One of the most important things I learnt from my mum is the importance of a good fitting bra, especially if you’re bigger than a C! It’s all very well buying yourself a pretty bra and knicker set every few months from Zara or H&M but they almost certainly won’t last and don’t fit properly, which makes your clothes fit badly and essential could give you back problems. I came to Bravissimo with my sister, on the advice of a friend to get a proper fitting and invest in some ‘proper’ bras(call before and you’ll be sure to have somebody help you). This shop is for people size D and above, not people who need egg warmers like me, just so you know. The girl who measured her was really down to earth and made her feel very comfortable, She told her where she was going wrong, i.e. wearing bras too big, and suggested some brands that would do her justice. She bought 3 bras for under £100 but worth every penny, her whole shape and posture has improved.

Selling lingerie, swimwear and specially fitted clothing for big boobed women, Bravissimo is like a secret club, hidden away from the prying eyes of North Street passersby. The shop front is comprised of a door and then stairs to the unknown, a world only open to ladies gifted with a Dcup or more. Upstairs you’ll find a wide selection of bras and support clothing, all quite expensive but very good quality and there’s no frump involved. They do cup sizes right up to K and offer free non-obligatory fittings which you can either walk in to or pre-book. The staff are very responsive to customers wandering up from the downstairs entrance and trot over to assist, and are particularly helpful if you’re not sure what you’re looking for.

Good for fancy underwear, helpful staff. Even better, but more crowded, if there’s a sale on.
