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.

The Nova bra is almost perfect. After trying many other non wired bras I decided to try this. If the straps were slightly wider It would be perfect. As it is I wear it in the evening only as all day it digs into my shoulders. I bought it as an evening bra so that’s fine but would love wider straps to wear all day. I am a cup size bigger in Bravissimo bras but could have probably got my normal size in this.

I tried this on in-store after eyeing it for months and was so excited to finally get a non-wired lounge bra where my boobs didn't sneak out under the bra strap. Loved it in store.
Unfortunately wearing it at home I've found that it really digs in where the major seams are (side of rib cage and top of shoulder). I get that aesthetically it's not going to give the same shape as a wired bra, but I was hoping it would be the kind of comfy where you just forget you're wearing it. Alas, nope. Maybe my boobs are just too heavy for a style like this. It still looks good and I like to have it as an option, but it just isn't the comfy-around-the-house support I was hoping for.

This bra is great is lots of ways, but I am frustrated that the deep seam down the centre of the cup shows through my clothes, and the hefty side seam digs into my body.

Love this bra…really flattering and soft fabric but well supportive. Looks good enough to be a bikini top too :)
Comfortable bed bra, but why no 28 back?4 out of 5 stars

Review by Emma on
I purchased this purely to wear indoors, as I needed a bed bra which keeps the girls separate all night (as comfy as the Zara and Flora are, I wake up in the morning to find the girls have snuggled up overnight).
I'm a 28H normally, so gave the 30GG a whirl.
It's comfortable enough, no issues with the shoulder straps and the cups are a lovely soft material. I find the band does ride up a little under my boobs, but it doesn't dig in so don't really see it as an issue.
It doesn't give me a great shape, definitely not enough support there to wear as a day bra for me, but enough to sleep comfortably in.
My only really gripe with this is why it isn't made in a 28 back? I want to buy the other colours but am waiting to see how the blush wears, as while the 30 fits on the smallest hooks now, after a few wears it may stretch a bit and end up riding up.
Please make this in a 28 in future colours, smaller framed girls need bed bras too.

Review by Tasha on
I had high hopes for this after the great reviews but it’s just not for me. It gave a really rounded shape but not attractively as it goes out to the sides too much. I also didn’t like the separate boob bits as one gets fully covered and the other you can see it a bit, if that makes sense? Just not my style at all.
Lovely quality though and can see how it would work for boobs less dense/rounded than mine.

This is a wonderfully comfortable bra, not only for lounging around in, I’ve also worn mine to work.
I’ll definitely get myself another one.

Most comfortable bra. I even use the wide front straps to compliment thin strap, low neck tops
