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 bought this bra in a size 30H. It fits really nicely, gives a great smooth shape!

It just arrived and I'm in love. It's soft and cozy but all the same time gives you the nice round shape and a bit of cleavage. Yes, there is some bounceing action, but I don't mind. Please make it in more colour options in bigger cup size, I'd love the pink or olive.

Very cute bra with comfortable underwire. Runs a tad bit on the small side, both band and cup wise, but not enough for my to upsize. Enjoyable and definitely one of my favorite bras.

Review by Cait on
Deep plunge/triangle bras are basically unicorns in my 32HH world, so I jumped on it even though H was the biggest size they had at the time. So I tried the ‘sister size’ method and got the 34H hoping it’d work. Good news is this bra fits my narrow frame! Now I can actually wear an outfit without my boobs becoming the outfit. It’s very pretty and creates a nice silhouette, which is a feat in the large bra arena for some reason. Support from the band is amazing. The straps can get uncomfortable until I re-adjust because of the issue below.
Bad news is the sister method didn’t work. I tend to have to wear thicker tops so spillage isn’t as noticeable. Due to the shape of the cup, you’ll need all the fabric you can get. Go up a cup size, keep the straps tight, and you’ll be fine. Also, the wires under the armpits and at the gore can get extremely painful after a full day. This seems to be a fact for all underwire so I don’t hold it against this bra. I’ve sewn in little patches at each end of the underwire and it’s fixed the problem completely.

Review by Freya on
Nice bra with pretty lace detailing. I tried it in my usual size and found that it had a smooshing/flattening effect, pressing my breasts further down my chest and leaving wrinking at the bottom of the cups. I think it was too shallow and wide for me but would work for a different shape with a minimising effect.

Review by C on
When I first bought this bra I really loved it, but after removing the labels and wearing it for a day it was really uncomfortable. The wiring felt really stiff and as though it was digging into my ribs. In hindsight I wish I'd bought it a band size larger as I ended up using a bra extension and willing the elastic to give...

Review by Helen on
I can't express how much I love this one. Truly bralette style, it's not like other bras where you feel like you're drowning in fabric. The back band is much slimmer than other styles but just as supportive. It's so pretty and the scalloped edges are beautiful, without making it look over the top lacy. I love how delicate it is! Finally, a flattering and supportive bra for bigger busts. My size varies slightly between styles but in Bravissimo bras I'm nearly always a 30FF and it fits perfectly. I tried a 32F beforehand and it wasn't quite right.
