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.

Oh my gosh, walked into the Manchester store and saw it on the rack, could not believe they had it in my size 34H!!! I wear a lot of off the shoulder tops so it's so nice to have a pretty lace detail at the back to not feel uncomfortable showing off. Fits amazingly, I don't fall out the front when bending, it gives me a great shape and is modern. I've bought both colours.

This bra is absolutely perfect.
My boobs get uplifted and get a rounded shape, exactly as I like it. Although the bra rolls up a little in the back sometimes, but that's not bothering me.
I've worn it everyday since I got it a week ago, it's so comfortable. My new favorite bra!

Review by Charlotte on
I tried this on not expecting much due to the weird clip near the neck but it it absolutely amazing. The bra is light and super soft and the clip near the neck is a little fiddly at first but you get used to it really quickly. It is incredibly light and is the most comfortable bra that I have ever worn. I absolutely love it.
Once I’d bought the black in a 36HH, the helpful shop assistant told me that the grey came up bigger so ordered the 36H to my house. She was right and it fits perfectly as well (and is also ridiculously comfy). I just really hope this is made a continuous bra with new seasonal colours like the Satine. Amazing!

Review by Fiona on
So disappointed with the sizing. I always go for freya deco and decided to try this as I loved the detailing. Came up small in the cup...weirdly the reviews all said it ran large but not in my case.
Have ordered the next cup up so fingers crossed it looks as expected. The detailing was great and I did the back clip and over my head!

Review by Veera on
I was surprised positively when I received this bra. I'm used to for so many bras to not fit me correctly even if they have my size. And especially a bra this pretty.
The bra fits well and is really comfortable and super soft. I though it would be kind of itchy like many other bras like this. I hope it won't strecth too much in use.
Sexy, but a couple of caveats4 out of 5 stars

Review by Rachel on
First, I will say that overall, this bra is sexy and quite comfortable, and the fabric is lovely and soft.
I do want to draw attention to a couple of details though.
First - the cups have multiple seams/stitching all over them, which I hadn't realized from the photo on the website (I now see it, but had to zoom way in and turn the brightness up on my screen). This means you can't wear this bra under thin materials in the summer, which is disappointing. I was expecting a smooth cup. (To be honest, it's not a design choice I ever understand - does anyone ever want seams all over the cups of their bra?)
Second - as a few other reviewers have mentioned, the cups can best be described as... tall? I have large, fairly round, dense breasts, and filling out a cup is never a problem for me, but these have a fair amount of extra material at the top that gapes out a bit. As you move around, it wrinkles in a way that isn't super flattering. The underwires also feel like they sit really far back. Also, as someone with a fairly significant size difference between each breast, these "tall" cups really accentuate the difference in size. I'm very tall, especially in my torso, but if you were shorter I could also see this being really uncomfortable under your armpits.
Third - This is more of a "sit around and look pretty" bra than an everyday activity bra. Although it provides a nice uplifting shape and is supportive in that regard, it definitely doesn't hold you in place when you're moving around and there's serious jiggle. I'm not necessarily expecting better support than that in a plunge bra, so it's fine - but just make sure you know that's what you're getting.
The short version: This is a sexy, soft bra and I will be keeping it - but I would love to see improvements in the cup shape (shorter cups, better underwires, and no seams!) on future versions.
Does not have same fit as Niya2 out of 5 stars

Review by Heather on
I ordered this bra because it was originally described as being based on the Niya bra, which I have and fits me quite well, though not perfectly. However, while the cups on Alexa have the same depth as Niya, they are almost an inch taller at the strap, meaning the cups gape at the top and cut into my armpit. Such as pity as it looks gorgeous from the back but totally wrong from the front. I see you've since removed all mention of Niya from the description, probably because it was misleading. But why did you have to tamper with the fit of the cups in the first place? Judging by the good reviews, it was just fine the way it was.

Review by Nina on
I love this bra. As others have said the fit is great - my boobs don't require constant re-arranging (a common problem for me with plunge bras) and it is so comfy. Please, please, please Bravissimo make this in more colours! Initially I also had some problems doing up the catch at the neck. Got it down now though.This is my new favourite bra! Matching knickers are lovely too! Thank you Bravissimo!
