The band is very stretchy, I can wear it on the tightest hook despite it being new. It also gives a weird shape, a slightly pointiness. Pretty though

I swapped a bra for the Patsy in a 30E and while I can make it work I think I would prefer it in a 28F. The band for Patsy runs large even for Freya it stretches to nearly 33in. The band doesn't exactly ride up, but it is definitely too loose on the loosest hook, it fits much better on the tightest and when I wear it at the tightest hook, it also solves the bit of gaping I get when I have it on the loosest. While I can make this bra work, I would ideally like to try it in a 28F so I can get more life out of it.This bra is not owned any more

I was surprised that this fit me since it is referred to as wide and shallow. I don't consider myself to be shallow but this worked. I did not keep it though since I did not care for the feel of the fabric.
This gives excellent support and while the straps could be a little closer for my comfort, they are not so far apart that they fall off of my shoulders. I got the 30 band because I have heard Freya stretches out quickly but I definitely could have worn a 32 knowing that it wouldn't be tight/fitted for long. It is listed as padded but compared ... to what most people consider padded, I would call this double-lined. In other words, it did not add much to the appearance of my bust size but it is great for modesty. The shape good under shirts and holds everything way, way up! I get a higher and rounder profile from this bra than any other I have tried but the lace trim does show. If you are looking for a completely smooth look, this will be a disappointment.
Overall this is a well-made and very cute bra. I don't know if the scratchy feel to the material would soften over time but I couldn't afford to take that chance. This is not an inexpensive bra. I would love to find this exact style in something softer.

I love that these bras are fairly low, and the way the vertical seaming gives me a more rounded look. The bra is slightly shallow in the bottom of the cups so I do get some horizontal wrinkles (but they don't show through clothes). My biggest problem with this bra is that it might be too low cut to keep my boobs from jiggling, which I didn't think about while admiring it in the mirror. I know these bras are great for the FOT boobs, maybe not so much for the S & O (softer & older) ones. Another learning experience (and it is a really cute bra!)

This bra basically fits, although the wires are a little too narrow on the sides for me. I also find that the top line of lace never seems to lie completely flat, although I fill the cup out fully.

Amazing bra, but definitely the wrong size for me.

This is a fantastic bra! I've been trying different sizes for a while, and I was convinced it would fit me if I just found the right size. I've found it, in the 32D. Thanks to the wonderful help of the community here, I now have one of the most comfortable bras I've ever owned. It's a little loose around the top, but it doesn't gap, at least not as much as previously badly-fitting sizes.
My only complaint with this bra is that, despite the fact that I've only worn it a handful of times, the elastic on the bottom of the band is already folding in half towards the middle of the day. Not sure what to do to combat this problem, but overall it doesn't concern me too much.Fuchsia colorway

The band is slightly too loose, causing the straps to fall down. Using the second sets of hooks straightaway. Digs into my sternum and the fabric is scratchy so the straps irritate my skin. The embroidery on the edges of the cups shows under clothing but makes my boobs look bigger and gives a lovely shape.
There is some gaping at the top and some wrinkling in the cup- maybe a 30dd would fit better? Or maybe the cups are too tall?Updated on Jul 15, 2015 Flag this

The band is pretty loose for a 32, but I was expecting that from Freya. Closing it on the innermost hook is a bit tight, but the middle hook is alright. On my larger breast I'm getting quite a bit of quadding, but I can adjust my breast inside of the cup so that it doesn't show under clothes, though going up a size would probably be ideal. The bra itself is comfortable even with the fit issues (no scratchy material or painful places.)

Classy black with beige (taupe?) dot colorway, with beige lace trim. Very sophisticated, understated elegance. The half cups come up fairly tall on me, no 'regency cleavage' here, but still a nice full, rounded, lifted shape that works great under clothes and at work. The smooth net fabric will not catch on anything and construction is solid. The lace trim is a bit visible under tighter shirts. A good wardrobe basic and one of my go-tos! I also have this bra in 30G which seems to fit my 32F even/round shape better; perhaps the cups run small and the band large in this model?

Have you ever thought about just altering the band?
It's not as hard as it may sound, and most methods don't even require a sewing machine.
