Didn't fit

Ok. I was scared to size down this much but I guessed right. My normal size is a 36g. I tried a freya active in the sister size 38ff, and it was huge huge on my shape. Band was ok though...

Fast forward: found a 38E on ebay for $15 NWT so tried. Fits much better!
(Think I am getting reverse letterophobia .... I don't like the sound of 38E nearly as much as 36g or 34gg)

Freya Active Underwired gives a fairly pointed shape, but I don't mind because it gives good support. The gore does not tack on me, but 2 sizes up didn't tack either. I am close set (like- only 1 underwire fits between), and this bra is looking for boobs with more separation. The wires run much wider than the normal freya wires, which is another reason I needed to size down. Encapsulation type bras push both up on the breast from below and down on the bra from above, so if you are very full on bottom or pancake shaped, you might want to size down too. Band seems tight enough sizing UP to me. Not stretchy like normal Freya.

Cons: don't love the nude color, the black is way cuter. But I suppose it could do double duty as a regular bra.
I wish the straps were shorter or more adjustable. I am high set and I can tell I would get even more support if the straps were more snug.
