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.

I was a bit sceptical about the Alexa bra; normally plunge bras don't work very well for me as my boobs are quite close together and I end up falling out of them... Not so with Alexa! After wearing it all day I still had amazing cleavage but absolutely nothing falling out, its amazingly comfortable and gives fabulous shape under my clothes. I took other people's advice and didn't even attempt to do up the clasp from behind, just did it up and popped it over my head - easy peasy! I didn't even have any discomfort from the racerback style - as it almost works like a halterneck I thought I would get neck ache but no! All in all a fantastic everyday bra but with the added bonus of a "wow" cleavage when you want it! Pleeeease make this in some summery colours!

I bought this bra a few weeks after falling in love with the lace back detail and seeing that it was based on the cups of the Niya style; it is wonderful! Soft, comfortable and stylish I never want to take it off. The support and security of this style is incredible - I’ve even worn it for pole fitness and felt confident my boobs would stay put! Please make this in as many colours as possible, I’d love to buy all of them!

I bought this bra a few days ago at the Edinburgh store and have been wearing it non-stop ever since. I love everything about it! Due to the lace straps it feels like wearing no bra at all - I often feel like the rings for adjusting normal straps dig into my shoulder blades, especially while travelling. This is not an issue at all with the Alexa.
On top of the comfort, it also makes my boobs look absolutely gorgeous. Even after a long day there is no need to readjust. The Alexa gives great cleavage but also a nice rounded shape with higher necklines.
I was fitted as a 32F in January but have since gone back on the pill and put on some weight due to that, especially around the boobs. I tried the 32FF just to be safe and it fit perfectly. Will definitely buy this bra in more colours if they become available!

Finally a racerback bra that WORKS! The fabric is comfy, the band is supportive, and the connector at the back doesn't pull so hard it gives me headaches. Probably going to buy more of these!
In love with how this bra makes me feel!5 out of 5 stars

Ordering from the US, I'm always a bit nervous about how a bra is going to fit, since I am unable to try it on in a store... I can't even begin to express how relieved I was when putting this lovely bra on for the first time!! It fit perfectly! The lift is incredible, and being more of a racerback-style than my typical style, it relieved the uncomfortable pressure on my shoulders! I would love to have this bra in more colors.

I’ve had this bra for quite a while now and all I have to say is wow. It’s the comfiest bra I have ever owned, having a bigger bust is challenging and trying to find a bra that’s comfortable and looks good under clothing is even worse, this bra is super soft, super comfortable and I would recommend to anyone.
