This is the first bra I've got in my "real" measured size. I'm really disappointed that the cups are such a poor fit. Especially since 28Es are so hard to find. As I'm new to the game, I'm not sure if this is a shape incompatibility or a size mismeasure, or if this bra simply runs large.

This bra is not owned any more

  It could very well be a shape mismatch. I feel like Freya plunges are really narrow and the cups are close set while the half cup bras are really shallow and the wires too wide.

• Thanks for the feedback! I have two Freya longlines that actually fit well in 30e no less, so it could very well be a plunge vs half cup issue. I will keep this in mind when shipping for Freya again :-)

• This bra IS fairly narrow, It's for FoT shapes and is not forgiving at all. Just by you saying this bra doesn't work, I'd suggest even/FoB shapes for you and possibly wider wires. A Cleo Juna or Maddie in 28F (they run small) would be good to try as well as Parfait Charlotte in 30DD (runs tight).
  You might want to try an unlined Freya in 28E (Lauren cut and clones)... and maybe an unlined Curvy Kate in 28E but only if you can find them at a place that's returnable. Amazon is a great place for that because they have free returns if you buy from them as a seller.

• I just wanted to say thanks, animated! I got the Cleo Maddie and I love the fit. I will continue to search for your other recs :)

• Oh, that's great news! I'd try the Parfait Charlotte next if the Maddie was a good fit!
