Absolutely gorgeous bikini top – just too big in the band AND in the cups, I'd need a 30GG.

I have freya ashlee 32g, but freya calamity is big in the cup.

At first I got this bikini in 30E but I was quadboobing, so I got it also in 30F. I usually wear bras in 28F.
The band is tight enough for me. The cups are now much better. Some minor folding under the cups, and I don´t think the center gore is tacking perfectly, but this is a good enough fit for me in a bikini (they´re so hard to find!) https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The wires are very wide! but for some reason I find them comfortable and good. There are no normal straps but one thread that you can fasten to however short or long you want to.
I think this bikini fits quite well, but I will not declare it a perfect fit. There are many minor things that could be better but it is definitely good enough for me!

The band is really snug. I found the underwires too wide and the center gore too wide. I pulled in the center gore a little, and bent the wires.After the alterations, it is really supportive, and it's comfortable. I think the cups run a little on the larger side.
This swimsuit is absolutely gorgeous. I prefer swimsuits with foam lining- but unfortunately the siren did not have that option.

I bought this knowing it was too big, but I couldn't find my correct size one season too late. I still need to alter it before I can give a review.

This is a great fitting bikini. I would say it would fit a size 32-34 FF-H. The cups are stretchy. I love the heart detail on the top and bottoms. It's an underwire but does not look like a bra.

I like this a lot. It's cute & while I do get some quad-boob, it's nice for the cleavage effect without being too much. Material feels very nice with light padding and a snap close at the back. The only reason I can't fill the sides are because my breasts are extremely extremely narrow. That being said, freya is a close enough fit & glad I got this one. Very comfortable & supporting.

This bikini top is absolutely gorgeous. I've learned from it, however, that in Freya bikini tops I definitely need a 30D. The cups on the Venetian Plunge divide my breasts into quads and they do not contain armpit roll. I weigh 97 lbs and I have a very small frame. I usually wear 28 band bras on the tightest hooks, but the combination of a 28 band with a D cup in a swim top is just too small. I can make the top work; because it's a "plunge" the rolls of tissue look quite Victoria's Secret, but it's not a look I would choose to sport if this top wasn't so lovely.

It's a very supportive unpadded bikini, and the vertical seam seems to lessen the nipple show that can happen in unpadded bikinis.
The cups run a little small, but in my experience Freya bikinis expand a little in water, so this might be the case.
The band is a firm 28, and was fine on my 26.5" ribcage when I tried it on.

Really cute bikini, same cut as the Freya pier.
Seems to run a little small in the cups, but actually expands a little once it gets wet, so is really quite true to size.
Gives a little hint of cleavage and the ruffles are very cute especially on a smaller-average sized chest. I can't really say much more about this as it is not the right size for me.

This bikini is really beautiful and good quality. Straps very sturdy, very good quality lycra, and good shape for support.
The raffles are great if you love them, though I'm seriously thinking of cutting them out, as I see my boobs even bigger when I wear it.
About the size, it is probably one size too big in the cups for me. I tried the 32FF and it was too small, though I needed 2 more sizes. I can wear it, but it would probably be better in a 32G.
The firs days wearing it I was very happy, but the more I use it the more uncomfortable I find ... it. I think it's because the cup is too big as I said. The wire seems very big for me, I can't quite fill the bottom and on the side it goes too far away, so it is not the most comfortable bikini ever for me.
If the shape is right for you, the bikini top is awesome. For me, I fond the wires a bit too big, although I use it anyways and I'm not unhappy.

I have wide-root, separated breasts that naturally fall into my underarms.I don't know why this bra is considered to be "padded". It has underwire, but there is no extra material under the lining. This does not seem to add any bulk at all. It's beautiful, with vivid flattering colors, and it's comfortable, too.

