Quick review -- I FINALLY have a molded bra that fits! As a 32J/JJ, there aren't many (ANY) options for smooth molded bras in my size, until now! Several people mentioned that the Freya Idol runs quite large in the cups, so I took a chance and bought one. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised! The cups are definitely roomy enough to where I don't have any quad boob at all, despite it technically being a smaller cup size than what I normally wear (so yes, it does run 1-2 cups big!) Of course, it doesn't fit as perfectly as a Polish bra, but it's close enough ... that I feel comfortable wearing it when I want a smooth look. Yeah, yeah, everyone knows I'm wearing a bra and seams showing aren't really that big of a deal, but I REALLY like having a smooth bra for those couple of really thin (ahem, cheap) t-shirts in my closet. I can handle the cups being a tad bit too wide and the gore not tacking if I only wear it once a week or so. The cups are a bit more east/west than what I'm used to (because Polish bras put everything up front), but I actually like that I have a different shape option. I notice that if my boobs are slightly a bit more out to the sides, then it helps contrast my waist better from the front. If my boobs are out front (as with Polish bras) then my silhouette from the front has my boobs in line with my waist. It's nice to have both options just to be able to create different looks.
I've only worn it a couple of times so far, but I'm impressed that the bottom of the cups hasn't collapsed by the weight of my boobs yet. There's slight buckling at the bottom and sides where it's too shallow/wide, but it's really very slight. It's not nearly as bad as the too-small Elomi Bijou Banded Moulded Bra (8720) or Freya Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) that I tried to squeeze myself into!
