This bikini top is perfect. I love everything about it. The band is firm, the gore is high enough to contain my soft breasts, even with motion, the straps are central enough to stay on. The padding is quite soft and flexible. Why doesn't Freya make this cut as a bra ?!?
The cups run a bit small. I ordered a cup size larger than my regular Freya bra size and I'm glad I did. Band size is my usual. I chose to pair this top with a coordinating patterned swim bottom from a different manufacturer. I cannot abide Freya's various 3-4 inch rise choices in bottoms, not even to match a top this nice.
Very Cute Pattern, the fit is extremely comfortable!

It's definitely not my size. I need 28 or 30 band, and here the band is huge. I'm not sure, but I think it could fit even 34. But the cups are quite good for me, so the band will be shorten ( it's not a problem for me, especially with this type of braband). The cups are a little bit too wide, but hope this is not a problem as they are soft and without underwires. They are a little bit stretchy and softly padded, without push-up, so this will cover nipples and perfectly accommodate cycle size and shape changes. I have Hipster Gathered Brief Bikini Bottom size S ( UK) and this fits perfectly for my 88-89cm hip
My never-ending quest to find the most supportive, comfortable wireless bra option brought Atlantis Triangle Bikini Top into my life. A few months ago, PetiteCollegiate left a compelling review of this item and included beautiful photos. Year-end closeouts allowed me to purchase this for a few dollars.
The band does not run long like most Freya bands. This 32" band is supportive on my 28" frame. Not only is the band TTS, but also the band is supportive. My bottom-heavy breasts thoroughly appreciate these characteristics.
Center-full, close-set users: these cups allow breast tissue to sit closer to the sternum. Not often do my nipples align with a bra's ...apex, but they do in this cup. If you have more east/west breasts, you may not be as thrilled with this design characteristic as I. And, there is no gore wire https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Wire-free bliss.
Halters are a literal pain in my neck. So, I'll simply sew these straps to the back of the band. Voila.
Those sensitive to chemicals, this bra had a rubber-like odor out of the package. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" /> I'm airing mine on the line outside....
Because my nipples are sensitive and I like them protected, the thin foam lining is perfect. My nipples are shrouded without adding volume to my chest.
This will replace my Curvy Kate wired bikini whose gore hurts. Atlantis's support is adequate for all but exercising. This piece of swimwear will receive frequent wear throughout the year. Many thanks to PetiteCollegiate for her thorough review! Read more 168 more words
I LOVE this bikini. Sometimes when shopping for swimwear I feel like I'm lost in a sea of strange floral prints, so this bright colorblocking is really fresh and stands out. This is sort of a semi-longline, extending not too far below the cups. I don't have a problem with it folding up so far. The problems I do have is that it slides down a little bit, probably due to shallowness near the wire, and the straps are flimsy and strange--they're removable and don't stay on well and twist up easily.
Great bra, i have it in black&blue and it looks beautiful. It fits my "even" and average projected breast, but i think the shape is good for a FoB shape too, because the top of the cups are pretty close.
For my measurements, i think the 30FF must be a little better, but in France, the only big shop which sells Freya don't have the 30... So I take the 32F, which fits me too.
Très beau maillot de bain, je l'ai en bleu et noir, il est très chouette. Il convient à mes seins "even" moyennement projetés, mais je pense qu'il est très bien aussi pour des seins FoB car le haut du bonnet est assez fermé.
Au vu de mes mesures, le 30FF aurait été encore mieux pour moi, mais l'un des seuls grands magasins qui vend Freya en France (les galeries lafayette) ne font pas les bandes en 30... Du coup, je me suis rabattue sur le 32F, qui me va aussi.
No underwires, and I don't fall out of the center. Win-win!
I should have gotten a smaller cup size now that I see how it fits. I would love an adjustable back as it feels quite stretchy and the band is not as supportive as a bra so it pulls on my neck a bit.
The shape makes it a very accommodating top (unevenness or fluctuations in size).
I hope Freya comes out with more colors so I can buy another one.
I am not show what size I will look for next as it onlt goes up to F... maybe 32E or just a 30F.
I thought this was more of a dark orange swimtop but it is peachy orange and doesn't look good against my skin tone. i bought this swimtop knowing it might be too small but it was on clearance and a good price so I figured I'd give it a try. Cups are too small for me, I feel the band is a true 32,I am in between 32 and 34 band and it was a bit tight. This is a halter top.
I love the way this bikini looks and feels. It's really beautiful, and very, very comfortable.
On two occasions I wore it under dresses when I planned to go swimming and didn't end up going in the water, and it not only looked great as a bra under the dresses, it also remained comfortable for a good few hours.
I did pop out of it once or twice when I went swimming, but I fear that was more of a bigger-breasts-at-that-time-of-the-month issue, and as long as I'm able to rectify the problem underwater, I can live with it.
