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.

Absolutely love this bra! Great fit, provides a good shape.. And like that the straps aren't quite as thick as other bras. In combination with the lace, it feels prettier and slightly daintier, with a vey comfortable fit.

Review by Sarah on
Having lost 3 stone in the last 6 months I decided to go for a fitting in the Cheltenham store. For some time the only choice I really had of bras was the Alana that never sat flat to my breast bone and thus the wires would pop out frequently. I was pleasantly surprised when I was given the Envy bra to try (as I had gone down a back size and a cup size). As the cups are elasticated they fit really well and for the first time in years I have a bra that is not only comfortable but sits flat to my breast bone and gives me an amazing shape. My only issue is the price; for an everyday bra the extra cost (compared to Alana) adds up. However, my confidence has grown a lot and I am now happy to wear strappy tops as even though the straps are padded in my size they are not too wide. Have now purchased this bra in every colour!

Great fit, I struggle to find bras that fit well and provide a good shape so this was a good purchase. Unfortunately, I do find the underwear digs into my armpits a lot which is uncomfortable and at times, very painful.
Fabulous but PLEASE widen the shoulder straps4 out of 5 stars

This is a fabulous bra for the larger bust, one of the best in my opinion but the shoulder straps let it down as they are not strong enough to support. Please make the straps slightly wider for the larger bust sizes.....

I've been wearing the Bravissimo Alana bra for some time but am now getting four boobs in my usual size. Julie in Chester advised I try a larger cup size but it was too big. She then brought me a selection of bra's and I found that this one fits perfectly. Very pretty, particularly as nude bras are sometimes a bit grim. Will buy another when my email comes through as I now have 10 points....woohoo :)

Loved the fit of this bra so much I bought it in every colour!! Its nice to have fun coloured bras but when you need your everyday essential black/white/nude this ticks all the boxes for me.
-Full cup bra, but not too full that I can't wear a low cut top.
-Straps that aren't too thick so still looks nice under a strappy top
-Holds them where they need to be!
-and always an added bonus; looks quite sexy!
I hoped...5 out of 5 stars

Review by Martha on
that this one would be a favorite. But sadly, balconette styles don't work for me. However, the fit and support of this bra is incredible if you wear the correct size, I really would enjoy wearing this bra if the gore didn't come up so high on me. (To be clear, I am quite short, 5'1"/153cm.) I feel the cups might have fit better if I had gone down a cup size, my breasts are fuller on the bottom, and they're mismatched, so they didn't fill the cup as well as I expected they would.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great bra, just not for me!

Having avoided Panache bras for several years since using the Tango and finding it dug into my armpits to the extent that it produced sores, I decided to give this one a go on the advice of Bravissimo - I wanted a change! Although this is a pretty bra, gives good support and a nice rounded shape, I find it still digs in under the armpits when I lean forward, as though the underwires come too far back. I've come to the conclusion I'm not a Panache fit. But I kept it because I really like it - and I am not bent forward all that often during the day!
