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.

This bra gives no support and no shape.
I bought because I became allergic to the wires in my other bras.
This is a comfy at home bra under pyjamas.
I would not wear it elsewhere.

Have always worn underwired bras but as I get older I am finding them less comfortable. Bought this in Norwich shop in both black and pink - please make in white too!

Review by Amanda on
I bought a gorgeous new Bravissimo bra in February. Unfortunately, it stopped fitting during lockdown. My other (larger) underwires were really uncomfortable for home working. I never thought I would ever consider a non-wired bra. After much deliberation and re-reading the reviews, I finally took the plunge and bought the Cici non-wired bra in size 38FF - a size up from my previous bra. It fit beautifully and has great support! I admit the back is a bit bigger than I needed, but it's all so comfy. Sometimes it feels like I'm not wearing a bra at all, but supported by magic. No more heavy weight on my shoulders (and neck!). I really recommend this bra. Thank you Bravissimo!

Review by Holly on
I'm in the last month or so of pregnancy and have been struggling to find anything to fit. This wasn't a shape that I thought would necessarily work on me but actually it's pretty good. I usually prefer an upfront balconette style (back before pregnancy I was a big fan of the Cleo Marcie bra and Panache Jasmine). This bra is along the same lines, and gave me more uplift and less side spread than other non-wired bras. I increased the back size to 36 to give myself more space in the cup (as I'm a K not a J now). The back is a bit big but the J cup would have been too small. Wish this came in bigger cup sizes! It's a fuller cup, is the only thing I'd say against it, anything at all low cut will show this one...that said, so grateful to have found something that fits and supports!

Review by Marlene on
First bought this bra on line for delivery in the Leeds store. I'm usually 32FF in a wired bra, but went for a 32G, based on reviews to go for a larger cup. On visiting the store and trying 32G the cup size was too big and the hooks at the back were on the tightest, so I was advised to exchange it for a 30G. Susan, who helped me with the fitting was brilliant, as was the assistant at the till (sorry I didn't get her name). The size I needed was not in stock but my initial order was returned by her and the new order sorted for delivery home. I have received it today, and the bra fits great. The back is now on the last hooks, which will mean there is room for it to slacken (which was what Susan suggested). Covid procedures had been put in place and were strictly followed by staff and customers. All a very positive experience - thank you. The bra is so comfy, but offers great support. I've now ordered the same in black.

Review by Eowyn on
After a bit of a mishap with an underwire, which worked its way free and caused me a bit of pain and a rash, I have been searching for a suitable alternative. I’ve tried many wire-free bras since, and spent a lot of money in my quest, but none can compare to this one. Ok, the shaping isn’t as neat and pretty as when you’re wearing a wired bra, and there is a little bit more bounce too, but I find that once I am clothed I feel confident and supported. I ordered both the black and pink, and will definitely buy more colours if they become available.
Started well then disappointing!2 out of 5 stars

Review by Julie on
I love the look of this bra and it feels really soft. It was great on day one for a few hours but by the end of the day it was uncomfortable. The straps are too flimsy and couldn’t cope with the weight of my F cup boobs. I was sorry that I had removed the tags and used a gift voucher to buy. Wider straps would have been a good idea , especially as there are no wires to give support.

Review by Denise on
...once I found the right size. Usually 34G or 32GG but 34 was on the tightest hook and 32 was too big in the cup. I have settled on 32G and love it. Have always worn wired for over 40 years but they have started to dig in, so I'm saying goodbye. This bra is so soft and comfortable keeping the separation. My one request would be a slightly wider strap.
