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.

As I get older (and bigger?) I increasingly find underwires so uncomfortable. The last bra I bought a few weeks ago seemed to be a good fit but leaves me bruised & sore by the end of the day, so I ordered 3 styles of non-wired & this was the only one that had a reasonable shape & good fit. A very comfortable bra but only being available in black limits wear ability. More colours please!

Review by Kasia on
I’m an 26 ITU nurse 30J - the struggle is real to buy bras. The last year or so I’ve been wearing non wired and I absolutely hate it when I have to wear a wired bra. My size goes up in non wired which is why I purchased the 30J as opposed to 30HH. At work I like to be comfortable, although I haven’t worn it for the day yet, I can already feel that the straps are quite heavy on my shoulders. It also semi flattens and pushes them to the side by my arms. That being said, I’ll be keeping it because one my other wireless are fully dead to the world and the fabric is nice and supportive feeling. Other downside is the back strap. I’m normally a comfortable 30 but I’ve had to do this on the tightest and there isn’t a 28J available. If I could go into store I’d try a 30HH But with covid that’s all a bit long winded for me.

Review by Amanda on
I've tried a few non-wired bras before and been very dissapointed, the Panache Sophie bra being by far the worst, which made me reluctant to try more as I found them unwearable. Now that I'm pregnant I've found wires too uncomfortable and have had to revisit the non-wired options. I have a size 32H bust and the Nova Lounge bra has so far been the best everyday option I have found. It fits well, despite me having one boob larger than the other, which has always been a pit fall with other non-wired and non-moulded bras. It is comfortable, the band stays in place and I find it looks really good under a t-shirt and even appropriate for work. Not the usual saggy, baggy and pointy lopsided look that I get.
The only problem with it is that it only comes black. This has been somewhat problematic during the summer months when I've wanted to wear white or light coloured tops and dresses. Please Bravissimo could this bra also come in a white or a nude!?
Best lounge bra ever!!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Teresa on
I love this lounge bra so so comfortable & looks fabulous too. You could almost wear it as a bikini top... do supply bottoms to match.
To be honest if you would have been open I am pretty sure I would have gone down a size perhaps to a 34 GG or 34 G but I loved it so much I was keeping it also not taking the risk of it selling out, so I tighten it up across the back... anyhow you want to be comfy after all its a lounge bra.
Please do not discontinue this style and more colours please, Navy for starters.
I also miss going in store when are you opening as I really need to try some new bras on.
I really do like this bra.4 out of 5 stars

Review by Elizabeth on
I haven’t given it a very good star rating, because it is too big in the back, I have to do it up on the third hook and can’t go down a size because J is the largest cup. I also have to study it very hard before I can work out how to put it on. However, it is really comfortable to wear during the very hot weather we’ve been having and I did wear it to the supermarket without any mishaps. I didn’t have any red marks which I get from the underwired bras when the weather is hot, and like other reviewers would buy it in a lighter color so I could wear it under other tops.

Really pleased. First comfort bra that hasn’t given me a mono-boob. Large cup, small back. Not perfect but very, very good. Nice not to wear underwired. Ordered my standard bra size, fit was good. No riding up, everything stays in place.

I decided that after weeks at the start of lockdown wearing cropped tops, I couldn't go back to wires. I ordered this bra and I just won't go back. Its supportive and comfy, and I actually get to the end of the day and take it off at bed time..unlike wired bras that I almost rip off as I walk in through the door!
I would love this bra in other colours especially white or nude.
I've read so many other reviews that people would love other colours. Let's hope you are listening Bravissimo!
Issue with shoulder straps2 out of 5 stars

Review by Rachel K on
This is a really lovely shape and the material is good quality. However, I would agree with other reviews that the straps really dig into your shoulders- mine actually leave indentations in my skin which I find myself having to frequently adjust. I also find that there are 2 seams on the main band which also leave painful imprints.
The bra is tolerable to wear, but definitely not as comfortable as I was expecting!
