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.

This bra looks nice, and gives enough support, although you don’t get a great shape - squashed is the way I would describe it.
But, sadly, it’s so so very uncomfortable. It’s actually painful on the shoulders, cutting into my skin and flesh with great red welts.
I’m 5’9” and there’s no adjustment on the shoulder straps, so maybe if you’re shorter than me it’s worth trying.
Unfortunately...3 out of 5 stars

... far from perfect for me. The plus side is how it looks (I really like the style, lacy but edgy, and it is fairly sexy for a bralette) and the fact that the non-adjustable straps are ok for me lengthwise (doesn't happen often if you're short-waisted!). Cons: while I didn't have any probs with the straps, the longline band rides up/folds over on itself all the time, and at the end of the day it becomes really uncomfortable (and it hasn't got better with use). Also, the sizing is off - I was advised on the live chat to take a 28FF-G for my standard 30E-F and it fits boobwise, if even a bit small in that area (!), but I find the band quite loose and that creates a problem with the 4 hook band: ideally I'd need the bottom two hooks tighter than the top two. I tried doing it up that way, but it's not quite comfortable in the long run. Finally, it gives my chest a kind of flattened plain effect, especially from the side - not the most important if you're just at home, but also not exactly self-esteem boosting. The quest continues.
more colours please4 out of 5 stars

I have four of these bras and they are my daily favourite while working from home. Yes, the straps dig in at the shoulders and can be painful by the end of the day, but the support provided without wire is great for day to day living. Please can we have more colours, ie nudes/brights and some matching high waisted briefs!
Very pretty3 out of 5 stars

Review by Karina K on
Looks great and very comfy apart from the straps being SO short! Cant't regulate them either, thought maybe they'd stretch a bit after wearing it a couple of times but no luck and can't wear it anymore as it gives me a back ache :(
Wish I'd sent it back

Review by Rs on
It's great to get non-underwired bras that are pretty in design. This non-underwire bra is lovely but unfortunately not for women who have bigger boobs.
The straps can't be adjusted and because there are no real cups to separate your boobs they end up squishing together (which is very uncomfortable). It's great to throw on if you're sitting at home but not for wearing out and about because there is no real support.
Not a great success2 out of 5 stars

Review by Cam on
Not really a good all-day option for me, at least. It's fine to begin with, fits well and looks OK, too, then begins to roll up, dig in, and also spill over slightly as the day goes on... Disappointing.
So comfortable!4 out of 5 stars

Review by Diana on
It makes the "girls" look amazing and it's so comfortable I forgot I was wearing it! The only slight issue is that the seam on the top of straps digs in after a while and left a red mark but I still want to get it in every colour.
A surprising success!5 out of 5 stars

I’ve tried so many wire free bralettes, and they are always a disappointment. This one was a fantastic surprise.
Comfy, support and so cute I’d wear in something where it shows it off a little.
I’ve been searching for something with support for all the lounge time during Covid, but without the underwire. I got it in white too.
Love it! Please make it in every color. I’ll be trying the Flora one too.
THANK YOU BRAVISSIMO.
