I've had this bra for about a month now and I think it's time for my first review! This was my first correct-ish sized bra, which I picked up at a Nordstrom Rack. Selection there was slim, so this bra isn't what I would have picked otherwise, but out of all the ones I tried, it fit the best.

The bra is comfy, and the fabric is nice. I really like the little bit of lace on the edges of the cups, because it's sweet and doesn't show through my shirts at all. The cute green color with the white polka dots has also grown on me quite a bit even though green is not a color I wear often. It gives me a very round shape, which I like. Occasionally I think it almost looks a bit squarish, but under clothes it looks great.

As far as size, I am now, a month later, pretty sure that I would have a better fit with a smaller band and maybe even a larger cup. At the time of purchase, I had some pretty bad sunburn on my back, so I felt the bands of all my bras quite acutely, and since this one was slightly tighter than what I was used to, I felt it the most! Now, however, after having acquired a Panache Andorra in the same size, I see what all the bloggers mean when they say that Freya bands run loose. I've started wearing the Patsy on the tightest hook, because it rides up less and feels better than way.

Another thing I'd like to mention is that the straps, within a few wears, became scrunched/folded up at the front, near where they attach to the cup. I think this is due to the location, right where my armpit would pinch over it when I move my arms forward. This hasn't affected the comfort or look of the bra.

To sum up, this bra is a hit with me. Even though the band could be tighter, I feel that it was a great introduction to what is close to my real size.
