This just arrived and I think I may keep it. I need to wear it around for a bit to decide for sure. It seems comfortable, center gore is on my sternum, nothing seems to poke, band may be a tad loose, but rides evenly across my back.
This is one of the most beautifully made bras I own and is insanely comfortable, so I'm really sad that it's now too big both in the band and the cup. It was always a tiny bit generous in the cup (I was fitted into it and there was no DD available - I made the mistake of going with the E because I liked the style so much). Alas, having lost a bit more weight it now wrinkles quite badly and will have to be stashed for that time of the month only!
The fit was good on this bra even though the band was a tad too big for me. The cups enclosed my boobs fullly but separated them way too much it got in the way of my arms.
When wearing it with clothes on it just looked ridiculous how wide my chest looked.
Unfortunately, I order this bra in both a band size and at least one or two cup sizes too big. I'm keep having to tell myself I need to get rid of it instead of keep it because it doesn't fit but I would love to keep it because it's such a nice bra. Seriously, no complaints at all (except for the fit).
The bra is very comfortable, the material looks durable and it would definitely look amazing underneath t-shirts.
This is a well made bra with good sized cups. There is very little stretch in the band so make sure you measure your underbust carefully when ordering. The colours and lace make it look attractive for what is a large cup bra.
Very simple but pretty lace bra. Comfortable, but the band seems a little loose. After wearing it two or three times I had to switch to the middle set of hooks already.
The good: this bra has wide, not very stretchy straps and a robust band. The bottoms of the cups are made of textured simplex. The cups seem strong and supportive. The lace is delicate but feels strong, and the bra is very pretty.
The bad: this is a cradle-shaped bra; the cup area is wider than the back band area. For a woman whose torso is a wide ellipse, I think it would be a good fit, but if you are narrow and need narrow underwires, this will be no good.
I was very much looking forward to this bra's arrival, but sadly, it is too big for me. The underwires are too wide and the cup is a bit large. I think a larger breast would fill this out and look smashing.
Once again getting the line on the chest because of my pushups. Otherwise the cups fit fine. I think the FF would be too big in the cups. I didn't buy it.
This was a decent bra, but I'm not sure if it was just too small, or it just was meant for bottom heavy breasts, because it cut in at the top. The straps are pretty wide set as well, and while they don't fall off, they sit at an uncomfortable spot. The cup also came up too high in the armpit, so it cut in if I sat down. (It could just be my poor posture, but the bra does come up rather high in the armpit).
Well-made bra, but incredibly uncomfortable. I followed the sizing advice on both Her Room & Linda the Bra Lady - both advised going down in the cup as it runs large. This was accurate. I normally wear 38F in this brand, & the E fit perfectly, volume wise, but it was completely the wrong shape for me. While the fit was great, the shape was just wrong.The wires cut into the sides of my breasts.
I clearly need a broader underwire: I had that 'trying to fit a grapefruit into a narrow bowl' effect. Despite reading reviews to the opposite, I find Fantasie's underwire shape to be much more narrow & 'V' shaped than the broader 'U' of Freya. It also gives a quite pointy shape. If your boobs are less wide, this is a great bra.
This was a great strapless bra that I wore until I lost too much weight to keep the band from sliding down my back. The only complaint I have is that it is a fairly traditional strapless bra insofar as it covers your *entire* breast and the center gore comes fairly high. So, don't plan on wearing this with any dress or shirt that is low cut, and don't plan on any cleavage. When I bought a new (smaller) strapless bra, I decided to go with the Freya 4233 and it has a much lower center gore and produces a nice amount of cleavage.
This bra fits well and is comfortable. My left breast is somewhat bigger than my right, so it can be challenging to find bras that fit; there is a little bit of space/wrinkling on the right, but it doesn't show under a shirt. Good support, though I wish it had just a little more side support. The straps do fall down occasionally, but I have very sloped shoulders. Where the seams come together (in the center near the nipple) can show under some tops. Leotard back and wide(ish) back straps help minimize back bulge. Has worn well without stretching too much. Not perfect but pretty good.
This bra runs small in the band, my usual band size is 30. It does not come in a cup size larger than GG https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The 32GG was too small for me and caused me to bulge a LOT.
For more information, see my review of the same bra in 34GG.
I tried on this bra in four different sizes -- 30F, 30FF, 32DD, and 32E. The 32E is definitely the best fit of them all, but it is still not the bra for me. The band is comfortable, and the cups pretty much cover everything they're supposed to, but I can tell there's a little bit of empty space at the tops of the cups (not terribly obvious because the cups are so molded). I think that the problem with this bra -- for me -- is once again one of style, not size. It is very structured and I think I need more flex. The bra also kind of gives a pin-up shape, which isn't really what I want.
Even though this bra fits me well, I would not recommend it because it spreads my boobs too far apart to the sides. It shapes my boobs somewhat pointy and spread to the sides which can be uncomfortable under some clothes.
First bra that really fits. So difficult to find sizes below 32 in band. Having a bra that fits actually makes my chest look smaller, which for me is a good thing. Not too granny-ish.