Well. This settles it. Freya bikinis are for me! I have now tried a freya tankini and now this bikini, and they are SO compatible with my shape. You can see some of my other reviews for Figleaves and Panache bikinis.
One of my main issues with bikinis and bras in general is that the gore is too wide and the cups are too wide. In this bikini, the gore is a lot lower, as it's a plunge, and the cups are plenty fine. Still a little wide, but not in a way that distorts the cup.
This bikini is lightly lined, but not really padded. I thought the ruffles ... would be too much on my pretty ample chest, but it's not -- it's enough to be frilly and cute but not overwhelming. This bikini also holds you in firm without being too sexy or cleavage-y, which is nice!
I ordered the top from someone on a FB buy/sell/trade group. It didn't come with bottoms, so I ordered the bottoms for about $9 shipped on ebay in a size 10 UK. I normally wear an XS everything, but I found that size 10 in the bottoms was good -- it covers my tushie and hips and isn't baggy, but I think a size 8 would have been too revealing for my tastes.
I now want to buy a bunch of freya bikinis in a bunch of sizes! And more of the pier in different colors! I totally recommend this to anyone who has a narrow root and needs some projection.
Also, I typically wear 28 bands and measure small underbust. I found this to be tight enough for a bikini with no riding up. It is plenty tight for someone who needs 30 bands, and adequately tight for a 28 band wearer, in my opinion.

This is a very pretty bikini but unfortunately doesn´t fit very well.
I usually wear 28F and I got this in 30E. The 30 band is snug enough for a bikini. But the cups don´t fit me very well. I get some quadboobing. I also have some wrinkles at the bottom of the cups but if I tighten "the straps" then quadboobing gets worse. Seems I have all the same issues in all my bikinis... I think I should´ve got this in 30F.
Funny that this model has quite wide wires, but I don´t find them too wide. It´s got to be due to something in the shape of the wires... Other bras / bikinis that have narrower wires according to measurements I have found too wide!
This bikini top doesn´t have "straps", but it has one thread that you can adjust to how ever long or ahort you like.

I was a bit worried that the 28 band might be too tight, especially because after ordering this i received another Freya bikini top in 30E and the 30 band was okay. Luckily the 28 band is okay https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bikini is beautiful, it is aqua blue or turqouise, and it has see-through plastic "stones" in the straps. The band fits well, straps are okay and adjust all the way, wires are wide enough and cups right size, BUT the upper seam of the cups is tight, and it cuts in. I get quadboob https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think the shape is just not compatible with me. Other than that I absolutely love this bikini.
The bottom I have in UK/EU size M and I find it fits true to size.
EDIT. I also get wrinkles at the bottom of the cups. It goes away if I shorten the straps but then the quadboobing is worse.

I bought this discontinued bikini style on clearance from an online seller. I've had good luck with Freya bras in the past, so I thought I might take a gamble on their swimsuits. I am not impressed. The sizing is all over the place - the band runs AT LEAST a size large (probably more once it gets wet and stretches out), whereas the cups run a full size small, and have no structure to speak of (so will probably deform like crazy in water). The matching briefs also run about a size large.
The bra hooks in the back with one of those little plastic snappy doodads, It seems like it would come unhooked quite easily, and leaves no room for adjustment as the band stretches.
The pattern is admittedly eye-catching, though it was not particularly flattering on me. This all being said, it was still a decent bargain for the $35 I paid for the set, so I might try sewing in the band to tighten it, and wear it anyway.

Very cute Bikini top. The band is a little tight, but not too tight to wear (though it might give me a bit of back fat). The cups are a little small, when in properly there's a bit of quadboob and the gore doesn't tack. However, it's a bathing suit so it doesn't have to be perfect. I'll see about switching it out for a different size but no big deal if I don't.

The cups turned out to be too big for me, so I can't tell a lot about this bra. I bought it because I really liked the color and it seemed very simple and stylish. The bra is comfortable and soft, the band fits well, the wires don't poke.

This top was super cute and I was sad to return it, but it didn't really feel secure. It seemed like the right size, but the wires seemed too flimsy. When I moved around the gore seemed like it didn't want to stay pressed against my chest, and I couldn't risk that happening at the pool.
