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.

Review by Colette on
I love this bra, which I bought in my usual Bravissimo size. It's incredibly comfortable and also supportive. I wore it for a day out shopping and barely knew I had it on, apart from the occasional peek of lace, which is a nice detail. I found the top clasp fiddly so I just leave it done up and put the bra on over my head. All in all, a great purchase.

Review by Maja on
I think it looks amazing if you have a smaller torso, smaller band and/or cute ideal flat back with absolutely no back fat or any rolls god forbid. But if you have a bigger back and torso it looks awful. The lace in the back doesn't stay in place and rolls apart on me and its nothing like in the picture-its like you have a huge gap in the middle and lace come closer to my armpits. Going back.

Review by Lizan K on
This is the most unique and prettiest bra I've owned. Definitely getting another one, I can't imagine being without it. I originally went to get fitted and buy a multiway bra, when this caught my eye. Some of the skin on my shoulders was damaged and discoloured from some ill-fitting bras (because of size change) and I wanted something to rotate strap styles for some shoulder relief. This was perfect. The skin has since recovered and I alternate this with regular strap styles.
It's very pretty, very soft and very comfortable, one of the most comfortable bras I own. The padding is non-bulky and smoothing. The fit is great and it shapes well too. My mum can tell whenever I'm wearing it because she says it looks so good!
When it comes to support, it's no sports bra, but it supports reasonably well. There's some movement in the middle with vigorous movement because it's cut so low, but that's to be expected as that area isn't covered. For normal movement, it's fine. That's the only reason I gave 4* on fit and support (which should be separate categories, fit is 5*).
The reason I gave 4* is the clasp at the neck. I don't know why for the life of me I have trouble doing it up when I never have problems with any fastenings around the back, be it zips, hooks, clasps, knots or anything else - I can do all of those with ease.
It's easy when it's in front of me, but not behind my neck because of poor hook design. There are two holes at the top of the larger part of the clasp, one which has no function and the other which the other side of the clasp goes in to. Once you get the right hole, it's hard to keep straight and when it goes wonky, you can't get the hook all the way in. I suggest a mini bikini clasp to improve it. I ordered some and sewed them in, makes fastening a lot easier. If there was a tiny update on this aspect (nothing else, it's otherwise perfect), it would be an easy 5*.

This bra is so soft and comfortable! I found it dug in a little under my arms after wearing it all day but after one wash it softened up a little and is now perfect! The back is so pretty - it’s lovely to be able to wear a low backed top and still wear a supportive bra! Definitely one of my favourites!

Review by Jayme on
This is my favorite bra. Hands down, the most comfortable and flattering bra I own. The combination of style and soft comfort while still providing amazing lift is unmatched. My ONLY dislike about this bra are the seam lines on the cups. They are visible under teeshirts and other fabrics. The lines are less visible when worn under a print or more bulky fabric. I would LOVE this bra in more colours.
Great bra, but...4 out of 5 stars

Review by Kristina on
What I LOVE about this bra:
- It‘s a plunge! I so often see nice styles here at Bravissimo but am always disappointed as they are mostly balconettes which is a cut that NEVER works for me. So I’m so very happy that this one is a plunge!
- The side panels/hooks and eyes section! They are quite wide and the four hooks are a bit of work, but they work so great in distributing the weight/pull that the back part of the bra leaves a very smooth/nearly invisible line under clothing, even if you have rather soft tissue.
- The straps! They’re not only very pretty, but also distribute the weight and take it away from the usual "strap position" on the outer part of the shoulders, which is great for a change. Also you don’t need to readjust them during the day as they can‘t slide off your shoulders.
But... there are a few downsides:
- the underwires are digging into my sternum
- the clasp on the straps is a bit fiddly (but you get used to it)
- the underwires do not sit in the crease below my boobs, but about an inch lower. A smaller cup size however is not an option as then the underwires would be too narrow and the cups too shallow for me.
Still, I kept this bra as I really longed for something new in my lingerie drawer and really like the style of this bra and the shape it creates.
