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.

The only reason I dropped a star is because for me, synthetic materials are just so uncomfortable and make me sore. But then that's always to be expected when you are big busted, and has always been the case.

Absolutely brilliant online fitting chat, found my new size bra and went with the recommended bra and size.
It fits like a glove and I’ve only been out running in it once but it’s way better than the compression bra I had before. No bounce, no movement. Really good boob separation and looks so much better than a uniboob!

I'm one of those people for whom the legendary Panache Sport just doesn't work and nor does Elomi Energise. I'm full on bottom with narrow roots, and exercise best when my breasts aren't in my armpits (Energise), only loosely contained at the half-empty top of the cup (Panache Sport) or smooshed together with a big old sweat channel running between them (most non-underwired styles).
When Bravissimo first brought this style out I jumped on it, and I haven't looked back.
This colourway is a good neutral under my sports gear. If it should ever happen that the blue/white/grey came back I'd be a happy camper! The blue/orange is just too orange for my tastes.
As is usualy for me, I went up a cup size for my sports bra to keep that firmness without feeling like I'm being crushed by my own jubblies.
If Bravissimo ever decide to start using narrower wires in this style (or bring out a similar) I'd love to give that a whirl too.

Even the cup was too small i had to return for exchange. Waiting now for my package to arrive. I know sport bra are meant to hold but the tightness is getting out of hand. The 1st time i got this bra was 5years ago and i love it but now something changed and i felt so disappointed truly speaking
This is my everyday bra now - comfort over pretty 😃5 out of 5 stars

I originally bought this bra a while ago, with the intention of starting the gym 🤪.
I’ve had sports bras in the past and they’ve been so uncomfortable & having a v large chest, they either attempted to squeeze all my bust into one mono boob, unsucessfully, or just didn’t offer any support.
I only ever buy Bravissimo own brand bras now as I find they offer good support and fit, so I thought I’d give theirs a go.
I never really got to the gym, so this bra sat in my drawer for ages.
I work in a school, so when the first lockdown happened and we had to the Joe Wicks PE sessions with the kids, I popped this bra on.
I don’t wear anything else now. I know it’s a sports bra and they’re not traditional ‘pretty’, or classed as an everyday bra, but I don’t care. Comfort for me everyday please.
I am currently very heavily pregnant, and this bra has expanded with me - I was worried initially that I’d get too big to wear it, already starting with a 36-38 HH / J chest, but I’m top end of what Bravissimo offer (currently wearing this in a 40J), but my boobs are comfortable, it doesn’t pinch or ache under my arms or my bust, or leave ingrained red marks. I’m not dying to take it off as soon as I’m home from anywhere, I could wear it day and night.
Plus with the support it offers, my boobs are quite ‘up there’ even being this big, they’re not half way down my torso 😂
It’s going to take a lot to convert me back to a normal bra, because so far I haven’t found anything that supports and that is this comfortable enough to wear all day everyday.
