Freya, Fauve, Fantasie
4 out of 6 of the bras in my last order were Freya, and I found that they all had the same kind of fabric in their cup construction. It's hard, smooth, doesn't stretch, not soft, but not quite itchy to wear. The bras I got were two Starlets, Instinct Padded Halfcup, and Patsy Plunge. Their straps were all the same- not quite itchy, but not soft and comfortable. Are all Freya bras like this? Do they all use the same kind of fabric? It seemed like it would get itchy fast in sweaty situations.
Also, the one Freya bra I got in 30D was a joke in the band. 26 inches unstretched, 27-inch underbust. >_>
I know Freya, Fauve and Fantasie share a parent company (and I know Fauve is discontinued, boo). I liked the Starlet, and I know Fauve and Fantasie both have clones of this cut but only go down to a 30. Do Fauve and Fantasie also run big in the band?

The Freya Deco is super soft. But Freya bands are notoriously big. I have found Fantasie bands to run loose too, but not quite to the degree of Freya. I know nothing about Fauve.
All my Fauves have stretchy bands. Not loose, per se; if you measure the unstretched band mine are true to size. But they stretch a lot. And they are very, very comfortable in a luxury way. I have found most of my Fantasies to have very firm bands that hardly stretch at all even over time. They are also very comfortable and soft, with a few exceptions (I do not have the Rebecca which I understand is large in the band). Freya on the other hand? I had to size down in the band (I only have half-cups)not because it was so stretchy but because it was just too darn large.
