This is a super cute bra that seems like it would be comfortable. I actually tried this on once at a boutique, but it was a band size too small (I think she gave me a 32HH, but I measured more like 34H/HH at the time).
I reeeeally like the colors on both this one and the Earl Grey (pink/blue) one. It’s a full lace cup, which is pretty comfortable as I stated before.
Unfortunately, it’s either a shape mismatch, or I need to try a size down to a 36H. The cups were quite a bit big on me (obviously). The bottom seemed projected enough, though, and ...the gore tacked. It was way to wide on the sides, both with extra fabric but also wide wires that were kinda soft and flimsy. I don’t recall the band being too loose or too tight on this one, but honestly I didn’t make notes at the time and it’s already packed up to go back to Amazon!
Anyway, might try this in a 36H, maybe even a 34HH since I can’t remember if the band was too loose or not. Read more 80 more words
I had the same impression of the wires being flimsy and the cup being unsupportive, but I was also wearing it a size bigger so it fit me about like this.
Adler613 hopefully I’ll get to try this out again in a smaller size! Amazon doesn’t have one of the sizes right now (I think 36H), so I’ll have to wait.
The gore almost overlaps on this one, isn’t that weird? They really are piddly, lol!
What a gorgeous bra! I agree it looks a little big in the cup for you but man that pink is so pretty! I'm thinking of trying this one myself. My only other experience at my current size is with Elomi- would you say it's comparably sized? I've been trying 38H, but I think I'm 36HH, so I have an Elomi Kim on the way to try. Thanks for such a detailed review! It really helps!
The cups are soft and pretty. Feel delicate while also providing a good sturdy support. The straps a bit more tough and rigid. And I think they are set a *smidge* too far apart for my shoulders. The shape is much pointier than I like. The lace on the top of the cups is very smooth and seamless from the cup to the hem. But my larger boob is still being cut into. I think the “side support system” is, once again, causing more problems than solving them. It does not push my side tissue in, but the seam just cuts into the shape, causing a “bubble” on ...the side of my boob, creating a NEW quad boob effect! There is no elasticity in this underarm side panel, no extra support, no negative ease. Literally it’s just another seam running up the side.
Out of all the bras I’ve recently bought in a haul, this one is so far the best fitting. But I do not like the pointy shape side profile, the side quad boob, and I am spilling out of the top creating the traditional quad boob.
I would like to repurchase this bra in a 36 J and in the colorway black or blue to see if it fits better. I was stuck with the rosehip as my only option where I bought it. Read more 118 more words
I didn’t measure this before sending it off to Amazon Wardrobe, sorry. I did want to write a short review, though. Mostly because what. is. happening. in. the. armpit?
Seriously, look at the clothed pics. It is up so high in the armpit toward the front that it rubs against my arm when I’m wearing a tank top. I could have used some more projection at the wire, but I was surprised at how little wrinkling there was. Perhaps that’s because it was sitting on breast tissue at the gore and that pushed the wire out a bit?
I do want to give Freya some bonus points because they added the grey band under the pink lace which is a) cute and b) a very comfy alternative to having lace digging in.
This bra is made for projection everywhere, it seems. I've got pretty even vertical fullness, and I filled out the bottom, but it was just slightly loose on the top cups. The issue I had with this one was scratchiness. It was scratchy on top of the shoulders, under the band where the material curled kept wanting to curl under, and especially near the armpits, where the material bunched up. The mesh of the cups was not the softest, either, and the material was sheer. Maybe because the cups were so large, it didn't lift me up much and let me fall out to the sides more than I like. I could try down a cup size, but I probably will just send it back.
The band on the Freya Faye was REALLY stretchy & way too loose on me. This was one of the first bras I ordered when I was trying to find my actual bra size & I was disappointed in how this bra fit, or didn't fit as was the case for me. The lace on the top was very soft, but the cups were very droopy. One of the ribbons on the bra straps was attached with something very, very scratchy & if I had kept the bra, I would have cut the ribbon off.
It fit really well when I bought it quite a while ago. Unfortunately, the powermesh at the back stretches out quite quickly, so it's not so comfortable now!
It's a really gorgeous bra, but anyone thinking of buying one might want to go down a back size (and up a cup) and use a back extender until the back stretches out. Other than that, it holds up really well.
It can give you a bit of a pointy look, which I don't mind but some might.
This was a bra fitted for me and the band feels great around my back. The initial fit was pretty great, but I have found that my left breast, which is slightly bigger than my right breast overspills very slightly in the HH cup. I think I would need a J cup in this, particularly to remove the excess jiggle from the slight overspill on my left breast.
I am quite heavy chested with a wide root and wide breasts which are heavy on the bottom. Apart from the overspill issue - this is a pretty great bra.
I had the same impression of the wires being flimsy and the cup being unsupportive, but I was also wearing it a size bigger so it fit me about like this.
