I read some rave reviews about this cut, some of them saying it might be better to size down in the cup. I’m between 30e and 30f now, but most of my 30e doesn’t fit me anymore, besides some Freya bras. Therefore I thought it would be safe to order this one in 30e.
Well, this cut does run large in cups but not a whole size or at least not on me.
It’s actually hard to say if it fits as there seem to be a kind of shape mismatch. This bikini top features some of Freya characteristics I particularly dislike and which definitely convinced me to stick with EM bras:
- The underwires are shorter than the channels. I don’t understand why they always put shorter underwires. In my case it causes a lack of support.
- The part of the cup between the strap attachment and the outer underwire’s end is very long, too long for me and it wrinkles.
- The upper part of the band is too long and it doesn’t stay put.
This bra just doesn’t seem to be made for my shape and proportions. The cups cut in (the quad boob decreases with wear though, it’s less dramatic than of the pics) but I don’t think a bigger cup would be fine since there’s already too much room under my armpits. It’s important to note that the cup material is more or less stretchy.
Other than that, the band is rather standard. I have a Freya Supernova bikini top in 30F which is super tight and extremely uncomfortable. This one is much looser but still firm and supportive. I think it’s ok for a bikini top but would be definitely too loose for an everyday wear. The elastics in the band seem large enough to not cut in.
This bikini isn’t a perfect fit but will try it in the water before deciding if it’s wearable or not.
