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'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.

Review by Lesley on
I was advised to go for a Melrose bra by the Bravissimo team in Leicester as I asked for a bra that I could dance in. Not a sports bra, but something that would hold my JJ boobs firm while I 'let it go' on the dance floor. I was not disappointed with this lovely bra. It is really really comfortable. The secret ingredient of the Melrose it seems, are the extra side panels. They really work in helping the fit, comfort, and style of the bra. It gives a great shape and real support - even when dancing!

Review by Louise B on
I now have 7 melrose bras in 32H and wear this style the majority of the time. It is so different to traditional full cup bras (which make my breasts look huge), due to the fabulous side sling inserts (which give a more upfront shape) making both me and my breasts appear more slimline ;-)! I find the melrose full cups are a size smaller (I wear 32H) than a traditional full cup bra (I only need a 32 GG). I find this bra very supportive and I am a huge fan of the nude colour which is almost invisible under pale clothes. I think it's a very pretty, feminine bra and I am delighted with the style overall.

Have purchased this style of bra for over 2 years now. It's the best fitting bra I've ever tried as well as being a good price.

Love this bra. I take quite a large bra size, and I find the Melrose bras are best for me in terms of support and comfort! Wish they did some prettier colours more regularly though!!

I originally bought the Melrose bra after a store fitting 12 months ago. I have all 3 colours and wear it everyday. It gives a great shape and is very comfy. Would love it in other colours please.
