This is such a cute bra (ordered in the new S/S peacock colour-way). Unpadded Freyas (and the deco) are a complete disaster on me, but I'd heard the padded half-cups better suited shallow boobs, so I really hoped this would work on me. Sadly not.

The pluses: wire and gore width is absolutely perfect, which surprised me. The padding is fairly light and not overly contoured like some half cups.

The minuses: although the cup seems to fit me well width-wise, and in terms of depth in the lower cup, the top of the cup gapes a lot - to the extent it would be very noticeable under clothing. The way the cups are structured flattens me as well - no cakes on a plate look like I get with the Cleo Juna.

The band - I know Freya is renowned for generous/stretchy bands, but this is ridiculous. I measure 29 under bust and I could fasten this on the tightest hook with ease; the middle hook and the band rode up when I leaned forwards. This is the smallest band in the style; what about the many women with smaller ribcages than me?

A shame, as I had high hopes for this bra. I also tried the Lauren half cup at the same time and the fit issues were identical. I think I've reached the end of the road for me and Freya...

This bra is not owned any more
