I wanted to try this bralette since it came out. My perfect size I believe would be S, however I had only option of M and XS, so I gave a go to both of them.
It is in beautiful vivd purple with orange bow - love it!!!
The bralette is not really stretchy, on my 73 underbust and 93 overbust is bit too loose but still it holds boobs a little. The straps are little too wide as well, however I dont think that they will bother me while sleeping. Actually it gives nice shape - comparable to my 30E - Fortnight » Mira Longline (517-11) but is made of more delicate fabrics but strong enough to give a little support and hold bigger than mine breasts. Definietly worth trying!

Sigh. This doesn't remotely work for me. My under bust is 28". This bra would fit better on a 32"-34" under bust.

The band is so bleeping loose it blows in the wind, provides zero support, and is useless except that the cups attach to it. It is a waste of fabric on my 28" under bust. The small fit much better in the band.

I expect so much more from this wildly successful company, Freya. Size small fit well enough that the band did not look like ruffles. However, my tissue was uncomfortably compressed in the cup. Size Medium has enough space for my tissue but provides no lift ... because the band is large and non-adjustable. Effectively, this bralette moves my tissue to the center and holds it low on my chest. Bali Comfort Revolution bras (3488 & 3484) lift much better and provide more comfort.

Compare this Freya to the 38" Wacoal Halo and you will discover Wacoal has a superior bralette for the small bust customer with one caveat--center-full busts will appreciate Freya's higher gore. Halo's band is 10" too big, but provides light support whereas Freya's Fancies provides no support. Wacoal Halo has very soft fabrics and a lined cup. Freya Fancies bralette is translucent and lace teeters on the precipice of "scratchy." I have sensitive skin...

Freya, benchmark Wacoal Halo and Bali 3484. You can do so much better than this.

This has less stretch than some other sports bras, so you may struggle with getting it over your head if you have wide shoulders. (You may want to size up.) I have narrow shoulders and don’t have too much trouble getting this Medium bralette on and off. I was right on the border of M/L on the size chart and went down to M, hoping for more support and a snug band.

This bralette is a great choice if you have a small band/large cup combo. (I’m 34FF/G.) The front comes up high enough that it’s smooth across the top of the breasts. The lace under the band ... does not roll up, unlike the lace on the stretchier Cosabella bralette, which tends to roll for me. The lace and mesh on this Freya bralette aren’t as soft and stretchy as the lace on the Cosabella; however, they are lightweight, not itchy, and do have decent stretch.

The bralette provides great light support. I’ve only worn it around the house and briefly outside (like taking out the trash), but I think it would be fine for running a quick errand (probably under a hoodie). Because it’s lightly supportive and doesn’t have back closures, this also works well as a sleep bra if I choose to wear it to bed.

This is an awesome bralette. The only thing I really hated was the tag — it was so itchy! So it’s gone now. Sorry I threw it away before taking a photo for Bratabase. Whoops.

I picked up this bralette in size M based on the size chart from Freya (my regular size is a 32FF/30G).

Fit - Not bad. The band was comfortable and the straps adjusted well. The only thing I noticed is the top edge of the 'cup', before the lace, cut into my tissue just a little bit causing just a little bit of quadding. I believe this is due to the fact that I have reconstructed breasts which tend to be firmer than real breast tissue. Natural women will probably have no issues. Since I purchased this as a lounge bra (in house only), the slight quad is a non-issue; I will wear and enjoy this bralette.

Comfort - Very lightweight and comfortable! I forgot I was wearing anything!

Overall impression - Very comfortable garment for this days when you just can't face a real bra, LOL! I do plan on picking up that bright green color way (in a large)!
