I love this bikini top! The fit is spot on, the color is awesome (hot pink!), and it's comfy. Another winner from Freya (I think I say that phrase too much). I have both this top and the bottoms in a medium (for reference, my behind is US 6/8 UK 10/12) and they cut into my hips too much and are not flattering. A large would be too big in the bum as I actually have a small behind to go along with my larger hips. I highly recommend this bikini top, and hope to purchase it in the pretty new Obsession color. As for the band, it's a bit on the tight side because when it gets wet it'll stretch.
Perfection. Not sure why so many people said this fit small. I had to size down 2 cups for this one. It really minimizes my boobs making me look much slimmer. I wish I bought it every color since no other bikini compares to the comfort and style of this one. When I first put it on it seemed way to small but after adjusting The cups stretch quite deep, and I didn't need to readjust. Great for full on bottom boobs. Great cleavage in this top. Love the bottoms too.
I love the shape of this bikini. I own many freya bikinis that all fit in a 34gg but I find this one fits huge. I ended up fitting this in a 34ff, and it is my favorite most flattering bikini just fit my full on bottom boobs way too big in this size.

Basic black Tankini. I sister sized up to a 38FF in hopes it would be looser in the hips. Because of that I felt the band wound up too loose, though the hip area wasa bit tight. I am curvy enough that this tankini wanted to roll a bit up from my hips toward the waist. (I am 46-34-50). I wish you could use both bra and hip measures for a suit. I was worried that it would be too plungey, but it was modest enough with a flattering top line. The cups were a tiny bit big on me- it seemed the underwires were a bit wider than the 36g that fit me well from Freya. The apex of the cups was a bit too high for me (short roots, FOB). Sending it back to try something else. This was my first order from HerRoom, and it was great. They shipped it super fast, and enclosed a return label and paperwork to make returns painless.
It's really nice this bikini top is a multiway. It can be worn with a knot in the neck, as well as with a cross on the back. I tried both the 28E and the 30F. The straps of the 28E were to short to cross them, but the 30F were perfect. I normally wear a 28E/F, and the cups seem to fit fine, except the straps running from the centre core to the neck-knot/cross digg in my breast tissue making it quadboob. Not to bad for a bikini, because I don't mind showing of a bit, but I think a cupsize bigger would be better. The bra isn't padded, which I prefer (I don't want to show it when I'm cold), but I shows less then other unpadded bikini's I tried. The ruffles give it a cute touch (and a bit of a boost for smaller boobs)

The straps of the 28E were to short to cross them, but the 30F were perfect. The shape in the 30F isn't as round as I prefer, maybe because it's a cupsize smaller than my normal size. The fact that's it's stretchable swimwear probable doesn't make it obvious the cup might be to big (it seems to fit, no wrinkling etc). A like the happy colours, very summery. The bra isn't padded, which I prefer (I don't want to show it when I'm cold), but I have an insert from another bikini I might add to it. The ruffles give it a cute touch (and a bit of a boost for smaller boobs)
The bra is pretty, although the cups look quite big on me. It gives a nice rounded shape and the cups are slightly padded, so me being cold doesn't show. The largest downside is the top of the cups that wrinkle as soon as I bend over, but it looks like that's a shape issue, more than a size issue (I have the same with most plunge bra's).
This swim top is very comfy, but not the right shape for me. The wires are quite wide, wider than Freya halfcups, but are firm. One might guess from the single vertical seam that the cups are shallow, but this is not the case, they are rather projected. The top edge is fairly closed which causes slight quadboob, but of course in a swimsuit that is also very functional and prevents anything from popping out or gaping.
The neck is an adjustable tie with nicely finished (sewn, not tied) ends. The band is not adjustable and has a plastic clasp. I find the band runs pretty loose, but again this is forgiveable in a swimsuit.
I really wanted this to work but it doesn't. It seems like a shape incompatibility. The fabric cuts across the outer edge of my boob, causing vertical quadboob, and forces the part that's inside the cup into a sort of triangle shape--not a good look!
I wonder if the problem would be fixed if I ordered a size up, but I don't know that I'm willing to take that risk if I'm going to have triangle boobs anyway.
