Anita Rosa Faia Seamless Underwire Bra 5490 Reviews

A very comfortable bra with moderate support, however, I can see that in a few washings the elastic may lessen. This is my weekend bra when I don't care if there is some jiggling. De from New York

I find the padding to be too thick. The cup size was off according to the sizing chart. mjean from idaho

This is my all time favorite bra. I have gotten to a point where I will only wear this bra. It's so comfortable yet supportive. My only concern is that the past few I have purchased the wire split in the middle. Also the bra is very squeaky. It they could fix the squeakiness it would be perfect. I am hoping my new purchases do not break either. Nancy from Norristown, PA USA

My favorite bra. Elastic is too soft though, meaning it wears out too quickly. Elena from New York

I usually wear Fantasie brand but you didn't have my style size, so I tried this one. I admit I am hard to fit, but this bra was very unsatisfactory. I was spilling over the cups and it gave almost no support. This style does not work well for larger bust sizes, at least it didn't for me, so I returned it for a refund. I ordered two other bras, a different style that I want to try for sleeping in, but they are on backorder and no status update has been received. So far, not a great experience with HerRoom.

Anita Response: Our Rosa Faia style #5490 is wear tested by big breasted women of all sizes and meets the standards of the size charts of Hohenstein Textile Institute. If the breasts bulge out, the chosen bra size is too small. We recommend to use our sizing chart to find the right size. Janis from Trussville, AL, USA

Way too small coverage for an H cup. not even close for full breasts which I have recently realized I have, not just big, but FULL. Boo hoo

HerRoom Response: Many manufacturers call their sizes differently. So, a H cup in one brand may not be a H cup in another. This is why we have a great Brand Comparison Chart for you to find your correct cup size.

Anita Response: If you want a similar one and a smooth cup then you can go for the Alicia bra 5690 - it is a stronger material and only one layer and made of super-microfiber. For more coverage I also suggest from our comfort line 5448 soft bra or 5460 underwired bra or 5454 underwired bra. Lisa from Cinti, OH usa

Great bra. The most comfortable bra I have ever found. The only issue I have is the straps slip down a little. Still a great bra. Teresa

This bra feels almost as if you don't have one on. I've had a terrible time finding the right bra. I liked this one so good, that I ordered 2 more just like it. Just wish that it came in more colors. Teresa from TN

Another SUPER comfortable bra from Anita. Love it. I gave it 4 stars, because it seems to be a little large in the band - it was perfect when I put it on, but as the day went on, it slid a little. I would definitely recommend this bra. kasey from media,Pa, USA

This is a very comfortable under wire bra. It gives good support, but could give a little better lift. Overall very happy with purchase. Laura from Anamosa, IA, United States

I had been measured locally, so I knew my size, and I was told that Anita bras were especially made for petite plus size.I have been searching for the perfect bra for the last 20 years and now I have finally found one. I will be ordering another soon. Thank You. Carolyn from Guthrie, oklahoma USA

In so many ways, it is a great bra for a petite frame. It was too tight around the back for me. Elizabeth from Schenectady, NY

Definitely the most comfortable bra I have ever worn. It has support in the right places, the fabric is soft and it keeps it's shape. dale from east lyme, ct

This is the one. I tried them all on, thanks to Her Room, and when I put this one on it was me. I like a seamless bra that moves with me and I am hard to fit because I need a longer strap. The straps on Anita are just long enough, the elastic above the cup makes it fit like a dream. The elastic in the back not only prevents the strap movement but also balances the tension with the bottom of the bra improving comfort. It feels like I don't have anything on!

Very comfortable, straps stay up on my shoulders which is a big plus for me, as this is an ongoing problem for me. Kristin from St Paul MN

After trying many of the seamless bras I love this one. It just seems to be perfect for me. The straps are long enough which was a problem with many. I love it. Beth from Aiken, SC USA

Good fit, very comfortable, lightweight support & straps stay put. After washing, stretches a bit so not totally smooth cups. Back panel sometimes rolls up cause of my back fat. Underwire sometimes makes noise when I stretch or sit up and back. Could use a nipple guard. I will probably order again. Fayetteville from NC

Overall a very good bra. Easy to fasten and very comfortable. The only bra I like to wear. My one complaint is that the straps won't tighten enough and they fall off my shoulders!

HerRoom Response: Appreciate your feedback. Another reason your straps might be falling off is because your cup size is too big - you are not filling out the top of the cups and this can cause the straps to fall down too. MeMe from Oklahoma City, OK

Cup size runs a little big, but because of the stretch, it works anyway. I like the wide shoulder straps that are positioned well to stay on even on a tiny frame with sloping shoulders like mine. Very comfortable. Cathy from Vancouver WA

For me, this one's better than most. Comfortable, lightweight, not bulky, but still provides decent support. Shoulder straps are wide, which is helpful (I know the frame of a bra rather than the straps is supposed to provide most of the support, but in my case there's still a fair amount of weight on the straps in every style of bra I try). This is likely to become a go-to everyday bra for me. One small thing I'd subtract a fraction of a star for if I could: like most bras, the outer edges of the cup & strap cut or rubs in the front of my armpit/shoulder area.
