I bought this at Intimacy on sale about 6 months ago. I'm a 28/30 band, so this was obviously too big. Thankfully, they were able to easily take it in to a standard 28, and now it fits perfectly. It's a lovely bra, but the straps have a crinkle detail on both sides that ends up bothering me after a while-not to mention the marks they leave on my skin. I wear it still (wore it today actually), but I think it's going to have to make its way to my 'occasional lingerie' drawer -where the things that aren't quite right but I still love them because they're pretty-end up.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Altered band,

I love this bikini top! The fit is spot on, the color is awesome (hot pink!), and it's comfy. Another winner from Freya (I think I say that phrase too much). I have both this top and the bottoms in a medium (for reference, my behind is US 6/8 UK 10/12) and they cut into my hips too much and are not flattering. A large would be too big in the bum as I actually have a small behind to go along with my larger hips. I highly recommend this bikini top, and hope to purchase it in the pretty new Obsession color. As for the band, it's a bit on the tight side because when it gets wet it'll stretch.

This bra is gorgeous! I bought it on sale at Intimacy a while ago, and I didn't wear it long before my band shrunk to a 28. I find now that my cup size has gone up due to tissue migration, so it doesn't fit me anymore, sadly. It gives good lift and good separation (not too much), and it's soft. The details on the cup are lovely and not scratchy like I was expecting. It feels very nice on. Another winner from Fauve!

I didn't really do much research on the 28H Emily prior to purchasing via Zulily not long ago, but I suppose I should have.

See, I wear a 28H in the Romance, and even though I'm between 28H and 30GG right now (preferring either loose 28s or tight 30s, since my underbust is 29"), I figured it'd probably have a stretchy enough band since I can still wear the Romance.

The band is a bit tight. I apparently have one that was made properly (I say 'properly' because 28's should only stretch to 28," but CK is known for much stretchier bands) because the system noticed that the band only ... stretches to 28." Now, it technically *can* stretch a bit further, but I don't like to include extra stretch measurements if it means that the bra is warping. I can fasten it just fine with my 29" underbust, but it starts to warp the wires, so I don't really count it as stretching to 29."

The real problem though, is the cup. I should have been fine in the H because my Romance still fits me in the cup just fine (I did check prior to ordering the single H cup), but the cup is in fact too small. It doesn't matter too much to me since it's not really noticeable through clothing, but it is annoying. I really only bought this one (I actually bought two of them) for dying purposes, because I am dying (ha, see what I did there?) for some jewel toned bras, and people aren't really making them. My plans for these two stark white Emily's are ruby red and forrest green. My next white bra will be a nice aubergine color (think ModCloth's I Love Your Dress in Plum).

So, all in all, it's pretty now, but will be prettier when I get through with it. Comfort level is really just meh, since it's too small, but no big deal. It'll do.

UPDATE 8/4: Okay so I just realized how horrible the shape is for me! Wow. Thanks, photos! Glad I didn't pay much for these cause they're kind of awful on me, and the wires are far, far too wide.

I adore this bra. The print is fantastic. The shape isn't bad, but of course the wires are a bit wide.

This is the bra where I realized that a 28GG is actually too small for me. I am about to see if I can remove the seam from the top of the cup and find out if it'll open it up more (I think, haven't decided).

I really don't want to sell it. Something is compelling me to keep it.

The only thing I don't like is how fat the straps are. It's kind of annoying.

Anyway, for someone who's 29" underbust like me, this stretchy-ish 28 from Freya works just fine in the band.

Again, print is adorable and it's super comfy. Highly recommend it.

Alright, so this has been a total struggle for me. My Eris & beige basic in 70H both fit perfectly in the cup. So when it came time to get a black one, the 65HH should've been perfect. So I'm not sure if this is an issue of 'black bras always run one size small' or what (I have read many places that in certain bras like the deco, the black runs smaller than the beige), but it was much too tiny in the cup and thus felt a bit too tight in the band.

So I ordered the 65J, which is a decent fit but not perfect. ... Like the EM Wroszka, I am on the edge of too big for it. I'd say it fits like a 30G.5. The very lovely and helpful Amelia from Wellfitting was helping me figure out sizing. I elected to keep this one because it's pretty close, but I do wonder if 30K/65K would be a better fit. I could also definitely use higher wings to keep some of my armpit fat tucked in better, but oh well.

So yeah, I like the basic in black. It goes perfectly under my new Urkye Tuba in the same color. I wish it fit a bit better, but it might be asking too much.

Well obviously I love this bra or I wouldn't have gotten a new one when I started to quadboob out of my old one. It's actually been a really good basic, which was surprising. It's also very comfortable, which is why I reach for it often. This one and the Ingrid are my favorite bras. For a more in-depth review, check out my thoughts on the 65J. This one is a perfect fit-though is technically a 65L with reduced cups (I just don't know how to compensate for that here).

Again, just putting this up for listing purposes.

However, I was a slave to the Deco for many years, until I discovered Comexim. The Deco is well made and long lasting, despite my usual continuous wear (this one's in good shape as I soon realized it was too small).

They give good cleavage-in the wrong size. E.G. I wore my 28GG for ages because it gave good cleavage and Freya doesn't make a 28H in the Deco (thankfully, they do make a 30GG). It's a great t-shirt bra. I personally love the cute little bow in the middle of the cups-but I love bows. Can't see it under clothing, which is nice.

It got a lot of wear and I'd recommend it to most people who are compatible with the shape-such as those of us who are FOB.

Okay so I totally bought this by accident. When I first saw it on Comexim's website, I didn't look at all the photos, and I failed to notice that it's a bikini. Oops! I am a polka dot lover and a bow lover, so I saw the two of those in one 'bra' and I got all excited. Well, now I have an awesome bikini top! So I'll be selling my hot pink freya one, since I don't exactly need 3 bikini tops (and I also have a tankini, which would make 4 bathing suits).

Anyway, still love it because again-polka dots and a bow. It is cute, and ... my husband's not the biggest fan (he likes both freya's better, psh), but I think it's still sexy because the wires are more narrow, which makes me more projected. My boobs look best with narrow wired stuff (though I can wear wider wires, they definitely look their best with narrower ones), so that's another plus. I haven't worn it yet, but I will soon!

And yes, I will be ordering the Audrey (I hope, since I'm on a no buy til Sept.), which is the actual polka dotted bra they make.

To note: Fits a bit smaller in the band than my 65J bras, but I imagine that's because it will stretch out when it gets wet. I also like that they make the clasp out of metal-feels more sturdy that way.

I actually love this bra. I was really unsure of it when I saw it online. I spent ages looking at reviews before deciding to go for it. Thanks to brasihatelove 's review on her blog, I decided to go for it. I'm glad I did because it's a perfect fit and very comfortable. It definitely looks better in person than online. It's cute and reminds me of a rainy day in winter, but in a good way. Definitely reminds me of rain. I found it for under $35 on Amazon, and I love it so much I'm thinking about buying the 'nude' color as well since it's pretty close to my olive-y skin tone. It's pretty adorable. I know people have mixed feelings on it, and it definitely won't work for everyone, but I think it's fairly universal in fit. E.G., BIHL is full on top and it fits her quite well, whereas I am definitely full on bottom, and it fits me quite well also.
