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.

The quality of fabric and stitching look good, and I love that it's made from recycled fabric. It would be an excellent bathing suit for someone with a different shape, but my chest is on the wide side and I found the front of the bathing suit to be a bit narrow. This was especially problematic as I moved my arms around and over my head. I also didn't love the way the seams were sewn to a point right at the nipple, although it does lend shape which some wearers might really like. I returned it. I do want to say, though, that this would probably be a great suit for some bodies!

Review by Ansha C on
I have been looking for incredibly long for a swimsuit in my size I could wear for training.
Having a bigger bust 38F (for the norm) and being a tall woman, I really struggle finding a one piece that actually looks like it was made for my body, especially one that I think looks nice as well. I’m happy to say that this one actually does. The cut in the top/back is beautiful, and the black tone is great. Sadly some details on the suit make it that it probably won’t be my go-to.
A lot of the reviews already mention that the body suit fits a lot of people way too big, with a lot of extra fabric in the middle part. I thought this wouldn’t be an issue for me since, being on the taller side with some hips, I often need to order “long fit” so it’s big enough for me. Wrong. This is just too loose for me. The thin, breathable material of speedos usually works because the fit is snug. Having extra fabric on this swimsuit makes the material feel cheap and unsupportive.
Now for the bust fit. The cups are true to size, however, they are not really what I was looking for in a sports swimsuit. The bust sits higher, and feels more like a balconette would than a sports bra. It’s not supportive enough and is definitely not aerodynamic, since the suit isn’t compressive at all in that area.
As a last detail, the bottom coverage is very full and not very flattering.
So, I will be wearing this suit on occasion but will still keep an eye out for a better fit.

My normal bra size is 32GG but having spoken to one of your lovely ladies I ordered a 30H which fits really well with a snugger fit over the hips which were too roomy in 32GG suits I’d had previously. Feel secure and it looks neat on.

The only swimsuit I could find with a high neckline which I need to hide a scar. Although slightly tight at the moment I think it will ease with wear. It fits fine on the body just slightly tight across bust

When I read the information details I was so optimistic but when swim suite arrived I was disappointed by the feel of fabric and the underwiring. Returned sad to say.
