...fitting bra! '''What started Bravissimo and what is it?''' If you go onto www.bravissimo.com you can learn all about them. To start with it would be good to read the 'our philosophy' section. It starts by saying: "Bravissimo is a company that provides a wide choice of lingerie and swimwear in D-K cup, as well as clothing designed especially for big boobed women so that they can celebrate their curves and feel good about themselves!" It tells you ...
...company. '''What advice do Bravissimo give?''' They give you step by step instructions on how to properly fit yourself, where you should be measuring from, and the do's and don'ts of adjusting bras.

Review of Bravissimo

...my experience not of how Bravissimo came about. Still from what I do know Bravissimo was originally a catalogue shop which branched out into a few shops, and now I’m sure every major city has one (Nottingham does anyway, and that’s the most major cities come!! In my opinion anyway), it has also worked it’s way onto this amazing resource called the Internet, www.bravissimo.com. So what do I think about the shop then? Well obviously as I only know ...
...what has my experience of Bravissimo been? Fittings ********** Many women go around wearing the wrong sized bra and this does nothing for them, it can be uncomfortable, look strange and just won’t do anything to flatter you. This is why all women ought to go for a fitting!! Bravissimo have a different way of fitting to the likes of M&S who get out measuring tapes and do a load of maths in their head, instead your fitter will ask you what size ...

Review of Bravissimo

...a blow for all us Bravissimo girls!’ Now I don’t know how many of you larger breasted ladies out there struggle to buy a decent bra on the high street but if you want anything up to a 36D, you are laughing, loads of pretty and practical bras out there – anything bigger and you have the choice of the oh so attractive heavy duty bra that 9 times out of 10 it isn’t in stock and ok its practical but sexily its on a par with Bridget Jones’s big scary ...
...you need is www.bravissimo.com. Bravissimo was set up in 1995, by a lady who had had enough of being a laughing stock every time she went to by a Bra, why shouldn’t big boobed ladies be able to go into a shop and say ‘which bra would I like, rather than this is the only one that fits’. As such the company specialises in making us larger breasted ladies feel good about ourselves. The company has gone from operating out of the sitting room to having ...

Review of Bravissimo

...through this again!! Bravissimo to the rescue Well, I decided I was not going to put them through this again and off home I went and put into my internet, Bravissimo - seen the lovely girls on the TV with larger-than-life 'boozzies' .... all lacy and the like. Wonder upon wonder.... not only was there lots of delightfully feminine numbers (bras etc) but there's a lot of information on how to size yourself. A really pleasant experience going through ...
...been that size before!) Bravissimo aims to please the larger boobed woman with lingerie, swimwear,nightwear and clothing and the postal delivery site is really really well presented with its internet site and my delivery was extremely efficient. The underwear comes in bright colours, florals and patterns or plain pastel colours. Should add here my sister is in New Zealand and works in a bra shop so she and I spent that day emailing on the subject ...

Review of Bravissimo

...larger bust shall we say, Bravissimo was simply a god-send. I noticed a small ad in Cosmo magazine a few years ago for it, saying that it was for ladies of D cup and above (it goes up to H cup) and I decided to ring for a catalogue and see what it was like. I was prepared to be disappointed, as I usually am. Most places seem to assume that if you have a large cup, you have a large back, but that's just simply not the case all the time. If this isn't ...
...between £23 - £25. Bravissimo has a shopping outlet in London, near Ealing Broadway and it also has a website aswell as a catalogue. I haven't been to the shop itself, but I haven't had the need to. The catalogue is well laid out and indexed, and the website is easy to navigate. They include good advice tips on fitting and ordering, and the hotline always has someone friendly and helpful on the other end. I haven't bought a bra anywhere else in ...

Review of Bravissimo

...well look no further! Bravissimo started up several years ago in the founders living room and has now expanded to mammoth proportions (excuse the pun!) They produce a glossy brochure at least 4 times a year full of beautiful bras that were once only available to those with flat chests. They have worked hard along with their growing customer list to bring us all the underwear we've previously only dreamed about. They have a good selection of bras, ...

Delivery is very quick usually in 2-3 days though there is a next day facility, your order arrives beautifully packaged in tissue paper , with each item wrapped seperately. I never buy my underwear from anywhere else now that I've found well fitting, comfy, sexy bras! ...

