I like the 30 band so much more!

I do think I'm going to post a fit check here or on ABTF.
I feel very supported and lifted in this. The wires are a hare too wide, but the cup depth is great!

When scooping and swooping, I usually push my underarm fat into the cups. Is that ok to do?
I was wondering because with my 30E longline, 8.5" depth is fine but I don't get absolutely everything scooped.
I also scoop everything into my 8" depth Deco bras, and if I didn't they would be too large.
I was partly wondering about this because I ordered Comexims at or above 8.5". I'm guessing two are 9", but mildy shallow, and one I ordered at about 8.3",8.5 tops. I definitely like the appearance of the deeper ones because my underarm fat is concealed in the cups, but I don't know if that's what I'm supposed to be doing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":p" />

Anyway, gorgeous design as I said with the 28FF. I think the band kept me scooped better, but this one is much more comfortable.

I feel like this bra is ideal for average to wider roots with maybe average projection.
The cups don't seem shallow to me, just semi wide. This IS a 30F, but my 30E Hopscotch has wider wires also, so I'm guessing it's just a thing with Freya longlines and possibly padded half cups(haven't tried them but they look similar aside from the band).

Cup separation is great-very close. Straps are closer together than the 28FF, by just a little bit, which works better for me.

Band is firm and seems sturdy to me. That's what I love most about longlines: I've never had one that didn't feel supportive, even my 32D's still feel amazing in the band.

The half cup is also a true half cup- it bothers me when brands release something called a half cup and it's clearly a full cup. I like unlined full cups, but it's still annoying.
Freya seems to not have a problem with that.

Material is nice and soft, very thin but still lined. Sort of similar to a lightly lined non winter jacket-without any heaviness.
I like Freya longline cups because they have a hard time standing up on their own when laid flat. They still give a great shape, but conform more to your shape rather than you having to conform to its shape- like the stiffer Decos.

Straps are fully adjustable, cups give a round, lifted shape. Seams do show just a tad under clothes but that doesn't bother me.
And I think that's it! Overall, another great longline. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Thank you immodestmouse for swapping with me! ^_^


Edit:

I'm so sad. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I tried wearing this again (this is my 3rd time), and noticed there is empty space in the cups, mainly on the top sides, but a little bit in the top center of the cups also (not near the gore).

After trying my Comexims and Ewa, I'm realizing that 8.3-8.5" depth is best for me.
I'm beginning to recognize a pattern:
In bras with wider wires(such as this at around 5.5"),it seems to me that I need deeper cups.
Even in my Freya Hopscotch Longline in 30E, has 8.5" depth, but the wires are a tad wider than I need, and I occasionally notice a slight quad (especially after Scoop&Swoop).
In my Comexim Joy Longline, which measures very similarly to this, I have the same exact problem with upper side gap.
The cups are too wide and a smidge too tall. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
My narrow wired bras between 8 and 8.4" depth, fit perfectly. I think i may be able to go up to 8.6" in padded, but that's about it, at least with wires under 5.5".
With wider wires I appear to need more deptg, but it's really that the bra isn't working for me.

I really love this bra, and I looove the shape and silhouette it provides, but I don't know if I can deal with having to scoop and swoop all day. The gap is somewhat visible under even a looser t-shirt. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I'm probably going to try it one more time, but I'm up to my biggest size of each month (yay shark week at 37"), and it's still gapping up top.
Ah...if only I could find a 30E :, ( I'm so sad.
It seemed to fit fine before, but I wore it all day and each time I couldn't stay scooped.
It was hopeless.
I guess I'm just slightly too small. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Edit2:
Found the likely issue:
Cups measure 8.5 in center, and a whopping 9.5 on top.
I'm shallow on top, functionally FoB.. I definitely need a cup down. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is not owned any more
