One of my best fitting bras, even if I've grown up a size now. I think the wire width is just about perfect. I'll have to find one of the sister models in a size up.

This fit well when I initially got it but it doesn't anymore. However, it was very cute & comfortable and great for getting me closer to a bra that actually fits.

Let me just say that I'm totally going to buy this bra IN THE CORRECT SIZE for me! I just found out I was a FF and I was basically flying out of this bra and readjusting all the time.

Pros:

I feel it hasn't stretched out much since I've had it which means it has lots of life left.

It's pretty and basic.

Great for low cut tops and dresses.

Cleavage!

Makes your boobs looks awesome!

Cons: Back clasp can get a little uncomfortable but it might just be me. I have always been sensitive to clasps and shirt tags, etc.

I picked it up because it was cute, and it was definitely very cute. Sadly, it also didn't fit me very well - wires were too wide, and like all freya half-cups, it was too open on top and too shallow at the bottom. A very comfortable bra, however - the ruffle doesn't show up if you're not wearing skin-tight clothing, so that's good!

A very pretty bra. I wore the half-cup non-longline version of this earlier, and liked it so much I bought it in my actual size. Sadly, once I was sized correctly, I realized that it didn't fit at all. The wires were too wide, the the cup too open on top and too shallow at the bottom. However, even with those issues it's still a really comfortable bra, so it's got that going for it.

Pretty bad shape missmatch - it sort of looks OK, because the bottom of the cup is too shallow and my boobs shove it down about an inch to get enough room. In consequence, the wires don't support me at all, the cup barely covers my areola, and there is now a fold in the bottom of the cups.

So comfy!! Nearly perfect for my shape, only miniscule gapping in my smaller boob, still not enough immediate projection, pushes underwire down past imframmary fold. Overall a great bra!

WAY TOO BIG! Lots of gapping, underwires too big for my root shape. Also no uplift, boobs seem sad and saggy.

Bought on ebay...band was way too big, otherwise fit good, so tried some stitching adjustments and now it's just awkward... a 30FF or 32F may fit, seemed pretty stretchy!

Altered band,

Comfortable bra, a bit of quadbooping on the largest breat If I scoop and swoop but I have more than one cup of difference between the two.
Great cleavage and look under clothes, band run loose so size down from your underbust measurements.
This bra looks adorable!!!

Longline band turns up constantly, but that may be my bad posture! Straps are a too wide for my narrow shoulder, chest, which causes the cups to dig into my armpits. I want to love this bra, but I can't, it chafes too much.

This bra is beautiful and so comfortable! I received it through trueandco.com free home try on program. My normal bra size is a US 34F and a UK 34E, the bra I tried on was labeled as a 34F in both UK and US sizing. The F cup size fit me perfectly, my problem was that the 34 band was too big. It was only just snug when put on the tightest hooks. I've ordered the bra in a 32F and am hoping that it will be the perfect fit! Every woman should own at least one of these bras!

I bought this used on a Facebook bra swap group. the owner said it had been fairly used but still wearable, so the band is pretty stretched out- take this into account for measurements sake! the cups are also much softer than i imagine a new bra would be. I'm not sure why it doesn't work- but its a shame because its surprisingly very pretty! i love the pinstripes with the mint and rose pattern- not something i would think up myself but it works really well together.

The band is too large (knew it would be when i got it) but on the tightest setting it doesn't ride ... much during the day. I'm not sure if i would size down, as the band is very well worn. A new version may very well be fine. The straps are wonderfully comfortable and soft, with a little stretch.

When i first scoop in the cups fit seamlessly, aside from the gore not tacking all the way. I'm thinking it has more to do with the bra being softened from wear than needing it larger, as pushing the gore against my chest doesn't lead to the any overspill or cutting in. Once i have had the bra on for a few minutes, i seem to settle into it and the cups gape a ton at the top- I'm thinking the under wires are too wide, and since my breasts aren't being supported from the sides by the under wires and they settle back "out", thus the gaping. i have tissue high up on my chest, so it might also be that a half-cup in the right size cant contain it and it slides back out the sides. the 34E - Freya » Marina Padded Half-cup (1273) doesn't do this, but the wires also seem narrower and the cup is a little too small. Then again, maybe its that the band is too loose to keep the under wires anchored to my sides, and a tighter band would fix all my problems? no idea on this one.

