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.

Despite buying the bra in the store and liking the fit and support, not even a month later the bra snapped while I was at work.
I then ordered another bra on online and day one of trying it on, the bow broke off. I thought bravissimo's bra were good quality but I see I was mistaken.

From the picture, I imagined this would be a cute, young bra that was appropriate to go between work and evening. However, I've found that the cups are quite full coverage and not really what I consider a balconette at all. The underband is very thick and seems to roll a bit on my sides if I twist. That being said, it fits pretty well in the cups and does not dig into my armpits. For the price, it feels fairly high quality.

One of the very first bras I ever bought from Bravissimo and I'm still buying this one today. Great fit, great support, would love to have a t-shirt smooth version as the pattern does show slightly through clingy fabric.
If you go to Bravissimo for a first time, start here! It would also be lovely if this design did a bit more in the sides of the bra so you were pushed forward, but it's still one of the most comfortable and best fitting I've had. Also wears very well, and looks pretty.

Tried this bra in store as I have previously purchased this bra some years ago. Very comfortable to wear and even made me look smaller!! So pleased that I ordered 2 more in different colours. Pretty pattern but not enough to show through a t-shirt. It's very supportive and thanks to Fiona for all her help and advice.

I have this bra in several different colours. It gives great support and is very comfy. Did need to try several sizes to find the correct fit but I am lucky enough to have a store near me. Wash well and I confess I pop them in the machine although advice is not to!!! Great quality and good price. Great to get in different colours rather than the usual black and white.........more colours please!
I have also purchased the matching briefs although a little expensive again very comfy and great to have matching sets.

Stunning bra, bought a cup size up after reading the reviews and not sure if I really needed to, pity they don't do half-cups! But ordering from NZ, I'd probably stick with the cupsize I bought, because sending it back if my usual size didn't fit would would be way too much of a bother. The cup coverage is a little more than I expected, definitely way more coverage than any other balconette bra I've ever owned, but still works well. Lovely round shape, great hold, perky too! The straps are comfy, but aren't able to be shortened very much (which I could do with being able to do given I went a cupsize up). This bra is incredibly comfortable. I'd definitely buy again.

Having spent years trying to find the perfect bra... I have in Tango and I am not about to change any time soon!
If feels soft and light to put on, looks delicate when you are wearing it but gives the most amazing support all around - even for a JJ like me.
The staple colours are great for day to day wear and the range of colours they keep bringing out keeps your wardrobe fresh
I love it

Love this bra . I have been buying this bra for the past 12 years , i find this bra very comfy and very very supportive . I just wish panache would make a shorts style of knickers more for the fuller waste line . :)
