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.

Ill fitting suit. The internal wired cups offer no support because they have no connection to straps. White lining is bulky and peeps out.

Review by Michelle A on
I am only 5'1" and this swimsuit was a no go. I am a little short through the torso (and therefore longer through the legs) and this swimsuit was just too long for my torso. Disappointing but sometimes that's just the way it goes!
Love this and great coverage5 out of 5 stars

Review by Nita D on
I have started swimming a couple of times a week and needed a new cossie. I used to use the Panache Athletic Sports Swimsuit 7340, which is still excellent, but now need a higher neckline and unpadded/unmoulded. My search has led me to two swimsuits. I found the Panache Limitless Balconette Swimsuit and this Bravissimo Performance Sports Swimsuit. The sizing is exactly my bra size. The Bravissimo suit has 2 clasps, make sure you undo both the back clasp and the neck clasp, to get on with a wriggle over the hips. The zip is useful, it also helps to have it undone when putting the suit on. It is a snug fit for sure and cut high on the leg, however the bottom coverage improves and is adjustable once the suit is wet. I love it.

Review by Val T on
The lining folds down as you put the costume on and the cups also fold over so you need to be a contortionist to put it on! (I realised once on that it actually has two fasteners) The bottom part was very flattering once on except for the very high cut legs. I considered restitching the gusset but decided I’d go back to black with my old faithful Speedo Iris which fits perfectly (wish they did it in a different colour)
Has a habit of riding up, but overall i love it4 out of 5 stars

Review by Samantha K on
So close to being perfect but it does have a habit of.... Riding up.. So to speak. And i do have to pull it out frequently. Its not that its too short, its just the gusset at the back is a little too narrow apparently 😅 I did have to size down. Ordinarily im a 32Hh but had to go down to a H. not an issue, otheriwse absolutely great
