Incredibly comfortable, but not suitable for close set boobs. My boobs also quadded a lot after maybe an hour or use despite fitting inside after the scoop and swoop. The cup really didn't suit my boobs, I guess.

**EDIT** ive added measurements, but ive worn it a few times so the band may be a bit longer. ive jut freshly washed it, and most of the time that brings the band back in if its stretched a bit.
NOTE: ive marked this as fitting in the cups, but one side fits well and one side is gaping. ive chosen to side with my well fitting side, since its the larger one of the two. additionally, the band now fits fine, but needed to be broken in with an extender first. i wasnt sure how to list that without it marking the bra as not fitting, so im ... going with how it fits now. the gore and straps are also technically too wide, but i seem to run into that everywhere, so im calling this a lesser evil.
technically, i think this cup may be too wide. i can wear narrower bras comfortably, and also the straps slide off from being too wide set. its still a ton better than most bras on me, so im dealing with it, but an ideal bra would be narrower, with closer straps, and an overlapping gore. the top of the right cup gapes a significant amount, probably a mix of that side being smaller and the straps being so wide that they get caught in my armpit and push the cup around. plus, the gore being too wide shoves the cup around and move how they fit.
the band on this was too tight for a while and needed and extender, but now is fine. i dislike the material of Freya half cup bands, because its a very thing stretchy elastic which lends itself to rolling, especially on squashier bodies like my own. instead of the two strips of thick elastic at the top and bottom of a thin stretchy elastic, i would love to see one uniform thick and firm material. i feel as though, when the band is the correct tension, i get heinous back fat.
im not a huge fan of the pattern, but this is one of my workhorse bras, so that doesnt matter much to me.

I like bras which are quite open on top.
Wish the wirrs would reach a nit more up under the arms.Updated on Aug 21, 2016 Flag this

This bra has by far the best lift I've ever seen in a bra. I love the fit, except for the center gore being slightly too high, and that only bothers me when I'm slouching. I expected it to be more of a special, "pretty" bra (which it is), but the support and the way it pulls all the tissue away from my armpits also makes it ideal for my very active job.
My only complaint is that the band elastic is a bit thinner than I would prefer. After 3-4 months on rotation with several other bras, the band is already getting pretty stretched out.Updated on Jul 15, 2016 Flag this

This was my favorite bra for a very long time. It's a touch to shallow at the wire, and my close-set breasts caused the top button to break in half, but it was never uncomfortable and only slightly quaddy.
It's no longer the right size, and I'm more discriminating about fit now, but for a non-Polish half-cup, this was fantastic.
Plus, those colors! How can you not smile?Updated on Jun 04, 2016 Flag this

I knew in my heart that this bra was likely to be not projected enough, but I still tried it because it was in my recommendations. I wish that someone had encouraged me to follow my gut and NOT try it, because now I am super sad that it doesn't fit well. The combination of wide wires and shallow cups causes me to spill out of the center and top of the cups, which is disappointing because this bra is ADORABLE. I love the colors and the pattern, and what's even more, I love the feel of the fabric, which is super soft and silky and feels awesome! I'm super picky about fabrics so this is saying something. Anyway, not a fit.

Oh yeah, I eyed that bra for a long time, wanting to try it but knowing it wouldn't work.
Comexim has the Comexim Free Time (270) in a nice plaid that reminds me of the Totally Tartan's blue colourway, though of course not the same. I've been considering it. -
There totally is a plunge model of totally tartan. It's model 1421 and will be narrower and more projected than the half cup model.

Need a 28 band. The 30 closes on the tightest hook straight out of the box and I know it will stretch. Very cute bra, I have the Zest pastel colors.
Edit: I definitely quad out of this, now that I know what a better fit is. Need an F, and a smaller band, so would need a 28FF if it was made. Unfortunately it's not, so as much as I looooove this bra, I sold it. The whole point of this bra fitting quest of mine is to own and wear bras that actually fit. Sigh. Another one bites the dust.This bra is not owned any more

Too bad this doesn't work for you! I do believe that there is also a totally tartan plunge that is supposed to be much more projected. I don't know if it's made from exactly the same fabric but I would expect do.
