My shape is low set, short and narrow rooted, and soft.

I thought this bra looked summery and pretty in the pictures. I bought it from Belle Lingerie. It reminds me of my 30F - Bravissimo » Esther Longline Bra (LN354) except not a longline. I am recently trying 28" bands since I lost weight and my 30" bands are feeling a little unsupportive lately. This one, however, stretches to about 30". Although it felt fine and I could wear it like that on a tighter hook, it didn't feel snug like I hoped.

This is called a half cup, but it's cut more like a balconette (4 part cup construction), and I get more of a balconette shape in this (not as rounded/cakes on plates). I do get some quad boob in this, especially on my larger side (which is most obvious in the side profile picture), and it's not great for centre tissue. The gore is a bit wide as well, and I get some side boobage escaping because the wings are too short on my tall, low set frame. There's no chaffing though, so it would be fine for someone who doesn't need really tall wings.

The great thing about this bra is that it is really super comfortable right out of the box. I'm debating if I should keep it or return it. I love the wide straps (which are fully extended to try and get rid of the quad boob). It's close to fitting, but I'm at my smallest right now and still getting quad boob, so I'm not sure if I'll reach for it if I keep it. I already checked and they do have it in 28G, so I may do an exchange....we'll see.... The band just might be too loose on this one for me.

This bra is not owned any more

• Yeah Freya bands can run stretchy. It’s cute. But I see the wide gore. Yikes I bet it fits you like a balconette due to the height of the cups. That has happened to me before.

• Calluna They do have it in a 28G, so I'm gonna wait until my Comexims arrive and then decide if I try it in a larger cup. If they do, I'll order it as a set.
  It's not just that it fits me like a balconette, but it doesn't have the cut of a half cup. Typically half cups don't have that upper horizontal section. In the description they call it a balcony and a half cup, so who knows. All the balconettes/balcony bras I've tried have that 4 part cup construction.

• Oh that bra looks so nice on you! Shame it didn’t fit as expected.
  I wish I can wear Freya’s :( their wires always cause me but of pain, sane as panache :(

• Thanks martka00 . I'm not sure if 28G will be too big, but I want to try it. This bra was really really comfortable, so it would be worth it I think. The wires don't usually bother me in freya for some reason.

• I love this fabric--so pretty. Hope your Comexims fit

• Thanks Love4Pollinators , I'm looking forward to tearing into that box and trying them on !

  I ended up finding a 28G on ebay (still from belle lingerie) but for several dollars cheaper than from their site direct, so I ordered it to try it. Fingers crossed it works. I have a feeling I'm back to being just the right size to be between sizes again though, so the 28G is probably going to be too loose. We'll see.
