Bravissimo bras finally arrived...

Sooo my new bras finally arrived:) Yay! But I had to pay customs on them :( Ughhh. But anyway, I had high expectations on those bras since they all got a lot of positive reviews.

Bravissimo Alana in 30K : Let’s say I’m impressed. This bra is really supportive! Great uplift and support. No jiggling at all! My breasts feel like concrete ;D
But there is no perfect bra and also the Alana has it’s downs: those straps are too seperated! They cut into my arms:( Also I have to say it really runs small. I would recommend to go up 1-2 cup sizes from your usual size!

Bravissimo Boudoir Beau 30JJ: Once again, good support, uplift and fantastic shape! I like it!

Bravissimo Broderie 32JJ: Cups too big! :( they had only 32s left and I read that most of Bravissimos balconette are modelled after the Alana, so I thought I had to go up 2 cupsizes from my usual size as well.
If anyone is interested in buying this from me, message me! I wont send it back because its not worth it, because I keep everything else.
Or I’m thinking about using this as a sleeping bra. The material is very soft and it feels really comfy.

Shock Absorber Sports Top 34H: this I had ordered because I desperately needed a sports bra and it was on sale ;) It worked out better than I thought! The band runs very tight so I can get a away with a 34 band.

  • Could you compare alana and beau? Shape, lift, size, upper par of the cup? Alana doesnt cut in?

  • I'll add measurements and pictures tomorrow. A lot of reviews on bravissimos site were complaining about pointy shape, but I found both bras made quite a good shape, round but natural. More coverage than Cleo Bras and not a "BrasIhate-fit".
    The upper part of the cups runs very thight on the Alana, so sizing up is nessessary! It has also fully adjustable straps.
    (too bad, Beau and Broderie haven't :( )
    So my theory about these bras is:
    Take your Cleo or Panache Size (mine 30J)
    Boudoir Beau Size (go 1 cup size up from your cleo size = 30JJ)
    Alana (go two cup sizes up = 30K)
    I also saw this pattern on other users that reported both Alana and Beau as fitting.
