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.

Comfortable. Supportive. Clean, classic design. No digging from fasteners. I’ve been suffering from back pain and my osteopath suggested going up a back size, which slightly reduces the support but has made a big difference to the pain.

I’m pregnant so my breasts are extremely sensitive and painful and they keep growing! I’ve already gone up 2 sizes. This is the only bra I’ve found that is soft enough and supportive enough to hold me up without hurting the skin or my nipples. The material is so soft and the underwire is comfortable, as are the straps. Cannot recommend this bra enough. The elasticated top section of the cup makes me feel well supported, the shape is lovely and round, not pointy. I’ve ordered 2 more in a back size up to see me through the next stage of pregnancy!

Bought this bra in November, lovely fit and very comfortable but material along the bottom holding the wire has split open exposing wire so can no longer wear after such a short time wearing it so won’t risk getting another one.

This is my favorite bra right now! It fits great for those having uneven cup sizes and it really holds everything in place.

I bought one in beige and found it is the most comfortable bra ever. The fabric is a joy to wear. Full coverage so no over spill. I was so impressed that I bought a white one too.

Review by Andrea on
Bought the knickers and bra. The knickers were of a high cut and comfortable. The bra looks pretty until you wear it! It is uncomfortable and appears to make my bust look like I have a 1950s pointy bra on. Absolutely awful. Have washed it and tried it a few times but alas what a waste of money

Review by Laura on
I'm a 34E, with breasts that are both low and wide-set. I hold most of my volume at the bottom of my breasts. I tried about 20 different styles, and this one takes the cake. It is absolutely perfect in every way. One of the key features is the side sling and now I know to always look for that element. It shapes my breasts forward and up; something that I didn't think was possible. The stretchy mesh at the top means I don't have to worry about those gaps at the top that I get from moulded cups. Also, this bra has a minimising effect, showing off my waist, making me appear thinner all around. I also find the satin/lace combo sexy, which is a bonus with bigger bras. I wore it yesterday and did a bit of everything; cooking, cleaning, piano playing, walking, lounging...it works. I couldn't even feel it. Yes, there are seams, but they barely show through my thinner cotton shirts and tanks. I've also learned that seams are my best friends in the shaping department. Can't say enough good things, just try it!
