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.

Got fitted with this in store did not realise it was a post surgery bra. I did not need it for that reason just because it was non wired. But it is comfortable.

Love my post surgery bra and matching briefs. Feel like the old me again! Well-done Bravissimo it's the first time since my surgery and treatment I've felt good about a bra. Lovely to look at and so comfortable to wear. The service was first class from my initial enquiry to my fitting with your young assistant who made me feel comfortable and special. You have a new customer. Huge thank you!

I have struggled for 2 years post left sided mastectomy to find a bra as good as this. It is truly perfect - good shape, attractive, fits to size, the pockets open in centre of cup so i can fit prosthesis in once I've put bra on at front and swivelled it round to back (bad shoulders). I no longer concuss myself swinging a heavy prosthesis round or damage fragile fabrics. The design is perfect but please do this in lovely other colours - turquoise, light blue, purple, as well as work wear basics of white, nude and black.

I don’t usually go for lacy bras but post lumpectomy and treatment I wanted something that could hold my prosthesis, give support and be comfy to wear. This fits the bill. I was a bit worried as the lace seemed to be a bit prominent but that seems to have settled with wear. My only gripe would be why is it only available in red? Could we have something more neutral for under summer clothes please?

Having recently had a mastectomy I was struggling to find a beautiful bra that could help me to feel confident and feminine. I am a 40 H and it is almost impossible to find a post surgery bra in this size, never mind one that is so feminine. I love this bra, well done Bravissimo. Offering more colours would be so helpful.

Lovely to have a comfortable and glamorous post-surgery bra.
It would be great to have a pale pink or white version to wear under light coloured clothing.

A huge improvement on my ugly grey post surgery bra! The mesh pocket is shaped to lie flat against the chest and accommodate a prosthetic, but for the intact boob this doesn’t work perfectly as the mesh fabric needs to be stretched above and below the breast which isn’t comfortable.
I cut the mesh away to give my non-operated on boob enough space to comfortably fill the cup. I’d suggest Bravissimo produce some to suit lumpectomy and Axilla clearance patients. The high side panel is very good for making the lymph node removal scars feel comfortable and protected.
