Just too big and the wrong shape. Band is nice and snug and the bra is beautiful and well-made.

Tried this on in red at Nordstrom Rack and would have bought it if it weren't for two things:

- the straps don't adjust small enough and have very little stretch
- band is a little too big (my underbust is 26.25, fyi)

I've found that CK bands don't stretch out much over time, so if I were to find this bra again really cheap, I would definitely consider buying it and altering the straps myself.

Otherwise, this is a great bra! Cups fit really well, gives a great lifted shape, the color is really beautiful and it's very supportive.

This is the best fitting bra I have found so far. The cups fit quite well and the shape is good, though a little less projected than I'm used to. It is very comfortable, delicate and pretty, and open enough for me on top. I don't get a ton of cleavage, but there's a good amount of lift and it's quite supportive.

The band definitely runs loose. I am wearing it on the middle hook already and will probably need to alter it in a few weeks to get some more wear out of it. I do get a little bit of sternum stabbing from the underwires, but I ... bent them a bit and it's already tons better.

EDIT: Okay, so after a few wears, this bra is not holding up as well as I'd liked. The underwires are a tiny bit narrow for me (or the band isn't tight enough to keep my swoop and scoop in space properly. Also, the shoulder straps often fall off, despite the straps seeming tight enough. Is this a common problem with Freyas? Either way, I don't think this is the bra for me after all.

I like this bra a lot, but the cups are far too small and provide very little coverage. When I swoop & scoop, my nipples are pretty much sitting above the cups. I wore this one all the time a few years ago and it is very comfortable and pretty. The lace doesn't show through unless you're wearing a very tight or thin shirt, but I will say that the strap design works best under t-shirts and not tank-tops, unless you don't mind really visible/apparent bra straps. I'm tempted to get it in a 30C because I liked it so much when I was smaller, but I'm not sure the cups will be deep enough.

This bra fit deceptively well in the store but the band has already stretched out a bit and I'm wearing it on the tightest setting now (originally wore it on middle setting). I bought it because the band runs quite snug for a 32 (at least initially) but my underbust is <27 so I really shouldn't have bought it. It is really cute, comfortable and looks great under clothes. I couldn't quite fill out the bottom and sides of the cups, so if you are shallower and more FoB (or just larger than me proportionally maybe). Straps are a bit wide set for my taste, but they almost always are.

This one was too big for me in almost all aspects.

- band is very stretchy and it was still loose on the loosest hook
- didn't even come close to filling the cups and they were far too wide
- the straps were really far apart

In addition, it just felt sort of flimsy and cheap. A definite no for me.

I love, love, love this bra. Granted, it's pretty padded and the cup shape is pretty rigid, but it gives great shape under all sorts of clothes, good cleavage and is still the most comfortable bra I own. I do wish it were a little less contoured -- at certain times of the month, I don't quite fill it out, which means that I get some gaping at the top of the cups if I sit a certain way. Not particularly sexy, appearance-wise and I've found the white gets pretty dingy looking but mine is ~4 years old at this point. This is a definite staple in my bra wardrobe and I'm definitely thinking about replacing it (but probably not in white).

I found this bra to run VERY small in the cup in comparison to other TLBC bras. I was spilling out of the 30C, which I thought would be a better size than the 30B - The Little Bra Company » Sonia (3743) which was also too small in the cup. Has anyone else found the cups on the Lucia to run super small? I kind of wonder if I was in a mis-tagged bra...

I know the Lucia is TLBC's flagship bra, but it was really uncomfortable and awkward on me. The gore is at least a finger's width away from my sternum and the other part of the underwires are digging in.

I really thought this bra was gonna work for me, but there was a slight shape mismatch that I just couldn't get over even though the fit issues are so easily camouflaged by the stiff foam of the cups. I agree with the other reviewers who've said that this bra runs projected-ish in this size range -- this worked out great for me in that Charlotte has the immediate projection that I'm always looking for, but it's too projected at the apex and wants more inner fullness than I have. I was getting some empty space in the cups (not visibly though, the cups still manage to lie flush with my chest) and decided that the awesome shape and lift I get from this bra aren't worth it for a mediocre technical fit. It was incredibly supportive though and has a nice vintage pin-up vibe going on if that's your style. The band is nice and snug and I'd say the cups run a little large in comparison to other 28Ds, but still TTS.

Cute, supportive, definitely adds volume & cleavage. The plunge style cuts in a bit, so definitely go up a cup size if you're FOT or have tall roots. The 28 band feels true to size, not super stretchy like some other Freyas. We'll see how it holds up in the water!
