Bravissimo Bra Sizes & Fitting
Retailer and own-label in one: the UK's D+ specialist, with expert in-store fitting and sizes to L.
Bravissimo in numbers
Bravissimo sells only D-cup and above: its own label alongside Panache, Freya, Fantasie, Curvy Kate and others, and its fitters are among the most consistent in the UK. Own-label bras follow standard UK grading; the shop's method is snug-measure by eye and fit, not tape.
Your measured size in Bravissimo
How this is computed: your US size converted into UK notation, then adjusted for how Bravissimo typically grades: true bands, true cups.
Where Bravissimo sits on the size grid
Cups D–L (own label); D+ across stocked brands. Not every band–cup combination exists; the largest cups usually appear on mid-range bands only.

Does Bravissimo run small or big?
Bravissimo bands run true to size across UK bands 28–40: start with your measured band on the loosest hook, and expect it to feel snug for the first week if you are coming from an add-inches size.
Bravissimo cups grade true to the measured difference from D to L: a gap or overflow in the measured letter is a shape signal, so change the cut before the size.
Bravissimo wires are average width for the UK system. Straps: Standard.
