Really wide cup for wide-set breasts. Not a good choice for close-set, center-full breasts without significant alterations. The cup height may also pose a problem for full on top breasts. Straps are fully adjustable and covered by Coral Bay's sumptuous floral. This fabric is super soft and feels wonderful directly contacting skin.

I was smitten by the abstract, fuchsia-infused watercolor floral after viewing cupandahalf 's review. I should have just ordered a fabric swatch because wearing wires is simply irritating when they sit on breast tissue at the gore and underarm. And, when cups are too-wide-set, the underwire digs into my ribs. This is 99.9% of wired bras on me. Finally, there is no lift when wires tether my breasts. My wireless bras are much more supportive than this wired design.

Although these straps are repositionable, I was unable to detach one of the straps. I won't need to worry about one of the straps flying loose https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />

The wire is shorter than the underwire casing which allows the wearer to shift the underwire away from the gore. With this shift, a .7" gore height is created. So, an ultra low gore is possible with a simple wire nudge and a few stiches to hold the wire away from the gore.

The wire discomfort has diminished my need for this gorgeous bikini. Sigh. It may be a better idea to purchase a Coral Bay tankini and make my own swim top...

Amazing abstract floral fabric and best for wider set breasts.

This bra is not owned any more

  Thanks for the great review!

  It is literally the most beautiful fabric. I had to do a lot of sewing to make mine work though. A 36J had cups 9 inches wide!!!

  It's gorgeous! But I can see how the fit issues steal your love for it. I think I have some of your same complaints because I started yanking out the wires in all my swim tops. :( Thankfully they were tankinis and didn't require the precise fit of a bikini top. Did you find it gave a rounded silhouette? I tend to look pointy in Freya's but yours gives me hope. :)

  Brash5 This is one Freya that creates a relatively round shape.

  @cupandahalf Thank you for your photos!! Subconsciously, I had been searching for this fabric since I saw yours. :-) 9" is "so unbelievable"--EMF ear worm ;-) ;-)

  Beautiful fabric! Shame about the fit.

  Gorgeous fabric for sure. It stopped me dead in my tracks while scrolling. Bummer about the fit. I have a love-hate relationship with Freya. I love the fabrics and colors, hate the fit on almost all their bras. They’re wires are just too wide and the cups always give me a pointy torpedo shape. I finally parted ways with the bikini I had from them because the top just drove me nutz. If you dislike wires, try the Xhilaration brand from Target. Their tops come in D/DD size with adjustable tie backs and really comfortable.
