A few major issues with this one for me. The gore is painful- it digs into my sternum. I can't honestly tell if it is because it is too high or too low. The underwire on this bra is very firm and thick so I can't bend it away. The udnerwire goes too far under my arms toward my back which means there is space in the side of the cup that my breast tissue isn't in. I'm also getting some wrinkles in the lower cup where the underwire and my inframammary fold don't align right. Finally, the straps are set too wide for me.

Overall, not a winner for me.

This bra has one of the best fit's I've tried. A long time ago when I was many sizes smaller Freya bras were my go to, and it's nice to see it's still a good shape match. Best part of this for me is the narrow cups and the short underarm, it helps avoid underwire poking into my armpit which is a problem with almost every bra I try. The one complain I have is the core feels like its poking slightly inward at the top. It's not painful, but I do feel it throughout the day and it leaves a mark after hours of wear. Lace and color is nice, the straps being a different color is quirky but fine. This is definitely a keeper and I'll probably order more.

This one is too wide for me in the cups- the “side support” sits completely outside of my breast tissue, and the wires are in my armpits. The gore is narrower than I need (wires touching at tip) and coupled with the wide wires, it wants to cross over itself, but there is space between my breast tissue and the inner wire. The wire slips down below where it is supposed to be, and dig into the top of my ribs. I’ve got a shallow IMF, and if I thought this fit otherwise, I might try to straighten the wires some, but it’s just a no-go.

However! It’s got great projection right at the wires, it almost has a bit of downward give. I’ve tried so many brands, and this one is the closest to a good shape fit, better than the polish bras I’ve tried, if the cups were only narrower and the gore wider.

Didn’t work great for me but I think it’s a sizing issue? The bra itself is lovely. I found the gore a little high and annoying, which I’m finding is often the case for me. Slightly more of a pointed/torpedo shape than I would like. The band looks like it fits well but it kind of moves around on me a bit. I feel like it's really hard to get this in my IMF, but once it is there it doesn't migrate too much (might also be a fitting issue?). If you’re a larger cup size and have problems with gores rubbing or being uncomfortable this is probably not the one for you.

I love the peacock blue color of this bra, but it just did not have enough immediate projection for me. It sat below my IMF and a lot of wrinkling in the cup on armpit side of the cups. Unfortunately, the GG in my Prime Wardrobe order didn't have a shipping date so I couldn't see if a larger cup would work. One bright spot is that it's the closest I've gotten to a gore tacking in recent bra shopping. I'm center full with short roots and mild pectus excavatum so having a gore that tacks would be a unicorn bra for me.
