Didn't fit

This bra is wrong size to me, too big in cups and too big in band.

30HH

Didn't fit

I basically had the same fit issues with the Marina as with the Freya Ivy I reviewed in 28J:
http://www.bratabase.com/browse/freya/ivy-balcony-bra-1332/28J/?system=UK

Except the band was obviously too big. The straps were rather easy to adjust, but way too long for me.

I think the pattern of the cups is gorgeous and I love the colourway, but the straps and the fastening add too much purple to the bra for me.
If you like purple, though, you will probably love the bra.

32H

Didn't fit

I had been lusting after this bra since before it was released, but wanted to wait for a sale... and I am very disappointed as this was a terrible fit on me! I have worn Freya before, but only in their half cups.

Good: The colours on the Marina are beautiful. It's just gorgeous looking. The bra is incredibly comfortable, even on the tightest hook (I probably would have been better off in a 30J, which I wear in Curvy Kate's Showgirl range). The centre gore is narrow (one of the reasons why I thought it would work for me), the wires don't come up high ... so they won't poke and I can see the material being very comfortable to wear on a long day.

Bad: Centre gore poked out, terrible quadboob and wrinkling at the bottom of the cups. I also got this odd long wrinkle down the top half of the cup. I think the shape is just completely wrong for me and the material is not malleable enough to mould to my shape properly. If I went up to a 32HH or 30J to help with the centre gore and quadboob problems, the wires would be too wide and I would still get wrinkling in some parts anyway.

If I were fuller on bottom and less so on top, can see this working a lot better.
