Rosa Faia By Anita

Rosa Faia follows the same sizing system as Anita. Bands are generally true to size, although individual models can feel slightly generous or stretchy. A new bra should normally feel secure when fastened on the loosest hook, leaving the tighter settings available as the elastic gradually relaxes with wear.

The cup sequence does not include intermediate double-letter sizes such as DD, FF or GG. A UK DD converts to a Rosa Faia E, while a UK FF converts to a Rosa Faia H. The letter may therefore look unfamiliar even when the cup volume is the correct equivalent.

Do not change size simply because of the lettering. A seamless Twin cup, an airy Selma spacer bra and a structured Colette big-cup bra will each sit differently on the body. Cup depth, coverage, wire shape and fabric stretch all matter, so the individual style is just as important as the size printed on the label.

• Choose a seamless microfibre bra when you want a smooth, understated finish beneath fitted clothing.
• Choose a spacer bra when you want light padding, breathability and a rounded shape without a heavy moulded cup.
• Choose a seamed underwired bra when stronger lift, separation and a more defined silhouette are the priorities.
• Choose a big-cup style when you need extra stability through the cups, sides, straps and back.
• Choose a wireless soft bra when freedom from underwiring matters, while still retaining shaped cups and supportive construction.
• Choose a body or shaping brief when you want smoothing through the torso or lower body as well as a coordinated lingerie look.
• Choose a shorty, thong or high-waisted brief according to the coverage and leg line that feels most comfortable.

The best choice will depend on whether your priority is invisibility, breathability, decorative lace, fuller-cup stability or figure smoothing.

Rosa Faia uses materials according to the job each garment needs to perform. Polyamide is the most common fibre across the collection because it feels smooth, dries quickly and works well in lace and microfibre. Elastane provides stretch, support and shape recovery, while polyester appears frequently in spacer cups, linings and decorative elements. Selected Colette styles also contain a small amount of viscose.

The featured collections each have a different fabric character. Twin is dominated by smooth polyamide and elastane microfibre; Selma combines polyamide-elastane lace with lighter polyester-based spacer fabrics; Bobette uses polyamide-rich lace blends with selected polyester details; Colette mixes polyester, polyamide and elastane in its decorative and spacer styles; and Fleur is chiefly polyamide and elastane.

Exact compositions vary between bra shapes, briefs, bodies and colours, so always check the individual product information and the care label inside the garment.

To help preserve the fit and finish of Rosa Faia lingerie:

• Fasten hooks before washing and remove detachable pads where advised.
• Hand wash bras, lace, spacer cups and shaping garments whenever possible.
• Use a gentle detergent designed for delicate fabrics.
• Avoid bleach, fabric conditioner and harsh detergents.
• Do not tumble dry.
• Allow lingerie to dry naturally away from radiators and direct heat.
