This bra loves my narrow, tall roots. I can't believe it took me so long to try this one. Since I started my bra journey two years ago, I've been looking for something with cups that fit me as well as my old 32A Aerie Katies (I was smaller then). Now I prefer padded seamed bras to molded ones, but this bra feels like hands cupping my breasts. They are tall and open enough to enclose almost all my tissue, and the narrow wires are just amazing. I don't have a problem with wires that are slightly too wide for me because I have a bit of squish ... around my sides, but it just feels so much better to have wires that are narrow enough.

Under clothes, the top seam is unnoticeable. Maybe if I wore a very tight and thin shirt, it would show more. The shape it gives me is very round and tall. I don't really like how it emphasizes my upper fullness because it makes my breasts seem higher set. They also seem larger since the foam is so thick and stiff. I wouldn't say that this bra gives me any more cleavage than my other bras, but that's probably because I don't have much inner fullness.

My main complain, of course, is the loose band. It is actually very firm, so it's a bit difficult to put it on. But the band is simply too loose, especially for my 26" ribcage. As soon as I hook it, even on the tightest hook, the band starts riding up. It's not nearly as bad as a true 30 or 32 band, but it does feel like there is more strain on the straps. The straps are a tad thick and wide-set, as well as very stiff. It's not much of a problem, but I do have to wear the straps wider than I'd like in order to keep the top edge of the cup from gaping since the cups are so stiff. I'd also prefer the gore to be narrower, but again, it's not too much of a problem.

I love the look of these bras, but they just aren't for me... They always poke my sternum and I can't never quite fill the cup all the way to the top.

Oh, the t-shirt bra quest. It will never end.
I tried this bra in 28E, my usual size, believing my FOT-ness and tall root would prevent me from experiencing the gaping many experience with this bra.
No such luck.
The wires were perfect--slightly wider than my Cleo Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831) in 28E, which is slightly too wide for me.
But the cups were clearly too large, with an unforgivable amount of gaping at the top.
(Sizing down to 28DD didn't help. It's clearly a shape and not just size issue with this sucker.)

I get major gapping at the top with this. My more FoB breast doesn't want to stay in the bottom of the cup, and my less FoB breast is the smaller one and doesn't quite fill the cup. It's a bit ridiculous. The width is good though. The band is firm so far, and the straps are wide and comfortable.
This will not work for me under thin tops, but I might keep it out of sheer disorganization and wear it under tops with detail that will camouflage the gapping.
All in all, I would not recommend this for breasts that are FoB or that have ... an average-to-wide root. I *think* I have a slightly narrow root (or possibly average?) and the underwires are barely wide enough on the outside - but a bit too wide on the inside. It's odd.

ETA: Once I have two decently fitting bras, this one is out of here and onto the listings. I hope it fits someone else because it's just not right for me.

ETA2: I finally figured out what is up with this bra. I need more immediate projection and the straps are set slightly too wide (thus the gaping at the top). I can tell though that if I altered the straps, the cups would be too small for me. If I were set on a Deco (which I am not), I would need a 28F and would need to bring the straps in a bit.

I love the Freya Deco bras, they are always comfortable for my boobs. Only this one I bought too small. Strangely, in the store I didn't notice it.

I'm normally a 30 band, but tried this out thinking it might be as loose as the Patsy half cup bra was. Ouch. Way too tight- it ended up sitting very low on my ribcage as a result. Cups were too deep for my breasts as well.

Band fits nice and snug and the cups lay flat across my chest... if the straps are loose enough. However the wires sit on top of some of my breast tissue towards the sides making this very uncomfortable.

I really had my heart set on this bra as I've yet to find one that fits (other than the panache andorra)- I can't decide if the cups are too small (been wearing a 28F but sized down after reading it runs large in the cup) or if its simply not the right shape for me as I have wide shallow breasts and I always seem to get quad boob even if it is the right cup size.
Otherwise it is a very nice bra- my biggest complaint is the gaping even for someone like myself who has a lot of upper breast tissue I seem to get it when I'm not standing totally straight but again this might be a fitting issue. The wires are really digging into my side boob and the band runs large it could still be tighter even when I put it on the tightest hook.

First 28E bra. More comfortable that I expected this to be considering I was wearing 30Ds and 32Cs prior to this.

It is a cup size too large since the cup runs large, but it fit great besides that! My boobs are pretty far apart so it doesn't give me cleavage, but it pushes me up a lot. I have an even shape, maybe a tiny bit more full on bottom and it fits very nicely. The nude color also is a close match to my skin so it doesn't show through white shirts. I only wish the top of the molding was thinner than the rest of the cup so it didn't show through very thin and tight shirts. I can't complain much, though. I can't wait to try the 28DD to see it's true fit, though.
