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.

Although I thought the price tag was high, I already had the bikini, so I will use this one as a top on my way to the beach as it is not too tight. Big knotted white blouse and you have a nice outfit

First item of any sort I’ve bought from you and bought online AND it fits perfectly. I love that the support is hidden and I don’t feel trussed up in it. I will definitely buy from you again and have recommended to all my friends. Thank you 😊

Review by Susan F on
I have been wearing the Free tankini in 32GG for years, but needed a new one having put on a bit of weight and been left with a huge lumpy scar after recent major abdominal surgery. I've also gone up from a 30GG to a 32GG bra.
Like the Free tankini, I had to go up a back size to get a better fit around the stomach, and it is more generous, and a bit longer than the Free tankini (I am 5'7" and like the extra length). I bought the 34GG having tried in store. Being small backed, but with larger hips and stomach, I have found a tankini works better, as I can buy larger bottoms (size 16 XL), while getting the correct fit and support on top.
Although the colour is perhaps not what I would have chosen (pale green), it looks better than expected on my pale skin.
I very often find the bikini bottoms of swimwear 'move', and I like good coverage (I'm in my late 50's). I actually got the briefs directly from the manufacturer in a fuller style, as the briefs stocked by Bravissimo are a bit low and give an extra roll I just don't need on my stomach, but they did fit well.
Having now worn this on holiday, I am really pleased with it - who would have thought I'd end up with swimwear with ruching - it is flattering though!

Wanted to find a new swimsuit for ages. This tankini fitted lovely and was very comfortable and easy to put on, compared to others, well worth paying more for.

I feel that this tankini is over priced. I don’t see any difference between this tankini and the other ones I have which didn’t cost nearly as much. I also found it very difficult to get on and off.
