If you can't visit one of Brava's stores use the below guides to find your correct bra size. You must be guided by the way your bra feels to you and if it feels uncomfortable, even if it appears to be the correct bra size, then it's probably the style that does not suit you. View Brava's Bra Style Guide for more information.
Before we show you how to find your correct bra size, you need to put your bra on correctly. Not putting your bra on correctly is like putting your shoes on the wrong feet.

And then there is puberty, menopause, pregnancy, weight loss, weight gain... the list goes on. The best thing you can do for your figure and self esteem is to visit a Brava store for a professional bra fitting. Our lingerie range for us curvy women is the best Australia has to offer. It's not rocket science! However, women are made in delightfully different shapes and sizes and bra manufacturers differ their sizings dramatically.
