This is my go to bra. My workhorse. My hallelujah-angel-singing-it-fits-like-a-dream natural boobs bra. This is my best fitting bra, hands down. Better than my EMs, better than any other Freya, better than Cleo, better than Comexim.

Tl;dr - this is my number one bra if I want a supported, natural look, or if I'm wearing a button down (EM S's don't fit under my button downs).

Bra description: An unlined, 3-part balcony plunge. Nice wide straps. White, with colorful, neon (coral, yellow, lime) firework polkadots. The pattern goes all around the bra (cups, band and entire straps). The top part of the balcony is a sheer white mesh with minimal white and neon yellow embroidery. The whole look is set off by 3 neon yellow bows. All in all its a cheerful, summery bra that's fun and bold without overwhelming.

The top part of the balcony is quite broad (2.5" at the widest point) which is why I love it so much. I have fairly narrow, projected, short rooted boobs with a lot of center fullness. This bra has great depth, including lots of immediate projection. There's also plenty of room at the gore for my center heavy boobs - I don't get any wrinkling, quadding, tacking issues or whatnot. The cups are the perfect height, and I can fill out the top of the bra without gaping, wrinkles or quadding. As a comparison, the top part of my Freya Ooh la la (also 30F) cuts in a little too quickly and is a little too tall, so I get weird gaping under the top part of the cup, and a little bubbling near the gore. If I were to complain about anything about this bra, it might be that the wires are a hair on the wide side, but they don't cause any discomfort or fit issues. The band is stretchy (as most freya's are), but no where near as bad as my Freya halfcups or deco. Its more of a comfortable stretchy - it stretches for my expandable ribcage, but it doesn't stretch out or ride up (I still use the first or second set of hooks).

I seriously love this bra. I love it so much I went out and bought another one in the yellow colorway https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It creates a great, supported, rounded, yet natural look (not round like cleo, but not as pointed as my Freya Oh la la, Rio or Tropics). It is not as front and center as Cleos (which make my boobs super upfront and narrow), but more front and center my SMs, and certainly more than any padded bra. The shape is nearly identical to what I get in my 65FF SM Ty Weisz, but the cups are shorter on the Ignite, so I don't get the slight gaping that I do in the Ty. It's my go to bra for anything where I want my boobs to fit under a button up or if I want to look a little smaller/slimmer under a fitted top. It gets a lot of wear (in regular rotation with my EM S's and SMs) and it's held up like a champ.

    I wore my freya ignite (yellow) today. This and my cleo Marcie (also yellow) are probably my 2 favorite bras that I could probably wear everyday

  • I have this style in a different pattern. It is just as incredible as you say. It's one of my absolute all time favourites, besides my EM's. I might have to try this pattern out too.

  • I love mine, too - in yellow 28F. Was initially a bit roomy, but I gained weight and now fits perfect.
