Freya Starlet wires? » All bra adventures

Freya Starlet wires?

I just got my Freya Starlet. I'm going to try my best to write a full review as soon as possible.
For now I want to mention the wires.

I noticed that with the bra on, the wires look too wide.
With it off, they measure 4.9". The unstretched band is 27", stretched without max wire distortion is about 31". Though, even stretching the band a half inch to an inch, the wires become 6" wide. o_o

Has anyone else had this happen with the Starlet? I actually feel like the band is somehow taut for Freya (similar to Deco Vibe), but the wires are stretcher than any of my other Freyas. Or any of my other bras for that matter.


Regardless, it still gives a great shape for an unlined bra with wider wires. Surprisingly not minimizing, which normally happens with wide/stretched wires (and is partly why I'm not a huge fan).

And I finally have the first bra I fell in love with since discovering a more appropriate size!Yay!

  • I only tried the Starlet on briefly, but I didn't have the same experience. In 28DD, the wires were too narrow, and dug in uncomfortably. Maybe if I hooked it tighter it might have stretched ok. I don't think it would have helped in my case, since my underbust is 27" and 28 Freya bands are a bit too big on me.

  • @bellea Oh ouch! Yeah, Freya bands always seem pretty stretchy. :(

    My UB is 29" so I'm a little confused.
    I've also tried the Starlet on (obsessively) a lot before and never noticed the wires stretching.
    Mine is also more FoT than I remembered.
    Weird.
    Oh well.
