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 wore the regular Millie bra before this nursing journey and got excited when the nursing version appeared.
This is my third time nursing, and it is extremly difficult to find a beautiful, nicely shaped (forward facing, gives round and separated forms) bra that is comfortable in my size.
The millie delivers all of that.
I only wish for 2 things: more colors (white or blush) and something like this in a t-shirt bra.

This bra has been so special for me that I don't think I've worn another bra in the five months since it arrived. It makes me feel so light and so much more like myself! The fit is very good for me! Maybe my breast tissue just extends farther around the sides than some others, but I find the width of the underwires perfect.
Great but doesn’t last3 out of 5 stars

Review by Darcy on
I went in store to be re-measured and bought this bra in December and gave birth in January so have been wearing it regularly for less than 3 months and both sides of the wire have broken out and dig into my armpit skin, we’ve all been there.
I had hoped due to the price it would last a bit longer but there are not many options for a K cup so will have to repurchase although know its durability is on the weaker side. A shame as a lovely bra and hasn’t ripped anywhere else.
Another colour please5 out of 5 stars

Comfortable and supportive. Previously wore 28E in Millie and now wearing 28GG for feeding. Not many 28 band options for nursing so really pleased this is recently available.
Would love to see this in another lighter colour. An extra set of hooks, similar to hot milk styles, could also improve this style but I prefer this over hot milk temptation for fit and design.

Review by Hazel on
I loved the Millie style pre baby and so pleased to see a nursing version. It’s my go to for days when I’m in the office now I’m back at work. Have been wearing it for 4-5 months now and love it!
Unlike other reviewers I don’t find the wires come too far round, in fact, part of the reason I love the style is that the wires don’t come as high up as other bras (eg most Hot Milk styles) - Millie is the only one that doesn’t dig in under my armpits. I’ve a short nape-waist length and am 5’5 overall so most other wired options I find the wires too tall. I don’t find the lace scratchy either.
My big plea is for this to come in ivory/nude as well as black so it can go under light coloured tops especially as we come into spring/summer.

Has taken a bit of breaking in but I think that means it'll hold its shape longer/better. Nice design, fits well under clothes. Haven't breastfed in it yet but clasps seem sturdy.
