I am currently between sizes 28E and 28F, so I decided to order a couple of 28F styles to try. However, I miscalculated and forgot that while Freya's side support styles run a half size to a size small, their unlined plunges actually run about a half size to a size large (their padded styles tend to be TTS). Therefore, the 28F and 30E unlined plunges I purchased are both far too big on me.
Florri is a beautiful older style that I was able to pick up from Amazon. It is a pretty standard Freya unlined plunge, with a 3 piece cup that ... is on the taller side and designed for upper inner fullness. Currently, the 28E in this cut still fits me pretty well, because my size gain has been mostly upper tissue. I would recommend staying with your normal size if you are balanced, and sizing down if possible depending on wire width if you are shallow on top for this cut.
The band here is TTS and I have no complaints, it feels good and stays in place. The band is made of printed powermesh so that the design runs throughout the bra, and it has a gentle leotard back. Overall, construction is pretty standard for the printed unlined plunge, with single layer silky printed fabric making up the bottom of the cup, and lace backed mesh making up the upper cup. The print is really cute, with pink, coral, orange, and yellow wildflowers and green leaves on a white background. It reminds me of wildflowers, but the colors are more vivid, like desert blooms. A cute and springy design that I would love to keep! The upper cup lace is also beautiful, being made of an intricate feather-like design. The mesh used on this upper cup has no mechanical stretch, and the upper cup edge is also rigid, so it may cut into upper tissue if you have tall roots and a lot of upper fullness.
Styling is kept simple on this bra, with white trims throughout. The straps are made from medium width elastic with an intricate pattern and wide scalloped edges. There is no fabric topped onto the straps, so it makes adjusting much easier. The only trim is a small bow with a circular center charm at the gore, which I don't hate despite being one of Freya's infamous random metal charms. The design is clean, pretty, and cohesive. I really like the appearance of this bra, and I hope to hunt down another one for my collection in the right size and fit!
