I'm super pleased with this, frankly -- I have such mixed luck with bras that I was nervous about going into my first bra-in-a-swimsuit. Plus, I'd never actually worn a Freya bra before, so there were many new things happening here.
TL;DR: the minor fit issues I had feel like quibbles to me. I felt great in the swimsuit, which was my main goal. It was a bit snug in my mom-shaped midsection, but that's just life.
The band is too loose on me, so the halter part puts a bit more pressure on the back of my neck than I'd like, especially if I tie it too tightly. ...(I did the first time I tied it, then loosened it before actually swimming.) I'm a bit full-on-top, and I occasionally had minor cutting in at the top that varied depending on what I was doing. The gore is so close to tacking that I actually frowned when it didn't.
I did learn that I should look into more Freya bras because I loved the shape of it, and my nipples fell into a place where I prefer them. (I have very soft, pendulous breasts -- they can really end up pointing anywhere in a bra, which often bums me out.) That said, there is no padding in this swimsuit. The whole universe could see my nipples. Read more 118 more words
This bikini does not fit me properly (cups too small, band too large), but because it is an amazing piece of bra engineering, it still gives an amazing shape under clothes, so I wear it as a bra. I also like that it's lightly padded.
This shape is all wrong. I keep having to constantly pull the wires up and readjust my boobs. It would be better for someone who is younger, full-on-top, and has a shorter torso. I feel that the length is okay on me, but not with how low the matching bottoms ride. I want a 2-piece, but I don't want to be showing my mid-riff either.
I like this bikini so much I had a too-large top altered down, then bought this one from another member when the first one was just too big. Unlike my bras (which I prefer to ratchet down), I like my bikini bands merely snug so as not to emphasize my back's squishy bits. Also, a little quadraboob doesn't annoy me in a bikini the way it does in a bra. This slightly altered 34GG meets those expectations perfectly. The cups are constructed with a vertical seam joining the 2 sections and they have a cute style. The wires are a little wide, but not too tall, and ...are comfortable in all directions. The wings have plastic stays covered in fabric for extra stability and the whole thing has a mesh lining. The straps adjust fully. The band has a single color-matched plastic clip that stays put. The print is fresh and pretty, and there's a blue and white beaded dangle sewn at the top of the left cup where it meets the strap that matches the dangle on the bottoms. Read more 70 more words
Love this bikini. It's up there with the freya eclipse as the best bikini top ever. Great round shape, very comfortable, yet still shows a nice amount of cleavage. I can't stand all the fabric with bikinis in large cup sizes, I feel like I have a huge towel around my boobs, making me look even bigger breasted. This bikini is different though. I never have to adjust, everything stays in place. I normally wear a 32gg in most bras. I bought this in another color but bought a 34ff for the second one. The 34ff fits better but I can still wear the 34g. 32g would fit the best but I just bought what was a good sale.
