This bra was very cute and sheer, but unfortunately both a size (or two?) too small as well as cut for a more full on bottom shape. The band also ran quite firm - unusual for Freya - so some women will probably need to size up in the band.

If you're full on bottom with little upper fullness, this could be a great bra for you, but I warn women with wider, "squatter", roots that this bra can make the breasts look a bit wedge-like from the side.

This is a beautiful bra! This was not comfortable for me. It gave me quadding on top. I felt like it was poking under my arms but yet I also felt like I had tissue spilling out. The gore felt too high and pushed against one of my breasts and kind of twists to the side because of my close set breasts.

Sister-sized down from a 32H, which seemed to fit in the cups but was too big in the band. But now that the band fits and the cups are CLEARLY too big. I love this bra but I cannot get the size to work.

Aaaaah. I love this bra.

1. It sits right at the root of my breast. It perfectly fits my bottom-heavy breasts, which sometimes get orange-in-a-glass even in too-big bras
2. Minimal wrinkling across the tops, which is often a problem even in bras that fit.
3. Band is perfect.
4. Straps are fully adjustable. Yay!
5. Wires are exactly the right height for me under my arms.
6. Gore tacks beautifully.

In summary: This is the perfect bra for my bottom-heavy, soft breasts, and it's sized well. I don't know if I ever want to take it off again. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />


EDIT: After 2 months of wearing this, the band is definitely a little looser than I wish it were. I wear it on the tightest hook. I am on the small side of 32 (many 30s are painfully tight, but many 32s are just a liiiiiiittle on the loose side) and if/when I get this bra again I will definitely do so in 30HH.

I purchased this bra in my normal size 32H. I would say that the band is firm but not uncomfortably tight - the cups are the correct size - no gaping or quad boob on show. Whilst this bra offers great support, I personally don't like the slightly pointy shape (in common with most Freya bras) this gives me - I prefer a more rounded shape - hence this bra just isn't for me.

This bra is very similar to the Freya Arabella, but it actually fits a bit better. Material is a bit rougher, but it is pretty. Wish it came in white!

I ordered this bra from another Bratabase user, unfortunately it's a little too big in the cup for me. I have been figuring out my size between 30 G and GG, and it appears that with Freya I'm a G, but in everything else I wear GG/H.

The odd thing about this bra is that even though the cups are too big: loose fabric at the top of the cup; I am FoB, and the cup depth is a good inch bigger than my body. Yet the top seam of the cup lays tight against my chest/pec area.

Otherwise it is a beautiful and elegant bra, I'm very sad it didn't fit me!

This bra is the perfect depth for my full on bottom, lots of projection boobs. I also have really soft breast tissue, but this bra seems to keep it in place. The wires are quite wide, I probably have about an inch of extra fabric that my breast tissue doesn't even reach. I don't see this as a big deal (as of right now) they aren't uncomfortable and they don't dig in unless you wear them for 6+ hours. Now, I ordered a 32 band, but it stretches to nearly 37in, this is pretty good for me because I'm making the transition from 32 to 34 so it's ... really comfy. But, I suggest going down a bandsize, the stretch can be a bit much.

Sadly, I can't completely fill out the top of the cup. The lace wrinkles a bit, but the top seem cuts into breast tissue (how does that work?!). I will most likely be altering the lace applique when I find the time. This gives great support and lift, the cups aren't very round, but they have a lovely natural shape. I'll be keeping this bra.

This bra is too small on me. Because it doesn't fit the shape is REALLY pointy. It has a reputation for being great for full on bottom boobs. Freya in general also has a rep for having slightly more narrow and deeper cups than Panache and Curvy Kate. Probably not as narrow as Ewa.

This bra is sheer in G- cupsizes. In GG+ there is an extra layer of mesh. This is still relatively see through when held up to light, but once you put the bra on you can't tell it's sheer at all.
