    30F

    Didn't fit

    This bra feels like it was custom-made for me. It has great lift and gives a nice "rounded hills" look. I feel completely and securely supported in this bra. I only wish it came in unadorned nude and black too, so I could wear it with everything.

    Am I the only one who finds Freya cup sizes are all over the place? In their soft cup bras I swim in 30Es, but need to size up to 30F for their padded half-cups. It makes buying online a bit of a challenge.

    Update: I realized I was tightening the straps too much and they were digging into my shoulders. When I loosened them the cups were suddenly too big! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

    • Candid has such a cute pattern :-) So glad you found one that fits! I think your fit experience is similar to mine; one or two sizes larger in halfcups than unlined.

    • I also wear 3 different sizes in freya - 30E in the deco, 30F in the unlined styles, 30FF in halfcups. I'm short and narrow rooted, center heavy ans projected. The halfcups want a wider shallower boob, and deco leaves 2/3 of my breasts uncovered (but if i size up i get gaping due to my short projection).

    • I also wear 3 different sizes in Freya, depending on the style/model. You are definitely not alone........

      I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one having sizing issues with Freya.

    28GG

    Didn't fit

    Although this is listed as the same pattern as Pasty half cup, Candid fits differently:
    1. Candid has more immediate projection.
    2. Candid has more center projection near the lower part of the gore where I most need it.
    3. Candid's cup is taller near the strap.

    The pattern is adorable. The colors are vibrant, and the flowers abstract. I love flowers, insects, fish, mammals,....

    For me, Candid fit much better than Patsy. However, a 1.1" gore is .7" too wide for me. I am considering purchasing Candid in a 30G to allow band length for a gore-narrowing alteration.

    30E

    Fits

    I bought this in a 30F and it was love at first sight. Unfortunately I was over-tightening the straps, which masked the fact the cups were too big. I loved the bra so much that I bought it again in 30E and I'm so glad I did. I was worried I'd lose too much cup height by going down a size, but it's a perfect fit. The band is a true 30, nice and firm, and the cups fit me perfectly. They give a rounded, soft hills look. The bra is very comfortable and I feel supported.
