I've had my "Aurelia (5672) now for over a month. I've wore it all day a few times a week. I have to say I really like it being that it is so comfortable. I bought mine from Break Out Bras through Amazone in 90E for $66. I think I made a good purchase. It is a very sturdy, well-made bra that almost fits like a glove. I say almost because I have slight wrinkling in the upper cups but, not enough to hardly notice.
The bra supports me and gives me a round shape and is so very comfy. It has 3/4 inch limited stretch straps and 3 hooks in the back. Seamless ,stretch-lace cups with good nipple coverage.
I hear the "Aurelia (5672) is very close to being the "lace version" of the Rosa Faia "Twin"underwire (5490). I will probably one day check out a twin(5490) myself.

Cup shape reminds me of balconette. Fabric seems flimsy. Straps attach to band too far apart in the back.

Very nice simple swimsuit. It has no underwires, but offers great support with integral bust lining. And it has zip detail at the front
The cups are quite big ( up to 28gg, I suppose), and the body part is quite small.

Today is Solve a Mystery during Social Distancing Day

Feel free to laugh at these pictures. They are hilarious! This is my best-fitting-bra EVER. Since I'm a Mom of 3, you can just imagine how many damn bras I've gone through. If you look closely, you can see this this poor thing is literally falling apart from wear and tear. I've had it over a decade. It is SO comfortable it's like having my favorite pillow, or being outside on a soft, sunny day. I can sleep in this and forget I'm wearing it! Why don't I just buy another Twin ... Firm you ask? (This is actually my 4th one over many years). It's $77.00, for one. That's certainly not an unreasonable price for a "perfect" bra, except this bra is so darn ugly. It makes me feel matronly, and it actually scares my husband away. I wear it a LOT because it's so comfortable and it works under just about anything, but I dream of having something more attractive/stylish....and I dream of having a bra with these exact cup measurements, but a shorter band. I have to shorten the band on the Twin Firm a couple of inches when it's brand new, and then I have to keep altering it as it stretches out. This dear, beloved Twin Firm, is on its last alteration, I'm afraid,

So - my mystery to solve among the Experts here: Do any of you know of a bra that's anything like this, with these cup sizes and a shorter band size? I want any and all reqs. I have a few bras that fit me very well, and I am happy with what I have...but this one is just SO comfortable. It fits like a glove, and it has excellent support when I'm bicycling, walking, and I've even worn it doing Yoga!

All help is deeply appreciated.

I ordered this to see if it might work as a
T-shirt bra since I can't wear a T-shirt bra because they don't have enough immediate projection
Cups on this seem to run smaller than a Rosa Faia twin. I normally wear a 28GG in UK sizing . 30G cups were too small.

Fit was a horrible failure for me, cups too small and too wide. Gore was too wide
Band I think is TTS. I was more comfortable fastening it on the innermost hook.

Very comfortable bra with good lift, the center gore is narrow and the underwires sit very close together in the middle so it does bring you more front and center versus off to the side. I tend to have comfort issues with underwires poking either up too high into my armpits or sitting on breast tissue but this does not seem to be an issue so far with this bra and Anita bras in general. The shape is a little pointy on me but it may just be my shape because the bra does nor appear this way in the stock photos. Will try to add pictures ... soon. The only complaint I have is I truly need a 30 band (65 in European sizing) rather than a 32 which means I cannot start on the looset hook, but I am on the the middle hook with this bra rather than the tightest and it seems to be snug enough so far. Anita seems to only start at a 65 band in a few models, most start at a 70 band unfortunately. The straps are also a little wide but very comfortable, although I could do without the intricate embroidery on the straps and top of the cup as well as it looks a little overdone for my taste. I just started wearing Anita bras and I feel the quality of the materials and fit seem to be very high. I think the shape of their bras fit my body type well, and it has been a lot of work to find a brand that fits me well because I think I am very picky and I have had a lot of issues because I think I was measuring myself as larger than I really am initially. In any case, very good fit so far after a few weeks of wear and would recommend trying this brand.

This bra is only one cup size off from my "sister size" (a 40HH), but is a terrible, terrible fit. Although the cups have the potential to have decent depth, the underwires are extremely flexible/soft - barely more than a suggestion. The cups have a single diagonal seam on the inside, which provides no shaping or support whatsoever. The material is quite soft, a microfiber, but also ends up being too soft to provide shaping or support.

The fit is laughable. The gore does not tack, the wires don't shape or support, and it basically is a very pretty sleep bra - except that the cups aren't even large enough to be comfortable! My ultra-crummy Fruit of the Loom no-cup-size 40 band pullover sports bras are less compressing! And that says something, to a 38J!

This bra would likely be okay for someone who did not need a lot of shape or support, but I sadly cannot recommend it.

(purchased used)

This bra fits! (kind of) For now...

I can tell that I have room in the apex of the cup only, but there is no quadboob for now. This will be a good interim bra on the way to allowing my boobs to migrate back home.

