The underwires are SUPER SUPER bendy/stretchy and ended up almost on my back when I put the bra on. I ended up with the frustrating combo of:
- way too much cup room
- back clasped on the smallest hook
- non-tacking gore

and I think that is down to the stretchybendy wires. It was very painful to wear the bra for more than a couple hours.

I put them down on top of a 32JJ Bravissimo Dotty Spot Bra (AU08) that fits almost perfectly (a little bit of extra cup room) and even unstretched, the wires are MUCH wider. I decided, since they were so bendy, to ... reshape them. I made them a good bit narrower and deeper, using the Dotty Spot and fit checks to guide me.

That was a qualified success. The gore now nearly tacks, the wires lie almost where they should, and the bra is comfortable enough to wear all day with no problems/chafing/digging in.

In general, I don't think this is a great bra for small-band/big boob people with narrow roots. Could be good for people with wide roots.

Very comfortable bra but the wires are too wide for me.

This bra did not fit me at all. The band was too lose, the cups too small and the shape was more pointed than I prefer. The lace was a little scratchy. The lace across the top of the cup was very tight and accentuated the quad boob effect, if the lace was more stretchy then this bra may have fit. However as it stands I can not wear it.

So, I could probably make this bra work. It's close. The straps aren't so far apart as to be falling off my shoulders (which is a nice change), but are far enough apart that they throw off how wide the whole bra looks. The band is fine if I hook it on the tightest hook. I could jiggle and finagle everything into the cups. But with all of this stuff, I'd just get everything settled and then it would be off when I move around. I'm pretty sure I'm being overly harsh, but I think a 30H or HH would work better for me. It's a great-looking basic though!

My day-to-day go-to bra. Comfy fit and reasonably nice looking.

Very glad I sized down in the band, as a 32 would have been much too large. Sadly there is too much space at the top of the cup for me. I may consider sizing down a cup size.

This is one of those "it fits and it's ok" bras -- it's a sturdy, practical, everyday bra. I have it in white. the straps are really comfortable. It tacks and it fits well -- I have a tiny bit of extra space in the top of the cup but not enough to size down. It's not a thriller bra but the lift is pretty good (not very rounded but that's ok with me) and it's comfortable.

Purchased this in my normal size 32H. Band feels firm but not too tight. Cup size is correct - no gaping or quad boob. Central gore lies flat. The bra itself is very supportive. However, I personally don't like the slightly pointy shape (in common with most Freya bras) this gives me - I prefer a more rounded shape - hence this bra just isn't for me.

This bra is just the tiniest bit small on me in the cups, which is unfortunate because it's gorgeous and very comfortable. The side-sling construction also doesn't seem to suit me terribly well, because there's some wrinkling in the cups from the straps pulling my breasts outward (see picture.)

Other than those minor fit issues, though, it's a great bra. It's sturdy (could perhaps be more snug in the band, but it isn't as stretchy as some other Freya bras I've tried) and well built and very comfortable.

Pros:
Beautiful lace with a nice soft lining underneath so it's not itchy or stiff.
Comes in gorgeous colors.
Lovely perky shape that's mid-way between rounded and pointed.

Cons:
Prone to being visible under shirts; definitely not a T-shirt bra, though the lace is smoother than some bras.

The shape is wrong for me in every way. That makes it hard to tell for sure, but the cup is probably two sizes too big and the band could be the right size but is probably one size too big.
