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.

This is a nice bra. I preferred the colours/pattern of previous sports spas but this is comfortable and supportive.

Review by Anonyhedgehog on
I've never reviewed any of my bras before, but I love this one so much I feel compelled to sing its praises. I usually wear non-wired sports bras, but wanted to give wired sports bras a go, as I find compression bras are fine to wear for shorter workouts (ideally up to an hour), but they get uncomfortable for me with extended wearing. I went into a local Bravissimo branch and tried all the wired sports bras they had in my size, and this one fit perfectly and was was probably the most comfortable, not just of the ones I tried that day, but of any sports bra I've ever worn. The material is nice and soft, and I think there's extra padding around the underwires because I could barely feel them, even as someone who usually hates the feeling of underwires. The encapsulation style means my boobs didn't feel squished (plus gave a nice shape); the four hooks on the band are a bit of a faff to do up, but they are worth it as it means the hold of the bra is distributed over a wider surface so it doesn't feel tight, and I don't have any red marks when I take it off, even after wearing for several hours. One other thing I love about it is that, while there are some great cross-back styles offering great hold which are perfect for running, my issue with those styles is that they can be quite restrictive around the shoulders, which makes them less practical for other high-impact activities that require arm mobility, such as HIIT, basketball or martial arts. Whereas this bra holds my boobs firmly enough to run in but doesn't compromise any mobility. Definitely my new favourite!
Like some other reviewers have already said, I would love to have it in additional designs, including also some plain colours to wear less visibly under work clothes.

I usually wear Shock Absorbers but I was in need of a new sports bra and loved the look of this. I was apprehensive at first because I’ve never worn a wired sports bra but this is actually more comfortable than my compression bras and holds up just as well for runs and HIIT work outs. It looks great and is very flattering.

I am loving this bra. Have only just bought it but it is comfortable, gives good shape and fits well. So far have used it for walking and tennis and all is good.
I do wish it was available in a plainer colour to go under walking/light coloured clothing as I wear sports bras for work as well as leisure and dark funky colours aren't always appropriate/discreet. Please Bravissimo, so so 'quiet' options in the sports bra range, and in this one in particular.
