I bought this bra for one reason. It's yellow. Not neon yellow... a nice, soft, lemon yellow, and there is a serious lack of yellow bras on the market that might fit someone with projection. I intentionally picked a 30 band because gateway backs tend to make me look like the Michelin man. I was hoping to avoid having 4 back rolls and this band accomplishes that while still staying secure on the middle hooks.

I've gathered from reviews of the Fancies padded half cup longline that it's a generally terrible bra with very flexible wires and zero projection. Thankfully I can report the ... unlined plunge version is much sturdier. I'm aware a lot of Freya plunges require a very specific shape and I expected this to wrinkle at the apex while cutting into my upper root but it really doesn't do that. In all honesty, this is one of my better technical fits which was a sweet surprise. It's not as comfortable as an Ewa or even a CK, but it is Freya and I didn't expect the world here. Very narrow wires, very good immediate depth. Very wide gore. I'm splayed and it's short so it doesn't bother me although if it was any taller it would and it would bother a lot of people who are close-set all the way to the IMF. The gateway back is fun and a little more delicate to look at so I've let it show with strappy back shirts without feeling like I'm telling the world HEY, HERE'S MY BRA BAND.

I know this bra, with its wide keyhole gore and single hook band, isn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea. But it satisfied my craving for a pastel yellow summery bra on the cheap via Amazon so I'll keep it around.

Fits true to size, the band is quite snug, the cups are deep an narrow. The elastic on the upper edge cuts in a little, but it's not visible under clothes

It fits so well it feels too good to be true. The cups perfectly encapsulate me, offering support underneath and holding everything in place without squishing anything. When I first put it on, the band and gore felt a tiny bit snug but not uncomfortable, but throughout the day they seemed to become “broken in” and there were periods where I definitely forgot I had it on. I can feel the lace texture when I think about it, and the pressure of the gore and band sometimes when I bend over or take a deep breath, but even then, it’s not uncomfortable. I laid down on my stomach ... for a while, rolled over onto my side for a while, and then got up and went about my business without adjusting any part of my bra. That has never happened to me!
And it’s gorgeous. It gives me a great outline, and under a fitted t-shirt, the lace doesn’t show at all, which I was worried about. Obviously beautiful without a shirt too.
I feel like I’ve won the lottery on this one, I’m seriously considering filling my closet with these. All of that being said, I did wear this bra for one (1) day, but if it’s as sturdy as I hope, I could easily stock up on these.

This bra wasn’t quite right for me, I do love the stretch lace, the color and the fun gate back. But I had quadding. I have relatively high and soft tissue and almost all the cups with an elastic line end up with this cutting in on me.

This bra is beautiful. It has lots of projection, but sadly, the wires are too narrow for me.
