Didn't fit

I recently decided to give some Freya bras a try after years of avoiding them. Back in the day the J+ range was just no good, scaling was just off and they weren't supportive enough. It seems that they improved some styles but there is still a lot of hit and miss going on.
Wires in general feel more sturdy in newer bras. This Florri bra from SS19 I'd put in the "hit" categorie. I was shocked at how decent it looks and how supportive it felt. Maybe I just rate it so high bc other bras by Freya were so bad? It's not the best bra out there ... but it's decent.

The fit: I went for 30K here because about 1 month ago my size fluctuated just a tiny bit lower and many of my bands felt too large. I can easily wear a 30 band in this bra when I need 32 in others. So I recommend if you like a firm band, to size down. The wires are of average width and height for the size range therefore just okay for me. I often have issues with too wide and tall wires in the K-cup range. So they did good with the grading here. The cups have a nice depth and the upper section is roomy enough to not cut in on full-on-top boobs despite there is no stretch lace there. The material feels soft and smooth it's a nice woven fabric. the lace is delicate but not flimsy or itchy. Cups in this size are fully lined on the inside. Straps are fully adjustable and quite long so good if you need that.The bra gives a really nice uplifted, front and center round shape. It feels supportive enough for a full day of wear.

I just have 2 issues with it: first the wire channel isn't very much padded and the wire can give me pain on the bottom towards my side until the end of the day. There is some slight wrinkling in bottom so maybe there is not enough immediate projection to fit properly there. It's not bad by no means, I still find this bra more projected than many others in the size range. Second issue is just a size issue as I recently fluctuated just a tiny bit up in size I get slight overspill on top towards the center. The bra is still wearable and one of my better fits these days.

  That bra is so pretty! I love the stretch lace. Glad it fits you well.

  This is a lovely bra. I must keep an eye out for it!
  
  In regards to your pain at the wire, I am going to go on a round-about gander...
  
  With a different Freya bra I have, the cups were too tall, and I decided to do a different alteration than I normally do to get a good fit. Instead of folding and tacking the lace, I shortened the cup at the wire. I folded the material and tacked it in place - no cutting as I was not sure if I would be successful. The alteration turned out beautifully, and the bra is in my rotation. Good fit, no pain, and pretty. Win Win Win!
  
  For me, when the cup wires sit too low, my ribs get painful quickly. With your comments and the pictures, the cup wires are sitting too low and causing you pain. Painful bras are no fun regardless of how pretty they are.
  
  Folding the bra cup at the wire and sewing it down would address the fit and pain concerns. I do not know alteration terminology, but it is like a dart. You probably would not have to do the whole length, just more at the center angling out to taper off at the sides. This alteration would allow you to have that much-needed projection at the wire as the cup is essentially moved down and more room is available at the wire. This would allow the wire to fit further up on your torso firmly into your IMF.
  
  Basically, removing the ill-fitting wrinkled part of the cup at the wire and raising the cup wires off of your ribs for a pain-free fit.
  
  If this works, you've just opened up your world into pretty, more inexpensive unlined Freya bras that do have consistency in their models and sizing. Win on the pretty and win on a painless fit.
  
  I want to know if it will work, so you must give it a go!

  bustyand no it's not stretchy lace on this. Maybe it is in smaller sizes? Im this size it has extra lining in top which isn't stretchy.

  edit: just checked it, the lace itself is actually stretchy but the lining isn't, which makes it redundant. :/

  jazzypants That sounds very interesting and I love to try this with my bras. I have quite a few here that are not super awful but just slightly wrong. I really struggle in my current size with too tall fabric under the arms or / and too much cup height - but at the same time don't have enough room in bottom and top center area. So I dread sizing up bc there will be even more excess material where I don't need it and some bras even poke me under the arms or the fabric comes so high it just bothers me. Do you have pictures of your altered bras? I have sometimes trouble visualize it from written tutorials :S

  jazzypants Btw thanks for suggesting and the long comment <3

  The alteration in the bra is not visible as I put a liner in the cup. To get a better visual of what I mean, picture this....
  
  Place the bra on a table in front of you with the inside of the cup visible.
  
  Horizontally, pinch the fabric of the cup along the wire for 3 inches length-wise centered in the cup
  
  You'll probably need an inch of fabric in height right at the center than tapering out to either side.
  
  One thing to think of is the height of side wires though you may have enough space to play with there.
  
  I do think this kind of alteration could salvage a lot of bras when options are not readily available or perhaps financially feasible. Or even when the bra is really pretty and everything else is lovely.
  Basically taking a bra without enough projection at the wire and moving the projection that does exist in the cup lower to where it is needed.
  
  Must try to see if it will work!
- jazzypants , that makes ME want to try this alteration. It could solve two problems at once for me. If I get the guts to try it I’ll let you know.

  Yes! Let me know and I shout out the challenge to all - I know there are lots of folk out there!

Right so this bra... I’m going to review it again (my old review was so short and not good) as this bra is the one I find to be “okay” for me, but still has many of the same issues as my other bras.
First off - Creasing in the bottom of the cup/space in the bottom of the cup. It is really frustrating to me, that I can’t seem to figure out why every bra does this. To me it seems like this bra is a little too wide so there is some flat space at the side and downwards by the bottom. It pokes my armpit on ... the loosest hook, while it doesn’t poke on the tightest hook (what’s up with that anyway). The creasing is as ever SUPER annoying, it’s like the bra slides 1 inch down and just gets stuck there and when I then pull it up, it creases. Which looks like my breasts are folding the fabric over itself (which they are).
But I do like the fabric in general, it’s soft and nice, doesn’t feel rough like some other Freya bras.
I can almost wear this a full day without too much discomfort, which is a big improvement from what I started out with - although you wouldn’t be able to tell from the pictures, the fabric creases look almost identical to the ones in my Primadonna Madison bra.
Well, I’ll be trying to order some more bras when I have the money.
Overall this bra reminds me of Freya Fancies

- Thanks for posting this! I’ve been coveting the pretty floral pattern of this, but have felt skeptical about whether it’s worth buying. I’m a 32H, so close enough to your size here, and so this helps me make up my mind
