I really like this bra, everything but the color.

The bra is so cute design-wise, and makes my conical, somewhat shallow breasts look incredibly rounded and nice. I had no issues with the band riding up either. It is quite a bit stretchier than expected, as is common with Freya bands, but not by much.

Definitely need to adjust the straps, both because 1. they're longer than normal and 2. the bra has a tendency to slide down. I didn't adjust the first time I wore it since I thought everything looked fine and would stay in place - mistake! It was my first time with a "real", properly fitting bra, thus my naiveté.

Because of that, bra ... shifted through the day and the underwire ended up sitting nearly a finger's width below my direct underbust. Consequently, the gore ended up digging into my sternum rather painfully - I kept tugging it away from my body on and off just to give my chest a break from the pain. Once the straps were tightened (I placed the bra exactly where it needed to be, underwire wise, had my SO hook it in, and *then* tightened straps as needed), everything stayed perfectly in place through the day. Beware, the underwires still do dig into to your sternum - just not as uncomfortably.

The wires also are quite wide, they extend past where my breast tissue starts under my arm. However, there's been no problems with them poking into me and thus I'm not bothered by it. The straps are wider-set as well.

Apart from the issues with the center underwire, the rest of the bra is very comfortable and a good fit. There's very slight gaping on my right, smaller breast, but it's negligible. Design is adorable, and the shape the Patsy Longline gives me is amazing. I'm so happy with it, and it's my first bra that fits!

Extremely cute bra - I love the vibrant coral colour. It felt comfortable and the mesh fabric was nice and cool. The band was snug but not too tight on me - in fact, I would have preferred to wear it on a tighter hook. I am a 29 ribcage and I think this band is a little bigger than others I have tried. I think I had some wrinkling on the bottom of the cups on the loosest hook, but it may have been due to my inexperience and hurry of trying it on. It looked better once I adjusted it, but I did not wear it for long enough to see if it would shift back. I love the longline - great for preventing back fat!

This is a lovely bra and seems very well constructed. This size is too small for me in the band, and just a tad too large in the cups. I have a little gaping at the top of the cups which can be eliminated by adjusting the straps to be very snug. But with the band so tight I must return it. I believe that this bra would fit me perfectly in a 30DD. The color is a bright coral pink with cream colored dots and lace. The pattern of the lace is fantastic, and the double bow at the top of the gore is a sweet addition.

This bra is a great fit for me, and as someone who has shallow breasts I definitely like how it fits compared to the full cup styles. The band is snug on the tightest hooks and the straps are a little on wide side, but that works for me since I have wider shoulders.

I think the cups run a tiny bit larger than my Cleos, and it gives me a somewhat pointy shape (I'm not sure why, since all the other pictures I've seen it's a really rounded bra.) That said, I love the look, and the long line band stays put and is comfortable all day.

I've really wanted a longline for awhile, now. I tried on one last fall but didn't end up getting it. I'd also thought about getting the Patsy, so when it came out as a longline this summer I figured I might as well.

Even though I knew it would only have two columns of hooks, I was still disappointed as it felt loose for a 30 band.

The center gore is slightly too wide for me, and the wires are definitely too wide, but not so much that it bothers me.

I found that the band was flipping up, so I put in some boning underneath the cups.

I was really disappointed with this bra, I had some fairly high hopes for it.

Everything about it seemed far too big, like I was trying on a 32D not a 28D. The band rode up like crazy. A few minutes into wearing it, the wires were up onto of breast tissue, and the back was several inches above where it should sit.
I found the cups to be way to big too, which I found odd considering I can fit nicely into the Cleo Juna (6461) in a DD, and most other bras in the 28D-30C range. Even on my bigger boob, it was at least a cupsize, if not two, too big. The wires were far too wide, the gore too. It was such a pretty bra though, and seemed to have a nice shape; I feel like if it had been all-round smaller, it would have wonderful.

Based on my great experience with the Deco longline bra, I expected great things of this bra. When I put it on, I was pleased with the fit, comfort, and appearance. The style is current with a sweet vintage vibe. However, after wearing it during the day, I noticed gaping at the tops of the cups. I may have been able to size down in the cups. Still, the lift is very good. The band is actually amazingly comfortable, with extra soft padding along the hooks. Overall, the material is nice, and the bra is very cute both in terms of style and color/pattern, providing a good, uplifted shape, and I can fix the gaping by layering a cami over it.

Edit: After wearing this bra I realize I really should have gone down a size in the cups. There's just too much gaping at the top. Beyond that, though, I've decided Freya just isn't the brand for my breast shape.

I really wanted this bra to fit, the pattern is so cute. I loved the light padding and longline look. The fabric is mesh, rather than something smoother/softer, but I still found it comfortable and not scratchy. Unfortunately, the cups run a bit too shallow for me. There isn't enough depth at the bottom of the cup, so the underwires sit too low on my chest and leave empty space near the bottom of the cup, but quad-boob on top. If I went up a cup size I believe the wires would be too wide. The band seemed to run large. Since it was a longline it didn't ride up, but still felt loose.
