Did not fit. Major quadboob. Makes a flattened and pointy shape. Too much of a plunge style cups, but without the lift. Band a bit large.

Cute but way too shallow. There isn't enough immediate projection anywhere for me, and I end up quadding out constantly even though when I initially put it on there is none.

Although the cup width measures 6" from wire to wire, when the bra is on and hooked, it pulls the wires out under my arms. So, the underwires end up being wider than my boobs. Since the wires are not rigid, they can be bent in a little, which helps give a little extra depth in the cup. The cups are very low and expose a lot of upper boob. Probably better for wide root, shallow boobs that have some firmness. It's not a good fit for me, but I still wear it mostly around the house or to run errands.

I'm not sure where I read that this runs a cupsize small, but it definitely doesn't. I'm normally a 28F, and this is at least 1/2cup too big for me. I'll be reordering in the correct size. From what I can tell, this has roots that are slightly too wide (so probably avg-narrow width) for me, and the straps are too wideset for my narrow shoulders.

I was very excited to get this bra because my friend in a different size swears by it. For reference I'm a 28e, somewhat shallow, wide rooted and even to bottom full, often end up in 30dd because 28 bands are hard to come by.
This bra wants way more upper fullness than I have. Also the bottom is extremely shallow which is fine for me but seems like a strange fit. The wires are nice and wide. It has a leotard back and the straps are fully adjustable, which is great for those of us with very long or very short torsos. I have the black and purple colorway and I love it but the fit didn't work for me.

Update: so what I took for this bra asking for more upper fullness might just be that it wants more projection in general but with a high apex. The cup depth is bigger than what I usually wear but since it's so shallow at the bottom, i wasn't able to tell

The Marvel is my current favorite everyday bra. I have two in this White and Aqua colorway, one in nude, and one in the black-purple. The bra looks fairly seamless under clothes, and the circle pattern is really cute without being juvenile. The wires are wider than I need in the 30F, but I'm currently having a bit of cutting in at the top in the 30E. I wear both depending on the time of month. I would say this fits similar to the Freya padded 3-part cups, but not as open at the top. Also, it's unlined.

I really wanted this bra to work for me - I love this fabric, it's nice and stretchy, not too thick or thin, and cute! But, the cups are just too wide and shallow for me. It gives a great shape under clothes, and side support is awesome, except the straps are so far apart on me that I don't think I'm getting any side support anyway. I keep thinking I can make this work somehow, but I'm pretty sure it's useless. Sad face.

I think today is the day I've realized I need narrower wires, not wider.

Ugh, what a horrible shape this gives me. Very east/west. Not enough lift. I think I am too narrow and projected for this bra. Seems like it may be more suited for shallow, wider shapes. Also, although it is beige, it isn't a good t-shirt bra, the seams show through. So, for me, a failure on all fronts.

A well-made soft cup bra in must-have wardrobe beige. Invisible under clothes, nice wide & firm straps, just an all-round daily gem of a bra. Supportive without feeling confining, and the side panels really help to bring in side tissue. True to size. At the beginning of my ABTF journey Marvel was recommended and I thought it fit and looked great, plus being incredibly comfortable for hours of wear. After (entirely too many!) different bras and discovering Polish cuts, I have realized that the Marvel is incompatible with my shape: narrow, close & high-set, immediate projection, even 2/5 shading toward FOB. Probably because of the wider gore, Marvel gives me a noticeable east-west shape and does not provide the uplift or centering that I now know I prefer. Funny how we learn our shapes and preferences bit by bit!

Ahhh, the Freya Marvel...like a breath of fresh air for your boobs!! If only it fit me! I got this from another user as an exchange. I was looking for something soft, comfy, unpadded, but NOT sheer, and pretty supportive. I think the Marvel is exactly just that! Super soft and comfy, and I see it as being supportive in correct size.

I usually go with 28 bands but figured a 30 in Freya would work just as well. Not so much. The band on this isn't nearly as tight as other Freya 30 bands usually are. I had to hook it on the tightest hook and eye ... from the start and tighten the straps a good bit. Luckily, they are fully adjustable and thick as all Freya bras are.

I am not too crazy about the wires on this one. They were far too wide, which is odd because the measurements are exactly what I usually go with. But they ran all the way out to my sides under my armpits! For being a "Side Panel/Support" bra, I found it somewhat awkward. You can see in my pics, on my left smaller breast there is wrinkling under my arm in the side panel. But on my right larger breast you can see the clear definition of where my boob actually starts to fill out the cup and where there is empty fabric on the side, if that makes any sense. The cups were also rather short and I'm almost worried that if I go down in size my nipples will pop out. There was also a good half inch of empty space at the bottom of the cup before my boobs actually started to fill them out.

The gore on this bra is pretty high/tall compared to what I'm used to. But, surprisingly, it didn't really bother me. It tacked just right and fit quite nicely.

This isn't the sexiest, most flattering bra in my wardrobe. It's actually quite plain and simple (this is the nude colorway). But, after trying it on with a shirt, I was pretty darn amazed!! What a lovely shape!! This bra gives a wonderful, round, natural kind of shape...no pointy boobs at all!! Yay, unless you prefer that look. But I think the shape it gives under clothes makes up for the boring aesthetics of it all. I think this would make a great summer bra, nice and light, no bulkiness (the seams did show thru slightly, tho). This bra might not be good for FOB as there wasn't any real immediate projection and it seems like it may cause the top of the cup to wrinkle or gape.
