Bravissimo clothing

Many of us will have had the experience of being one size in one shop and a different size in another shop, this can be frustrating as it makes it difficult for us to know what size we actually are and means we always have to try things on. It seems there is no standard to high street sizing and that sizing is more of a rough guide than a set measurement.

Sizing can also depend on the type of garment. Most women won’t be exactly the same size on their bottom half as they are on their top half, which can make it especially difficult when trying to buy swimwear that is sold in co-ordinating sizes. Bigger boobed ladies also get a poor deal when it comes to buying shirts, tops and dresses. If you’ve ever had to buy a bigger size (or two) just to accommodate your ample bosom, then you know exactly what we’re talking about. It can be frustrating and somewhat disheartening having to buy a size 14 shirt, when it’s your boobs that are a size 14 and your body that is a size 10. But fear not ladies, here at Bravissimo we understand that women come in all different gorgeous shapes and sizes and so buying bigger sizes just to fit your boobs is now a thing of the past! We have a whole range of beautiful summer clothing in sizes 8 – 18, plus Bravissimo sizes of curvy, really curvy and super curvy dependent on your cup size. This way you get the perfect fit all round and don’t have to compromise on style.

Here’s a quick guide to Bravissimo sizing;
D – E cup: your normal size and ‘curvy’
F – G cup: your normal size and ‘really curvy’
GG+ cup: your normal size and ‘super curvy’

If you’re fed up with shirts not buttoning up and regularly have to go up a dress size just to get something to fit over your boobs then check out our clothing range. We give extra room in the bust area in all of our styles, helping you to find the perfect fit and with every thing from day time tops to all out evening glamour we have something for every occasion! Bravissimo sizes are based on standard high street sizes (8-18) and then your “curvy” size.  So if your normal high street size was a size 12 (this applies to waist and hips and excludes boobs) and you wear a F cup bra we’d recommend going for a size 12 really curvy.

Did you know that by wearing the right size bra, your boobs are placed where they should be, your waist is defined and this can result in dropping a whole dress size?

So many women are wearing the wrong size bra, by wearing the wrong size your boobs are not properly supported and this can be very uncomfortable and involve lots of hoiking up of the straps and readjusting throughout the day. Also, if the back size of your bra is too big, your boobs can fall much lower than they should be, this can cause problems when trying to find the right clothing size.

At Bravissimo, we don’t use tape measures as we acknowledge the fact that boobs come in all different shapes, sizes and that the volume of the boobs can also vary greatly. Our bra fitters have the experience to know a good fit and how to tell if you’re wearing the wrong size. Our bra fitting appointments are one on one, that way you get our full attention and we help you to find your correct size. And remember, the girls have been there before themselves, so there’s no need to feel nervous. We also understand that some of us can feel a little embarrassed about the size of our boobs, but there’s nothing more uplifting than a properly fitting, comfortable bra that you can wear all day, the size is just a number.
