My first 30 band!! (Although I will say, it seems a bit large to me for a 30 band, but anyway.) My bust shape (I think) is slightly shallow on top, wide, tall roots with full sides. This bra is mighty mighty comfortable, however, it is not actually padded but instead lined. Not a real deal breaker for me, but just a general heads up. Unfortunately, the cups wrinkle slightly at the top. I am uncertain if this is because I am not super full at the top of my bust, or if I need a smaller cup size, or if its the result of the bra being rather smushed in its packaging.

  Looks gorgeous on you! I used to worry about top of cup wrinkles, but no more. I'm shallow on top, too. If it is comfortable despite the few wrinkles, wear it proudly :-)

  Looks like an excellent fit!! :)
  To me, the wrinkles look like strain lines, rather than empty space, how they're angling toward the straps. Could be due to the straps being too tight. The band is arching up in the back in the center, and there are some pretty hard divots in your shoulders where the straps are. If you loosen the straps, do the wrinkles go away and does the band stay parallel to the floor?

  Love4Pollinators thank you so much! When I first saw the wrinkles I was thinking oh dang! Back it goes, but you're right. It may not be as much of a calamity as I was thinking
  Slava-Zone, thank you for pointing out my straps! They are way too tight! When I loosened them, there was still a some wrinkling, but I'm now thinking that it may not be an indicator of a horrible fit. Also noticing it fits better on the tightest band for me. Seems a bit big for a 30 band.

  i've noticed that Freya bras run large in the band. I usually wear a 32 band in other bras, but wear a 30 in Freya. maybe going down a band size to a 28, keep the cup volume, and loosen the straps. i have a great difficulty finding straps that don't dig in, even after loosening them a ton. if the straps don't hurt then yay! :)

  i thought freya in general was a stretchier brand. If you look at bras here in your size you can look at the stretched band measurement and see which ones run tighter/looser. also, most (decent, imported) brands consider 'padded' to mean lined with light foam, not the push-up-style padding that most US stores seem to like.

• Moriko thank you so much for letting me know! I'll try a 28 and see what happens!
  Dbmamaz good to know! I was all 'this itty-bitty lining is padding?!' I've got so much to learn I see

• actually in my size a lot of them are only lined on the bottom half of the cup, too. or bottom 2/3. the top panel is not lined at all

• Ended up taking the band in 2 inches and it fits like a dream! No more wrinkling at the top!!
