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.

Loved the bra but the magnet is a bit tough and wear and tear from constant use means it's snapped a strap. Not fit for purpose as I've never had a bra strap snap and I've had three children breast fed on demand.

Worst nursing bra I own.
Ended up using it maybe a dozen times while I was nursing when my other, better, comfier nursing bras were in the wash. It was my last resort bra.
The magnets are impossible to open single handed, making nursing a saga. Even two handed it was tricky.
The clasps slide about on the straps, which end up on one side of the slider, making them sit at a wonky angle and dig into my shoulder or armpit chub painfully. So wearing it everyday isn’t an option either! But it cost nearly £50 quid, so I’ve ended up using plasters to tape up the clasps both securing and padding them so that I can at least get a bit of use out of it.
But even as an everyday bra, it gives horrible bra bulge. So I end up clasping it rather loosely… and that means the support is compromised… defeating the fundamental purpose of a bra.
All in all; there are better, prettier, easier bras out there that are also more flattering. This is just not one of them.

I loved the look and fit of this bra. However on the first day of usage one strap has pinged open at every opportunity by itself ( which really isn’t great when you’re out and about) yet when you want to open them they’re a pain to get open.
Please just make this bra with traditional nursing bra fastenings.

This bra fits me well but is not at all functional. I was so disappointed the first time I went out wearing this bra. I went to feed my baby and couldn't undo the magnet with one hand. I had a squirming, hungry baby who doesn't like to wait! Try as I might, I couldn't undo it. It was quite embarrassing being in public, unable to get my boob out to feed! After putting my now screaming baby down, I managed to use both hands to get the magnet apart. I was very relieved, until... I couldn't do it back up! At the end of the feed, when my boob was smaller, the lack of give in the fabric means it's very challenging to pull the bra up and get it anywhere near the magnet. Considering this bra goes up to sizes bigger than mine, they should have thought about the practicalities of feeding while wearing it. I couldn't for the life of me get the magnets to connect and again, had to put my baby down. I will only wear this bra in future if I'm popping out somewhere without my baby and won't need to feed!!!

I really desperately wanted to like this bra, it's so beautiful, but the magnets just do not work. I really struggle to get them apart when I *want* to, but at every other opportunity they come undone.
Any slight action that might make your boobs bounce and they come apart. Stepped off the curb too hard, went up stairs, sat down too quickly, etc etc…
Honestly though, it is a gorgeous-looking bra and I feel great wearing it, it is just no good as a nursing bra.

Great fit and flattering unlike most nursing bras but poor quality for the price - the wire broke through the material within a few weeks.
