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.

Review by Brenda A on
Went in for measurement, advised size and purchased two bras on recommendation given. When worn bra's they were uncomfortable and left painful marks digging into skin, fabric also rolled up. Returned to have further measurement, advised different size and two alternative bras were fitted and purchased- advised were only underwire option due to my size. Slight improvement to fitting but not pleased with quality or style. Won't be returning.
Simply the best!5 out of 5 stars

I used to buy bras at twice this price. I am really impressed by the fit and the quality of the material. Excellent value for money. Great service and advice from your fitter too.

Very keen to get this bra, but very disappointing. It really gave an odd shape to my breasts and the straps were very slack.
