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.

The best bra ever! And they’ve discontinued it!! I’m totally gutted. If you ring them up, they will log your request, so PLEASE PLEASE RING UP AND ASK FOR THEM TO BRING IT BACK. THANKS.
I now wear it as my daily bra, as it’s totally supportive, a lovely natural shape, really comfortable. It’s taken all the weight off my back and helps my posture. Nothing has ever compared to this. Looking at all the other reviews, everyone else feels the same, and is begging for it to be restocked.
Please bring it back and in more colours!5 out of 5 stars

This is one of the best and most comfortable bras I’ve ever had. They got me through lockdown (I’m not someone who can get away without a bra on during the day!) and I’ve regularly rebought them since. Im in desperate need of a couple new ones now because I’ve worn my others to death but they’ve been unavailable in my size for ages. The Bravissiomo Apollo has some. Ice colours but it looks like it comes up too high for my liking (the Inspire is just right to wear under normal tops). Please, please, please bring back stock for the Inspire bra!

Review by Alison on
Best bra ever to support big boobs and completely avoid shoulder and neck ache. The back doesn't ride up and there's no itchy trimming. This bra avoids monoboob AND reduces the "tits akimbo" effect that most wired bras produce with large cup sizes (where boobs are pushed outwards so much that you almost need three seats when travelling by tube - yes, there is such a thing as womanspreading!). When I can get it, I wear this all day, not just for sports, etc.
Please bring it back again. And in lots of colours: white, flesh and black please.
On sizing, it's a bit tight on the back but I like that.

I bought this sports bra to give me comfortable support, and OMG…I now have stopped wearing normal bras and only wear this. It’s so supportive, but natural looking, and it’s transformed my posture and back strain. I bought a 2nd one soon after, for when it’s in the wash. I’ve been writing in asking for it to be in white or nude, but somehow missed this happening this year, and now it’s sold out!! AAAGH!
Please bring it out in NUDE too, so that I can wear it under lighter summer clothes.
My eyes will be peeled. I see lots of people are asking for it in white too.

I bought this bra hoping for some
relief. Wow, I am not disappointed at all. I ride horses, so as you can imagine it's a little bumpy😂 needed something to keep the girls happy.
So comfortable, very supportive and overall a great sports bra.
Have ordered another one as I am so happy.

I’ve had a lot of sports bras over the years sometimes having to wear 2 at a time due to high impact sport like hockey but so glad I found this one which I’ve been buying for a few years now and wear all the time under T-shirts and jumpers as it’s so comfortable. I’ve lost 2 stone since having my second child and love this bra for running and the gym… would really like to get it in white again please and would love more colour options!

I’ve worn the same size band in Bravissimo bras since I had my kids over nine years ago. But this one is nowhere NEAR to fastening. When fastened off the body it looks absolutely tiny, like it would fit a child, and that’s in my size of a 40L for goodness sake! Who knows what it looks like in a 32 band?!
I get sports bras need extra support and that often comes from the band but I would say you need to purchase at least one size bigger than you actually are in the band, otherwise you’ll give yourself a hernia trying to fasten it and even if you do manage to get it closed, you’ll be so deprived of oxygen, you won’t be able to do any sports!!!
