Ugh, I wanted this one to fit so badly! I originally purchased the Totally Tartan longline in a 30F, & hoped that by sizing up to a 30FF the quadboob would disappear.

Unfortunately, the cups are too wide and shallow for my breasts, no matter the size of the bra. The the lack of immediate & center projection created many fit issues that I dread. The cup wrinkles at the bottom as my breasts scoot the bra down in search of more projection. Consequently, as the cups ride down, the wires slide their way out of my IMF and sit uncomfortably on my ribs. The outer edge of the cup still cuts in and creates a bit of quadboob as the bra migrates down, even after sizing up. Lastly, the longline band annoyingly bunches and curls up in the front throughout the day.

Sitting in my drawer this bra is lovely in an understated, almost delicate way. But on my body, it's quite a mismatch.

This is my third Totally Tartan Longline. I went with a 30FF for a fuller look. The cups on the 32FF gives a more relaxed look. The band totally doesn't fit on the 32FF but wearing it as a halter, I kind of wanted my boobs to just sit and settle in the cups. The 30FF is less loose in the band but still loose. Both feel very comfortable. I love wearing these bras under low back or side cut tank tops and loose shirts. It's a cute way to let your bra peek out and doesn't look like a conventional bra because of the longline aspect. I'd buy more if they had other colours.

I think I could get addicted to longlines.

I bought this one knowing the bra's shape was a mismatch for mine, but the joy of soft tissue means I have relatively biddable/obedient breasts, and there's something about the denim pinstripe with wooden buttons that just called to me. Perhaps the pared-back "femininity" of it? Not sure, but it is nice to have a bra that isn't all lace and flowers and bows.

The cups run wide and shallow; however, despite the shallowness, they allow for some measure of immediate projection at the base of the cup. The cups are too shallow at the gore for me, so my inner fullness ... pushes at the gore and shoves it downward during the day; thankfully, the longline's broad, extremely stable band simply refuses to allow the gore to move downwards and the bra remains comfy.

Typical of the Freya padded halfcups, the cups are very open on top.

The material of the bra is lovely, soft to the touch and firm, but giving. I find the width of the band incredibly comfortable: it's tricky to get the wires sitting in the right place on first donning the bra, as shimmying it up into the inframammary fold isn't so easy with a few inches of band gripping your torso.

The band bunches up at the base during wear; the band is cut longer than any of my other bras by a good 10+cm, so it's cut to allow for the ribs below the underbust to be wider than the underbust itself, but it's either not enough or I slump and slouch far too much. Even bunched up, though, it's more irritating than uncomfortable.

For my notes: wires are about half an inch too wide for me.

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 all
