I was pretty excited about this bra, but unfortunately for me it is a big disappointment.
While the materials used feel like they're quality, the actual quality of the bra is lacking. It both looks and feels cheap (either on or off), and there are some major sewing issues that I have no idea how they pass any QA.
For me, the only redeeming quality about this bra is the beautiful colour.
The bra has three part cups, fully lined with non-stretch tulle. Top of the cup is finished with an elastic, my guess is to better hold onto the top of the breast and not slide down.
The elastic is always ... an issue for me, and this bra is no exception. It cuts into my tissue like crazy and it's actually quite uncomfortable, while at the same time feeling like it's not containing anything in.
In addition to that, the cups are way too shallow for me, and way too short as well. I genuinely feel like my boobs are about to fall out of this bra.
The lace on the cups is stretchy. I will never understand the point of that. It also looks as if there is more of lacy material than there is the tulle, so the lace bunches around the seams from the tension and such. It's really very odd.
The band is extremely stretchy. At 60cm unstretched, it measures to over 80cm stretched, which is what my 70s measure usually. I feel like for optimal band size I would have needed at least a 60, or a 55 even.
The wire channels are what causes the most issues for me I think. They seem like they are too wide for how thin the wires are. It just never feels like my breasts are contained in the wire, and the channels keep turning around the wire, I'm not at all used to this feeling.
The gore... does not tack. For those reading my reviews, you know that even my worst fitting bras, even if small, the gore will stick tack. Rarely does it not and if it doesn't it's because either the wires are flimsy or they are weird shaped. The wires on Rosi are very wide, and very flimsy. They are also weirdly shaped - like a slightly deeper (.
The gore is very wide (the widest I've had so far). It floats very obviously. When I press the gore in to tack, the cups cut my breasts in two.
The positives - the straps are very long, though they are hard to adjust. The colour is absolutely fantastic, like a warmer red.
Overall, pretty disappointed. This bra is just too shallow for me.
Also sorry for crappy pics, the weather sucks today.
edit: I do want to say that I very carefully followed their size chart and even sized up in cup cause I genuinely felt like a 65H wouldn't have been large enough in the cup. In reality, what I should have done is ordered something close to 65J or 65K (or rather, a 60K or L or something around there). Their advice (I contacted their Facebook page asking how to measure) was to put a bra on and measure my bust like that... yeah no. Don't do that.

Aw man, that is such a bummer
Sorry it didn't work work out ☹️. (The colour is gorgeous though).
60 that stretches to 80! Yikes! That's a lot of stretch in that band.
