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.

Bought a little large as a ‘house bra’. Gives a good shape and is supremely comfortable. A little high at the front but under winter tops I’ll struggle to find a better bra.

Usually happy with wired bras but bought this because needed a sleep bra.
Same size as daytime bras but a little snugger fit. Straps maybe a bit short. Otherwise quite happy with purchase.

It is very comfortable because it does not have underwire but, at the same time, it lifts and supports perfectly.

Review by heather on
I would say I am that person with the half-size problems. Think, my perfect shoe size is 5-1/2 yet it is difficult to find so I end up buying either a 5 which could be a bit small or 6 a bit too big.
Same as a bra cup size.
I always believed I was around 36 or 38 C or D. I have a full bust.
I tried for a long time to replace existing bras. Gone to M&S who came up with only 2 styles to choose from although the fit wasn't perfect. Gave up with Debenhams, John Lewis & House of Fraser. None will measure these days so it was from looking & none of their bras were suitable. Either the cup slightly small so I spilled out, or slightly big so space at the top. THINK half size!! I don't understand why ALL cups don't offer this before a D which is DD?
Out of desperation I thought I'd try Bravissimo since I know they specialise in full bust sizes. Having tried on a few, the Charlotte fitted as perfect as I could want. I like the netting above the cups which give a fuller cup look so I don't fall out, & find the straps very comfortable. Doing up is a bit tight but being a bit overweight doesn't help as well as the bra rolling a bit under the bust but that is why. I also like how the side is cut & isn't near my arm pit as I am aware of pulling down when they are.
Avoided underwired as I fear if not in a perfect position the wire will either dig into my armpit, or the side of the breast which could be dangerous.
I was surprised I ended up with 38E but as it is comfortable, I would consider buying another, if it is reduced from £28 which is more than I would usually pay, but it is comfortable & I would recommend.

Lovely bra but I find the straps and edges of the bras a little rough I would prefer a softer fabric but kept the bras as other than that the fit was good.
