- Center gore placement:
- Doesn't lie flat against sternum
- Top of the cup:
- Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
- Cups separation:
- Too separate for my boobs
- Band fit:
- The back of the bra is not at the same level as the front (rides up)
- Strap separation:
- Not a problem

Didn't fit
When I first saw this bra, I knew I was going to get it because I just love the pattern and the colors. Of Freya's padded bras, I have only tried the longlines so far, and I seem to fall in between sizes 30F and 30FF. I have the Piper longline in 32E and the Ivy longline in 30F.
So I decided to order the Totally Tartan in 30F as well. I find it runs slightly smaller than the Ivy 30F cup-wise, so I have more spillage of boob towards the center. Band is quite stretchy. While I have an almost 30 inch underbust measurement, I think I'd fit in a 28 band if they made it.
The other problem I have with the Freya padded half cups is that the center gore never seems to sit flat... whether I try it in 30F, 30FF or 30G. So I decided the Freya padded half cups are not for me. That won't keep me from buying their longlines though since I love them and they still give great support.
Overall, this bra gives great support, great shape and looks beautiful. It's just a bit too small in the cups for me, so I think I'll list it here on Bratabase since I don't reach for it.This bra is not owned any more
