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.

What a great pick! Beats the bounce and running is so much more fun if you don't have to sort the girls back into place every few miles. As a 28J it's slim pickings in sports bras. This was available in 28J in boring colors so I also ordered the Inspire in fun animal print at a size up but compared this is a better fit in my size. It's just so unfortunate that awesome sports bras have to be so expensive. Will watch it if it goes on sale... betcha I'll order another one when I can afford it in a more appealing color! HA!

Review by Iwona on
Throughout years, I have been looking for a solid sports bra for a long time. I have found Panache Wired Bra in a lingerie store in Galway, Ireland by chance - I liked the built-up design and I thought - this is going to stop my breasts from moving while cycling! It turned out a jackpot. That was almost a decade ago and I haven't worn any other bra ever since. It keeps in shape for months, sometimes I have to change it only after a year, while any other bra, even sports bra, just stretches after 2-3 months and is useless. For me, it's a Godsent comfort.

Review by Emily B on
I purchased this bra in my normal back size and a cup size down as advised and I still have a bit of room in the cup. This could be due to recent weight loss though - not so much an ill fit. This bra is absolutely brilliant for keeping the gals in place! My favourite thing about the bra is the straps. They are so soft and provide great comfort. I have not experienced any rubbing or discomfort at all.
Will absolutely be buying another one in the future 👍🏼

I have just started the couch to 5k challenge and as a non sporty person I had never before had a sports bra - and I'm 50! This is very supportive, there's none of that reverberating jiggle and wobble. I feel secure when trying to run and not unduly self conscious. I have no complaints and I have worn it on two runs. I am pleased to have found such a well fitting sports bra.
