I can't fill in the section on how this fits because the band was tight I couldn't even get it on. Come on Bravissimo, I know sports bras need to be firm but this is ridiculous

Plunge bra, lovely bright colours and soft fabric but as usual with Bravissimo the cups are small so I have bad quad boob. Shame this doesn't come in a bigger size, I'd buy it if it did

Nice bra, it's just slight;y too big in the cup

The cup on this bra fits well but I find that the underwires are fairly short and tend to dig in under my arm. This has actually caused bruising if worn for a very long day.

When I first bought this, it fit great. Since that, I've gone up one cup size (or maybe half a size), and it stretched out too much. Also, the straps are slightly too short - I have them tightened to the maximum, and that's the first time it has happened to me.

The first Bravissimo pretty enough for me to buy it, it's definitely a beautiful bra and the cups are less wide than most Freya plunge, thus being more comfortable. I'm only disappointed it stretched quicker than said Freya.

However, I think Bravissimo has improved since this model - see my Poppy review!

Initially tried 2 sizes on this bra, 28FF and 28G, as Bradar suggesting I am between these 2 sizes, probably closer to 28FF than 28G. The 28G is a much better fit, however I still have one or two issues, I feel the cups are still not quite wide enough.

It would be wearable for short periods if there wasn't an alternative - however Bravissimo suggested I tried the 28GG, which is a much better fit on me.

Initially tried 2 sizes on this bra, 28FF and 28G, as Bradar suggesting I am between these 2 sizes, probably closer to 28FF than 28G, however quite simply the cups in the 28FF are too small for my boobs, I can't really get them into the cups. Not a good look for me....

Cups just a bit too small. Band nice, could be tighter. Doesnt' ride up. Cup cuts in just a bit at top. Otherwise, very nice, slightly pointy shape.

One of my Favorites. Perky , upfront shape. fabric on top cup slightly loose at apex, but otherwise perfect. Band loose enough to close on tightest hook, but not bad.

A little roomy. Band good, could go tighter if need be. Cups nice, a small wrinkle at tip and on side of cup. Nice up front, slightly pointy shape.

Love the shape of this one. Slightly pointy and perky, and very up front. Looks great under sweaters. Could go up a cup size. Doesn't lie flat, is a bit tight in the band when new, but not bad.

Comfortable, just a bit stretchy in the band. Nice shape, not too pointy, not too round. Wires are nice and narrow and don't dig in. Doesn't lie completely flat.

This bra was ok however it never really fitted properly in the cup as there was always a bit too much fabric around the top. I had this fitted in the store and so I know this was the correct size. I found that after a month the band had stretched quite a lot and no longer offered the support needed and after 2 months the wires started coming through and poking me in the sternum. This bra is pretty and feminine however I don't think it is particularly good value for money.

I initially thought the band fit better than the 28FF, but it's actually a bit loose and fits best on the second hook. I think next time I'll stick with the 28 and wear it with an extender.

In terms of comfort, it's ok when I put it on but the centre gore is pokes pretty badly by the end of the day. I think it will require a bit of breaking in before it will feel comfortable. The shape it gives is good, round but not too round.

This is the most recent bra I was fitted in at Bravissimo, so unsurprisingly it's a very good fit. This was my first try with a 32 band size - truth is I probably need a 33 but since that doesn't exist, a relatively generous 32 works well and allows for give.

This is a lovely bra for daytime, the cups give a good natural shape, the support is good and the lace is soft and not scratchy. Overall, this is one of the best fitting non-padded styles I own, and I'll be investing in some more colours soon.

This bra runs huge in the cups--I'd say 1-2 cup sizes larger than my Freya bras. The 30GG was way too large for me in the cups as well as band, so I'll be returning it.

The lace on the straps also had ragged edges/threads coming off, which I would not expect from a bra at this price.

I ordered a 28 since the last time I ordered a Bravissimo bra (the Alana), the 28 was fine on me. This time around 28 is quite tight on me so I'll be exchanging it for a 30F instead.

Other than that, the red colour is lovely and I feel quite uplifted in it. I'll be back to review the 30F.

Beautiful bra! Underwires are a bit too wide and high at the front but not super uncomfortable. Needs a few wears to get used to.

When I bought this I needed a cup up from my usual size.

I really really liked this bra. It is so rare to find an unpadded halfcup and even more so in that size! As of current Bravissimo makes the largest cup in halfcup bra - up to 38HH. Masquerade and Cleo only go up to 38H and at the time the Demi-Diva was introduced they only went up to 38G. So the Demi-Diva was really pioneering work. The bra also gave me a great rounded shape and I was really tempted to buy it. Unfortunately the wires were too narrow for me and dug painfully into the sides of my breasts. The cup width was 19.5 cms and ideally I need a cup width of 24 cms.

I initially bought this bra in 28F which didn't fit because the cups were too big. So I bought the 28E and surprise surprise the cups are too small!

To be specific, the tops of the cups cut into my breasts pretty deeply which is unfortunate because the bra itself is really pretty (you can see my other review here -> http://bratabase.com/browse/bravissimo/alana/28F/). I also noticed that the underwire wasn't quite flush against my breastbone.
