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 used to use the Panache Tango but found they fell apart so easily so have been in the Melrose for a while now. I can’t give 5 stars as no matter what I do straps don’t stay on my shoulders but it’s a great shape and support. I wish there were more colours though as I’d happily buy them all!

This bra is a really good fit and very comfortable. Quite a simple style, but perfect for me as I don’t like anything too fussy.

Review by Vasiliki K on
It seems like it’d be really comfy, but the shape is a no go.
It flattens me out on top and has a definite slope downwards, causing my ‘girls’ to sit quite low… so, side view is a flat downwards slope.
It’s going back.
It’s so hard shipping things over to straight away have to pay to send them back.
Ugh, the curse of the big cup size…

Gives good support but not comfortable at all. Digs in really painfully between boobs.
