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 love my new bra! I have huge massive boobs (HH cup!) and some roll fat at front and back and this is by FAR most comfortable bra I have ever had. No double boob, no spillag,... it's full cup, so it is FULL. Maybe not the prettiest design, but who cares - this is everyday, under a shirt bra and it is what it says on the tin.
At last a smooth almost-T-shirt bra for me!3 out of 5 stars

I like this! OK, so it's full cup and after a few wears/washes I expect the shape/support to lessen for me (I prefer the firm shape/support of Candy Bliss balconette styles - I'm bottom-heavy and the ski-slope shape makes my boobs look higher up!) Having said that it does feel a little firmer than Layla and Erin, which I've previously tried.
It's not an unattractive bra, nor 'huge- looking' and best of all doesn't show through clothes as much as anything else I've tried (just a hint of the cross-cup seam, which is as good as it gets for me!
Most side-sling bras with stretch lace edged top-cups wrinkle on my smaller side (Erin) This doesn't do that at all and sits nicely, even though one side is at least a cup size smaller.
I had to size down to a 30J, as the band is big - I could probably have done with a JJ cup, but I think because it is 'full-cup' it's a bit higher up the breast anyway, and seems just about OK (doesn't go up to JJ)
I've worn it for a few hours and it feels super-comfortable - the padding on the back on the clip feels nice too.
I also tried Selina and Selina Lace, but the stretch in this bra was much better for my different sizes, without me falling out (Nina)
Bravissimo - ask Fantasie for a JJ cup, and please do a moulded or 'Candy Bliss' balconette t-shirt bra in J/JJ!

I was so excited for this bra, as it was very pretty and supposedly disappeared under clothing. It's a shame really, as it's a beautiful colour, very comfortable, gives a nice shape... But you can easily see it through my work polo shirts and so I'm very disappointed really. As normally your bras are amazing!

I popped into the Chelmsford branch and tried lots on. This one has the fullest coverage and gives a great shape. It is now my comfy, go-to bra for work. Very smoothing & I don’t feel like I’m going to fall out. A great secure bra for a busy lifestyle! I shall be buying all the colours.

Called into Covent Garden for a fitting and found all the usual problems! I was a Panache Tango classic wearer until they discontinued this - the one bra in 60 years that seemed to have been made with me in mind. Now we are back to the story of my life: nothing seems to be my shape. Found two styles that seemed to fit - Fantasie's Illusion was one of them. Wore it the following day (after struggling almost the point of giving up to do up the wide, three hook fastening). But by evening, I was in agony. The underwires were actually bruising me round the ribcage to the point of having to take the bra off. Needless to say, I shall never wear it again. It looks elegant enough in the pictures, but it's also got a very clumsy, shiny looking, old-fashioned finish - I'd told myself to just put up with this sort of upholstery effect in order to have a bra that fit properly... but clearly, the whole thing was a complete 'illusion' and I will not be trying Fantasie again. Very disappointed and out of pocket to the tune of £32.

I tried this bra on in store and the fit is perfect. I like a full cup for added support and this fits the bill. Gives me a great shape and is lovely and smooth so fits nicely under clothes. Will be buying in black also!

Oh dear. The top, decorative part is shiny. It reminds me of the big bras you see on market stalls, so lacking in style, and vast. I'm not a small-breasted lady by any means but there is a lot of this bra. Apart from the scary resemblance to something my gran would wear, it makes your boobs downward facing, which is very aging, and the straps are high on the sides so it digs in and would chafe after a while. Sorry, it's going back.

I recently bought this bra from Bravissimo in Reading. It is one of the most comfortable bras I’ve ever bought. It gives a brilliant shape for me and I’m just going to purchase the nude and black!!! I’m a 36F but the 36E was like it was made just for me!!
