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 is my ideal reliable everyday bra. I have two; one black and one white. It is comfortable, gives a good shape and good coverage.

Really like the shape of this bra for everyday wear with higher necked tops. Prefer a plunge shape for evening but find this a great fit, great shape and comfortable to wear.

Initially I found this bra a little uncomfortable but after a couple of wears it became my go to bra. It's comfortable and not too clunky so looks good under all clothes and lifts and supports in the right places.

Love it. I have shopped with Bravissimo for many years online and in store. I bought the Melrose bra about a week ago. The fit is really flattering under tops and t-shirts, giving a nice natural, yet uplifted shape with the side sling insert for support. Wore it to work and was pleased with the support - all day at a desk and no backache! When I first saw it, I was a little put off that it was something my mother would wear, but the fabric quality is lovely and the lace is very feminine and youthful compared to others I've seen.

I have always been a Fantasie loyal customer but was fitted in your Norwich branch last year with this bra. I am converted. It's comfy, doesn't dig in under the armpits, I feel fully supported and it's a winner for me! Very slight different in sizing to Fantasie - normally I'd wear 40ff in Fantasie and in this bra I'm a 40g. Please don't stop making it!

This is my second Melrose bra. It is a very good fit, supportive and comfortable. However, the quality is not so great. Wires have come through in the front as well as on the side of the bra. When it came through the end of the wire did not seem to have any protective covering.

I've only recently discovered the Melrose bra and I really like it. Its comfortable and easy to wear and I also think its quite pretty with the lacy bit as well.

This is my go-to bra on a daily basis. It's so reassuring to know I can put on my Bravissimo bra in the morning and face the day with confidence! This bra works under pretty much any clothing and is comfortable, supportive and gives a great shape, even for us larger women! I would not hesitate to recommend it as an everyday bra. I have it in black and nude and think I'll get it in white as well - my only quibble being that I'd love some different colours for the summer. Thanks again, Bravissimo!
