Didn't fit
I don't think I ever realize how much I missed having a 'cute' bra until I tried the Marina on. Seriously, the last time I was able to fit into one of those cute bras from the department stores was 6 grade...
I absolutely LOVE the dark floral (?) pattern of this bra and the satinny purple piping along the seams only make it better! My husband is the artist, so I'll take his word when he talks about the lighter accents drawing your eye around the lines of the bra (blah, blah blah) but I kind of understands what he means in this case. My Freya Deco is a single color all over and when I look in the mirror it's like, BLAM, there's two big splotches of teal staring back at me. With the Marina, it really does give you something else to focus on visually other than the breasts themselves.
Like my Freya Patsy bras, (which are half-cups as well) the fit on the Marina is pretty spot on. I'm tempted to try a 36F to just compare how I fill that out. I think I fill the cups of the FF pretty well (and possibly will fill better with time) but there is a smidgen of gaping at the top when I move my shoulders. Wires are well covered and do not poke.
Strangely, I think the fabric of this band is A LOT stretchier than the 38E Patsy I bought last month. Laid side by side, the 36 is obviously smaller than the 38, but it stretches nearly as far. It holds ok now, but stretches easily when I pull on it. I'm hesitant to go down to a 34 band, but I also can't try it with this model as it was clearance and the shop didn't have it in the smaller band. May have to look into shortening it myself to get the best fit.
The straps are wider than some of the other Freya models I have which can be a good thing. The construction of the back of the bra holds everything in place very nicely.This bra is not owned any more
