Didn't fit

This bra looked as if it was going to fit when I got it out of the packaging, as the cups seemed about the right size, and the band didn't look too large. Unfortunately when I put it on it turned out I was wrong. The band was definitely too large for me, even on the tightest hook - a sign that I should have definitely listened to bratabase's recommendation of a 28 band in Freya bras! The overall cup sizes seemed about right on my breasts; however, they didn't work with my breast shape at all. I had two quad boobs where the top of the cup pressed into my breast tissue, something I haven't quite worked out the reasons for yet (something to do with the shape of my breasts, but I'm not sure whether that's due to full on topness or inner fullness or what. Trying on more bras might illuminate things further). There was also wrinkling in the top of the cups, which was only partially resolved by pulling the cup material up over my breasts ... before it resumed its wrinkling again.

Some positives though - the bra is a very pretty pattern and design, so if I did fill it correctly then I'd definitely be keeping it. Also the centre gore did press on my sternum, which is an issue I have with many bras, but this was resolved by having the spare space in the wire channels underneath the underarms into which I could push the wire that originally lay on the centre gore.

Cornflower colorway
