Freya Fancies was one of my favorite bras when I was a solid 28DD, thanks to the fact that it's pretty, comfortable, and comes in a beautiful assortment of colors. It took me a few tries to find the correct size as I started my journey with a 28D that I didn't immediately realize was too small and altered and wore for a while before switching to 28DD. However, since I have gone up a cup size in recent months, I noticed the 28DD's wires were too narrow and cutting in on the sides, and the closed top would dig into my roots. I decided ... to size up to the 28E, and I'm glad it still works for me! This review is specifically to discuss how the 28DD fit me, as I am currently a 28E, and my review under 28E is more comprehensive regarding the bra itself.

When I was a true 28DD, my shape was less rounded than it is now, and I was more FOB with a shallower top. I would have trouble at the time filling out the upper cup of other styles, like many other Freya plunges (Fearne, Sansa) and most of the Cleo/Panache bras I tried. This bra surprised me because it actually gave me a really nice rounded shape, very different from the pictures posted here of others wearing the 28D-DD-E size range and looking deflated. The measurements on this bra run deeper than similar size bras, but I believe it's due to the tall plunge cups, since my normal size has always worked for me in this bra.

The wires needed more adjustment for me in this size, however. The 28DD wires tend to have a strong J shape, and I need more C shaped wires. I always had to reshape them if they came in very J to open them up more, and I now realize that it's because the wires were too narrow for me and I really needed something wider. Thankfully the cup shape still worked for me once. the wires were opened up, and the 28DD was a great depth on me. So, I think this bra would suit both narrow and wider breasts as the wires are easy to adjust.

The band runs big, however, so while it works for me, it's hardly what I would call snug. If possible, I'd recommend sizing down in the band and sister sizing up to your normal cup size's equivalent. However, the shape of the cups really suits a round shape best, so I would not recommend this style if you are very shallow or if you are empty on top. It is a super comfortable bra and I love it for summer. Highly recommended if it suits your shape!

Freya Fancies was one of my favorite bras when I was a solid 28DD, thanks to the fact that it's pretty, comfortable, and comes in a beautiful assortment of colors. It took me a few tries to find the correct size as I started my journey with a 28D that I didn't immediately realize was too small and altered and wore for a while before switching to 28DD. This review is specifically to discuss how the 28D fit me, as I am currently a 28E, and my review under 28E is more comprehensive regarding the bra itself.

At the time of purchase, I was trying to figure ... out my bra size and did not know how Freya bras would fit. It was my first 28 band, so I didn't realize immediately that the band on this particular bra is too loose and almost +1" longer on the flat than normal. The cups didn't fit me like I expected them to in pictures, and the upper cup was too empty, so I mistakenly assumed the bra was the wrong shape for me and subsequently altered the bra to lower the top cup and make it more open. I later realized this is because the cups were too small and this was a classic example of the orange in a glass effect.

In hindsight, the wires were clearly too short and the cup width was also too short. I had been wearing 32B bras and was used to the appearance of tiny demi cups, so I didn't realize how poorly this fit. However, in my experience this bra does run true to size, so I would say it should work for someone who is a true 28D, specifically with a larger ribcage as Freya bands in general are stretchy and run large. However, the shape of the cups really suits a round shape best, so I would not recommend this style if you are very shallow or if you are empty on top. It is a super comfortable bra and I love it for summer. Highly recommended if it suits your shape!

The bra seemed comfortable if I had been able to fill it out. I'm sure it is a great bra for someone of a different size and shape.

SO this was the first Bra That Fit ("Fit") that I ever owned. Before, I had been wearing ill-fitting VS 34DDDs with gores floating, like, an inch off of my sternum that *still* gave me quadboob. So I have a special fondness for this bra as the first one I ever wore where the gore actually tacked close to my sternum, lol. I almost actually cried.

However. Several months later and a better understanding of what a good bra should feel like later, I have to conclude that this bra is *slightly* ill-fitting. The band is a little loose; the gore-- and let me just say that I prefer to have my gores very closely tacked-- floats off of my sternum by probably a quarter of an inch, I get a bit of weird wrinkling in the bottom of the cup, and when I stand up properly, I have a bit of quadboob even when the gore floats. So honestly, I probably would have better fit into a 30G. However! It's a lovely bra, and very comfortable.

Uncomfortably tight band

Me: 30F/32E. Center full, close set, relatively even when supported, tall-ish roots. Not particularly narrow - average to wide roots. Soft tissue. Shoulders are on the slightly narrow side so some balconettes have straps that are too wide for me.

Keyhole back one with only one hook didn't feel less supportive so that's cool. Band is very stretchy/loose out of the box so I tried wearing it on the tightest hook. Discomfort around gore/wires - I think they’re rubbing on tissue because they’re sitting on it, a common problem for me. Also the upper section of the cup cut into my tissue (tall roots thing). The depth of the cup/overall shape was good - depth where needed at the bottom and apex.

The wire channels have a nice amount of padding. I wish this one had worked!
