The tips about this bra running large in the band and the cup are definitely true. Normally I wear a 30GG or so in unpadded Freya bras, but the 28H I ordered for comparison had wrinkling in the top section even after judicious swooping and scooping. And while the bra is a bit too tight for me on the loosest hook, it's certainly not as tight as I'd expect. If I keep this bra, I'll probably be wearing this with an extender until it stretches.

The straps are nicely soft and wide, and while I think I'll have strap slipping issues, I have sloping, slightly narrow shoulders, so I have that problem with every bra.

The center gore sat better on me than I'd expect of a Freya balcony-- they usually come up too high for my close-set boobs-- but it didn't sit as firmly against me as I'd like. It felt like the band was holding the underwires a tiny bit forward of my breasts, especially in the middle inch of the gore.

The comfort was pretty good. The cups are fully lined, so you pretty lace details on the bra without having to feel the lace against your skin. The straps, as I said, are very comfortable. That said, something about the feel of the materials just wasn't as nice as my Freya Ada, which is my current gold standard for comfort.

This bra gives me a slight double boob on my larger side, especially right after a swoop and scoop. I feel like the top section of the cup just doesn't quite agree with the shape of my larger boob-- it cuts in most in the middle and toward the center gore. It's not obvious through the soft cotton tops I usually wear, but it kind of worries me.

This bra is not owned any more
