this is part of an amazon order that i plan on returning, so ive only been able to try it on and not wear it for long periods of time. ive been thinking for a while now that my 32FF/34F bras are getting overspill, and this pretty much proves it. also, im starting to question what i thought was my need for narrow wires- these are just 6 inches and dont seem too wide at all. ive been thinking i need 5.5 inches because bras with even 5.75 inch wires have empty space, and so do most of the 6 inch bras ive added, but maybe it was ... more about the shape of the underwires in those failures. again, i havent been able to wear it for real, and extended wear time is when i usually start to notice issues with width.
as always, the right cup has some gaping because of that breast being shallower and wider. the gore being too wide is also contributing to that- it wants to buckle or scoot to one side, and it usually the right side. i think if i narrowed the gore, it would take care of the gaping. its most severe when my arms are brought forward. it should be noted, this cup does have what appears to be a horizontal seam across the top. i dont notice any cutting in on me, so it still seems to function like a halfcup, but it does bring the cup closer to the body.
i usually bounce between a 32 and 34 band, and the 32 band here feels snug but not uncomfortable on the first set of hooks. i dont notice any wire warping, but i may get this in a 34FF just to be sure, as my measurements suggest that a 33inch band should be too small or at the very least uncomfortably tight. most of the time, the bands on freya half cups are too big with a 34 band, or they fit but only on the tightest hook.
the straps are farther apart on this, because its a half cup, but they dont seem to be falling off my shoulders. that's another thing i dont usually notice until i wear a bra for a while though, so im not sure how i would fare if i wore it during activity. the material of the straps is a nice, smooth fabric and on the thicker side.
looks wise its a pretty cute bra. the straps are polka dot, as well as the top of the cups. the floral pattern is interspersed with cursive writing and some geometric shapes, which makes for a very refreshing take on floral.
im returning this mostly because i cant afford it right now, and i had made this order specifically as a feeler on if my size has changed and not for purchasing. i will look for more in this size and style on sale, and hopefully add it to my bra wardrobe!
