Honestly, this is the prettiest, most comfortable bra I have had in a long time. I love the lace/mesh look of this bra. The straps are wider than I usually like to buy (because I like to wear them under camisoles and not have the strap show), but they are SO comfortable, I can't complain. The ONLY thing I don't love about this bra is that the straps aren't Multi-way. They are stationary, cannot be crossed or anything like that, which is unfortunate. That said, there's seriously nothing else I don't love about this bra. It is unlined, so my large breasts sit comfortably supported, without any extra ...padding or pressure, etc. I have lactating breasts, due to a side effect of medication, so I generally wear nursing bras to accommodate that, meaning that this is the first non-nursing bra I have bought in a long time, and I am SO happy with it. I had almost forgotten how much more supportive a great bra is. I love this bra, truly. I bought it in black and beige, and I'm looking for it in my size in red and blue because I love it so much. It's well manufactured, and I can tell that it will last a LONG time, way longer than anything from Victoria's secret or similar. I am thrilled. Read more 115 more words

Fits nicely, very happy with the as a first try of my new size. Gore lies perfectly flat, wires are comfortable for wide root & shallow boobs, band is tight, but not too tight, and supportive. Shape looks good.
I like this bra a lot as it's the first bra I have that properly fits me. But it's still not perfect for my needs. The cups aren't as full coverage as I'd like and feel just over a half cup. I love the straps because you can adjust the tightness all the way up to the cup, it's really cool. In addition, I like the hook in the back to make the bra a racer strap. However, the straps are a bit far apart and it it digs in a bit right where the strap meets the cup; it will feel itchy at times. Other than that, I find it to be a well fitting bra.
When I first got this bra it gave a great shape. I'm not used to unlined bras so this was not worn much, but really more purchased as a tool for finding the right size. As time went on, the band became way too loose. The cups do work amazing but all it takes is a few minutes of wear and I have to scoop them back into place to stop horrible gaping in the top.
I really like this bra. The whole reason I bought it was because I loved the pattern, color and scalloped cup edge--so cute! It doesn't fit me perfectly, but it's very, very comfortable. I'm a cup size smaller, but the only way in which I didn't fill out the cup was at the top, and I shortened the mesh section (after measuring) to reflect that. The band is like all of Freya's bands--stretchy but supportive. The straps slip on me a little sometimes, probably because the cups are a little wide/a size too big (yeaaaah I got what I paid for) but the unlined cups are amazing. My breasts are soft so I can pretty much pour them into this bra and I still get a nice, rounded shape. I'm going to sister size down for another Freya balcony to see if I get a better fit, because I love the comfort of this bra.
I love this bra. It's so sexy and yet so supportive. And that's a hard thing to find in 38F. It would make a great bra for Valentine's Day - especially if you get the chili red color, like I did. I have only found two issues with it. One, it has a seam diagonally across the nipple which shows under some shirts. So it doesn't work under things like t-shirts. The second is that it makes creaking noises on one side. I'm hoping that will stop with wear.
Really cute bra and I wish it had fit me better. I loved the color selection (magenta and orange) - kind of a retro vibe. The straps have a clip for converting to a racer back but it didn't really work for me. It was way too tight when I tried it.
The band seemed a little tighter than my other Frya 38F, but was still wearable. I probably should go up one cup size as there was a little bit of quad boob going on.
This bra I got on a bra transfer. I have just put it on for the 1st time as I write this review. The band is a bit tight but I can slip 2 fingers under the band. So I would say the band is nice and snug . My boobs fill out the bottom of the cups just fine but there's some wrinkling at the top.This is a really sturdy bra and is well made. It is what I think you might call a "balcony bra". It has 2 part cups with a vertical seam and side panels. Two hooks in the back.
I only had this bra for a day before I had to get rid of it. I couldn't fill the bottom of the cups, while I was getting quad-boob on top. Paradoxically, the top by the straps gapped - I believe due to the removable straps. On the sides, I had tissue spilling out - not sure if the cups were too small, or if there's a problem with the wires. I also found the fabric to be itchy. The band was comfortable, on the looser side, and I liked the material the cups were made from. I may try the non-convertible Freya to see if that makes a difference.
Band is very stretchy and rides up a bit. Gore is too narrow so the cups wrinkle on both sides of it. I do not quite fill the top of the cup causing some wrinkling. Wires are not tall enough on the sides to enclose all of my tissue and poke into it.
Wrong shape for me, and gaps at upper edge. Very stretchy band gives inadequate support, so I should've tried a 36. I like the low gore, but it does push my boobs too close together. It does give cleavage. I would not purchase in this size again.
Love this bra! It's my first that fits properly and it's an amazing difference. The straps are almost too far apart, but it's not something big enough to worry about or bother fixing.
Just got this bra in the mail today, and it fits like a glove. My boobs are completely encased in it, even on the sides, which I've never had before, and the gore tacks and stays put, even while doing jumping jacks!
The only downsides that I've managed to find are that the straps are slightly too far apart, making them almost rub against my shoulder blades? But it's honestly nothing that you really notice while wearing it, unless you're being picky, especially since I have narrower shoulders than most. It's also slightly itchy right now on the center gore, but I imagine that's only because I haven't washed it yet, and I don't think it has been.
So comfortable for me! I'm more often a 38FF but I found this in a local store on clearance for a great price and its comfy enough and cute enough to ignore the slight quad boob on my bigger side - it fits my smaller side perfectly! Also have a little bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, but its not visible through a shirt.
