I love the pattern and design of this bra, but this size did not work with my breasts. The cup fit my larger breast snugly. I would maybe try this bra on in a 30FF or 28G.

I love longline bras because the band is so wide! The bra stays firmly in place throughout the day and there is no need for readjustment. Although the front can roll up at the bottom during wear, it does not affect the comfort or appearance (underneath clothes) and can usually be ignored.
The fit is identical to my Freya Just Flew In longline.
It is a pink-y/peach color that would blend in nicely on a caucasian skin tone but may not be compatible for others. I especially like the quality of the black lace trim on this bra and the grosgrain textured straps!Updated on Jan 08, 2014 Flag this

Cup height (measured from the outside center of the cup): 5.625"; 6" including lace
I have this in the cornflower blue color, which is beautiful--I was so excited to buy this bra!
I've been holding onto it for a couple of weeks now because I just don't understand it. I have and love several other Freya longlines in 28FF that fit just amazingly on me, but while the Piper technically fits, it just isn't... perfect.
The cup height is comparable to the other Freya longlines I own, but the lace doesn't lay flat and the cup seems to come up so much higher than the others on my short-rooted breasts. In ... fact, on my smaller breast, there is quite a lot of gapping at the top, even with an insert.
The straps also don't work for me--they are fully adjustable but still don't seem to adjust tight enough for me, even when fully tightened.
I wonder if both problems are caused by stretchier fabric than the other longlines, because I have the same issue in the straps with my Patsy Half-Cups, which is very stretchy.
Anyway, I wanted to love this bra so badly, but I think I'll have to rehome it.

Fit well but I returned it as I decided I didn't need it. Also the other longline that I have from Freya (30E - Freya ยป Patsy Padded Longline Bra (1222) and some of the other Freya bras I've had for a bit aren't starting to fit as well. I didn't want to take the risk.

Got the longline Piper in 32F which is my regular size, but it was almost a struggle putting it on and breathing was barely possible. The band is definitely on the tight side with not a lot of stretch in it, and the cups were also a bit small. My nipples were showing after I did the scooping thing, and the spillage was very obvious.
I'm so sad that it doesn't fit me, since the bra is really, really gorgeous. I love the model of it, and the fabric is absolutely lovely. Probably the bra of my dreams (at least when it's in Passion Fruit).Updated on Nov 27, 2013 Flag this

I'm between 30DD-E, but the Piper Longline in 30E was clearly too big. There was gaping at the top of the cups, no matter how long or short I adjusted the straps.
It's no surprise that the cups run large-ish. In fact, I experienced that in most Freya longlines and halfcups. (The Freya Just Flew In Padded Longline Bra (1393) is the only exception as it fit me perfectly in that size.)
So: The band runs true to size. It's firm. The cups run true to size to slightly large and more projected than the JFI longline.
I liked the fact that the Piper Longline (cornflower blue) had 3 rows of hooks instead of just 2.cornflower colorway

This one fits me a bit like the Totally Tarten Longline Bra by Freya. Band is ok (I love longline), but the cups are too small. Will try going up to a 30 G. The pattern is weird, but I like longline so much I want to try the bigger cup size.

I already owned a Freya Just Flew In longline bra in a 28DD, my regular size. It was gorgeous and comfy, but the cups were a little small for one of my breasts. Since then, I have been searching for my proper size in Freya longlines.
The "passion fruit" (pink) colour is one of the older longlines so the smallest band size it comes in is a 30. I took a risk and tried the 30DD, figuring maybe a band size up could give me enough cup room.
To my surprise, this size is very good on me. Still a bit small for my largest breast, but that means there isn't too much gaping on my smaller breast (ah, the joys of asymmetry!). The band fits me very comfortably, around the same feel as the JFI in a 28DD. And, obviously, I think the design is gorgeous!Updated on Oct 02, 2013 Flag this

I absolutely adore the looks of the Freya Piper Longline Bra in Passionfruit. It gives me a wonderfully rounded shape from the side, just like the Cleo Marcie. Just like the 30F Cleo Marcie, however, this bra gives me side tissue bulge. I can no longer find the Passionfruit color in 30FF.

The cups of the Piper Longline are vertical seamed, so if you like cakes on a plate cleavage, I would try this. Freya's unpadded balconettes are too narrow and deep for me, but I've had great luck with their vertical seamed half cups.This bra is not owned any more
