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.

Really wanted to love this, finally a stylish swimsuit but it’s so long in the body it was actually baggy, the cups give no support at all so everything is hanging on the ties and really don’t know how these would hold up on water.
Disappointed.. close to being good2 out of 5 stars

The ties are very long and there’s nowhere to fasten them unless it’s in a big bow or knot as a halter neck.
The very cheap black plastic fastening at the back is not sturdy, the material moves on it and it slides to one side. The fastening would have been better being wider, with full coverage at the back to make it more wearable as a top (it has an unflattering gap below the fastener).
A shame as it looks quite chic from the front and would definitely be wearable in the evening as a top. As a swimsuit I think it’d be too hot for sunbathing with all the material round you.

Review by Antigone on
I really wanted to love this - it looked so stylish on the model and I loved the apparent versatility of it. However, I should have been warned by the lack of a well-lit photo showing both the back view and a front standing view.
The ties are very long and quite bulky so it's hard to style this in a way that doesn't need a bulky knot or bow to secure. The suit itself comes up big, and the cups are just not supportive until you arrange the ties, and even then it's a bit hit and miss. The worst bit was that I couldn't actually put this on by myself. I needed my OH to do the back clasp up and to help with the ties. I spent probably an hour trying different ways to style it and really only a halter neck style gave my girls the support they need.
This one is going back, sadly and my hunt for a stylish, supportive one-piece continues.

This swimsuit is amazing! I wear a 36H but like to wear a 40 in a swimsuit. It’s so flattering and I love that you can style it in so many ways. Makes it feel like 4 different swimsuits!

Review by Jane on
This swimsuit looks quite glam. So if you want a swimsuit to pose in by the pool this will be ideal. The scarf ties are not as silky as they look and are very long . I think it would be quite warm on.However its not for me so I had to return it.

Review by Gemma on
Love love love this swimsuit, it is so flattering and looks great with the straps tied anyway you can tie them.
I’m 5’10 a size 18 and a 36J and this just fits so well. Covers your bum and whilst before the straps are tied the support isn’t great, once they’re tied those girls aren’t going anywhere, even when tied as a bandeau swimsuit!!
It looks a bit posher than a normal swimsuit too. Best swim suit I’ve ever bought!!
