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 have this bra in several colours and it is ideal. Tried on a few nude styles but this one best suited my needs in support and style.

Review by Liz on
Well I thought it was just me and the straps but having read the other reviews I realise it's not just me...
I have bought this bra for years from the internet and the shop and been fitted, but the last one I bought just slips off my shoulders all the time. Yes I do adjust the straps but they just continually slip off. I have another new one in the cupboard waiting to be used so will be interested to see what this one is like. It is a real shame as it was just so wonderful to wear a bra that fitted with support and looked good.

Review by SUE on
I have loved and worn this style for years and enjoyed all the vast range of colours that normally only "small" girls have the option of.
However, recently quality has been in decline and last week yet another one had the wire poke through. Once this happens it never goes back or fits the same.
So I looked to buy a new one and read all the recent reviews. It looks like things have only gotten worse so I have been forced to move on to another brand & style.
If Panache ever regain their quality I will be back like a shot as these are the most comfortable, supportive, feminine and colourful bras I have every had in my 44 years of wearing a bra.
Hopefully all our comments will influence Panache to restore the fit & quality - thanks goodness Bravissimo is here to offer us alternatives.

I got fitted in the Glasgow store and the panache tango fitted perfectly. After a few careful washes the band has stretched and now I have very little support... its unwearable as no matter how much I lift and scoop to get the right position it still leaves a 1-2" gap under books. Used to ensure my daily go to bra now very disappointed.
not the way it used to be...2 out of 5 stars

Review by Esther on
I've been a happy bravissimo customer for almost 15 years now and keep ordering online since I Iive in Germany now.
The Tango bra was "my" bra, perfect fit, support and quality and I always loved the new colours coming out. But unfortunaltely I have to agree with other customers that it is not what it used to be. The material has obviously changed and while it is not as hardwearing as it used to be, the Tango bra has also become an uncomfortable style for me to wear. The wires rub undder my arms and the mesh does not give enough support. Also, I don't like the padding on the straps and find them quite cumbersome to adjust. I wash the bras by hand as recommended but found that the cups become 'soft very very quickly and don't give the same support and shape as they used to. I would very much appreciate it if the "old" version came back. Until then I will not buy any more Tango bras. Any suggestions for a worthy substitute?

Review by Niamh on
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.
It just teared...2 out of 5 stars

Review by Maria on
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...
