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.

Helen at the Chester branch is a credit to the store. She was friendly, enthusiastic and very helpful. She clearly enjoys her job, has a depth of knowledge and patience. She made the experience fantastic for my mammy and me.
Weeks on and those two bras are still form fitting, comfortable and gorgeous. First time I've committed to hand washing my bras and am so glad I heeded Helens advice. They're still as good as new.
If you're looking for great bras, bravissimo Chester with Helen, as your experienced fitter, you can't go wrong.
We'll be back in the end of this month for more purchases.

Oh dear- lovely looking bra but not as good as Alana- I’m an Alana lady but looking for colour! Ordered this to wear under a wedding outfit- the cups seem to be two sizes and needed some juggling- the metal clip to make racer back is at my neck and not comfortable. The lace on the vest section seemed to tuck under- not comfortable. I purchased brief- large- I’m a 14/16- they are terrible not stretchy- just hard and the waist band digs in - no give- really really upset with this set- bring me Alana in colour!

Fitting at my local store was revelationary - I am a completely different size to what I thought. This bra shape including the J clip that takes pressure off shoulders significantly improves comfort.

This bra is beautiful, the embroidery detail is stunning the fabric doesn't have any stretch in it so it feels really supportive and gives a lovely shape. It is true to size and very comfortable to wear. Very pleased with my purchase.
Love this!5 out of 5 stars

I absolutely love this bra! It’s so pretty and gives me a great shape. I did have to size down in cup size from my usually 32ff to 32f. I agree with others about the difficulty with the racer back clip. You definitely need a friend to help!
