I found this bra on sale randomly and thought I'd try it. There wasn't much info on it in this size, but supposedly it's the same cut as Arabella and Ooh La La, so I checked the measurements and thought it might work. I wear Fancies in 28E and the cup measurements are a little larger than in other brands/styles, so it seemed reasonable. Unfortunately, this bra runs about a cup large and fits like a 28F, so it ended up being way too big. The cups are deeper than Arabella, Ooh La La, and Fancies, so I ended up not being able to fill the entire top cup at all.

A shame, since the band feels decent (no oversized Freya band here), and I liked the wider wires. The colorway I got is the black/blue, which is really pretty and unique as the blue is somewhere between navy and deep peacock. The cups are made of very lightweight diamond non-stretch mesh, and it's not as stiff as other Freya bras I've tried. The upper cup has a scalloped embroidery and a zigzag pattern (I suppose this is to tie into the "Pulse" name as it resembles a heartbeat). The center bow shares the same diamond texture as the cups, and the straps share the same scalloped edge as the upper cup. I appreciate Freya for making fully adjustable straps on many of their styles.

I think if Freya cuts tend to work for you, keeping your band size and sizing down at least one cup size would be the way to go.