The band is very snug on the last set of hooks, but when I sw/scoop, it is less snug.
The cups are relatively stiff, so don't show the very slight looseness in the tips of the cups. They are snug around the perimeter of my cups. I have a feeling that with more migration, the cups will stop fitting properly, but RIGHT NOW, ... this fits good enough I did a happy dance when I first put it on.

UPDATE: Oh, what a difference a half hour makes...

This bra is still way better than my previous size, but it is not what I need. I will use it for now.

The straps are way too wide for me; they start right at my underarm.

The wires are not wide enough, but they are close. I think I need about 7.5-8" width on underwire to actually encompass my boobage as it is now.

Not all bras in this band and cup size fit me, but this one does fit me good. The cups are just right with a depth of 10.5

Updated on Oct 22, 2024 Flag this

Overall, the bra is very comfortable and the soft cups work for a variety of shapes and sizes. The material is lightweight and breathable and the band is very strong.

However, I did have some issues. Firstly, I ordered the wrong size for the band and now have to use an extender. The center gore is quite wide which makes my breasts appear very wide-set in comparison to other bras, and makes it difficult for me to wear button-ups or tighter shirts. Also, the cups are very full and the straps are very wide which makes it difficult to wear strappy or low-cut clothing.

Superb comfort! The thickness of the cup gives me a little more confidence, and the material is breathable and there is nothing that sticks anywhere or irritates the skin. I'm super finicky about tags and bad seams and such, so I'm used to having to pay extra... Hope the bra proves to be durable as well! The brand does have the reputation of being pricey but lasting long https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Very comfy and lovely fit, gives a natural shape, almost feels like I’m wearing nothing (warning: nipple can show through if you’re wearing thin/stretchy tops)

The cup sizes larger than the Rosa Faia brand’s Twin style (5490). I would size down in cup (to be honest, a 28F or 28G would likely have been ideal, if they made those sizes)
The straps are nice & wide with a pretty design

This is my second Rosa Faia, passed along the first due to projection mismatch . Bought this style as a root width depth tester, as I struggle horribly with finding bras with cups that don't strain against my shallow lower tissue, or sit over and smash my full-on-side roots. I'm not full on bottom by a long shot. Just very small ribbed with wide roots, so everything in my size is invariably flat-cupped with nowhere for breasts to go. Not even counting the wires being wildly too narrow.

As it turns out, this design is a perfect match for my immediate projection needs and when I ... pin out the 1" height difference, would have worked well for my short, wide, shallow breasts. The Scarlett would be amazing for someone with more central projection who needs a little more depth than usual, maybe not superb design for full on top, but wouldn't say that this style is adverse to mild upper fullness. Scarlett surprisingly didn't cut into my upper root as most cups do. It performs lovely as a basic support structure cradling one's chest, rather than engineered to push up, around, or otherwise bully breasts into some sort of upper-to-inner apex overflow (again, would expect for a fuller or even projected person this bra would fit truer to size than some brands which seem to run small).

As for the materials, the band is of woven powernet weight spandex, very stable and joins to a wing & cup made from a single layer of a poly woven material of the same weight. There is not jabby boning in the seam that connects them, what a blessing. Inside is a double layered duoplex sling which extends from the strap down past the central seam, toward the inner cup. I want to rave about this design as again, it isn't performing poorly on my immediate projection by smashing or pishing lower breast tissue sideways & outward at an icky angle, as many cups so. Instead, I get a lovely light & sturdy guide for my FOS tissue reminding it to stray away from my armpits.
The lace upper is incredibly detailed embroidery on fine albeit heavy duty powernet, stretching up to 25%. Nice balance between fitted, and built for ease. The gore is more or less what I'd call 'floating' aka a strip of reinforced satin between the wires which stops short of their end by about half an inch. Straps are mainly of a soft, felted strip with lace ribbon sewn atop, there is a slight give to this so it may be elastic but I doubt that. The rest of the strap is satiny heavy duty elastic which may be considered hard or sharp along edges for anyone whose reached the end of the adjustment allotment.
Trimming and 3 part zig-zag stitch are small and perfectly placed, easy to forget about these details while wearing, but like the lace trim and band. they stand out when handling or observing Scarlett.

Likely as not I'll now simply baste in the difference in Scarletts cup height to match my own apex, & wear her as any other bra in my wardrobe.

Fits like a dream! This was my first post-reduction bra and my shape had changed a lot. I got lucky and this one has a perfect fit. Comfy, I'm able to wear it all day. Looks great. If anything, maybe a little wider than I want to be? But not by much.

I'm not the biggest fan of wireless bras, but I found this one to be comfortable. The manufacturer's site mentions a floral lace panel on the side of the cup on their website, but they don't do a good job of showing it. About half of the panel is these lace stripes you generally see on underwear, while the other half is a small rose lace. It's a cute touch IMO, so it's a shame they don't have any side photos on their site. The cup size on this bra is only listed as E, so if you are used to sizing for UK/US/Australia/Japan, note that you will have to convert the cup size from the European size.

Might be okay in a 60G. Quadding on the inside and the gore won't tack, either because it's too wide, the band's too loose, the cup's too small, or some combination of these. The gore height is good.
