Bravissimo virgin

I've just discovered Bravissimo do clothing, can anyone advise what the quality/fit/delivery/returns etc are like? I'm a 14/16 bottom half with 36G norks so am hoping to find a few good quality bits to wear that will make return my long-lost confidence in my lumpy body. It was the 3rd pregnancy that was the final straw!

Any recommendation much appreciated, I feel a bit lost. Thanks.

Have never had any issues with delivery/returns, all fine.
I have found that some of their dresses are a bit tight around the hips, but they have fixed that with newer models I've tried. Also, read the comments on their websites, people usually complain if something is bigger or smaller than normal.

Quality - varies. I have bought some lovely items I wear all the time, but also some I certainly was not happy with. But it's really the only place for buttoned shirts and non-jersey dresses for people like us, so I keep buying.

I agree with ullainga

Service good, quality variable

It's free returns so I would just order everything you like the look of

Sizing isn't normal so you need to measure

Staff on the phones are very knowledgeable so worth giving a call if you are in doubt about sizes

Have had a few bits - dresses and shirts and been fairly happy. Sizing takes a bit of practice to find what fits - it depends a lot on your overall shape. Their dresses with fitted skirts tend to be quite small at the bottom although I have a few Jersey dresses in a 12 or 14sc (I'm a 30j) which are very nicely cut and floaty enough that I didn't have to get a bigger size for the hips! I also have a couple of their shorter jackets and shirts and because I have a small waist have tended to end up going down about 2 sizes!

I have this dress and it's very flattering - skims over everything, no spanx required and far more waist fitting than it looks in the picture. I've worn it for job interview!
