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 had no idea it was a post surgery bra. I am fortunate so far not to have had breast cancer. I have not as yet worn it but I think it will be comfortable.

Ordered this bra a week after mastectomy and I am delighted with it! Lightweight, true to size, comfortable. My softy prosthetic stays in place and I look balanced. I feel secure and supported. My favourite pre surgery bra was Jenna, and the J clip helps to give a similar look and feel. I recognise my shape and I look like myself. After I tried it on, I started playing dress up with the clothes in my wardrobe and it boosted my confidence.
I would like to suggest future colour combinations of: black lace over grey mesh; cream lace over mocha mesh and ivory lace over blush mesh. Here’s hoping!
Finally a thank you to your brave models who encouraged me pre-op about how I would look post op and it took away my anxieties.
More please.

Having struggled for years to find a comfortable, flattering, with prosthesis pockets bra this is the best yet. Still could be improved upon such as the pocket linings are perhaps not the best design as they are flimsy and move around too much, the underband would ideally be a bit deeper for me and some alternative colours such as black, purple or cream would be nice. Look forward to hearing of some little improvements in the future.

It has been a breath of fresh air being able to wear a lacy bra again, this time with my prosthesis. The other padded post-surgery bras I have make my chest feel massive, but this weekend I have felt much more back to normal. Please make them in lots of different colours!

Very comfortable but after surgery probably could have had a slighter smaller cup size but wearable
