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.

Tankini Top
I have not had a chance to actually go swimming in this top, and it may be some time before I do, but I am sure it will be OK, thank you.

I decided to keep this tankini even though the back strap is impossible to do up by yourself as so tight but still had good fit left undone.
I would love a swimsuit for my bra size (40K) that can be done up without the help of someone else as not always practical.
Perhaps there is a reason why the band and clasp can not have some kind of stretch within it to aid with this.

Quite difficult to get on but looks pretty good once on and fully adjusted . Needed help to get it off and the underwires are a problem when taking it off so would be a problem if I was alone .

Review by Yvonne G on
The suit fits thoroughly, and well and have enough coverage that my sole beach focus is not just how to keep my chest in my suit.
I love your swim suits as they fir like a glove and you forget you even have it on.
They do tend to run a bit small in the cup and overall at times, as this is not my first Bravissimo suit. I wear different sizes for different bra companies so it is always trial and error.
Lastly, thank you for making an underwire swimsuit, that has unlined cups in a mind boggling amount of sizes. Very sick of illfitting foam cups.

Good fit but thought the material was loose around the stomach area.Bought quite a few tankinis from bravissimo but the material on this was much thinner and not much support.

Review by Julie S on
This was almost A-line. I have a very similar one in turquoise and green from a few years ago - and I love it, so I was quite excited when this came out. Sadly not for me, I am quite 'apple shaped' and it was still swinging at the waist, so I wouldn't have felt confident swimming in it
