    Fits

    After my disappointing experience with the Sansa Bralette in 28DD, I wasn't sure if I should risk trying the Unlined Plunge Bra version, but I decided to go for it because I had a hunch that it was built on the Fearne block. I am thrilled to report that this deduction was correct, and that the Sansa Unlined Plunge actually fits me perfectly (I had to make some adjustments to my Fearne due to the wire shape).

    The main thing that drew me to the Sansa styles in the first place is the pretty floral print and lace styling. It's definitely a girly bra, and the styling ... is appealing enough to me to bypass my general dislike of printed bras and aversion to white bras. Sansa is definitely super pretty, with super soft white geo stretch lace upper cups, super soft floral print fabric, and a fancy floral textured strap.

    I find that the cut of the cups is similar to Fancies, only in a super lightweight nonstretch tricot instead of nonstretch lace. It isn't as deep or as projected as other Freya cuts, so it works well on me. The upper panel is just right and sits against my body without any extra space or gapping. The wires, however, have some inconsistency, just like other Fancies variants. I've purchased over 10 Fancies in the same size, and have gotten some narrow J shaped wires, some nicely rounded wires, and some wide, splayed swoosh wires. Even my Fearne came with weird wires that gave me a horribly distorted fit at first. So, if you want Fancies to be your fit, I highly recommend you get comfortable with bending your wires.

    The band on this style significantly differs from Fancies, which has the gate back with 1 hook. Sansa/Fearne has a pretty sturdy mesh band that runs TTS for Freya bras, and it has a super wide hook panel that helps the band feel nice and secure. It's also a full band style, which helps the band stay in place. My only callouts on this bra are the weird triangular metal charm at the center gore that I've seen on so many Freya fashion styles, and the fact that the fabric overlay on the straps makes it difficult to adjust the straps. If you wear your straps on the short side like I do, you'll have to adjust the strap over the fabric, which can be a bit tricky. I wish they hadn't done this, as the strap itself is pretty enough.

    All in all, the Sansa/Fearne is a great, comfortable, lightweight summer style that will surprise you with its soft materials.

    • Since it fits you differently from Fearne, wouldn't that mean it's not the same cut as Fearne? Or am I missing something here?

    • hurrrrrmione No, it fits identically to Fearne. If you compare measurements here and put the two bras on top of each other, you can see they are the same. The block refers to the pattern that the bra is based on. All the fabric panels are the same, the only difference is the wire shape.

      As I mentioned in my review, Freya bras frequently come with differently shaped underwires in the same model. I’ve purchased over 10 Fancies in the same size and the wire shape varies between the different ones, but in general the measurement of the cups is the same. This is a quality issue with having consistently shaped underwires in the bras, since all the wires are the same length, but some are more open, some are narrower, etc.

      Once you bend the wires to the same shape, the fit on all of the bras is identical.
