I LOVE this bra. The longline style band is comfortable and supportive, and the seaming on the cups (vertical rather than the typical diagonal) give me good lift and shape. The cups are padded enough for modesty, but don't add a lot of size. The retro styling makes me feel supported but sexy.

This is, without question, my favorite of the Freya bras I own, and I will definitely be checking out their other longline styles.

Bear in mind that there are only two columns of hooks, so there is less allowance for the band stretching out. I think that the fact that there is a lot more band than other bras will help mitigate any stretching, but it hasn't been long enough for me to know for sure.

Freya Edina Longline, 30F

Wire Length - 10"
Cup Seperation - 1"
Strap Width - 0.75"

I've been after this style for some time now. I had ordered it from HerRoom in a 30E but it cut in just a little bit. I exchanged for the F and the fit is a lot better. The smaller size really smooshed me down. This does not have as rounded of a look as the other Half-Cup styles, it's a little more pointy, but not nearly as bad as the unlined lace bras. The fit on this is pretty much similar ... to the Half-Cups Patsy and Daphne.

Pros:
Longline, more hooks offering better support around the back.
Lightly lined (not truely padded), so it's modest a bit.
Vertical seams for more supportive cups.

Somewhat Cons:
Not as rounded of a profile as I'd prefer, but it's not terrible.
Seams and lace detail are will show through shirts but it's very subtle.
The band is too big for me, it wrinkles up in the front just underneath the cups, I will be taking it in. But on someone with a larger frame this would fit great.
