Freya. Whyyyyyyyyyy. Why do you do this to us? I am heartbroken about this bra because I LOVE the aesthetics of it but it fits so horribly that it is unflattering and I'll have to return it.

The transparent mesh is comfortable and sexy. The houndstooth is based on a cream color, not a pure white, which adds sophistication. The upper cup portion has rainbow metalic thread woven into the houndstooth detail that glitters gold, teal, and magenta. Houndstooth. Houndstooth. Houndstooth. Sparkle. Houndstooth. Styled bows. :https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_confused.gif" alt=":s" />obs quietly::

The wires are nice and narrow. That is a about all there is to say in favor of the way this bra is sized. The sides are a little too low-coverage for my prefernce as is typical of Freya plunges but I would have forgiven that.

What really breaks this bra is the cup depth and how closed on top the cups are. With a 7.75" cup depth, I would say this 28D bra might fit someone who measures 28DD or 28E, assuming they could deal with the narrow wires and closed-on-top shape. I get a little bit of digging in / quadboob at the top immediately after putting the bra on but it does settle down quickly so you can't see it in the photos.

I might write a letter to Freya. I want 28D and similar sizes to remain available but I'm worried that they'll see low sales numbers and discontinue those sizes. If they could do the scaling/cut a bit differently, I'll bet a whole bunch of us would run out right now and buy this bra.

This bra is not owned any more

  This one is pretty deep for its size, just compared to the Arabella in the next size up:

• erispe that is a good point! I wonder if I got a mislabeled or mutant bra. Although I had the same experience with 28D - Freya » Totally Tartan Plunge Balcony Bra (1421). Hmmmmmm.

  The Arabella is actually in my official Bratabase recommendations. I might try that one next!

  I love that bra. But seeing it on you tells me it won't fit me, in a way I'd like. I can tell it would be too closed on top, and I'd probably have that little bit of space to the upper side of the apex.
  *if* you didn't pay a lot for that bra, I'd suggest altering the cups (by taken it in on the seam where the upper piece meets the lower pieces); that's also if you really wanted to keep the bra.

• I guess that would happen for me with Freya plunges, too. I heard all these unpadded plunges to have really deep cups, so I tried Fauve Chloe plunge, noticed that there was way too much cup for my breast and stayed away from Fauve and Freya plunges.
  I guess they are made having a different type of breast in mind.

• This is exactly how the Vixen fit on me as well, and I was trying on a 30G. The cups were so deep, but closed on top. I loved the look of it too. :( I wish Freya balconettes fit differently.

• Uhh, hate to say it now - for some reason Eveden designs for my shape. Freya/Fauve balconettes especially.

• I had the exact same problem with this bra and basically all Freya plunges that are from the past 4 years. I've had better luck with their older designs, though!

  I noticed that you also have the gap in the side of the cup above the wire, by the armpit. This is another Freya habit and it annoys me so much and I don't know why they do it :(