Other than those problems, the top feels very secure and the coverage is good. The colors are BEAUTIFUL. I may try this in the plunge instead.
I love this bikini top so much! I have it in the black stripes. It's very flattering and gives great uplift and a nice, round shape. The fit is comparable to Freya's half-cup bras, but there is a single vertical seam and a firm piece along the top, which makes me think that the cup won't get too loose when it's wet.
The band is good and snug--no major stretch here.
I haven't yet worn this in the water, but I can't wait to do so!
This bra/swimtop is extremely comfortable, other than having this slanted plastic clip at the back that you have to angle in just so in order to close, and I always have problems getting it aligned before latching it (The clip is extremely comfortable and sturdy once you fasten it, and is probably well suited to staying on in the water).
It sortof "fits" but for my narrow ribcage and shoulders, the cups extend too far around my ribcage, halfway to my back (although of course it's not nearly so bad on me as the 34JJ was).
With my narrow shoulders, I would do much better if it had a ..."racerback" hook like some sports bras do.
I would not recommend this for people with a higher, rounder shape or narrower shoulders because this shape seems more geared to wider shoulders and build.
I rated it as "too much separation" because the cups extended so far out around my ribcage and that was my best guess for how to encapsulate that in the fit notes.
I don't think it is nearly as flattering on me as it could be, because of the preceding and because the center gore does not lie flat. For builds like mine it would need more fabric across the top edge of the cup. It did feel extremely comfortable, though.
I suspect that the non-adjustable band could pose a problem in time, but it feels great now.
If you are potentially interested in one, I would make sure to check here and other places for "real" pictures because the photos shown by Freya seem to have a very different appearance than the product does "in real life" (not least because they seem to show the shape of the version for the smaller cup sizes for both the smaller and larger sizes, even though the larger sizes are shaped differently)
Pros: I like the appearance of the "blue"(navy-ish) color top better than the "reef"(aquamarine). It can look slightly cheap when off but looks better on. It feels sturdy like it would be a real swim top (unlike some that are advertised as such). I find it extremely comfortable despite not really fitting and plan to keep it.
Cons: It can appear somewhat pointy. Doesn't fit my build; shoulders and cups too wide, giving me a sortof high "boxy" appearance, whileh center gore does not lie flat and top seam does not have sufficient material for me. I suspect that the lines on me would look better without the buttons to draw the eye outward although the buttons are otherwise cute and help signal that this is a bikini top not just a bra. One-band-size may become a problem over time.
I am not sure how to rate bra appearance below. The blue top itself I would rate "Good;" on me it was "Meh." Read more 361 more words
Lovely bra-style Bikini top, however stretchier band than in the Fever Plunge in the same size, and also less support in the cup. Still way better than any bikini top I previously owned. Band a bit loose (but doesn't ride up), but cups fit well.
I love this Bikini top! It's the first one I have that fits like a bra and is adjustable. The band is nice and snug (tighter than the same size on the Cha Cha) and the cups fit nicely. It creates nice but not too much cleavage. Bought two.
Bought as a back-up bikini for summer. And I love it! It fits me really well, which I was extremely surprised about as my shallow boobs haven't had good experiences with Freya.
Being a Freya, the band is slightly too loose on me. It's not an issue yet though, I might adjust it in the future.
This bra is great! I wish it were a tiny bit looser in the band but other then that it is perfecto! At first I was worried because the G cup seemed loose but after scooping and swooping more aggressively then usual I managed to fill it out. The gore initially really poked and hurt, but I just bent the wires a bit and now it is totally fine.
This bra gives a very nice shape, but I definitely notice the softness of my boobs when I'm wearing it, maybe because I've got a tiny bit of extra room.
I wish the band would stretch a little more, it is the only bad thing I noticed after prolonged wearing.
This bikini runs small. It's a good idea to size up in either cup or band size, even if you're shallow (e.g. you're a 30DD, pick 30E or 32DD). It runs small in the cups and tight in the band.
The tight band was definitely a surprise in a Freya bikini, since that brand is known for its stretchy bra bands.
Freya's Soft Triangle Bikini Tops fit well on wide root shallow boobs and even give some nice cleavage without flattening too much.
