Was hoping this bra would work for me but it makes a really weird shape. My breasts are center heavy I guess and it looks like it leaves empty space at the sides (sides are too shallow?) even though the cup width is fine.
Good for shallow breasts but I don't know what happened with this bra. Someone suggested that the seams were off a little.Updated on Mar 19, 2014 Flag this

This is a really great-looking bra--to me, the denim print makes it fun and not overly feminine. There's no lace to show under tight-fitting shirts, just a small trim, and the seams aren't terribly visible either. The shape is nice and round and it gives pretty good lift.
The fit is my best yet. I wore this all day yesterday on the loosest hooks and it was consistently tight, which is nice when you have a sub-28 underbust; it didn't stretch out over the course of the day and I felt well-supported. The underwires didn't poke and are a perfect length for my build. The bottom of the band ... didn't roll up for me at all. I was really impressed with how it stayed in place.
However, the edging of the material is rigid and the bra's wings really dug into my shoulder muscles (I lift weights and have a high-set chest so this may not be a problem for everyone). I was actually surprised when I took the bra off at the end of the day and it hadn't broken my skin. I'm hoping the fabric will soften up with a few more wears, and I won't wear it for 12+ hours again if I can help it!
If you're not used to longlines, like me (this was my first!), you might have a difficult time putting the thing on. It's got six hooks and I had to get my husband to help. I'm sure with a bit of practice it'll get easier.
UPDATE, 11/23: One week in and this is absolutely my most comfortable and best-fitting bra yet. It's no longer painful at all and seems to have loosened up a bit, but it still stays in place way better than any of my other bras (I have 26ish-inch ribcage, so 28 bands are usually a little big). I'd recommend this bra without reservations and I'm planning on purchasing more of Freya's longlines!

I wear a 30 FF in the other Freya bras I have, so I was surprised when this one didn't fit as well. I guess I need to learn that bra models of the same brand come in different cuts and I need different sizes. The band is ok, a bit loose, perhaps, but only a bit. But the cups are not big enough for me, neither on the side nor on top, i.e. I get spillage. Still a lovely bra in a lovely material.

In comparing this to the Patsy longline, this one fits beautifully. It's perfectly snug, and it has three rows of 6 hooks each as opposed to the Patsy's two, which perhaps makes the difference. I highly recommend this bra.
As I'm wearing it today, I changed my fitting assessment. It DOES fit in the cups once I'm REALLY scooped and swooped. In this style I don't mind not quite filling the cups...I'd rather than than spilling over. But really, this fits! It isn't as snug (read: tight) as the Patsy longline, maybe because there is a third row of hooks. I also like the smooth straps, no little scalloping along the edges like some other bras I've tried, so I don't even feel the straps at allThis bra is not owned any more

I LOVE the look of the bra. It is probably the best fitting bra I have tried on yet. Unfortunately, I did not have $70 to buy one right now from Nordstrom, so I will have to search online or save up in the meantime. The fabric is very light and breathable. I love the "denim" look of this bra, but don't let it fool you - it is a very soft fabric and is not stiff at all. It fit comfortably and the band was snug, but I could have worn it on a tighter hook. The gore tacked but did not give me redness like a lot of other bras. I love the longline, too.

This bra fits similarly to other padded longlines from Freya. There are 3 rows of eyes in the back. The straps are fully adjustable, but made from the same fabric as the rest of the bra, so they might be more likely to slip than bra straps that are more textured.
The material has a denim look, but not a denim texture - it is the same material Freya typically uses for bras. The 'denim' is printed on. I really love the look of this bra.Updated on Jul 29, 2013 Flag this
