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.

Hi there. Again I can only reflect what others have said previously. I've been buying tango 11 balconette for years. I call to the shop off Oxford to be fitted. I have bought online many times. Now usually I get a friend to call to shop to buy as I live in Ireland rural and not available here. The wire sticks out. The mesh at back is not strong enough. The quality has dis improved. In the last 3 I bought the underwire has come through. Also the plushy straps are not comfortable at all. Very very disappointed as it was my life saviour.

I have several Tango bras, since it is a fit I've always found perfect for me.
Having been to Edimburgh late last year, I decided to avoid shipping costs (I live in Portugal) and buy a new one in the Bravissimo store. About half a year later, it has teared, in two places, in one of the cups! Honestly this had never happenned to me with any other bra. And I always wash them by hand with mild detergent...
I do not know what has happended, but this was a terrible purchase.
What confounds me the most is that I have a Tango black bra that I have purchased in Portugal months before this one, and it is in perfect wearable conditions...
Is the manufacturer using different materials? What a shame... It was 'the' perfect bra...

I have had this bra in nude and white for years now and was just about to re-buy the nude colour. However the reviews made me stop and rethink, as last year I bought the cobalt blue set and was not comfortable in it at all. The fabric irritated my skin. The fit and support seemed off and the back fabric scratchy and uncomfortable. My boobs did not sit the way they usually do in this style. I put it down to maybe I was over warm or puffy as I bought it for my Florida wardrobe and it stayed there when I came back to the UK. I thought I was imagining the change in quality but now I see that I did not. Looking for a different style now.

I have bought many tango bras, in various colours over the years, but recently, over the past 18 months I have noticed that the quality of the bra has gone down hill.
The elasticity of the bra back last for about a month, then the bra is unwearable. It's such a shame because this is my favourite bra, but to buy another one would seem like a waste of money.

Review by Louise O on
Like other reviewers on here I have worn tango bras for ages. Only bra that properly fits. The quality of the product has deteriorated though. Straps cannot be properly adjusted and wires poke through after about a month. Nearly speared my 2 yr old when he jumped on me. Doesn't support and fit the same way either. Every time I go into bravissimo I religiously try on different brands only to go back to this one. Such a shame that the bravissimo own brand is such an odd fit and comes up really small.

Review by Kathryn on
I have been buying this bra for years. Being a big boobed lady doesn't mean I like only white black and nude, but this style always has such great colours and I loved it. I always felt very supported and could rely on this bra without fail. Over the last 12 months or so this bra has changed. The quality is not as good, the material is not as supportive and it's just not the same. I find it so difficult to find the right fitting bra. I could always rely on the tango, but this is not the case any more and I am so disappointed.

Review by Joshua T on
I have bought this bra for years and always found it very supportive and comfortable. My latest order is very disappointing. The straps tighten the other way and slide down very easily - within 30mins of putting it on! The side support is non existent as the boning has been removed from the new design. It all feels far more flimsy and poorer quality for the same money.
