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.

Really like the style of this tankini top only negative is the clip is a bit fiddly would be easier if it was more like a bra clasp.

Liked the thought of this tanking but a nightmare for me to fasten. The bottom part fit well. Returned it to your shop in Liverpool and they fitted me up with a different style which fits excellently and has a bra type fastening.

I'm delighted with the new tankini - it's smart and comfortable and the top could easily be used as a strappy top too. I found I needed one back size smaller than I wear in bras to get a good fit.

Looks good, and gives great coverage.. Supportive, even with the underwires removed (preferred for regular swimming). Just remember to order the bottoms as an addition!
Have already ordered the similar green tankini and very happy with this too.
You get what you pay for and this is great quality.
Bravo Bravissimo!

I am not very body confident, but this is so comfortable and gives me a great shape. Super pleased. Can't wait to wear it on holiday in Kos, Greece.

Review by Terry S on
This was my first attempt at a tankini so perhaps this is more about tankinis than this swimsuit. But I sent mine back, as it was like wearing a baggy t-shirt that was simultaneously tight in the breasts ie it hugged in all the wrong places for my figure. But the fit was true to size and the fabric was nice : it’s thicker than most swimsuit fabrics.

Review by Mary M on
I really quite liked the tankini, great to get one in a larger size, but after using it for 5 days of the 10 I was away, the underwire popped up and the between boob connection was coming apart
Really disappointed, fortunately I took 2 others which I've had for years so I still had something I could use
No quibble refund on my return but not what I'd hoped for