Review of Bravissimo

...more and more depressing. Bravissimo recognises that women like my friend exist. Bravissimo have a shop in london, a mail order catalogue and on-line shopping. More importantly, Bravissimo has ended the miserable days out, the depression bra hunting was causing my friend, and has boosted her confidence and in her eyes, her sex appeal! The catalogue has bras for every occasion in all kinds of colours. With special occasion bras, everydat bras, ...
...very sexy, my friend is in heaven. You can even buy strappy tops with a built in bra. Prices start at £17, the average price being £25. Much more reasonable than what we were used to. Expect to find well known makes such as Berlei and Charnos. Expect to find styles that you'll never find anywhere else. Expect to be very pleasantly surprised. Expect to see and end to awful shopping trips, granny styles, boring white, very high prices. Expect ...

Review of Bravissimo

I discovered Bravissimo some years ago (probably 5 or 6 but could be more), after being measured for a new bra and discovering I was a 28DD. Having always shopped in M & S for my underwear I was mortified, and searched frantically for an alternative outlet. After visiting a number of stores/specialist shops in my area and finding nothing but frumpy old fashioned bras on offer, I started browsing magazines for details of mail order outlets who migh ...
...is how I came across Bravissimo and I have never looked back since. So what have they got that others haven't? Each season I receive a well illustrated glossy, colour brochure consisting of about 25 - 30 pages, full of delightful underwear, tops (with hidden support) and swimwear. The majority of items are very pretty, yet sensible, and although there are a few older styles in there none of them could really be called "frumpy". There are styles ...

Review of Bravissimo

...find Bravissimo, that is! Bravissimo offers an extensive range of bras, basques, bodies, bustiers and bikinis in cup sizes ranging from D-J, all from top manufacturers. They have even brought out a range of strappy tops with integral bras which look to be a perfect addition to the summer wardrobe of the bustier of us out there. You can purchase online from their web site, www.bravissimo.com ,through the mail-order catalogue or even do it the old-fashioned ...

Bravissimo also have wear-testers, which means that the information you are given is gleaned from feedback provided by real-life women!

Review of Bravissimo

...problem you'll have here - Bravissimo offer a wide selection of bras for back sizes 30 - 44, C to J cups, and provide lots of fitting advice - and on the one occasion that I took a friend to their shop and they fitted has as a 36C, and didn't have a lot in stock for her, they told her, and advised her where to go - and that's what I call good customer service!. Their telephone operators are similarly helpful and well trained, and seem genuinely committed ...
...prices tend to be inflated, Bravissimo offers real value, with bras from £18. The current issue even has a sales section with prices from £12!!!!! The illustrations are much clearer than on the website, and I have a likeing for chatty editorials in my catalogues. Postage is reasonable (£3.50 I believe, although I have'nt the catalogue in front of me) and returns and exchanges (so important when buying without trying one) are free, efficient, and ...

I looked on Bravissimo's website last Friday afternoon & noted down the number of a bra I liked. When I got home that evening, I telephoned through the order. The person I spoke to was really helpful. She told me that it would be delivered within 5 working days. Imagine my surprise when ...

Review of Bravissimo

...feminine and sexy, but finally Bravissimo listened to us and have put together a collection worthy of caining my visa card on. There is every colour imaginable and every style (full cup, half cup, balconette, plunge, basque, sports etc) and nearly all come with matching items (Its nice when you can buy knickers/thong to match your bra). Hallujah, they do plunge bras in larger sizes too! I mean we have the bust so why shouldn't we flaunt it? :-) ...
...their bust look smaller?). Well Bravissimo came up with a solution, specially tailored clothes e.g. I'm a 12 skirt/trouser size and my top half I wear a 34 band bra but I used to have to wear a size 14 or 16 to cover my bust. Now with Bravissimo's range I can wear a size 12 blouse! How? They desgined a range so that if you're a 34/36 back then you'd be a 12 and then you choose the next bit, each of the size then have sub-categories : Curvy, Really ...

Review of Bravissimo

...where the good people at Bravissimo come in! Bravissimo are a mail order company who cater for those of us with larger busts. They predominately sell underwear but have also started to sell clothes more recently too. It can be a nightmare trying to find pretty matching underwear sets on the highstreet if you're bigger than a D cup! For some reason, the major stores seem to think that if you have big breasts that all you want to wear are horrible ...
...The delivery service of bravissimo is really good and my clothes have usually arrived within a week which I think is very reasonable. I can honestly say that without bravissimo my underwear collection would be a lot more boring and for that, my boyfriend especially, thanks them a lot!!! lol In conclusion there clothes can be quite expensive but you can't find the sizes they stock very easily elsewhere and what you buy is really good quality.
