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’m a long time fan of the Gossard glossies bras, I love how they fit and how they look under clothes. I will say that if I put on weight and my boobs are feeling slightly too big for a g, which has happened as I’ve fluctuated, the straps can be a little too thin and dig in - that’s a me problem though. The main issue I found with this particular style is that the lace pattern can become a bit sore on the nipples as you’re wearing it. I still like the bra, I think when I wear it though I will put plasters or something on there to protect the nipple.

Usually LOVE the Glossies bras but in this material the holes in the lace are too big and my flesh squeezes through… unsightly and painful!
Scratchy material but a nice shape bra. Back strap hooks dig into back so very uncomfortable and had to complain.1 out of 5 stars

It feels delicate but gives a nice supported yet natural shape. Not hugely supportive but pretty and sexy 🙂

I have this bra in the leopard print and love it. It is not an everyday bra but more for going out due to the delicacy of the fabric. However, it is a good fit, sits well around the body and supports my bust well. A soft finish too to the extent that you feel as if you are not wearing a bra.
