This bra gives me a really pushed up and front on shape. It's a fairly forgiving shape too.
Problems: 1. The cup is covered in a black mesh fabric, and then over that there's a brown velvet running parallel to the edge. I like how this makes the bra look, but I think this causes the edge to lift away so that the cup doesn't mould to my breast but pops up a bit. 2. issue 1 happens even though I am quadboobing when I first swoop and scoop. 3. all the swoop and scoop disappears in a few minutes because everything escapes out the sides 4. bra shows under most tops ...due to issue 1. 5. The cup is too small for me so I quad boob, and this makes the centre gore not as comfortable as other bras.
I didn't notice this til I wore it for the day. When I tried on the Freya Carlie I didn't have this problem - but the pattern made it difficult to wear. I might try and remove the velvet bit and see if it helps.. I want this bra to work, it gives me a great shape. Read more 83 more words
This bra started out more snug than I was used to, but I was coming from a VS 32B. After a day or two, it loosened up to where it fit pretty well. I may get a bra extender, though. It gives me the cleavage that a push up bra would, too!
REVIEW #2, band measurement went down, bust measurement up
This is one of my only soft cups, and it gives me a bit of a modesty problem as my nipples don't line up with the seams.
This is fairly comfortable for me except for the centre gore which is slightly too wide and rests on my breast tissue. This also doesn't help with the underarm fat/breast tissue that I've got resting there, and the sides are too low for me, so I need to re adjust fairly often.
Since it's cheap I've just been wearing it with a cotton pad under the gore to make it comfortable.
The top of the cups is currently cutting in a bit though there's some space near the nipple which I don't fill completely.
The fabric feels nice, and I like the girly touches though this colourway walks a fine line between fresh/feminine and granny.
I honestly love this bra. However, it is too small in the cup size and the band is very tight. I do like my bands to be tight around my torso though, so to me that isn't a negative. The underwire digs in under my breasts, but I believe this is only because of the cup size being too small. Because of that, my nipples also sometimes show through the lace top. Not that it matters, because the fabric is so thin that when it's cold you can see them just as well anyway. Overall though, I do love this bra and will continue wearing it until I can order a bigger size. Although I'm debating buying a slightly different style, I still want to try different versions in the Freya brand.
This bra is comfortable but the cups don't work. It doesn't quite cover up near my underarms, but I don't fill the cups. After a heavy swoop and scoop, I'm quad boobing on my larger breast, and wrinkles appear near the nipple area.
Band and underwires near the centre are very comfortable though.
Like the other reviewer, I am sad about this bras fit on the top. While everything is fantastic and comfortable, the fact that the top gapes and is moulded means that it is visible through clothes and is not for every day.
This is the most comfortable band/underwire combination for me but the top of the cups just don't work for my shallow breasts.
The cups were too high and stood away from my breasts at the top. It was okay if I stood up very straight and scooped things in toward the middle, but if I hunched over at all the gap became very apparent. Looked nice, good quality, but I would need a 28C, which they don't make. Returned it.
This bra feels simultaneously too big and too small...my boobs were coming out the top a little, as though the cup was too small, but at the same time the fabric was wrinkled, as if I needed a smaller cup size. When leaning over the cup fits, but standing up straight, the fabric wrinkles and the breast comes out. The underwire also seemed too small...coming in a little before my ribcage, feeling uncomfortable and as though I was not contained. Might work on another body, but not mine.
I don't actually own this bra as it didn't fit me and I sent it back when I tried it a couple of years ago, so I can't provide measurements I'm afraid.
It was quite a nice bra and I was hoping it would work for me but sadly it didn't. The main problem is that the cups were just a bit too tall for me and wouldn't lie flat against my boobs. I only fell short by 3-4 mm but no matter what I did I couldn't make the top edge of the cup lie flat.
This bra has the same problem as the Freya Keisha - it's the wrong shape for my boobs so while the top of the cup digs into my breast, I also can't fill the middle of it. It is the wrong shaped cup for me. Panache and Curvy Kate seem to be a better shape for me than Freya in general.
This bra is the wrong shape for me. I quad-boob over the top, but at the same time, there is extra material at the deepest part of the cup - I can't quite fill it. Not the bottom of the cup - that is filled fine, but the deepest part, around the nipple.
Nice back on this. It's a little bit more decorative. Only one hook though - not a problem for me, but I can see how someone with a bigger chest might not like it. The straps were a little resistant to being shortened, so they might be okay at staying the same length over time.
First time wearing this I thought I was wearing the wrong band size. It felt way too tight. Going by measurements, it's the tightest one I own. After wearing it a little bit it feels more comfortable, but it's still tight.
The cups have a sort of vertical wrinkle to them, from the strap ...attachment down to the nipple. Tightening the straps only made this wrinkle worse. Lengthening them made the cup start to gape away from my chest.
The shape is a little pointy for me. The straps also fit a little wide. I always feel like I'm pulling them up.
Overall I'd say it feels both too big and too small at the same time. I'm starting to spill over on my bigger side, but the cups gape open when I slouch over.
Also, despite the description, this is not a padded bra. There is absolutely nothing in there to pad it out. Feels like a soft cup to me. Read more 106 more words
This particular bra is the closest I've found to fitting me since I started measuring myself. Unfortunately, my actual breast size has grown sometime in the last couple of months, so the cup size on this bra is now too small. I have found no problems with the actual bra, though. It hasn't stretched out very much in the past year, so the band is still as tight as when I got it, but I haven't been wearing it that often, either. The straps stay where they are supposed to, and if I hadn't grown, this would still be the perfect bra.
I don't actually OWN this bra but I tried it on and man, did it fit well! It is the best fitting bra I've ever tried. And it gives good cleavage. The only problem is that my right boob is a little smaller and doesn't quite fill the cup, but my left boob fits it PERFECTLY and the band is a good size.
The pattern on this bra is a very pretty lime green and purple floral (orchid) print with lime green lace around the edges and a light green bow. At first the outsides of the underwires had loose material, but this cleared up when I greatly tightened the straps. Now the bra fits me quite well (I usually wear a 28D in Freya and 28DD in Cleo/Panache). The band is a little stretchy for me, but comfortable.
This bra fits me about the same as the Freya Erin, though it's brand new so a bit tighter in the band (which is good). The little rosettes on the start of the straps and at the gore are pretty, as is the general washed color design. It's comfortable and flattering.
