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 is beautiful and I had such high hopes, and until I managed to do the clasp up I thought I had finally found a new style that suited.
And then I did the top clasp up. If, like me, you have big boobs and defined traps as a result of weightlifting (or in fact any traps at all from gym going) avoid this like the plague. The straps defined my traps even more, making me look like the hulk :( So upset.

Review by Alison on
Ok, so I had such high hopes for this bra. Everyone said they loved it. But now I am confused. I ordered my current usual size, 30GG. It does look good. The lace is adorable and it is perfect for open back tops or racer back tops. But after wearing it for about an hour maybe two, I noticed I had to pull on the wires in the center. It was like they shifted down, out of the pocket of the seam and got super tight all of a sudden. It was super painful when I tried to sit back and lounge. I had to take it off. Since I have already worn it out, I am washing and will try it again (maybe the wires in mine were defective and slightly bent?) but they dont look to be so. It rides too low for the tightness in the center as well. But hiking it up, I have to tighten the band or it slides down. Tightening the straps hurts my trapeezes muscles terribly! It seems there is no win for this bra yet. It has long cups and theres an inch of space below my breast to the wire for each cup. And no, the cups aren't too big, as any smaller and I would fall out the sides. I do actually fall out the middle without much movement required, so readjusting is constant. I have never found a plunge bra that kept my breasts contained for long, however. They always require extra tightening of the straps, which ends up hurting my shoulders. Huge disappointment, and waste of money. I will however attempt to have it altered to at least be wearable. We'll see. I dont have much hope.

I can only second all the reviews below. This bra is really great, soft as a kitten and very comfortable, and the plunge is both really deep and amazingly supportive. It took me a while to figure out the top clasp though ;) I'd definitely buy it in other colours!
Love it! More colours now please!5 out of 5 stars

Review by Jenny on
I love this bra. I saw it and knew I had to have it. It is the sort of bra I see in high street shops and wish I could have but can't being a large size. But thanks to Bravissimo I have a gorgeous yet comfy bra. I wear a lot of plunges as I prefer the shape and this one is the comfiest I have. I was unsure of how I would find it with the clip high up the back as I avoid items like halternecks as my boobs are just too heavy. But with this bra I find the weight is distributed making it so comfy and incredibly supportive. The cups fit perfectly with no escaping and are lovely and soft. I can't recommend this highly enough and I just hope it is made in many more colours as I'll have them all!

Review by Lauren on
The style is great to look at and the cups are soft. Other than that there are no pros to this bra. I got fitted to this bra in-store and was persuaded to buy it (against better judgement). The first time I wore this I realised how much of a waste of money this bra was. The minute I try to bend over in this bra my breasts fall out of the plunge style, out in-between the two cups. This means it is not at all comfortable and also the underwire hurts by the end of the day. Would not recommend but if you do buy make sure it actually fits and you are not just convinced by your fitter.

OMG! Bravissimo you’ve done it again. This is such a great bra, the fit it amazing, shapes my boobs well and gives a great plunge. The back hooks (4) are a bit scary, so takes a minute to do them all up and the top hook is a little finicky to do up, but you get used to it. Please more colours!!

Review by Inanna on
Maybe it's my size but I could not wear it at all.
The size: I have some bras in 34JJ. But because of some weight loss the cups have a little too much space. So I decided to get a smaller cup, but this bra's cups seems larger on the side than my 34JJ bras.
The cups-fit:
They are padded in shape. I'd say quite large as if one wears an armor. But my problem with the bra was, that left and right from the cups my breasts had space, but at the same time they were pushed in the middle, so that it looked like the bra was to small. Overall it did not look nice.
The back:
In the picture it looked soooo cute and I was really excited to try it on.
First of all it was quite complicated to close the neckline part, but I guess that's just practice.
My main problem was that my neckline hurt while wearing it. Moving my arms or my upper body resulted in the collapse of the straps. They never stayed in place and that was just for the try on.....
Overall sadly the worst bra I've worn in a long time.
