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.

This is a lovely colour and fit but I don’t think I’ll use it much as it’s ridiculously difficult to get on.

Review by Jennifer S on
Tried this in my usual bra size at a fitting. The underneath bra was great, felt secure if a little complicated with extra lining.. however there seemed to be a lot of loose fabric in the upper part of the tankini. The fitter suggested a smaller size, which I ordered as it was not in stock. Once again, the bra part was great but even the smaller size had extra fabric and the bust darts seem to be in a peculiar place. Shame - I did like the textured fabric of this tankini, but I returned it for a refund. Hopefully bravissimo will work to resolve these design issues - also make more swimwear in colours which don’t look as though they have come out of Barbie’s dressing up box. A nice olive green, anyone?

Overall I do really like this. The colour is stunning and I love the style. I especially like the v neck and back. I really don't suit the costumes which have the exposed clasp and then a cut out underneath, but this style is v flattering. I'm too tall for Bravissimo swimming costumes sadly, so I'm really happy to have a tankini option.
There are a few issues! Like others have said, there are bust dart seams that stick out a bit. And there is a hidden crop top as well as a hidden bra which just seems too much. Thats 3 layers at the top and all that stitching together seems to pull on the outer fabric making it look a little missshapen.
Despite all that, it looks good on and is comfortable. so I'm keeping it!
So flattering5 out of 5 stars

I bought this tankini due to the wider straps. As a size 18 I don't feel confident in swimwear, but the wider straps and v neck shape balance me out and it is so flattering.

Overall this is a nice top, but there are weird darts in the boobs that stick out at an odd angle. The design team may want to look at this again.
