I have been eyeing this bra since it's release at the Moda show. Someone had a picture of it in their blog and I had to have it! My favorite color is orange, and even more so when it's combined with teal/turquoise. It's not a true orange though, I wish it were, more like a bright coral with a hint of orange. Still...I love it! =)
Pros:
-Freya added an extra column of hooks, so there are now 3 positions to close this on!
-Cups give a fantastic rounded ... shape without looking too in your face, fake, or padded looking.
-The padding is really more of a lining, it compresses very thin so it does not add anything at all to size, if you're worried about that. I still have show-through but it's not that bad.
-Straps have a nice feel to them, textured without all the stitching which means they're more gentle against the skin but won't readjust or slide around on you.
-Longline style helps it stay in place better, so less riding around.
-Fabric is super comfortable! (Same with the matching bikini style bottoms, which BTW are shaped a lot better so there's actually rear coverage!!)
-Lace on cups is not itchy.
Cons:
-Because they added an extra column of hooks, this means the bra is now longer. It would have been logical to place them in towards the side, rather than out to the center back. Because of this, the band is longer than my ribcage around without even stretching it! =(
That's really my only issue, everthing else is perfect. I will be taking this in a some point. The smallest hook to eye measurement without stretching is 25.25" so I can wear this on the smallest eyes and have it with 0.75" of negative ease (ribcage is 26" measured loose). It's not enough but it will do for now.
