Beautiful bra. Fits like other Freya half cups. Very comfortable.

Another Lauren-clone, another ideal fit. Still wishing for one that has the same straps as the Daydreamer, though there's nothing wrong with these straps. Nice and thick and stretchy. 32F is definitely my ideal size in Freya, even though I have a snug underbust of 34 (BTT is 31.5--I'm squishy). I don't love the print, but I just tell myself I'm a mermaid and that helps.

Gotta mess with the gore some because it stabs me--it might be a LITTLE too wide for me. But I'm also really sensitive to gore-stabbing. No way am I wearing Cleo, for instance.

First off, this bra is SO soft and smooth! Literally one of the best things that has ever touched my boobskin.

That said, the silky material is also what the straps are made of, and they readjust themselves constantly. Bump them? There goes an inch. Reach too far? There goes an inch.

I'm also FoB and projected, and was hoping I'd get along with this half-cup. It went back because the band was huge on me, the strap placement was very wide, and the tops of the cups gaped like crazy on my FoB shape.

I thought since this would give the same rounded, uplifted shape as the Patsy cuts, but instead this cut has a more natural shape. Not bad, but not the shape I was looking for.

The cups also give a lot of projection, they're deeper than my 30DD Cleo Lily for reference.

The print is absolutely beautiful though, I love the soft lavender and coral colors. This print would be lovely on a swimsuit, I feel like a mermaid in it! In real life the colors are a little more subdued than you might think, but still too bright to wear under light colored tops unless you layer up!

The vertical seams don't show up under thin clothes, but the diagonal seam does.

The straps are thick and very comfy. And as with most Freya's, the band runs on the large size.

*EDIT* i kept it, so ive been able to wear it a ton. after a few hours, i have to readjust and scoop/swoop for the gaping that occurs. i feel like its a combo of a too loose band making the bra move around and the width of the gore shoving the cups back and forth. the straps slide of my shoulders occasionally, again probably because the band keeps moving. all in all a pretty comfortable bra, but my no means a perfect fit.

I'm torn on this bra. it seems to fit okay, aside from a few small things. the gore is a bit too wide, the straps ... being are a little too far apart, and the right cup is gaping (which i always face because that side is shallower/wider). but it doesn't feel quite right, and i cant pin what it is. the band seems like it could be tighter, but going by measurements that shouldn't be the case. the bottom of the cups on the outside also seem to want to roll outwards, and I'm not sure if that is happening because my stomach is meeting it, or if its something to do with the bra fit, maybe needing more projection? I'm not sure. I'm at a loss with bras lately! onto the nitty gritty:

the straps are fully adjustable, yay! the band is hooked on the tightest setting, but it still feels like it could be more snug. it might just be that Freya bands and their thin stretchy material is what i'm feeling, because my measurements match up with this bra pretty well. the gore probably needs to be narrowed, as i notice it fighting with my boobs and going side to side a lot. interestingly, there isn't nearly as much empty wire channel in the armpits of this bra as I'm used to, less than half an inch. the cup on the left (larger side) seems to fit well, and actually looks on the borderline overspill in the center of the bra, near the gore. the right (smaller) cup gapes along the whole top edge, most severely near the strap and most noticeably when my arm is forward at all (like while i type this...grrrr). i feel like there is a whole cup of difference between them, its so frustrating! i feel like taking in the gore would alleviate some of the extra space though, so one day i will have to try that.

appearance wise, this bra is really cute. the straps and top of the cup are white, purple, and pink stripes, with a little flat bow where the strap connects.the gore has two small white buttons, and the pattern is this really neat sort of ..teardrop geometric shape? they are ombre coral and set on a pale lilac background, and it all somehow works. the cups are constructed like the totally tartan, with two vertical seams and one horizontal. i dont notice problems with the horizontal seam cutting into my tall tissue.

im most likely sending this back. i love the looks, but my 34FF Totally Tartan has been giving me issues, and this bra will likely fare the same since they are the same cut.

Fits nicely with a teeny bit of wrinkling at the top of the cup (is cosmetic, not from fit.)

Gives a early fantastic topless shape, but I'm not thrilled with it with the shirt on. Cute pattern. Overall, it's astheticaly pleasing, just a wider shape than my Cleo Lucy or Panache Idina balconettes. It'll do the trick, though.

The band feels loose for a 30; normally I wear a 32FF, but after reading reviews, I went with the 30G and I am glad I did.

I wear a 30GG, but that size is not made in the Freya padded half cup bras. I love these bras so much, the shape and uplift are outstanding, that I get the 32G and wear it on the tightest set of hooks. Works ok, but not optimal.

Well it looks like Freya bras are simply not for me. I love the pattern and fabric of this bra. The pastel sea shell pattern is so art deco I just adore it. The band is a bit loose, and fits best on the tightest hook. I like the shape that the cups give me, but the wires aren't long enough and don't encapsulate the tissue under my arms. The cup also puckers strangely on the left side, forming a vertical groove through the cup below where it meets the strap. It looks like I have the strap too tight, when in fact it's so loose it could fall off. Very strange.

So comfy!! Nearly perfect for my shape, only miniscule gapping in my smaller boob, still not enough immediate projection, pushes underwire down past imframmary fold. Overall a great bra!
