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 quality is exceptional!
The bra size fit perfect, but because I am petite the rest is big and long, fits loose on me.
But I love the quality!!!

I was so disappointed when I tried this costume on. It was labelled as balconette but for me it certainly didn’t have balconette coverage, felt more plunge. The colours are absolutely gorgeous so it’s just a shame the fit isn’t great. I also feel you would need to size down slightly in the cups as the material was gaping at the sides but sizing down I think would provide even less coverage

I wasn’t planning on buying a swimsuit but spotted this in-store and loved the colours and pattern - lovely for summer holidays.
Tried my usual size, 32GG, but too small in cup so bought 32H which is a much better fit. It has washed really well without any colour-fade so I can look forward to wearing it again.

Review by Marion J on
I treated myself to this swimsuit, although I feel guilty about the price, because it's so fun to wear. The pattern is very pretty and it would look great worn on the beach with a sarong. I wanted a swimsuit which didn't have high-cut legs, and this one is great for that - it's reasonably modest in the cut. The elastic is quite tight around the legs, but not uncomfortably so, and I'm a size 18 (I bought a 40DD) so I imagine I'm the maximum size for the garment. I really like the overall cut of the swimsuit, it's flattering but not too revealing. The fabric is strong and feels as though it will last well. Can't wait to wear it on the beach!
