The cup was too deep for me. Couldn’t fill it

Very Good Quality. Gives my moobs a rounded and forward projected shape, but its not a pushup. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Aside from the underwire being narrower than I expected, by the measurements alone, this bra should fit me. But the moment I tried it on, it shouted "Granny Bra" and couldn't wait to take it off! The cup feels like a thin, non-stretch tricot; no lining whatsoever, very projected and rather torpedo shaped. The gore is slightly overlapped (3/4" wide), so even though it's taller than I can usually wear, it sits pretty flush on my sternum.
The top edge of the cup has an elastic edge that works well for short roots. The pretty lace on the outer cup helps support the sides, and it's a nice touch to run it up the front strap. Someone with a long torso would likely have trouble adjusting the straps long enough. The band seemed true to size.
Technically, it kinda fit, but definitely not a keeper.

Super beautiful, it has a romantic and vintage look, the lace is beautiful and it goes all the way to the straps making it absolutely beautiful!! It gives a more center look than the other rosa faia bras I have, but still looks natural. The lift and support is great, as with the other rosa faia bras with lace, it shows through, not a t-shirt bra.

As the other rosa faia bras I have the band is very stretchy but it still gives support, I have to put it on the tightest row of hooks as the other ones from the beginning but it is still very comfortable, light weight, the padding on the cups is very thin which I like a lot, basically it fits but it is almost on the line of giving me cuadboob. A basic, simple but pretty bra.

Super soft, pretty, simple, very comfortable, true to size, the support is very natural. I have to wear it on the thighter row of hooks to fit, I prefer a 30 band but this one is still ok.

Beautiful, super comfortable, very soft, the band Is very stretchy but still gives support, the lift is ok, the straps are super soft, the lace shows thru thin shirts, it is definitely a bra to use with sweaters or thick shirts. True to size.

Many things I like about this bra: the color (purple haze); the spacer fabric (which I hadn't seen before); the thin, molded cups - about 1/8", sheer but not see-through; the lace (even on the front of the strap); the flexible underwire; the fact it didn't gape on me; and overall, general comfort.

Many things I don't like about this bra: the band is too big on me and the cup is too small. The cup is also a little too narrow, not quite enclosing all the side tissue. The gore is either too wide or too tall, or both, for my ... short & wide root, FoB close set breasts. In this size, the gore sits on breast tissue and not on my sternum, which caused the quad effect. (I can get away with wearing it during my smaller points in my cycle.) The cups are also a little splayed, at 8" between apexes, so on me it looks a little matronly. Prominent nipples would show under a snug shirt.

Believe it or not, I had gone to bra boutique to be professionally fitted. The woman measured me correctly and brought several to try on, none of which fit well at all. Then she brought me this Scarlett, which I love the color of. I ended up keeping this one, despite it's flaws, simply because it was still better than all the old, stretched out ones I had at home. But needless to say, I was not impressed with that boutique!

When I first bought this in 42D, it didn't fit well; the cups were obviously too large. I've had recent growth however, and this 42D bra now fits me much better (I'm measuring 42DD)

I was professionally fitted into this bra. I was a bit turned off by the look at first but it is so comfortable and fits so well I've grown to love it!

This is stretchy t-shirt style bra. Very plain but utilitarian. It is super soft, but I find that the underwire creaks/squeaks when I wear it. I also think the band is a bit too tight. The wires on the sides are a little high, but it's probably the best bra I own.

I like this bra for about an hour at a time. According to all the rules it fits.

According to actually wearing it, it doesn't. The wires leave bruising on my ribs, the gore pokes me in the sternum, breathing as deeply as I'd like is hard...it's just not working out. But it isn't the bra, it's my flared ribs & odd sternum.

The support is excellent, but I'm really a fan of breathing.

wire poking under right arm, but not because wire is too high.

This is a pretty cool bra even though it has molded foam cups , which aren't my favorite. It's just that this bra gives me good shape and is comfortable. I got it from another Bratabase user It is a quaulity bra from the makers of Anita bras.

This bra gives me firm support. It very comfortable I don't even know I have it on.
Well made will last brought many washings.

Cons. My nipples show through my tops.

This is my favorite every day bra. Fits a little snug which I prefer but I forget I have it on. Cups are smooth and comfy. The only thing I can find wrong with it is it doesn't hide my big nipples so well. But the trade off is worth it.

This bra is unfortunately discontinued, and I no longer fit into (and have really worn out) the two I own. Soft, silky fabric, no lining, good structure provided by interfacing and side boning rather than wires. Anita/Rosa Faia makes lovely, comfortable bras! These lasted two years on heavy rotation.

This bra is comfortable and stays in place very well, I never have to adjust the straps! Unfortunately after a few months of wearing it and my other bras that fit, my tissue has adjusted and now I get some spillage at the top of the bra. It didn't stretch much and it is very supportive, but it gives my boobs a more round shape that I don't like as much.

Allegedly a 32I in all formats, but not even close. Gore is about 1 full inch from my sternum and larger boob wants to come out at the gore. I need to widen my shoulders at least two inches for the straps to stay on. Otherwise, it's pretty enough, but it has to go back.
