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.

Nice comfy bra for big boobs. Good for travelling when seated for long time (no underwires stabbing in). Only slight down side is straps could may be better if slightly wider, just to reduce uneditable dig in from big boob weight. I’ll buy again though

This bra is one of my new favourite things. I needed something different following a Lumpectomy and Lymph Node Biopsy as other bras were not right for my Lymph Node Scar Site. This bra is perfect for me - it is so comfortable.
Please Bravissimo, can you make the Nova bra in smaller sizes. I know I am likely to need more surgery in a few months time and would really like to continue to be able to buy this bra to fit my slightly smaller self when I do. Having comfortable support makes such a difference when you have bothersome boobs!

I was really hopeful for this bra! We have a cottage and have guests frequently so really want something I can put on for modesty in the morning without feeling like I’m getting dressed for the day. I found the band around my ribs to feel tight and like it was digging in but not supportive. All of the weight of my chest was in the shoulder straps. There was really no support and it was just uncomfortable. Not for me!

I am not use to wearing a bra without being underwired. As I have an ample bosom, the bra was comfortable by but the bra straps dug into my shoulders. When loosened, the bra did not provide support.

I rarely wear non-wired styles, because they never seem to provide decent separation of comfort for me. This somehow manages to give separation and some light support. You'll still get some movement, but nothing uncomfortable.
This has also become my bra to wear to the airport, due to the lack of wires. No more getting stopped at security for extra pat-downs because of underwires! It's also comfortable in the air when anything too constricting can get uncomfortable.
Occasionally the straps dig in a little, even when adjusted to be a bit looser, but overall this is a fairly comfortable bra to have around.

Hands down the best non wired bra I've ever worn! Avoids the dreaded sweaty mono boob and gives surprisingly good support! I had to run across a road yesterday and all felt good, no black eyes ha ha. I have a 14 month old baby so I'm bending down a lot and I never feel the need to adjust myself. ONLY DOWNSIDE you cannot wear a low cut or strappy style top with this so it won't be great in summer. If it came in a fun pattern like leopard print then I'd love to show it off, but in the current colours it just looks like your bra is on show.
