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 ordered this bra in the black, but unfortunately it must run small because I had a lot of cup spillage. It also gave me the dreaded torpedo boobs. Not a fan of this bra. However, it seemed to be made really well.

I've been going to Bravissimo for years and have tried several styles/brands but found this bra and absolutely love it. Ladies I'm sure you'll agree that as soon as you put a bra on you know instantly if you feel good, supported and comfortable. The Melrose does just this! I'm on my 6th or 7th bra and will continue to do so, this bra is like wearing your comfy slippers. If in doubt try Melrose out

I was very disappointed that the seam across the middle of the cup showed through every one of my shirts that I tried on. I had to return it even though the fit and support were great.

I have ordered at my own risk, because a replacement from Germany is priceless and I rely on the purchase of the statement of the ladies at the chat that the fit is the same as in the ironing tops. And behold: it is perfect! Everything where it belongs and nothing pinches. Looks beautiful and feels great. I will definitely order more of them in different colors! Thank you dear Bravissimo team for this brilliant bra for a great price!!

I really love this bra! It's comfortable, it's nice and the underwire are still where they belong - under the fabric! I can really recommend this to all my fellow big boobed sisters!

Review by Nosa on
I don’t know where to start from. Previously, I normally buy the tango bra but because of the iron poking out, I decided to buy from other departmental stores. But no matter how much I was willing to pay just to get a good bra, i still was not satisfied with the fitting of the bra. I decided to go the bravissimo store to see if I can get another brand (taking into consideration that the first time I went for fitting 2014, I was told that I can only get my size from the tango range). The lady that assisted me was so patient that it got to a stage where I had given up of even getting my correct size. But alas, she brought this and it was the perfect fit and it made my day. I can now proudly walk with my head held high because my confidence of being able to wear clothes without wondering about not wearing a good bra is out of this world. I apologise for the long story but the end result is that bravissimo is the place to be when you lack confidence about a good fitting bra
