I got this secondhand in a 30H. I thought it would be fine (I normally wear a 32GG), but I think this must be an older Freya model as the band really isn't that stretchy like the new ones are.

I've had this bra for over a year now and it's one of my favourites (red colorway). It's classic Freya produce - dependable, thick-strapped, creating a natural rather than uplifted/rounded boob shape, and almost indestructible. The fabric is smooth, almost like swimwear, and the straps are very comfortable, but also very wide (you do not want to be wearing this bra under a strappy top).

I've altered the center gore, sewing it together, and after this small detail, the bra fits me perfectly (I am a larger 28HH/30H).

My cat scratched a small hole into the fabric of the cups about two weeks after I got it and the hole ... has stayed the same this entire time, never getting bigger (quite amazing). Also, once I forgot my sports bra before a workout and had to spend an hour jumping about in the Antoinette - and my boobs didn't spill even once!

All in all, I always reach for this bra when I am want to feel supported and secure. On the other hand, it cannot ever be called pretty or "delicate" - it's way too heavy-duty for that.

Love this! I like that it's bright without any fuss or frills. The cut gives me a much more rounded shape than a lot of Freyas. The cups have a little wrinkling at the bottom -- not sure if that's a shape issue or a size issue (I think they're just a bit shallow for me), but whichever, it's super comfy. I think I also have slightly too much center fullness.

Shape-wise the gore seems quite a bit lower than some of my other Freyas, and the cups also don't come as high (despite what I've noticed from some other reviews -- must be a shape thing). Band is much firmer than Freyas I'm used to -- I probably could have gone with 32GG. But it's not uncomfortably tight, just more than I'm used to.

I've had a good few Freya bras in my time, some good, some bad. It took a while to find my size, but it wasn't too hard to figure out. The 32GG Deco was 'good' in the cups but too ...

I love this bra! This is the first one I bought that is in my correct size!
The only issue is that at first it was a bit painful under the breasts where my torso begins to curve, but after I bent the underwires to fit the curve of my body, it's extremely comfortable. I have had this bra for about six months now and I can still wear it on the tightest fastening. The bra doesn't show through even my thin shirts, but it does come up a bit high so sometimes I have to be careful about lower-cut shirts. Also, the straps are quite thick which is a pity because I would have liked to wear the bra with some of my tank tops. The only slightly uncomfortable thing is that the straps are set quite widely apart, and sometimes it pinches a little bit of my armpit fat. But maybe that is breast tissue that is going to migrate?

Got this from a Bratabase member, so the band has already been relaxed. Band is very snug, but not uncomfortable. Straps are far too far apart, which creates a wrinkling in the top of the cup. If I could wear the straps wider, the cup would fit perfectly. I have narrow, sloping shoulders.

My apex is not where the bra seems to want the apex to be (I am lower and more forward--the seams on this bra meet higher and slightly more east/west). It gives me the rounded look many women seem to love, but rounded means my arms brush my boobs when I lift my arms because ... the boobs are now slightly wider than my torso.

Although I fill the bottom, I have this slight feeling of orange in glass--very slight but it's there (just a little more cup left over at the bottom, maybe 1/4 inch). Since the wires form a wider, more open bottom-of-the-U, I'm not sure why this would be.

So this bra will go into my rotation because it fits better than a couple I am no longer wearing, but it's convincing me I am not a Freya type.

Update Mar 1: Just can't make it work. the band is about 1/2 inch too short, and adding an extender makes the straps fall off (well, not really fall off since they are then too wide to even sit on my shoulders). The round shape is fine from a profile view but straight on it looks (to me anyway) like I have two large balloons on my chest.

The nude or 'barely there' color of this bra seems to run a tiny bit smaller in the cups than the red, but about the same as the black.

As one of Freya's older bras, it has a nice firm band (unlike a lot of the newer ones).

This bra flattens the tops of my breasts. The shape from the side isn't as round or uplifted as I would like it to be. The nude is a good nude for my pale skin tone and does disappear under white clothing. The band is quite snug for a 30 and has 3 hook and eyes. It has fully adjustable straps, but they're hideous and really thick. Overall, I haven't had much luck with Freya unpadded balconettes https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I ended up selling this one
