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 tried so many brands and styles of sports bras, in my usual 30F, that didn't work out. I was getting nervous that I'd never be able to find a sports bra that fit. Bravissimo has saved me! Though I did have to go up a cup size, I really like the shape, style and support of this bra. Looks like Bravissimo is my go to, not only for bathing suits, but for sports bras too! Thank you!

It’s very supportive but the pointiness aspect is mortifying in the gym. I feel like I have stepped out of a 1950s kitchen. Upside is that, unlike the Shock Absorber, you can mostly breathe. Downside is you’ll have somebody’s eye out. Oh yeah, size up.

I like these bras and have several pairs, so I was really happy to see several new colours, and bought three new pairs. The back size on all 3 is absurdly small - I am a back size 38 and these were like trying on a 32. It's a pain in the neck not to be able have reliable sizing.

Review by Zoe on
I wear these almost every day to work and find them super supportive and very comfortable. Like all of the Bravissimo bras I find I have to go up a couple of sizes in the cup over my usual Fantasie/Freya size but find the back true to size. These wash well and the elastic lasts a long time despite heavy wear. I have bought the blue/orange and the yellow, animal print one as well this time and am happy with all of them. This is not the most attractive bra or sexy in any way, but I wear it for long shifts under scrubs and it is perfect for this. I don't find them quite enough support for high impact exercise, but they are also good for hiking and travelling. The front of the bra can be quite high under lower tops.

This is the second Bravissimo brand sports bra I have purchased. Having tried all other makes and spent a lot of money trying to get the perfect fit I Think this is a great bra. Gives lift and shape plus good coverage, keeping my 32G boobs in place!!! I have had to go up a back size to a 34 but then I usually do in other brand sports bras.

Although I (see below) am still really happy with this bra, I realised I did in fact, following the advice of the chat, order one cup size bigger. So forget what I said about sticking to your usual size - get a cup size bigger and you too, will hopefully be really happy!
