This bra was my first attempt on a Freya bra, after months of rage over Deco and it's fit...
Did Firecracker Sunset let me make amends with the bra? The answer is here: http://www.myfashioninsiderblog.com/2016/06/lingerie-freya-firecracker-sunset.html

Thank you lcl0706 and DressTheTwins :D
Isn't this so soft?! I was blown away when I tried it on once. Unfortunately, it's not the right fit for me, but it did win Freya some points in my book, because it doesn't look soft from the pictures online.
janearmena indeed!!! :D
Great fit! I've had success with Freya's unlined bras in 28F-30E. Their undies used to fit really large - I wonder if this change is general or just for this model.
erispe these are the only ones I tried so I can't really tell! What I noticed was that their a bit tall (for my personal taste, but for me, the smaller the better hehehe)
New bra, so no long-day review yet. Feels light and soft. Straps comfortable width for my shoulders. Band tight, but hoping it will stretch slightly with wear.

Very traditional, pointed Freya non-padded shape. Supports tissue on the sides, but does not bring in, round, or lift. Comfortable, but not overall a flattering look on me. I use this bra for travel or light lounging days, as it wears out quickly during the day and provides less support.
The band stretched out quite a bit with wear. Was disappointed when received to see that it only had two rows of hooks instead of three.
Pretty fabric and lace, though!

This bra is gorgeous, and it's soft as silk. It's a good fit, especially for an unlined cup, but the cups are slightly too narrow and deep for my shape. When I wear this bra, I find myself bending the wires at my sternum outward several times a day. I have gotten bruises on my sternum after wearing this for an entire day. This bra is so lovely I've been thinking about taking out the wires and using it for, at least, a sleep bra.

I've experienced the same wire issues with Freya: ouch!!! You can purchase different, more flexible wire from www.bravobellabras.com. I recently purchased a set and they are lovely :-)
I love this bra. Its so bright and summery! Unfortunately, the band is too big. I usually wear a 30 in Freya bras, and despite finding this on a fantastic sale, I can't justify the too big band.
As far as the cup fits, its exactly like my 30F Freya Ignite - in other words, a perfect fit for my projected, fob/even, center heavy, short rooted boobs. There's plenty of immediate projection, center projection, and depth. The shape is uplifted and gently rounded - not as basketball-y as cleo bras, but not too pointed (like my Freya tropics bra).

This print is so beautiful that the photos don't do it justice. Breathtaking. The bra itself is really soft and comfortable with a comfortably low gore. The cups are a bit deep/tall for me so I've since ordered it in a 30e, which is perfect.

Beautiful bright design! Classic Freya fit.

I really like this bra. I have a constant problem of finding bras where the cup is deep enough but the underwire isn't too wide and tall. I used to constantly have to alter my underwire (ie bend the crap out of it, remove it, slide out and trim it, etc). The freya underwire is much more narrow and not as tall. I in no way have to alter the wire, its perfect as it is. the cup is a little shorter than what I used to normally wear, but it isn't an issue at all. everything still stays in place

This is but a soft cup (usually not my #1 choice) but alas it is so soft, and so comfortable that I can't help but want to marry it! I often wear it for 12h+ due to schedule. Design of lace is great and doesn't wreak havoc on my slightly larger boob. Straps are fully adjustable. Pattern is gorgeous.
I'm even/leaning towards FOB with fairly soft and pendulous tissue and had no problems staying in this bra. It's also the first one I've had with wires that (nearly) were perfect for me.

CREAKY! This bra might have some old floorboards in it - sure sounds like it! Band was a little loose, but typical of Freya bras (compared to Cleo). "Natural" shape (some projection, a little pointy, a little low on the end). Not a favorite of mine, similar to the Freya Enchanted so if you like that this will probably be another good one.
