There are some bras that you can tell right away will be comfortable when you get it in your size, and this is one of them (some bras can seem to be comfortable in a certain size, but once you get it in your correct size it isn't, because of too tight strips of elastic and whatnot).

Although this bra doesn't nearly fit me except for the cups, it is oh so comfortable. I can tell it'll be one of my favorite bras once I've had the time to alter it smaller in the band https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The fabric is so soft yet sturdy (when I say sturdy I mean one that isn't flimsy, some may say sturdy when they mean that the band is similar to the Panache sports bra for example, extremely strong and kinda restrictive) and the bottom section of elastic on the band is sewn beautifully. It has zigzag-stitches that are further apart in both length and height than most UK bras. This allows for greater movement while still maintaining stability https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> This is something Freya could learn; sewing a super-duper tight zigzag elastic at the bottom WILL create stability, but at the cost of comfort. I've been wearing Freya bras in the past that actually were too big for me in the band, yet I experienced awful cutting-in due to the excessively tight elastic seam on the bottom. I experienced cutting-in simultaneously as the band was riding up considerably. I generally think that Freya sucks at making band constructions because they make really stretchy bands and then slap some super-tight elastic at the bottom to save the shit.

Except for the band, the cups are really comfortable https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I'm not talking about the fit here, I'm talking about the fabric it's made out of. Sometimes my nipples get scratchy from certain bras, but this is definitely not the case with this one! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> It's foam-padded and it's very gentle on the little thingies inside there https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> No chafing. The straps do have *some* stretch in them, but I wouldn't say it's a dealbreaker because it's very firm. You really have to tug on them purposely to make them stretch, they never do when I'm wearing the bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I'll update this when I've altered this pretty, pretty bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

  Oh, the Freya issue with the narrow super-firm elastic at the bottom! It hurts! Even with a very big band and no matter if there is padding on the ribcage or not. Why can't they learn...!? :(

  I keep my fingers crossed for your alteration project. :)

• Thanks!

  Yeah, I wish they would, it's a shame because their bras are pretty.
