Not loving the material or fit of this bra. Cups are oddly shaped for me. Sizing up will not fix this. Just get an overall bleh feeling with this one. Cups are too separate for me.

Freya bras are well made and this is no exception, but the bra cups are completely wrong for me. I think the whole cup comes too low on me so the fullness in the cup is mismatched to my body. From the front, you'd think this is like 2 cups sizes off...the underwire is shaped too narrowly and shallowly. This bra led me to realize I need a shallow and wide cup.

The band on this bra seemed much larger than expected. It fit more like a 34 than a 32. The cup is a close fit but not the right shape for me. It looks nice though I don't like the frills at the bottom.

First time trying this brand and the cups run way smaller the Chantelle bras. Unless I got a dud bra. Gore lays flat and 32 band is great on the loosest hook. Def quad boob and spillage happening. Love the feel of the fabric. Will size up two cups.

It's just not the right shape for me. It's sort of wrinkly but also flattens my chest, and it does quad boob. I will do a more thorough review later with pics, but for now I wanted to list it for anybody who might like to buy it. It's brand new with tags.

I bought this in 32D, 30DD and 30D planning to return the ones that don't fit. 32 D definitely feels a little more loose and inclined to shift through the day but no more than I put up with from some other bras in 30 band size. Cup seems to fit, maybe a little extra width at the wires. But I think this fits, will probably send it back to save money since the 30DD is just slightly better.

I'm disappointed in this bra. It's a very strange one! The band is way more stretchy than I'd imagined - it's looser brand new than the Pour Moi Madison I've owned for 2 years. The cups are in two separate layers, i.e, I could put something between the outer, zig-zaggy layer and the inner, mesh layer. And both of the materials are very very thin and flimsy. I can barely feel any support. The cups are projected enough and the shape fits my soft saggy tissue well enough - plus the whole "barely there" vibe makes for a comfortable feel, easy to forget I'm wearing it. But I'd like a brand new bra to feel sturdier, shape my boobs more, in general... more like "if I'm buying a button-up shirt with a collar, I don't expect pyjamas level of comfort."

It's a pretty bra, but fits slightly different from my favorite - the High Apex expressions. The fabric is nice and the mesh on the inside is separate from the outer cup. Seems to fit more 'round' than the other.

My favorite bra so far. I'm pleased with the High Apex 'fit' of Freya, and I feel the quality of the sewing and materials is high. There is no padding and the seams do not chafe. None of the colors knock my socks off, but the underwire is one I can wear all day. It's pretty and doesn't have alot of extraneous padding - I think the look is extremely natural, as if I'm not wearing a bra. But no nipple show through and few lines under clothes. I don't like the lace underneath though - it tends to bunch up a little, and the mesh does tend to collect lint...

Can't say too much, didn't fit.

I bought this bra 2 sister sizes up, and I was able to snag this for a ridiculously cheap price, with the intention of altering down the band to size. The cups are pretty similar to the measurements of my 28E, which fits perfectly. Therefore, in this style, it should be fine to sister size as the cup dimensions are not graded with the band.

I was able to alter the band down to the equivalent of a 28E (to a 60 cm band) by tucking the excess band into the cradle and sewing it down, removing about 4 cm per side. After this adjustment, it fits basically identically to the 28E, so the alteration has worked out well!

This review is for the old Patsy fit, with the old lowercase Freya label.

I purchased the 28E Patsy in Ballet Pink and loved the fit, but as the style is discontinued, I've had to scrounge for sister sizes as I tried to collect other colors. I figured I could just alter down the band of this 32D, so I ordered this size in both the Patsy and the Summer Haze Half Cup. However, I didn't know that Patsy's fit had been updated, and that the fashion colors I purchased, Fuchsia and Peacock, are both the old fit which is more open on the top and have ... a slightly different shape. As a result, while the cup measurements are pretty close to the Black 30DD that fits, this one doesn't end up fitting me the same way even if I tighten the band.

Compared to the Black 30DD in the new fit, the cups measure the same between the two bras (slight variation in cup width), but the upper edge measurement is slightly different, with the Peacock being +.5 cm more open at the upper edge. This doesn't seem like much difference, but considering that the band is much looser, it doesn't sit close to the body in the same way.

I originally intended on altering down the band, but I had forgotten that Freya's padded styles tend to have pretty firm wires, and I am not sure if they will just dig into my ribcage instead of flexing. Unfortunately, padded cups are more difficult to alter than unlined cups, and I am not confident that I can make the upper edge more closed off without slicing and restitching.

We will see if I can make this bra work or not.

Note that one minor difference in this bra compared to my other Patsys is that the straps are a bit narrower. I'm not sure if it's unique to this colorway or if it is because this is the only one in a D cup and the others are all DD+.

I bought this bra 2 sister sizes up because it is pretty difficult to find in this color, and I was able to snag this for a pretty reasonable price. I intend to alter down the band as it is obviously too big. However, the cups are pretty similar to the measurements of my 28E, which fits perfectly. Therefore, in this style, it should be fine to sister size as the cup dimensions are not graded with the band.

Will update with any additional feedback on fit once I have completed the band alteration.

Nice bra,just too small

A very fresh and spring appropriate design. It's very pretty https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra is made with that strong smooth laminate material in the lower cup so it should support well... If it were my correct cup size.

Unfortunately the cup is too small for me and my boobs distort it creating the upside-down 7 shape. The band fits true to size and is comfortable.

I ended up giving it to an older family member who has a slightly smaller cup size. She seemed to like it and I hope she will enjoy it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I'm a bit too big for this. The wires are too short on the sides I don't like how the channels are too big for the wires. It's a comfortable bra but I need to have longer wires.

I am FOO and FoT. Shape mismatch for my boobs. I guess it fits best for FoI and FoB.

What a tresure! I found this bra still with tags at the back of my wardrobe when I was looking for my laptop bag.. Good place to hide for over a year! Its cute bra but I never got along with Freyas. The shape is not my 'style' and obviously now I need at least 30E/F so this one is way too small all over the cups and way too loose in the band

Can't wait to try this in the warm summer months, when I can't wear Comexim padded plunges. so far feels like a good fit! Update: love it! Super comfy and the fabric "breaths!"

Can I marry this print? Band is a bit loose but cleavage is more than, ahem, adequate.
