My shape : pendulous, very projected, short roots, narrow roots but wide set, full on bottom, outer full. Freya Fancies is one of my best fitting bras.
I originally ordered a Freya Expression plunge, but not high apex plunge, and ended up with the high apex plunge by accident. The two cuts look a lot like each other, some sellers don't pay attention to that, and unfortunately the fit is very different. The high apex cut fits like a typical Freya plunge balcony, and especially Fancies. The cups run large, moderately narrow, very projected and very FOB. A perfect fit for me. The materials are soft, and the bra is elegant and very comfortable. If you need a lot of immediate projection and apex projection with cups that are very closed on top, and Fancies fits you, Expression High Apex will probably fit you too.
Unfortunately, this bra has one big flaw : the band runs large. Like, ridiculously large. Even a little bit larger than other Freya bras. I wear plenty of 34D bras. Expression's band is nearly 3 inches larger than them. It doesn't even ride up my back, it floats ! It's wearable on the tightest hook, although it rides up, obviously. The band material isn't to blame though, as it has much less stretch than other Freya bras. It just is way too big when not stretched.
I'm a bit disappointed, because this would have been a perfect fit if not for the band size. This bra is going to find a new owner and I'll sister size down.
