Probably my best fitting bra as of right now. Super comfortable and supportive, absolutely adorable, and the longline is super sleek and gives a better shape to my sides under tight clothing.

Cons: Some wrinkling on the underside of the cup. I have a lot of projection and fullness, and the very bottom seems better suited to those who are shallower on the bottom.

Also, the longline part flips up! I plan on stitching some boning into the vertical seams when I next drag out my sewing machine, because it's pretty annoying.

This is a beautiful and very comfortable bra, but I'm on the fence about keeping it because of the stretchy band.

Cons:
- The 30 band already feels a little loose on the tightest hooks (I have a 27.5" snug comfortable ribcage) right out of the box. I don't think I will get much wear out of it without having to alter it tighter and I can feel a little pressure from the straps on my shoulders because they are picking up the slack.

- The wires are a little too wide for optimal support and shape. It's not necessarily a deal-breaker but I can do better.

Pros:
- The 6 ... hook band is SO comfortable! I wish everyone made bras like this.

- The lift for my soft, FOB breasts is really great. They are up, forward and round.

- The fabric is really soft, smooth and pretty.

I am marking this as sort of a half fit because it fits OK, it's just on the tightest hooks. However, I think I would ultimately be happiest in a 28FF.

Let me just say I freaking love the aesthetics of this bra. The bird print...have you ever seen something so freaking adorable?! The lace is so pretty and the lilac color is precious. The longline shape is supportive and gives it a vintage feel.

The band on this bra sometimes rolls up. I wish the band was more snug. I also wish it had more than 2 columns of hooks so it would last longer. The straps are long, so it works well in racerback configuration.

As with most Freyas, I recommend going down to your sister size in Panache/Cleo. I wear a 32FF in Panache/Cleo, and I wear a 30G in Freya padded half cups, which fit the same as longlines.

LOVE THIS BRA! One of my favorite bras ever. The longline style is perfect and I finally own a bra with my proper band size! The color is a pretty purple and the designs are cute. I will be purchasing all the other Freya longline bras as I get the money.

Shoulder straps are a little more snug than I am used to, but the rest of the bra fits pretty good for my shallow boobs. I am close to not filling the top of the cup though and am considering trying one out in a 28DD if I can.

I love this bra so much. The colours are very pretty, and the fit is great. The lace around the top of the cups can show through clothes. If you sit slouched forward, the bottom of the band may also roll up (I didn't notice this in the Freya Piper Longline (1233) ). Like the other Freya longlines, there are only 2 columns of eyes. When I put this bra on, it feeld like it disappears it is so comfortable!

This bra is certainly an improvement on my old bras, but I still seem to have a lot of tissue in my armpits that won't stay in the bra.

Bit of background: I only recently started wearing my correct bra size, so I was used to a much looser band, and untacked gore, and basically a completely different bra feel. Still getting used to how bras should fit, so some of these comments may not apply to everyone.

From the beginning, I though this bra was beautiful and made my boobs look better than anything else I had ever tried. However, it was fairly uncomfortable, - the center gore digs into my sternum, and the underwires seem to be pressing uncomfortably against my ribs in a couple of spots. Also, because the straps are fairly wide set, ... and I have a small frame, I felt like the bra straps were in my armpits.

I had to gently bend the wires away from my chest at the gore, which reduced the pressing, and slightly curved them to fit my ribcage better. This made the bra more bearable to wear for longer periods of time, but didn't quite fix all of discomfort. What did though was correcting my posture. When I sit/stand up straight, with my shoulders back, I can barely feel the bra, and the straps are magically moved out from my armpits. (I sit at a computer most of the day, so I have a tendency to slouch/hunch over.) I realize that this may not apply to everyone, but it helped me a lot!

Abbreviated version: boobs look awesome, fits well, slightly uncomfortably wires, but getting better with minor adjustments.

I love this bra. It's cute. It doesn't give make a weird shape under clothing.

Still, it's not perfect. As many people have pointed out, the band tends to roll up. It's not uncomfortable, but once I notice it, it really annoys me. I do think the band could be a little more snug, so it would be nice if there were three hook settings.

I would like the wires to be wider and go higher on the sides to accomodate my wide, shallow boobs... I do get a bit of armpit fat while wearing it.

Great bra, just wonderful. Just a teensy bit shallow at the very bottom of the cup.
