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 was dubious at first due to the material being different to what I was expecting but this bra is actually very comfy and I like that you can change to a racer back (although you need someone to help you do that!)
Knocked a star off due to the shape it gives me, I prefer rounded and it gives me more of a pointy ‘50s pin up’ shape 😂

Review by Christine I on
So I have huge boobs, 34 KK. The bra in itself is a lovely design and has good coverage. It’s not the most comfortable for the following reasons but I can live with the niggles because I have to wear some kind of scaffolding for my girls but I live in hope that one day I’ll find a great bra without having to compromise.
My issues are 1. The band is ‘thin’ so it digs in more than a bra with a wider band. 2. The j clip- I wish this was below the strap adjuster!! I’m so short I need to have the straps quite shortened and using the j clips can feel like I’m being strangled. They are such a good idea I don’t know why all bras don’t have them, they would still work if below the adjustment slider but at least then may cater for shorter girls!!

Review by Catherine on
I tried this on at the Bravissimo store in Manchester after a recommendation from the girl fitting me.
After trying lots of styles on, I usually end up back with the Panache Tango, but I've found that lately that they havent been as supportive and have given me side boob. Not flattering!
I tried this and I absolutely love it. The fit is amazing, my boobs are where they are supposed to be up front and no side boob...hooray!
Please make this in more patterns and perhaps a nude for under pale tops. I'll definitely be buying more.
Best fit ever!!5 out of 5 stars

I’ve found it really difficult to find anything I feel comfy in and like the look of since Cleo stopped making the Marcie bra. However, today I discovered the ‘Mercie’ and I can honestly say I’m the happiest I’ve been for a long time. This bra fits beautifully and gives me the upfront shape that suits my small frame. Im a 30JJ. I really hope they continue to make this on different colours. I love it!
