I think this bra is too shallow for me and a bit of a shape mismatch. It's not uncomfortable, but I get a lot of gapping in the center near the cups. Disappointing since this is such a cute bra!

This is one shallow half cup. After having worn a few Wacoals, this seems a cheaply made bra.
Cons:
1. The fabric is not so soft.
2. The band is a single layer of mesh.
3 The Gore is 1.1" wide: not a good choice for close-set, center-full breasts.
Advantages:
1. Cup lining is smooth and thin; doesn't add bulk
2. Straps are .75" wide
3. Pattern is cutehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
Wide, shallow breasts may adore this bra pattern, but it is not an appropriate choice for my immediately projected, center full, close-set breasts.

Like so many others for me the straps are too far out causing discomfort. I moved the straps in a bit in the front and vast improvement. Otherwise, the fit is pretty good, I can wear it all day.

This bra is my current favorite bra - small amount of padding, the cups are the perfect size, fits great under my arms, I barely even notice I'm wearing it! The only things I would change are the lace detailing on the top of the cups so that it can be worn with thin t-shirts and the fabric feels a little cheap. I'm definitely looking to buy this in other colors. 9.95/10 super great!!

This bra seems reasonably projected, and slightly closed on top. It gives a good shape, similar to the "cakes on a plate". I think I need a cup size up.

Way to big for me on top. The straps are itchy

Really pretty bra, but I don't have enough on top to fill it. The straps are too wide set and and irritating to my arm pits. I'm also not a fan of the elastic they used, it's itchy.

This is one of my favorite bras. The fit isn't perfect but the comfort makes up for the small shape mismatch.
The good: Very comfortable! I typically prefer 34 bands but since the band in the Patsy is stretchy, a 32 fits nicely. This bra gives me a slight east/west appearance from the front which I actually like (I am short waisted; this east/west appearance fools the eye into thinking I have a more hourglass shape).
Needs Improvement: The cups on this bra are slightly too shallow for me so the shape from the side isn't as round as I'd like. The seams will show through any smooth-fabric top as will the lace upper edge.
Overall, I am very pleased with this one! I reach for it often and would love for Freya to come out with more colors (and for the love of pete, smooth down those seams)!This bra is not owned any more

Pretty... Pretty... but...
This bra is for shallow, wide root, Full on top. And my breast is projected, narrow root, full on bottom.
What was I thinking when I orderd it? How can I think that this bra fits me?

Feels great if only a little snug on the band as I get used to the fit. My breasts are completely encapsulated in the cups with no quad boobing. However, there's some underarm fat that spills over the band. Not sure if it's not a good fit or if that is tissue that has migrated to my sides.
Update: After wearing it, I'm sad that this beautiful bra has short underwires that don't go the length of the channel. Because of the empty space on the channel, it pokes my underarms and the tissue just bulges out where the underwire is supposed to be. I tried pushing the wire all the way to the back part, which held the cup to my side, but dug into my sternum. So now the wire is somewhere in between, and doesn't poke me as much. Still, it's a beautiful bra which gives me a very nice shape without much (if it has any at all) padding. I'll keep using the bra until it stretches out a little.Black colorway
