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 had so much material around the middle that I had to check again that i hadn’t ordered maternity! I’d taken the labels off, but couldn’t wear it at all. Gutted!

The cup was too big at the top edge – no problem, I'd have tried a size or two down. But the tankini was so long – it came down to the top of my thighs. There was so much extra fabric around the front in particular, which didn't work with the ruching option. Not at all flattering. A pity, because it felt comfy and good quality.

Wanted a new tankini set for my holidays, had numerous sets from bravissimo over the years and liked the look of this one! Good fit but far to long , I had to make adjustments I slotted elastic through the bottom seam but considering after holidays will take it to get some cut off and sewn at a alteration shop

Ordered this so I would have it for a specific date but despite being told at point of ordering that it would be delivered 5-7 working days it took almost 3 weeks and too late for what I needed it for. Also the cup and band size fitted me perfectly but the rest of the material hung on me like a dress there was so much of it, just because I have a larger bust does not mean the rest of me needs extra fabric. The cup and band fit were true to size but not the rest of it.

Bought this in bath, I like the softness and full briefs, I haven’t given more stars yet because I haven’t gone swimming in it, I like the length of the top, and style, you can adjust the length to your desired look.

I really wanted to like this as I have a tankini top very similar. Unfortunately it was way too big and even with the side ties pulled up it was far too long for me.

Review by Stacey on
I read the comments about it being long but it seemed like the best option for me given the look of some other tankinis which seemed to show too much cleavage. I'm 5'1" and it fits like a mini dress. I was disappointed at first because even when I pulled the strings all the way it was still long. I also had to adjust the bra straps almost all the way up to their shortest. Eventually I just said let me treat it as a swim dress. I LOVE the swim shorts and the bust size of the top is excellent. I ordered my usual bra size. It was very comfortable. The skirt didn't fit well though but I think I should have gone up a size.
So overall, great comfortable fit in bust area but too long in body. I wish they had a Petite range in swimwear like they do in regular clothes.
