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.
This bra is not owned any more
