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 now have this in both black and blue, in multiple sizes for different times of the month! Generally speaking, I hover between 28HH and 30H, which both work well but so does 30GG (I’m 30GG in Amelia, if it helps). The actual cups inside the outer band are on the large side but the elastic material forming the outer bandeau top provides considerable support - I’ve worn this as a bra, on a few occasions. It does push you together at the front but also holds you in a bit: great for my mid-40s boobs, that need a bit more help, nowadays!
My only complaint would be the poor choice of matching bottoms: why can we not just have some ordinary bikini briefs, instead of skimpy ties, revealing Brazilian bottoms and mumsy waist highs? I had to settle for the shorts but they’re not ideal.
I REALLY miss Maya and Arla - please, Bravissimo, something like this, in a bra?

I adore this bikini top. I've worn it twice now when swimming and feel so confident and comfortable. Would definitely love more block colours in this instead of patterns.

I struggled for years with even just the idea of going to the beach and wear a swimsuit, I've never been able to found a bikini top that had support, coverage, felt comfortable and looked nice. I first purchased this bikini last year, I just ordered another one to have a backup. I literally wore it all summer. Please, we need more colors!!

This is the cutest top! I absolutely love it! Having large breasts I didn’t think I would be able to wear this style, but…. This one has so much support built in! It looks sporty and simple but still has all the support you need.
Exactly what I’ve been looking for5 out of 5 stars
