This bra is GORGEOUS but definitely too large in the band and too wide in the cups for me. Seems like all the Freya halfcups are too wide, but they're so cute! Best for average to FOT shapes, average to wide roots. This bra does only have 2 columns of hooks & eyes.

I wanted to love this bra. So cute! Gives a nice boob shape too under low cut items. Alas, the lack of boning in the sides means all the bottom does is roll which is realy not comfortable in the slightest!

I really wanted to love this bra but the cups are too small and the band is too big. I feel like the bands in the Freya long lines must run big since all three of the models I have were too big even before I lost an inch off my underbust.

This bra is great. It's my first longline, but it's comfortable and I'm pleased i can wear it under t-shirts because it's not lacy and bumpy. The only difficulty I have is putting it on the right way—too many clips to do in the back! But that's obvious, since it's a longline—I just have to get used to it.

Fit: standard Freya longline/half cup, which is to say wide, and shallow, especially at the bottom. The band is taller at the front than the back, and there's no boning, so it flips up easily. I sister-sized up in this as 32FF was the only available size at the time, so the band is too large. The cups run small as well; I've learned I should take a 32G (as 30GG doesn't exist). It's nice looking, not as pretty as the Flourish in black, which is to die for. I like the red trim combined with the green pattern. I wish the base were a dark forest green instead of black, which in my opinion doesn't look as good.

I've changed sizes and the 34 is quite a bit too big for me. The cup size also isn't right but is disguised by the open style of the cups. The underwires go back pretty far which is great for me. A problem I had with this bra is the straps dug in to my arms when I moved them. It was actually so bad that it left bruises. I think this may be partly because of the thickness and rigidness of the straps. They don't have any give when moving around. I remedied this by wrapping the straps in some thick cotton material. They no longer dig in and are now quite comfy.

I bought it NWT off an ebay retailer, thinking it would fit the same as the Freya Piper. Unfortunately, I find the band to be stretchier and the cups just a teensy bit taller. I don't know if the band isn't snug enough and causing overspill, but I can't fill the cups no matter how I swoop and scoop. If I move, everything falls out again. It's a beautiful bra that would probably work better for someone less conical/FOB. Interestingly enough, it has three columns of hooks instead of just two so it would probably last longer than the other longlines (like the Piper).

I have a Freya Piper Padded Longline Bra (1233) in 30F and it fits pretty well. I was afraid that the 30FF wouldn't fit, but I moved the straps a bit, which means less gaping and no rubbing under my arms.
It's a very pretty bra and not too visible under tee shirts. The longline doesn't flip up on me. It does scrunch a bit, but I don't mind. One issue I have is with the band. The bottom part of the band is looser on me since my rib cage is smaller in that area. I mean, I'm a triangle, not a rectangle. I wish they would have tapered the band a bit. I like that there are 3 rows of hooks instead of 2.

This bra is cute and high quality. It's by far the most comfortable bra I have tried, even though it didn't quite fit. I will definitely be getting this one in the proper size.

Another winner from Freya! Longline bras aren't easy to put on but once you get the hang of it, I think they're fabulous. This gives me a beautiful "front and center" uplift and everything fits where it should fit.
