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 most stylish and comfortable bra I’ve ever bought. The neck clasp is easily overcome by doing it up first and putting it on over your head before doing up the back strap. The clasp should not put you off buying this brilliant bra. More colours please!

This bra is very comfortable, really helps my posture and gives me a great plunge while keeping the girls really secure.
I'm probably normally a 32H but needed the 32HH in this style, but otherwise the fit is excellent.
The top fastening is a bit of a faff at first and it took me a while to get used to the four hooks on the main strap, but now I'm sorted. I tend to do the top strap up first then put it on over my head, which is really easy.
It's very comfortable for all day wear and has great shape for confidence on a night out.
Would love more colours (nude? something pastel?)

This is my all time favourite bra, I'd love this in a top as well. It's supportive, so comfortable, I'm petite and there's no digging in the armpits or high between the breasts.
Just need more colours!
So good I bought another one!5 out of 5 stars

I’ve been looking for a racerback bra for a while. Reading the reviews for this one it seemed that though the catch is difficult the bra is worth the trouble. I struggled for 30 minutes to do it up and haven’t dared undo it since! Having said this I really love this bra. It looks lovely on and is so comfortable, eases the weight on my shoulders. Also no straps showing round the armholes just the pretty halter top. As it’s expensive I had to think twice about buying the other colour but couldn’t resist it in the end.
Lovely bra but not for me.3 out of 5 stars

This is such a stylish bra. Super soft material and really pretty. Unfortunately it put too much pressure onto my neck and I'm going to have to return it.
Gorgeous sexy bra - and finally worked out how to put it on!!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Kay on
I love this bra - I saw it in the catalogue and made a beeline for the store and tried it on. Admittedly a little fiddly but thought I can practise at home. I bought it and came home and tried my hardest to get this done up. The clasp is awful - so hard to do up around your neck; then tried doing it up and putting arms through then attempting to do up 4 hooks from behind - no way!! I was so frustrated and almost about to return it; when I read a review that said do up the whole bra and put it on like you would a t-shirt. Ok nothing lost, so I tried it - and hey presto! It worked - thank you reviewer!! It is the most comfy, sexy and amazing plunge bra I've ever owned - I don't want take it off! However, Bravissimo, please listen to your reviewers - do something about the clasp and also can we have more colours please!!
Finally, bye bye bulky straps5 out of 5 stars

Thick bra straps under thin camisole tops look rubbish, right? An age old busty gal issue. I’m so sick of searching for thick strap vests to cover my bra straps so I wondered if this bra might answer all my prayers. And, praise be, it does. With this bra, the straps are directed away from the vest strap, towards the neck, and so it looks very pretty with a thinner strap cami/vest. The lace at the back is pretty & the hardware looks nice. The whole bra just looks waaaay nicer under clothes where the bra is inevitably going to be seen a little. Everything stays in the cups (unheard of with other styles I’ve tried) however it has “crumpled” I guess a little at the base of the cups... I’m sure with a little fiddling I can fix this, or maybe it’ll relax a little with wear. The clasp at the top is fine, honestly not a bother. I can do it just fine and I have trouble with pain in my shoulders unrelated to bra wear (also another good reason to buy this bra as it redirects any strain you might usually feel in your shoulders). Buy it. It’s good. Comfy. Pretty. True to size. I CAN WEAR DELICATE VESTS AGAIN! Off to buy it in pink now!
Absolutely adore this bra!4 out of 5 stars

Review by Alice on
At a 32H/HH I'd pretty much given up on being able to wear pretty bras, as well as strappy cami tops and dresses. I spotted this bra online and thought it was gorgeous, so tried it on in-store the next week and bought it! It's incredibly comfortable, with the outer cup material feeling like soft suede. The clasp back really helps 'pull' your cleavage together and give extra 'oomph', and the straps are angled towards your neck so that they hide well under halterneck tops and dresses too. It's a very booby bra, I thought I was in the wrong size until I was assured it was meant to have that much cleavage (whilst the cups still stay flat with no quad boob or bulging, yay!) My only problems are that it's difficult at first to get the knack for clasping it on your own, but after a couple of wears I figured it out. The same as another reviewer, this bra does tend to collapse in on itself a little in the bottom of the cup, but I solved this by tightening the straps more. Off to order it in pink right now!
