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.

I bought one in the size i wear for Fantasie and I couldn't even do it up! Couldn't even tell if the cup size was right. Buy at least one size bigger.

Review by Stacey I on
I've never worn a non wired bra before but thought it would be nice to have one to relax around the house in without getting jabbed by wires. I had to send the first one back as my usual size was way too small in the cups, but the customer service team were brilliant in working with me to find the right size and I ended up keeping a version 2 cup sizes bigger than my wired bras.
I am surprised at how supportive the bra is, especially as I am a GG in this bra! The only downsides are that the straps do dig in a little bit, as I'm guessing this is where some of the support comes from, but you soon get used to it. And the cups are a slightly odd cone-ish shape when worn, but I also have this issue with my sports bras and it's not the end of the world.
Overall, I'd recommend but would suggest considering a larger cup size than you usually go for. I found the back size to be true to size.

Review by Christina on
I sent for this bra in a 34 H and it was a perfect fit in the cup, so comfortable and a pretty good shape for a non-wired bra.
However the back was too loose even in the tightest setting so I returned it for a 32 HH as often this is the advice Bravissimo staff would recommend.
The cup this time was way too small and didn't fit nearly as well as the 34, and giving east/west boobs!
So unfortunately had to return this one as well.
I can't see that any other size would solve this problem, I take it this Royce is not for me which is a pity given the initial try on.
Hooray for a non-wired bra with straps that don't slip!4 out of 5 stars

Review by Hilary M on
This bra is good to look at, comfortable and a lot cheaper than many! The straps don't slip at all, and I'm not getting the pain in my shoulders from wearing a bra with straps that need tightening. I have arthritis and this has recently become a big problem.
By the end of the day, the underband has worked its way up to sit rather sweatily right under my breasts, but I can cope with that.
I'll be returning this bra1 out of 5 stars

Seams on inside of cups are bulky and left lines my skin even for the few minutes I had it on. Fabric feels cheap and makes my skin feel itchy.