Even though the fit isn't right, this bra is sooo comfortable material wise! it looks awful under clothing because of the gaping, but its very soft and i love it as an around the house bra. i may consider selling it if i get better ones, but for a used bra that i was fairly certain wouldn't fit at all, i think its a pretty good deal.

Fits comfortably. Noticed wires on sides are a bit lower than I am accustomed to, but not a problem. Wires are lower than the wing. Shadow is not pointy, but not totally round. Straps are nice thickness. Very cute bra, wish I had matching knickers.

This bra is perfect in every way except the band is just a bit too big for me (I normally wear a 32G). I still wear it pretty regularly though; it's not a big deal for me because I only paid $5 for it second hand, and it's comfortable. I just have to pull it down in the back throughout the day.
I adore the scalloped lace along the top panel of the cup, and I love the big bows. I wish this bra had more color options.

I've changed sizes and the 34 is quite a bit too big for me. The cup size also isn't right but is disguised by the open style of the cups. The underwires go back pretty far which is great for me. A problem I had with this bra is the straps dug in to my arms when I moved them. It was actually so bad that it left bruises. I think this may be partly because of the thickness and rigidness of the straps. They don't have any give when moving around. I remedied this by wrapping the straps in some thick cotton material. They no longer dig in and are now quite comfy.

In retrospect, I should have bought this bra. It did fit but I was afraid of falling out of the middle of it! I probably should have jumped around in the fitting room to simulate wearing it for a while but I felt a little too exposed in this plunge style. However, I didn't really have any fit issues, but I was just afraid of quadboob so I didn't get it. My breasts sit close together (an inch of separation) so you may not have the same problem.

This bra quadboobed on me, I suppose I should've sized up in the cup, but in all honesty I just didn't like the colorway (teal/grey) as it looked bad against my skintone. The straps were hideously wide.

I'm not a big fan of this bra. The wires are not terribly high, but after a few hours of wear they stab into me, probably because I have a lot of side breast tissue that tries to escape. And I look super, super pointy in it. I don't think I'm particularly full on top, but the embroidery causes the top panel to cut in a bit.

I purchased this bra about a month ago. Since then I seem to have changed sizes, as the bra no longer fits properly. This was my first properly fitting bra (at the time of purchase, anyway.)

I loved this bra when I first purchased it. I felt supported and liked the shape. The straps are three quarters of an inch wide and have a little stretch for movement, but held firmly. They also do not loosen during the day due to the texture of the material.
The underwires do not go up high into the armpit as other bras I ... have worn, which doesn't usually bother me anyway, but is a nice feature. The cups are set closer together than other bras I've worn. This bra has only two hooks to each row instead of three, but that was not an issue with this bra for me. There is also a bit of reinforcing mesh at the wing (I think that's what it's called) of the bra.
The craftsmanship is very nice, especially compared to what I was used to before.

There are three small ribbon bows on this bra- one in the center gore and one on the base of each strap in the front. There is also a nice scalloped edge woven onto the edges of the straps and base of the bra. The decorations are subtle, and though I would have preferred a colored or patterned bra, it still looks nice in the beige color.


When I purchased the bra, the woman at the salon wanted me to wear a 36 G. I have a decent amount of back fat, so this wasn't holding me securely enough to my liking. I asked for the next size band down and felt much better. I was comfortable on the longest set of hooks and the bra seemed to support me well enough.
Now I am most comfortable wearing it on the tightest set of hooks, but the cups are too small even when wearing it on the first set (quadboob effect.) Since I have noticed the size change, the cups seem to want to slide down so that the cups fold over a bit, so it does not shape correctly anymore. I assume this is a common symptom of having an incorrectly fitting bra.
I am not sure what happened- maybe the band stretched out as it was broken in, or perhaps I've been getting better a the scoop and swoop technique. Unfortunately I did not measure the bra when I purchased it, so I have nothing to compare it to at the moment.
I have hand washed it once and made sure to wait at least a day between uses to let the bra recover, so I doubt poor care is the issue.


In all, I loved this bra when it fit, and would definitely consider getting another in the correct size.
