I think this fits! I know that Freya bras tend to run large in the band. The 30 longlines I had stretched out pretty quickly and since there are only two rows of hooks, I didn't want to have to sew it so I could continue to wear it. The 28 is a tad tight, but the band is stretchy, so I don't mind.

I have shallow boobs and this bra gives me cake on a plate look. I can hardly believe they're my boobs! I'd like the wires to be a bit wider, so I might bend them, but other than that it's great. The straps don't dig into my armpits either, another added plus. The straps are a little scratchy, but I'll put up with them.

I have the orange with white dots. I wish I could get another color, but that's ok. No one will see it under my clothes.

Band is on the loose side: I prefer 30 bands in Cleo, but this one is just perfect with 28 band. Cups are quite open on top, causing a little gaping, but not enough to size down. It sits quite low on my body; I might just be wearing it too low, but it is comfortable in that place, so I'm not worried. It's not very full coverage, so if you're looking for a very supportive bra, you could do better.

The band tends to roll up several times a day, and I end up adjusting it every now and then; it's not too big a problem, but a bit annoying. I have scoliosis and one of my ribs sticks out more than the other, so that might affect the fit.

Shape is nice under clothes, but due to the band rolling (and the distinctive colour), I prefer to wear it with looser t-shirts. It's comfortable to wear whole day, and my only real complaint is the band rolling.

The bra is so cute design-wise, and makes my conical, somewhat shallow breasts look incredibly rounded and nice. I had no issues with the band riding up either. It is quite a bit stretchier than expected, as is common with Freya bands, but not by much.

Definitely need to adjust the straps, both because 1. they're longer than normal and 2. the bra has a tendency to slide down. I didn't adjust the first time I wore it since I thought everything looked fine and would stay in place - mistake! It was my first time with a "real", properly fitting bra, thus my naiveté.

Because of that, bra ... shifted through the day and the underwire ended up sitting nearly a finger's width below my direct underbust. Consequently, the gore ended up digging into my sternum rather painfully - I kept tugging it away from my body on and off just to give my chest a break from the pain. Once the straps were tightened (I placed the bra exactly where it needed to be, underwire wise, had my SO hook it in, and *then* tightened straps as needed), everything stayed perfectly in place through the day. Beware, the underwires still do dig into to your sternum - just not as uncomfortably.

The wires also are quite wide, they extend past where my breast tissue starts under my arm. However, there's been no problems with them poking into me and thus I'm not bothered by it. The straps are wider-set as well.

Apart from the issues with the center underwire, the rest of the bra is very comfortable and a good fit. There's very slight gaping on my right, smaller breast, but it's negligible. Design is adorable, and the shape the Patsy Longline gives me is amazing. I'm so happy with it, and it's my first bra that fits!

Based on my great experience with the Deco longline bra, I expected great things of this bra. When I put it on, I was pleased with the fit, comfort, and appearance. The style is current with a sweet vintage vibe. However, after wearing it during the day, I noticed gaping at the tops of the cups. I may have been able to size down in the cups. Still, the lift is very good. The band is actually amazingly comfortable, with extra soft padding along the hooks. Overall, the material is nice, and the bra is very cute both in terms of style and color/pattern, providing a good, uplifted shape, and I can fix the gaping by layering a cami over it.

Edit: After wearing this bra I realize I really should have gone down a size in the cups. There's just too much gaping at the top. Beyond that, though, I've decided Freya just isn't the brand for my breast shape.

So most people know that Freya tends to have pretty stretchy bands, but the longline aspect means this bra is still supportive even though the stretched measurement is a full 5" longer than my tight as possible underbust measurement (3" longer than my comfortably snug measurement).

I love the shape this gives me, I am not well endowed but under a tight tank top I think my breasts just look lifted and perky, although I wouldn't necessarily say it creates legit cleavage, which is fine by me.

The straps are a little too separated for me, but it isn't a big enough problem for me to return this bra, and ... the wires are too wide for me, but not by a ridiculous amount. The pattern is cute and I feel supported and confident about the size/shape of my breasts so it is a keeper for me, even if it doesn't technically fit perfectly.

I would also say this runs pretty true to size. Although up until now I have only bought 28E, I have started to experience quadboob in those bras due to tissue migration so I would say my "typical" size is now much closer to 28F (although my smaller breast does struggle to fill the cup without major scooping and swooping). I don't think there's any need to size up or down in cup or band for this bra from what you normally wear in Freya/Cleo.
