This is a well made bra but the cup size are much too large. Normally I wear a 48D and in this bra I went down to a 46B. I wish the Anita folks made their specific sizing chart available.

Anita Response: Thank you for your feedback. We are a European design & manufacturer and our sizing may be different from other brands. HerRoom.com does have our brand's size chart onsite, so please refer to that for additional information. Lisa from Orlando, Florida

I gave it a low rating because I had to use the last row of hooks (tightest) which doesn't leave room for stretching in the future. The fabric was wonderful as were the straps. Another negative, for a full size bra, the band under the breast section was much too narrow. For good support, it should have been wider. Other than those 2 negatives, it is an excellent quality.

Anita Response: In this case, we would suggest you go up a band size to a 44F and then it will give you the opportunity to adjust the hooks in the back. We think it may be too tight of a band for you. Joan from s. salem,ny

Definitely not a B cup. I should've sent it back but have already washed it. Did not like the rough feeling material. Threw it away. Mac from Statesboro, GA/USA

Uncomfortable

Anita Response: This bra has no microfiber and therefore it is not as smooth as any other microfiber non seamed bra. We designed this bra to give support and a nice shaped breast especially in large cup sizes. This bra is very well received in the market (definitely in large cup sizes). Also, it is specifically for women who like garments with lots of cotton - therefore the content is 80%. We feel sorry that this bra was not the bra for you and your needs and hope you will find another one from our wide assortment. JMS from PA

Very supportive considering no underwire. Also very comfortable. I have purchased 5 of these is the last month. I certainly hope this style will be available for a long time. Would recommend this bra to any woman who has had difficulty finding a supportive bra without underwire. I normally wear a size 44D. Recommend going lower in size around and increase cup size. The fit is perfect this way and will be more supportive. The price of this bra is worth it! Melody from PA

I would have liked more support and "containment". I need "lift" and side support. I will probably stick with this bra since it is the only one I have found with cotton straps...the elastic straps tend to cause droop. Juneal from United States

I just bought this bra and am wearing it now. It is the most supportive and comfortable bra I have ever owned. No rolling up or binding; comfortable straps and washes well. I just ordered 2 more in a size 40E so that if I lose some weight I will be able to use the other hooks. The size I have now is hooked on the 3rd one so I have no adjustment if I lose weight. I would recommend this bra to anyone who has been searching for support and comfort. Melody from PA

Had to buy two more of the most comfortable, quick drying bra I've ever worn! It's worth the money for the excellent engineered fit and support for non-symetrical, heavy girls. Jean from Texas

This style is wrong for me, the 3 part cup design gives me a 'pointy' shape and the material is rough and scratchy. I returned it.

HerRoom Response: Many times when you end up with a "pointy" shape, you are not filling out the cups. Consider going down a cup size.

Anita Response: This bra was specially made for large cup sizes which need a strong material for the support. It also contains lots of cotton and therefore it can not be that smooth like a microfiber bra. But still it is one of the best selling bras in the anita comfort line.

The 3-part cup gives the best support to large cup sizes and band sizes. We do apologize that this was not an item for you but hope you find another smooth cup- microfiber item from our line in Rosa Faia maybe. Victoria from Clearfield Pa

This and the other bra I purchased are terrible the sizing is way off , they are way too big, the fabric on this bra "the Anita" was awful for the price. I expected a soft smooth fabric, this fabric is very scratchy on your skin. I would not recommend this product.

Anita Response: Style 5427 Jana is one of our bestselling Anita comfort bras. Our sizing is developed according to the standards of the Textile Institute Hohenstein and wear tested by many women of all sizes. We recommend our Anita sizing chart to find the correct size. We are sorry, that you didn’t like the fabric of our bra.5427 is made out of a very supportive cotton fabric with three-part-cups. If you prefer a smoother fabric, we can recommend e. g. our Twin soft bra 5493 , made out of a very soft fabric and molded. tina from york pa

I'm still questioning the right size. According to the "rules" I should be in a 44 B but no matter what size, the band rolls and it hikes up in the back. I've set the hooks on this one at the smallest and that helps, but the back is too high to reach easily for hooking. If I do the hooking in front and turn it around, the straps are difficult to get over my shoulders. The bra itself is probably one of the nicest I've ever had... well made and all, but the boobs still sag. Eunice from Salt Lake City, Ut

I had a professional fitting for this bra at a local store, and found that I was a 34G, instead of my usual 36F. The fit is very snug with fabulous support around, so that the shoulders are not pulled down by the weight of large breasts. The shape is quite good. The snug fit did take getting used to, and initially the bra felt a bit tight. It gives a little over time, and after a break-in period it feels absolutely fantastic to put on. I actually look forward to putting on my bra now, which is a landmark experience! I have just ordered three more. Susan

Not as advertised, no padding, no lift, back rolled.

Anita Response: The customer indicates, that the cup didn’t lift her breasts and the back rolled, which are indications that the size wasn’t correct. The back rolls especially in big sizes, when the band size is too tight. We recommend to use our measurement chart to find the right size. This Jana bra is one of our bestselling comfort bras and wear tested by many women of all sizes. Sandra from The Villages, FL USA

Being big chested all my life, it is nice to find a bra that even fits but this bra does the job . It is light and a lot cooler then other bras I've bought. It supports well and uplifts the girls better then any bra I've bought in years. It is very comfortable and easy to wear. Cherie from Seminole, Fl.

I love this bra - it's worth every penny! It is supportive, but not bulky and it wicks moisture so I stay cooler. Also, I have very sensitive skin and some bras are too irritating. This bra is smooth and not scratchy and I have had no problems wearing it. Great everyday bra. Linda from Camption Hills, IL

Comfortable is the first word that comes to mind. But, there's more. The bra shapes nicely without underwires, the cotton is comfortable and the straps stay put and don't dig in. The strap comfort is dependent upon proper band fit. With this bra, the band fits snugly enough that it doesn't ride up the back, but still flexes enough that normal breathing is possible. A miracle!
