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 like this bra but the stitching inside is scratchy - particularly where the straps and label are attached. Would like wider straps too - bras in larger cup sizes need wider straps and underbands. Scaling up from a bra design that suits women with smaller breasts doesn't work for larger sizes. Such a basic mistake which so many bra manufacturers make. Have been saying this for YEARS.

I had my doubts about ordering this, despite reading the great reviews. It was worth a try.
I need't have worried as the support it gives is great and it's comfy, as well as giving separation which I do not get from the sleep bras. Also very low under the arms which is another plus. Although the shape it gives is like a minimiser bra.
In some ways it looks and feels like a bikini top and so it doesn’t matter if it shows under your top on a hot day. In fact you could whip your top off at the beach and soak up the sun without looking out of place.

I love the Nova Lounge Bra and just ordered it a second time in quick succession. For a wireless bra, it gives a pretty good shape and support and feels really nice.
For the last few years, I've exclusively worn the Panache underwired sports bra for everyday wear, so the Nova Lounge bra is much softer than what I'm used to, but I still feel comfortable wearing it out and about.
I only wish the straps were wider and a bit padded; they're digging into my shoulders, and there's a seam that hits the exact spot where it can do the most itching "damage".

This is my favourite bra. No wires and it's really supportive and gives a great shape under my clothes. Lovely soft fabric and pretty colours, what's not to like. Also offers some separation of the boobs and looks really flattering. A firm favourite!

Soft, comfortable and wearable apart from straps - they twist and go thin and really dig in to shoulder like a knife. I think the design could be improved by a stronger deeper back / bodice band - which would give more support around the rib cage and take some of the weight off the shoulders. However, the shoulder straps appear to be of bad design and construction - they twist, ( no strength) they appear to be unable to lie flat and really dig in.
I don’t know why these things can’t have a bit more thought put into them !
(I hope you read these reviews ??)

Bought the bra for post surgery and it is great. So soft and comfortable, you can hardly feel you are wearing it. It looks exactly as it does in the picture and I have had comments from the surgical team about how pretty it looks. Great colour too. Not as uplifting as a wired bra, but still supportive. No seams to annoy any scars and stretches over any dressings really easily. Might buy another one - so comfortable.
