I bought this because I love a longline bra. I have the non-longline Fancies in a 30F and the band fits right, initially I bought this one in a 30F assuming the fit would be similar. However, this model bra only has 2 hooks instead of the usual 3 and the 30F felt far too tight. It looks like most Freya longlines are like this but I can't work out why. It gave me pretty bad back fat rolls which were obvious under clothes. My husband even agreed with me it didn't look good and he's usually pretty blind to things like that!

As I really liked the ... way it looked, I decided to sister-size to a 32E but having worn this a few times, I can tell that the band is a little loose. The wires in this bra are too wide for me, this can be seen on the photo. I have also tried 32DD and 30E and the cup didn't have enough depth for me in either of those sizes. The wires also come up too high at the front and dig into my breast tissue. It's painful and I struggle to wear this for a whole day. In hindsight, I should have returned this.

About this Bra

Purchasing:
* $39.94 on Amazon with free Prime shipping & returns (not Amazon Wardrobe)
* available in black, white, beige, and some fun colors

Band:
* Made of a stretch mesh with a stretch lace overlay. Lace stretches horizontally only. Mesh has 2-way stretch.
* Elastic at top of band.
* Wing support: soft seaming
* Continuous band - band is straight under the wires -- a short longline (this won't provide any waist shaping).
* Additional seaming (not reinforced with boning) under each apex to keep band flat (spoiler: doesn't work).
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* smooth elastic
* soft (don't stand up on their own)
* full adjust
* ... straight back (not a leotard back)

Cups:
* 3 seam (4-piece) half cup
* Underwire is unpadded but can barely feel.
* Outer fabric is a lace that stretches horizontally only.
* Structure comes from a very thin layer of opaque, non-stretch foam. These cups are just barely molded.
* Slightly unusual construction: Lace and foam were cut and sewn separately. They are attached only at the wire and top edge -- not at cup seams.


Fit

About me: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* wide-set (3 fingers width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares

Band:
* length: tight, took a couple of attempts to fasten on loosest hook
* wings: too short, boobs escape
* no axillary skin spillage

Gore: Comfortable, tacks, good spacing, height fine.

Cups:
* Gives an oval shape.
* Wires too narrow.
* Top of cup is smooth.

Straps:
* Feel wide set but don't slip.
* adjust short enough

Comfort & Fit Summary
* Band too small, cups too narrow.
* Didn't try other sizes, not sure why.
