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'm big in boob but short in length and I could pull this suit almost to my knees. Was lovely around the bust area though, but I think I would have shown off a bit much 'below' as I got out of the pool! Tried two sizes but had to send both back.
Brilliant costume!5 out of 5 stars

I needed a "swimming" costume but never managed to find one that would provoke decent support. I ordered according to my bra size, thinking I would end up sending it back. It is the most comfortable supporting costume, yet it feels light. I am very pleased with it and can highly recommend it!

Review by Judi T on
I was so excited the first day I wore it! I was concerned it wouldn't be a good fit as I don't think my body length matches my bra size but it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed two swims where I felt more supported than ever. It was a little loose in places but OK.
Unfortunately, in the middle of my third swim I became aware of the rubbing under my arms which has continued during subsequent swims. It has affected my pleasure but I'm hoping that the suit just needs wearing in so maybe I'll come back to update the review!
I think it needs an option to tighten the length over the shoulders - like most bras have.

Lovely looking swimsuit but unfortunately comes up way too long. Although the bust size fitted there was not enough support for me especially at the sides.
Good, but not perfect.4 out of 5 stars

Review by Karen M on
I was sceptical about buying a non-wired swimming costume, because I wasn’t sure it would support me enough. I was very pleasantly surprised that it fit really well, both around the bust area and in the length.
I have swum once a week for the past 4 weeks and can say that it has held up really well, apart from the top strap, which after an hour of constant swimming feels like it has moved up so it’s around my neck and becomes uncomfortable.
Hence the four stars instead of 5. If I could have given 4 1/2 stars, I think it would better describe how pleased with this item I am, despite the strap.
If I were to swim more than once a week, I would definitely buy another because of washing/drying, but they’re a little too expensive for me to be quite so extravagant.
Over all, I have to say it is good, but not perfect.
