiddle around with the cup/back size. Out of desperation, I've had to go back to using them and have actually found a bra that doesn't rub and is comfortable. It is also three bands (and nearly half the price).
I always tell people to go to Bravissimo for bras as normally they are fab. But after this latest experience, I'm not so sure.
