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.

I was a bit nervous that this wouldn’t fit my body (I’m a size 18) but it does and it’s such a supportive swimsuit. 100% recommend it

Review by Jenny on
My advice is read the reviews and do not buy unless you have a long torso. I'm usually 32JJ/34JJ depending on style. Because of reviews I tried 34JJ and 32J, 34JJ was far too big, 32J seemed good. I noticed that the 34JJ was about an inch longer, but trying on at home 32J seemed to fit well. Unfortunately, for swimming costumes the test is doing lengths. It comes up very high at the front and I could feel it hitting my throat, I also hadn't realised how high it sits under my arm and after my swimming session my under arm was rubbed raw. Sadly now worn I can't return so have wasted £65 on a swimming costume I can't wear.

Review by Veronica P on
This is the first swimsuit I've had since I was a child that fits me proportionally. And does it without making me feel uncomfortable or like I look bad. The cups are very full coverage in terms of size, but I really don't mind. I was scared it wouldn't fit the rest of my body without going see through, but it looks perfect all over.
They also weren't lying when they said it was quick dry, it would be soaking straight out of the pool but be mostly dry by the time I got it off (apart from the gusset but that's double layered so I understand).
Overall; really recommend

Review by JR P on
Having booked my first sun, sea and sand holiday, I looked high and low for a swim suit I would feel comfortable in.
Being a size 20/22 and large busted, I wanted my bust in the right place and a nice shape. This swimsuit was great. It gave my heavy bust the support I needed, kept them in the right place and gave me confidence to lie on a sunbed and walk around the pool etc. in public. It's a high priced item but I will get another one as I don't want to lose the opportunity to swim or be without a costume like this again.
I'd give 5 stars but due to the cost and it only coming in black. I would have liked a different colour to blend in more with everyone else and the cost to be more in line with other products on the market.

Review by Nomtha G on
Design was very comfy and secure for lane swimming and the top is interesting enough I’d want to give it a go as a body.
Sizing is very forgiving, so I could probably go down a size. If you’re between sizes, opt for the smaller.

Review by Karen M on
I bought this to try open water swimming, I wore it under clothes for a couple of hours travelling and then whilst sitting training before getting in the water, it was so comfortable I didn’t feel as if I had anything on! Might be tricky to do up the back clasp yourself if you have shoulder mobility issues but I managed fine. I went down a size to get the right fit bras 40FF costume 38FF
