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.

So comfy, excellent for feeding, sturdy clips and just so easy to use. Also semi sexy when it’s all things baby post partum! A nice boost to make you feel good.

Some people have seemed unhappy with this bra, but it is extremely comfortable and easy to nurse in, from my experience. After 4 months of using soft bras, this real bra is exactly what I need for support. The style is not 100% to my taste, however that doesn't affect comfort or function. Very happy

I would NOT recommend this bra. Very restricted, uncomfortable and fitting comes up too small. I specifically bought a 38G know that I will need a bigger cup when I start producing milk. Really regretting my decision as I don’t think I have ever known such discomfort when it comes to bras.

This bra is fairly comfortable to wear, although the material can feel really harsh on my nipples at times.
The fit/sizing is good, but it gives a very pointy shape. (Think PS1 Lara Croft.)
The clips are very easy to use and are in a sensible place.

Review by Ashley C on
I have been very happy with the regular Charlotte bra, so I was thrilled that there was a nursing version. The bra is fine, but the clips are nearly impossible to reattach one-handed after nursing. They are situated very high and the elastic connecting the strap to the lower part of the bra is too long/loose, making it incredibly difficult to bring the two parts of the clip together without using both hands -- obviously not practical while holding your baby! Also, the clips squeak with movement -- such as walking.

Review by Jerri on
I went from 34HH to 38L during pregnancy and while nursing. I purchased this after being fitted to another bra at 38JJ which was too small. This bra is very comfortable. However I don’t like the style or look. It’s something my Gran would wear.
But I can’t fault the comfortability and the ease while nursing. Just wish it looked nicer.
