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.

At last a pretty bra in my size (34E). Lovely lacey bra which makes you feel really feminine. Just need more colours now.

I am really happy with the fit and the fabric. In particular I love the way you have constructed the prosthetic pocket.
The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is purely based on colour.
Although I do love the red I wear quite a lot of white and pale colour tops and the red shows through, some people don't mind this but it makes me feel uncomfortable especially at work as I work in a secondary school.

Review by Julie C on
After breast cancer surgery I was signposted to various places for post mastectomy bras. Quite frankly they were dated, like something I would've worn in the 80s and often not in larger sizes. Just because I've had surgery does not mean I do not want to feel good about myself. Thankfully my usual bra shop came to the rescue. I was reticent about this bra due to the colour, however I attended the Milton Keynes store to try it on and fell in love with it straight away. The fit is great, the material lovely and the pockets are very easy to insert a prosthetic breast into. This bra has brought normality back into my life and made me feel good wearing it.
As with all other reviews - come on Bravissimo helps us out. Make this bra in different colours please just like you do with all your other bras. Give us options!

Been looking for such a long time to find a post surgery bra like this that's not only comfortable but pretty as well. We'll worth the money. Would love more colours and styles in the future if possible

Review by Patricia B on
Really like it but problems with the following:
1. The overshoulder straps are too narrow - more support needed
2 idea of fastening across the back - could be a good idea but uncomfortable and not removable
3 red is difficult to wear under a white top.
