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.

Sadly the straps rub and the back overlap seems to dig into my back. I am not sure why when I have the sister bra which is fab and the same size.

Pretty bra, but that's the only positive. For me, the cups are too wide and shallow. Baggy at the outside edge of the cups where the elastic is and yet I have major quadboob in the middle. Everything I hate in a bra. Wish that more manufacturers would realise that people's boobs are at the front of their body and not at the side!!

Having had the Matilda Bra previously in a size 34H. I plumped for this bra in a 32HH. It is extremely supportive, comfortable, pretty and in the Denim Blue, it looks really rich with the decorative patten on it. This style of Bra is my new go to. In the future I will be buying the white coloured bra. Tremendous thanks to the fitter in the Manchester branch who told me about this style and found the right fit.

Review by Jane on
I bought this bra at a fitting instore and was thrilled to find at last a wired bra that sat close as it is supposed to, so full marks for that. It felt comfortable and fitted well, going me a good shape so great stuff.
However, once I started wearing it, it didn't feel quite as comfy. The fit is great, but it is the fabric I have an issue with. It feels to me rather hard and hasn't softened with washing, so far. I will try to continue with it for now, but unless it softens a little it will likely sit in the drawer unworn. A shame, because finding a comfy bra that fits well isn't easy for a larger boobed woman, as I'm sure many out there will agree. So, find some softer fabric and it would be fantastic

Review by Jan W on
I had struggled with a couple of bras whete the straps dug in. Bravissimo were amazing and suggested the Elomi bra. Tbh I would not have picked this myself but its a revelation. It fits my books perfectly, doesn't dig in and the straps are comfortable. It has some clips to make it cross at the back which I have not used. Tbh I doubt they would meet and these can't be removed to I have to push them to the ends of the straps at the front. Makes no difference to the future but perhaps an option to buy without the clips would be an idea.
