Not bad. I wish the wires were narrower, the cups a bit more open, and the straps closer set, but nothing hurts. I like the lower gore. I may keep it for lower-cut tops, but I’ll probably try the high-apex version first.

This is a nice bra, not quite as great of a fit as my Chantelles, but I don't mind if this is the one I pick from my underwear drawer.

The band is firm, supportive, and fits "true to size" unlike some other Freya bras. The lace detailing is perfectly symmetrical across the two cups, which is a good sign. The cup are cut a little low for the amount of fullness I have, but I'm not sure if sizing up in the cup would help. I don't quad out of the top unless I pull my shoulders all the way back. The shape isn't the best for me and it consistently gaps a bit under the arms. My straps tend to slip, and this bra is no exception. Fortunately, a cheap strap clip to bring them together solves the gapping and slipping issues. Poseidon is a lovely deep blue, and the black straps are understated when they peek out from a neckline. For full price, it might not compare favorably to more expensive brands that cost just a little more, but if you can get it for <$30 it's totally worth it.

I wear the Offbeat Side Support in 32E, so I decided to try the plunge in 32DD and 32E. 32E is definitely too projected in the cups, while the 32DD cups fit well. Band is also significantly longer than the side support (multiple inches), but I think it actually fits truer to size. I measure as a 30 band, and that’s what I seem to need in the plunge, though that would be too tight in the side support. Strange inconsistency, but that’s bras for ya!

This isn’t my unicorn bra but it is the first bra I’ve worn in years that fits and works well. It’s a hint too wide in the cups but isn’t uncomfortable. I really like it and I think my chest almost looks bigger in this without the padding than in my last push-up!

This fits perfectly, and I do mean perfectly, in every aspect for me. The band fits, the wires are the correct length and shape. The gore tacks, but doesn't pinch. I don't have any side boob overflow, and the top neither gapes or cuts in and sits attractively flat without the tell-tell shirt line of the molded cup.
All of which sucks because of course my best fitting bra after trying on some 25 of them is a comedy "sexy" bra that doesn't easily correlate to other bras. Oh well, thems my lumps, and I guess I'll take them. I find the decorative pieces aren't great as the top bits where it connects to the straps can stick out of tank tops, and I am tempted to just trim them off.

I really like this bra but the band is too tight. Ordered a 34DD, will add measurements when it arrives.

I bought this bra because it looked pretty. It is pretty, although maybe not quite as pretty as on the website. It is also soft. However, it does not fit. The band is pretty loose even for Freya (I tend to like looser bands and I hooked it on the second hook). But mostly this is a shape mismatch. The gore is too tall or too wide and doesn't tack. It cuts in at the top but there is gapping at the sides, especially toward the bottom, and the bottom wire won't go high enough. The fabric is soft but the wires aren't particularly. I am apparently pretty projected. Still, this is shallower than I would have guessed. Definitely size down in the band.

I like this bra a lot! It is molded, so it might just be hiding fit issues, but I have sure noticed fit issues in plenty of molded bras. It is soft and the straps are pretty. I think the straps would look especially good in smaller sizes. Actually, the wire slides down, but that happens in every single bra I've tried so far... I attempted to measure it but for certain measurements, I got a different number every time I took the measurement, so I skipped those. Best fit for me so far. I maybe need more projection?

This reminds me of the Fantasie Rebecca. Which I also did not like. Kind of ugly and excessively rigid, more than most molded bras. It is also a little big for an E. Not a full size but just slightly.

Good solid construction. I really like it, just doesn't fit.

I bought this because I love a longline bra. I have the non-longline Fancies in a 30F and the band fits right, initially I bought this one in a 30F assuming the fit would be similar. However, this model bra only has 2 hooks instead of the usual 3 and the 30F felt far too tight. It looks like most Freya longlines are like this but I can't work out why. It gave me pretty bad back fat rolls which were obvious under clothes. My husband even agreed with me it didn't look good and he's usually pretty blind to things like that!
As I really liked the ... way it looked, I decided to sister-size to a 32E but having worn this a few times, I can tell that the band is a little loose. The wires in this bra are too wide for me, this can be seen on the photo. I have also tried 32DD and 30E and the cup didn't have enough depth for me in either of those sizes. The wires also come up too high at the front and dig into my breast tissue. It's painful and I struggle to wear this for a whole day. In hindsight, I should have returned this.

This bra and me don't get along. The cups are too widely spaced and one side or the other has to have the underwire sitting on tissue to fit. The cups had extra space on the sides between the strap and the wing. I think a lot of issues are due to the band being too big. The band rides up my back and I end up with huge gaps at the top of the cups, while after I scoop and swoop the cup is pulled down so that the edge is curving away from my body. Underwire are in the wrong spot and digging in under my arms.

nice look, a tad tight on the front. Still not sure how I feel.

Fits but the edge of the overlay shows through shirts and the dart from the bottom of the cup can show too.

The fit is comfortable and stays that way across the day. Seems to be best for FOT. I don’t fill the top of the cup fully.

Me: 30F/32E. Center full, close set, relatively even when supported, tall-ish roots. Not particularly narrow - average to wide roots. Soft tissue. Shoulders are on the slightly narrow side so some balconettes have straps that are too wide for me.
Gore on tissue, significantly digging in despite being pretty low. Otherwise a good fit - good shape, wires seem to be wide enough and mostly stay put. I like the round shape and the wire channels have a nice soft fabric on top, plus there's a lining inside the cup that's comfortable. Probably a nice option for people who are used to molded cups. I tightened the straps slightly and the edge of the cup didn't stick up at all! Ugh. Stupid gore.

Keyhole back one with only one hook didn't feel less supportive so that's cool. Band is very stretchy/loose out of the box so I tried wearing it on the tightest hook. Discomfort around gore/wires - I think they’re rubbing on tissue because they’re sitting on it, a common problem for me. Also the upper section of the cup cut into my tissue (tall roots thing). The depth of the cup/overall shape was good - depth where needed at the bottom and apex.
The wire channels have a nice amount of padding. I wish this one had worked!

This bra: yeah, the one hook thing really threw me. But it didn't feel less supportive than the many 2- and 3-hook bras I've tried. It also had the right distribution of cup depth. However, the top part of the cup/lace section cut into tissue, so it was too closed on top for me. Also, it was slightly too wide in the gore, so I could feel the wires around the center start to rub on tissue after a few minutes. That was the real dealbreaker.
Might work better for short/average roots. It had an okay amount of room for center fullness, just too wide-set for me.

Liked this bra a lot, but the cups are too wide for my frame
