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 this bra. I have had so many underwired bras which left red sore mark's under my boobs where the wires dug in. So this was an amazing difference. I like the colour and feel of it. Not a lot in the way of shape or lift but I don't really mind and it does support.

This bra seemed a bit weird. The cups were too big and seemed to be pointing outwards to each side. You might want to order down a cup size (or two!) Or, anyway, do take advice from the Live Chat / Customer Service lady. The straps felt a bit narrow and that they would cut in, and I couldn’t discern any real support anywhere. I sent it back, as I found another option that suited me much better.

I bought this non-wired bra to wear for comfort on a long haul flight to New Zealand. I tried it on before leaving and was pleasantly surprised to find it was quite supportive and the cups separated my boobs nicely. Unfortunately after wearing this bra for a few hours the straps started to dig in and it started to feel quite restrictive around my ribs (not because it was small but because there was no real give to the material) and after a while it became super uncomfortable. I ended up having to undo the bra during the flight for some comfort and by the time I got to NZ I was about ready to never wear a bra again.

Review by Mindy on
I purchased this bra nearly a year ago, but it was so uncomfortable that I had only worn it a handful of times. It left painful red welts where it dug into the crest of my shoulder/armpit area. I desperately needed a good fitting and supportive non-wired bra, but I cannot wear an athletic bra everyday (the girls need some airflow every other day!). This bra does separate the girls, though they do have a weird bullet pointy shape. I can deal with the shape, but not the pain. I decided to alter the bra, and it works great now. If you have a sewing machine, cut the straps off, turn the edges under, and top stitch with a zig-zag stitch (essentially giving more space for your underarm). Reattach the straps. No more pain! This would be an easy pattern adjustment at the factory. Customer service: please tell manufacturer about complaints and this is a small tweak needed - I am not the only person to have made this complaint.

So this is an ok bra for non wired. Yes it's supportive, but gives you a really weird shape. Both boobs point east and west!
The shoulder straps could really do with some cushioning. I loved the position of them as I have small shoulders but found the straps to bend and roll into a crease causing red painful welts on the top of my shoulders.
Overall it's supportive but definitely needs some re designing for the much larger busted of ladies.

Review by Melissa W on
This is hands-down the most uncomfortable bra I’ve ever owned. The edging they use on the bra has tiny loops all around it and it’s stiff as a board. It does not soften at all from wear or washing and it acts like sandpaper on your skin. Doing nothing other than watching a movie results in raw, red marks, especially under my arms. I’ve found this to be true of several bras I’ve purchased from Bravissimo in the past, and it’s telling that they ask for reviews on size, fit and style, but not comfort.
The band was a tad on the small size, but still doable, and the cups were a tad on the large size. The support is great, and it’s impossible to get uniboob, like in many unwired bras.
It’s ugly as sin to wear though and when you put it on, it looks like the weirdest, almost bullet bra. With a shirt on though, you don’t notice it.

I wanted to like this as it was comfortable. But it made my 32H boobs look very odd, as if they had quarrelled and were pointing away from each other!

Review by Lisa on
I desperately needed some non-wired bras so ordered a selection this was one of two I kept. I like the slightly sporty feel to the design and colour and I like how much support it gives me. No, its not the same as wearing a wired bra, but with the benefit of no wires the support it gives is more than enough. I would never leave the house without a bra and didn't think I would without wire, I thought it would be an indoor bra but I was wrong. Holds and shapes well enough to be worn out without feeling self-conscious. Only comment was the 34 was a small 34, I had some back extenders and will use them rather than return it as I need to loose some weight.
