Fitting Advice
Look and feel fantastic!
Discovering your true bra size can be life changing. This might sound a bit over the top, but it is easy to underestimate how much your figure, the way your clothes look and the way you feel about yourself can be transformed by the right bra. It goes without saying that this is even more important for us Bravissimo girls – after all, we've got more to make the most of than the rest!
There's a lot of mythology out there when it comes to the subject of bra fitting. Most of us are led to believe that we must go and visit a lady in her twilight years (remember Mrs Slocombe from Are You Being Served?!) who will come at us with a measuring tape and tell us off for not wearing the right size. At Bravissimo, we don't use tape measures because we don't believe that they work. Instead, we prefer to show you what a good fitting bra looks and feels like, so you will be able to tell in a matter of seconds whether you've got a good fit.
A helpful comparison
We think it's useful to compare buying a bra with buying a pair of shoes. Just as our feet vary in terms of size and shape, our boobs differ in terms of volume, shape and spacing. You might know your shoe size but it is very unlikely that you would buy a pair of shoes without trying them on first. The same goes for bras – one style of bra may be perfect for one woman and totally wrong for another, even though they are the same size. Added to this, bras tend to vary in size according to manufacturer and style, so you really need to try every bra on before you decide to keep it.
Our boobs change for all sorts of reasons over our lives (age, weight variations, pregnancy, and use of the contraceptive pill) and you may not be the same size for longer than a few months, let alone a lifetime! So, if you want to look and feel as good as you deserve to, you should look at your bras regularly and use our three step check to ensure you've got the perfect fit.
