Seriously gorgeous bra. Smooth, satiny material. I wanted to keep it, but it was way too big in the cups. While the 28F Deco fits well in strapless, I think I must be a 28E in most Freyas.
Not rated well because it did not fit. If I had this bra in the correct size, it would be excellent across the board.

Hi there,
I no longer own this bra, but thanks for asking - I was able to trade it fairly quickly on Ravelry. I see that it's out of stock at Bravissimo, but have you checked at breakoutbras.com? It looks like they still have a 28F in the drop-down menu: http://www.breakoutbras.com/product/Freya-Crystal-Molded-Plunge-Underwire-Bra/Underwire-Bras
Based on your profile, it looks like you're waiting on the 26" Loran from the big bra bar site - which cup size did you order? I'm still on the fence as to whether the 26FF would fit me, or if I need a 26F (which they aren't offering yet)
Thanks for asking, and good luck tracking down the Crystal - it's gorgeous and I wish it had fit me.
Aww, thanks anyways. I didn't know you could trade non-yarn related items there, cool! I got the G cup but I'm not sure how that brand fits compared to others. Freya I take F, Panache an FF, and Fantasie a 30E/DDD. I think you're about a cup smaller than me based on the bras between us, so perhaps try the 26FF. I know a lot of the sizes got wiped out pretty quickly. As of the 9th they had 1 26FF left, though no gaurantees it's still available. Hopefully they make more! Thank you for the link as well! =) (Sorry if this got posted twice, IE had a problem and I don't know what happened to the other comment I left)
Come check out the Bust Line group - http://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-bust-line
A few of us tried the grab bags at breakout bras a few months ago and the ones that didn't work wound up on the for sale/ trade thread. I was able to swap out the ones that didn't work for me for yarn.
I have a 30F listed for sale that would probably fit you (band runs snug, cups one size too big for me) but if you've got the Loran on the way, it's probably too similar of a look (sexy and royal blue) for you to consider it. I'm planning to order the Loran if I can sell this one - it seems silly since it doesn't fit, but it seems wrong to order more as long as it's hanging around, ha ha It sounds like the 26FF would probably be the right size for me, though.
That's a really pretty bra. I will have to pass though. The cup depth is listed as 8" (and I've seen another 30F in that brand with a smaller cup depth). I need between 8.75 to 9" for a depth (8.5 at the very least, but that only gets worn when I've had no salt or water, lol). Thank you though. I hope you're able to find a buyer/trader for it.
Thanks for looking! I'm impressed that you know and understand exactly what measurements work for you - I still have a lot to learn about bra sizing and fitting!
Very comfortable and well finished bra. Cups in gorgeous Caramel shade enlightened by small light pink and brownish pattern , which doesn not show under clothes. Same pattern but ticket fabric for bands. Nice shape and overall a food fitting. True to size - i have a problem with cups but it' s my wrong - should have picked a E instead!

This is my first strapless bra that seems to fit decently. I tried the 28 because even though the 30 band was fine, I wasn't sure if it was tight enough for a strapless. Anyway, the 28 is really snug which I think will help with the support, but it made the silicone lining hurt a bit when I was putting it on.
I didn't see much lift like the person in the picture, but it felt ok. I think I would be comfortable wearing it out and about, but I wouldn't go running for the bus with it.

This bra was too big for me. In my review for the 28E size here: http://bratabase.com/browse/freya/nadine-underwired-plunge-bra-4661/28E/ I said,
"I also had this problem with the 28F size, although the cups were too big, the tops of them were definately snug against me. If my breasts were large enough to fill the 28F size, I think I would probably run into the same problem." with regards to how the top of the cup was fitting me. I think this bra is for someone who is full on the bottom, which I thought I was but this bra style just didn't work for me.

Love this one!
Band fits perfect, nice and snug. Hope it doesn't stretch out too much over time. The straps were a bit scratchy at first, may have had them too tight. After loosening it's not rubbing as badly. May soak them in conditioner when I get around to washing it.

The pattern of the fabric makes this bra look kind of plain, despite the embroidery. Slightly large band, pointy boob effect, probably would look better on a woman who's full on bottom, etc. It fits much like the Freya Eleanor, though with a slightly wider cup. The difference is so small, though, that I never noticed it until I was measuring the two just now.

This bra gives amazing cleavage. Because of that, though, it can be a little difficult to tell if you're wearing the right size or if it's slightly too small. It doesn't do the four-boob effect so much as make you feel like your boobs are going to fall out. Also, the band is a bit large, but that's rather minor. I really like this bra overall

I have the one with the white mesh, and it's actually my boyfriend's favorite bra to see me wear because it's sheer. Unfortunately, the band is on the large side and it gives my boobs a pointy shape, which is not what the models showing off this bra look like. I also feel like the top inner section is sewn a bit flat, so this is probably a good bra for those who are full on bottom rather than on top. Very pretty, though.

Beautiful, fits perfectly.

If the Latisha fits perfectly try Freya Polyanna, Nancy, Edith and Feya. They all have the same cut.
This bra was me recommended by bratabase, but it say "This bra hasn't been measured.
But it may be a good fit for you " ...
Can you please give us more informations than fits ribcage??
Thanks.

Do you still own this bra? If so, is it up for trade or sale? I can't find one anywhere in this size.
