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 didn’t suit my boobs at all. I think the support would have been good though.

Purchased after an instore fitting. Only given 4 stars because after a full day wearing it, it was slightly uncomfortable on my front ribs but hopefully it will improve with wearing.

The Hettie looks so fragile, but it’s such an effective bra. Plenty of support and feels good on too.

After a virtual fitting and advice I found this bra to be a fab fit. I tried several styles and was unsure but got some more advice and reassurance that it was really ok to try several until I was completely happy. The bras came very quickly and the confirmations of refunds was very prompt. Brilliant bras and brilliant service.

This bra fits me perfectly and I bought another immediately after the first. It is firm, supportive and looks good under my clothes.
The only requirement I would make is that it comes in black!

After taking advice from a customer advisor I decided to try the Hettie bra - it is a great fit and holds everything in place, especially when the back straps are hooked together. A new favourite for me, so looking forward to more colour options.

Review by Shirley on
I bought this bra as I wanted a nude bra for everyday. The colour is ok and the fabric is ok. I usually take a 34F but having tried several different bras on in the shop, this seemed to be the only one that fitted and I ended up having a 34GG. I took it home, but because it is an every day bra I wore it all day and the wires really dig into my ribs and it is really uncomfortable. I washed it thinking it would get softer but the band is very tight and the wires really dig in still. It is the first bravissimo bra I have been disappointed with. I will have to persevere I suppose.

Review by Kerry on
I went to the Nottingham store, had a fitting with Grace H who was amazing. I would never have chosen this style of bra but Grace selected it as one to try for sizing, as soon as it was on, I knew I had to have it! It’s the most comfortable fitting bra I’ve ever had. Would love it in other colours. Definitely worth every penny
