Advantages: Great service and quality, a wide range of lovely bras

Disadvantages: Can be a little expensive

I am so glad that I have discovered Bravissimo, as for years I had been wearing the wrong size bra. I thought that I was a 38E, but found that I should really be wearing a size 36GG after being fitted at my local Bravissimo shop. I was aware that they did bras in large cup sizes by mail order, some years earlier, but was not keen to buy bras this way, as I would probably had to return them if they didn't fit.
I was advised to go to Bravissimo for nursing bras when expecting my daughter, and returned later to get fitted again for underwired bras, which I had never felt comfortable wearing before, due to them being completely the wrong size. I was fitted in a number of bras, reducing the cup size until I was comfortable in a 36GG. I was pleased to be smaller in the back, as I had been advised in another shop that I needed a 40/42F, which was far too loose. Bravissimo do not measure, and go by how the bra looks and feels. A correctly fitting bra should not ride up at the back and the underwiring needs to sit under the breasts and against the ribcage. When wearing the right bra, you can look as though you have lost weight, as the breasts are lifted up and supported, rather than sagging.
I now have some bras that fit well and are comfortable, and intend to purchase some more in the future. Bravissimo also do swimwear and clothing, that is specially designed for women with large breasts. The cupsizes go up to a K and back sizes start at a 28, and the clothing is made with extra room in the chest area, to accomodate a large chest without pulling and gaping. The bras, swimwear and clothing are not that cheap, but they are very good quality and are available in many gorgeous styles, something that was impossible to find not so long ago, if you had a large chest. Previously, bras in large cup sizes were always really frumpy and matronly, with ugly thick straps, making the wearer feel like Hattie Jacques. By contrast, the bras from Bravissimo, are really pretty, and many have matching knickers and thongs. There is also a range of bridal lingerie, strapless bras, maternity and nursing bras. The staff at Bravissimo are really experienced and very helpful, and offer great advice on which bra to choose. The service really is excellent.

Summary: A wonderful shop, and much appreciated and needed by many women
