The bra is so cute design-wise, and makes my conical, somewhat shallow breasts look incredibly rounded and nice. I had no issues with the band riding up either. It is quite a bit stretchier than expected, as is common with Freya bands, but not by much.

Definitely need to adjust the straps, both because 1. they're longer than normal and 2. the bra has a tendency to slide down. I didn't adjust the first time I wore it since I thought everything looked fine and would stay in place - mistake! It was my first time with a "real", properly fitting bra, thus my naiveté.

Because of that, bra shifted through the day and the underwire ended up sitting nearly a finger's width below my direct underbust. Consequently, the gore ended up digging into my sternum rather painfully - I kept tugging it away from my body on and off just to give my chest a break from the pain. Once the straps were tightened (I placed the bra exactly where it needed to be, underwire wise, had my SO hook it in, and *then* tightened straps as needed), everything stayed perfectly in place through the day. Beware, the underwires still do dig into to your sternum - just not as uncomfortably.

The wires also are quite wide, they extend past where my breast tissue starts under my arm. However, there's been no problems with them poking into me and thus I'm not bothered by it. The straps are wider-set as well.

Apart from the issues with the center underwire, the rest of the bra is very comfortable and a good fit. There's very slight gaping on my right, smaller breast, but it's negligible. Design is adorable, and the shape the Patsy Longline gives me is amazing. I'm so happy with it, and it's my first bra that fits!
