Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
I would call this the perfect wireless bra. It's lightweight, soft, comfortable and it comes in larger cup sizes. It's remarkably supportive for a wireless bra, and if you can't wear underwires, or prefer not to, this is definitely worth a try. One review remarked that the cups had a pointy shape but to me the shape of the cups is one of the things I like best. Most wireless bras seem to flatten me, but the way the cups on this bra are designed gives me a very nice shape.

You forget that you have it on. And I will not settle for anything less in this category. It uplifts with a perfect shape. It lasts forever; some of mine are six years old with constant use. It is very supportive. Supportive enough for a C/D to do yoga or bodypump in. It disappears under a white V-neck. I love that there is no underwire (no thanks!) and no padding (I have enough boob already). This is the only everyday bra that I will wear. Thanks, Zappos, for carrying it!
I'd also recommend:
None; I only wear this bra & some Champion running bras that last forever aren't made any more.

Anita Rosa Faia Style 5493 is the most comfortable and supportive bra that I have worn in 40 years of bra wearing! Do not let the slender model 's photo confuse you: this is a bra for busty women, too. This is the only bra that I can wear all day in comfort and not need to take off the minute I get home. Amazing for a 44D! The secret of this bra is a silky, very supportive fabric that forms the cups. At first, the bra feels almost too tight, then slightly stretches to mold to your body. With wear, weight gain, washing technique/amount the bra will continue to stretch somewhat, depending on your variables. I rotate several of these bras at a time and have had a perfect fit for about three years of everyday use. I also am able to retain some stretch by drying the bra in a mesh lingerie bag in the dryer. After three years the bras are still wearable, they just do not have that very firm uplift that is needed under some fabrics , like knits. I find that the amazing personalized fit and comfort is worth the price of buying new #5493's and "breaking them in" when I need a firmer fit. I am delighted to find that Zappos is carrying this bra! Anita Rosa Faia bras used to be very hard to find in the U.S. as they are made in Germany. I look forward to the ease of shopping online with Zappos and am hoping they keep stocking a full size and color range of this wonderful bra!

True to description. Natural look and comfortable feel. No extra glamor but just what I want in an everyday supportive but comfortable bra.

For the price, I was expecting this to be an amazing bra. Such a disappointment! Cheap construction, itchy seams, weirdly shaped cups that were very unflattering. I will spend $70 on a bra if it's life-changing, this one wasn't it

This is a great bra. Gives lift, and proper separation. It's VERY comfortable. It makes you look great in your clothes. When others said you forget you have it on, I thought 'ya, sure'.... but... I've even found myself leaving this on once I'm home for the evening! Amazing! Well constructed, yet not hard and padded. I got a second one.

I was so happy with the fit and comfort of the Anita Air Control sports bra (5533), I ordered this model hoping for a similar fit. This is a fuller cup type fit than the sports bra which runs shallower. Nice item, just not the right shape for me.

I read modesty and thought the double construction meant it would hide nipples on a cold day! No such luck. Should have read the other reviews better

Size 40B: This bra is unlined/sheer. For me, it had too much material at the tip of each cup (baggy). Seems well-made otherwise.

"double layer construction for modesty"? nope. you can see everything. i dont understand why so many wireless bras are also so thin you can practically see through them. there needs to be at least some construction and thickness so that you can get some shape and can't see everything. returning.

I hated this bra, and I really wanted it to work for me. I got it in a 34B and a 34C. My breasts looked distorted, pointy and unsupported. I was so sorry because I really LOVE the wireless sports bras, and the Rosa Faia Padded Softcup bra (which was not available in my size at the time I needed a new bra). I have 9 Anita bras because they have the most support without the underwires. I was hopeful with this bra because the others come up so high in the middle, that it is difficult to wear v-necked shirts or blouses. I will say that this is a great brand, but really the wrong bra.

Great fit. Extremely comfortable: firm support with some stretch. Wide straps are very comfortable, also low-profile and invisible through tshirt. As noted by other reviewers, the cup shape of this bra can hew towards the...pointier. However, I've found that shortening the straps a tiny bit can round off the "points". Though I own some Wacoal underwires that also fit well, and create a rounder shape... I gotta say, this wireless bra is more comfortable. Soft fabrics, slight stretch, relatively firm support for a wireless bra, wide comfy adjustable straps that don't slip, and secure double hooks. Also a very minimalist t-shirt bra without ribbons, sparkles, or other decorations. Which I prefer for daily wear under tshirts. Perhaps the best bra I've found yet (and it's been about 30 years of resentfully bra shopping so far). Don't even get me started on sports bras.

The fit & coverage were perfect. The bra had little support, and that was disappointing.

The bra fit fine, but the band is not comfortable. It's basically just elastic. The bra also does not provide any shape to the girls.

Very Comfortable bra. I gave up looking in department stores at the same old brands that were bulky, uncomfortable and did not last. When i wear this bra I forget I have it on , it is that comfortable. I purchased it mainly to have a lightweight undergarment for the summer. It has proved itself to be a 5 star bra!

When I first tried it on, it seemed like it would create an unflattering "torpedo" shape, but this improved once the straps were adjusted. Comfortable, well-made and supportive for larger busts, without an underwire. I wear a 36C for reference.

I love this bra. It’s incredibly comfortable and is of excellent quality. They last a long time if you hang them to dry - after washing. I only issue is that, when wearing a fitted shirt of light fabric, I sometimes need an extra layer of fabric in the cup. That happens very infrequently and is the only reason for my 4 rating.

Feels a little small to size, both band and cup. Fabric is very comfortable. Color is definitely nude, not at all close to white or cream like the another review I read implied. I have another Anita double lined soft cup (nursing) that can be worn under a t-shirt. This one is thinner and is harder to wear under a thin t-shirt, though it works well for everything else.
