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.
Not sure what size you are, or feeling uncomfortable in your current size? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! A whopping 92% of women change bra size after their first fitting with us, so you’re not alone! We promise we can find you the uplifting fit that you deserve.

I love this bra as it's uplifting, and well-fitting. I like that the underwire isn't too high in the armpit region. The side support is fantastic, and I'm on my third pair so far.

Review by Elizabeth on
This had been my favourite everyday bra and I wore the two nude ones I had bought a lot until the wire came out the middle of one of them. That seemed fair enough and I recycled it at your store. I then discovered I had a hardly worn white one that I had bought some time ago but hardly worn as it had got lost in my underwear drawer. I have only worn this one a couple of times and now the wire has come through. Very disappointing.
I logged on this evening to see if others had suffered similar issues and notice that a few other people have had similar experiences.
Is this a known problem as with the Alana a couple of years ago?
It has rather shaken my confidence in Bravissimo's bras.

I have three of these fabulous bras...in black and white.
I ventured in-store asking for a bra that would be good for all day usage. I work 12 hr shifts in a busy hospital where I am moving around a lot and in a hot environment. It never lets me down. It's comfortable, fits perfectly both round my back and in the cup and washes beautifully.
I have had to force myself to ask for something different when shopping or my bra draw will have identical contents! Fab bra!

Review by Trish on
I bought 2 of these bras in white and nude, after having them fitted in store. On fitting they felt ok; you know how it is with a new bra - feels new and different in the shop but you just assume it's you, and you'll get used to it. On wearing them though, I found that they were really quite uncomfortable. Very tight around the back (even though the size had been fitted by the lady in the shop) and across the top of the cup. The most disappointing thing, though, is the shape they make my boobs look. In the shop I thought I looked ok, but I was more interested in how it felt that fitted than looked, but I appear to have bought underwear that makes my boobs look both huge and saggy. So, like another reviewer, I've spent a chunk of money on something I can't return but don't want to wear.
In spite of this, I'm still an ardent fan of Bravissimo - so great to have a shop where the curves we have are celebrated and catered for - I'll just be a bit more careful with my next purchases

Review by Vicki on
Since I bought this bra I have hardly worn any other.
The support provided is fantastic, and it gives a very flattering shape.
The straps don't cut in and I am not dying to remove it the second I get home, unlike some other bras.
Only disappointment is the rather unexciting matching items, only a full brief in my colour. Also disappointed that the only fun colour is sold out, but if they bring another out I will be buying it.
Definitely a great buy for anyone

Review by Karima on
I tried this bra in store and at the time I was happy with the design and fit. I really wanted the Aspire Sports bra, but since that is not available I had to find an alternative. This bra is definitely not suitable for sports, I am still wearing my old worn out Aspire sports bras as they are still better than any others I have :-( After wearing the bra only 4-5 times & not even having got round to washing it, the wire poked out on the side. Very disappointing for 30 quid and less than a months wear! For bigger boobs, it does not provide enough support. The same design I have in another colour have wires that dig in & I have to stuff paper towels in between to be able to wear it. The straps are too narrow for heavier boobs that my shoulders are left with a dent in them. This is a very pretty bra and I love the purple, but no point if the quality is bad. Shame..

Review by Samantha on
I brought 2 of theses bras in all the colours.
The fit , support are excellent.
Only down point i have is on one of the bras the bone has already started to poke through. Not what you would expect for a fairly new and expensive bra.

Review by French M on
After struggling with several different bras bought OTC I went to Bravissimo in Liverpool where a really helpful assistant (who said she was a part-time music teacher) introduced me to this bra. I was a bit disappointed to find after loosing more than a stone in weight and finding all my clothes much looser that I was being offered a bra three cup sizes bigger (!) but it fits, is comfortable and actually I do look slimmer. I've just ordered another. I shall cut the size label off!
