I'm generally not a fan of florals or pink, but I have been coming around to limited amounts of pink, provided they don't have a warm/peachy undertone. (Because orange hue looks awful on me.)
So, when I saw this pattern I was surprised to be drawn to it (I do like palm and vine prints), and decided it was time to try out the Freya padded half cup again, especially since I missed out on the Zentangle.
Well. Had I tried the Zentangle I would know then that I'd be entering square quadbood disaster. Seriously.
The cup is incredibly wide and flat. I could not get the wires to sit in ... my IMF, and the cups turned my boobs into a wall; flat up front, boobs pushed to the side, with spillage up top. Lots of empty space where the straps connected, the gore tacks at the bottom but tilts away at the top.
Visually, the print is excellent. I love the color combo, and as a lightly lined bra the bra is ... well super light! (nothing like my EMs). The straps weren't incredibly wide either. The gore is also not nearly as high as what I usually experience, and while the bra was comfy it just looked awful on me. I am going to exchange for the 34GG plunge version.
Sadface, this probably means the Freya Fancies longline will also be a disaster for me, so unless I can find a place to try on locally, I'll have to take a pass.

just a personal thing, esp when you say the cup is wide, i'd love a pic where I can see the side of the bra, where the wires end. Gives me a better feel of the width.
