Same weird problem as I had in the 28FF. I get a bit of quad boob at the bottom and don't fill the top sides well. It is very wide for my frame.

Yet another bra that doesn't fit me properly. Cup is too small, Band rides up. Straps sawing my arms off. But still a marked improvement from what I was wearing. Super cute every day bra. It may be plain and nude, but it's adorable. It's quite thin so no hidig if you're cold (or pieced teehee) in tight tops. Despite being thin the material feel very "heavy duty" and provides a lot more shape and sport than I anticipated. I'm very impressed. It has little lacey, loopy details all the way around which only exacerbates my arms saying issue. I never considered if I may be narrow ... or not, though I've read that the width can be an issue with most smaller band, larger cup bras. Speaking of smaller band, I also read a lot of reviews that stated this (unlike other freya models) ran true to size. It was larger than I expected. I currently measure 30" underbust but it can fluctuate and though I have back fat, my ribs lack much padding so I'm afraid to go down to a 30 band. Either way, on the tightest setting this seems to fit... Until a half an hour later when it rises up and drops my boobs out the front. *sad face* Nobody likes droopy boobs. Also as I wear it the quad boob gets worse and worse. There is a very slight gap at the top on me as well but I imagine that's due to the fact that I don't have boobs at my armpit shoulder junction! Maybe if I tried this in a smaller band and larger cup it would work? But I doubt if the straps would be close enough together still. It's a lovely bra and again, better tahn what I've had, but it kinda hurts. It's a good starting point though to figure out where to go next.

I like this bra because it has great side support and it's shallow enough for me. I do have problems with orange in a glass though I think, so it may not be good for full on bottom breasts. Right now I have a good upper appearance so I'm not sure if sizing up a cup would do well. The band fits great so far though. I love that my boobs seem to stay in place more than usual. I am still on a hunt for a great fitting bra.

Best fit I've ever gotten from an unpadded/unlined bra. The band is perfect and I don't see any of the shape-mismatch issues I generally get with softcups on my shallow/tall (I think) breasts. However (of course), it's like the top edge of the cups is too long. It gapes outward and I can't quite fill that top edge. The wires are a little bit too wide, but that doesn't bother me much. The shape from the side is nicely rounded and pleasant. The fabric is very soft and comfortable and the design is subtle and pretty.

This bra was very loose on me from the top of the cup down to the apex. Doesn't work on my shallow shape.
Like the Cleo Maddie Moulded Balconette T-shirt Bra (7201) , the lace detail at the top is smooth and wouldn't show through clothes.

Tried on in Nordstrom. I loved how this bra looked on me, with nice cakes on plate type cleavage. The bottom was a touch to shallow for me. I can see that the bra may be pushed down throughout the day with wear because there was about a finger's width of space I couldn't fill. I do need some immediate projection and I'm more even to fuller on bottom so maybe it'll be good for those who are fuller on top or don't need as much projection right above the underwires.

For me, the fit is kind of odd; it seems to keep my boobs a lot more in the center than the rest of my bras do, and depending on how I sit/stand it goes from teeny-quadboob to a bit wrinkled at the top of the cup. It's a different shape than I'm used to, I suppose!
I think the straps are also a bit wide-set, but they're very thick and comfortable, and ACTUALLY LONG ENOUGH.
It's quite pretty overall, too!

Gotta say this is comfortable with one caveat:
The side slings work only if you scoot the underwires so that they extend into the side slings, and even then they have a tendency to creep back to the center and poke me in the chest. Thankfully repairing this this is 5 min of sewing while watching Netflix.
Otherwise, it's a great unpadded option for the small busted - it lifts without drastically altering shape. Because of the lack of vertical seams it accommodates my FOT shape without quadboob or pointiness, and can even fit the pre-period XX-FOT. In the sense of fit, there's no cup wrinkling, but it arrived from ... Amazon with 50,000 wrinkles, which nothing seems to quite remove.
While the fabric is more solid than the average unpadded bra, it's definitely thin enough for headlights, and that's even with my nipples falling under the seam. Conveniently I tend to wear loose shirts AND don't really care. (All humans have nipples - got a problem with that??) The relative solidity of the fabric does mean that it's not a great candidate for icky hot summer.
The straps ARE super wide and placed FAR apart, but I have huge shoulders so all well and good. Wide straps = comfier. The band is loose-ish, but so far it works on the tightest hook. It does seem to made of solid material so it won't stretch out if I look at it the wrong way.
Like all Freya "nude" bras, this is SUPER pale, so you have to be an untanned shade of white for this to work under pale shirts.

I can not tell you how excited I am to have a second nude bra! While Freya has a lot of cute bras, few of them are really wearable under very light colored or lightweight shirts because they are colorful. This bra, like its sibling, has a seam that runs up about the middle of the cup, and the wings appear to come up a bit higher near my arm, but not uncomfortably so. I doubt that I'll like it as much as my Freya Deco, but we'll see!

The fabric on this is very nice and slightly shiny on the outside. The seam in the cup runs right about up the middle and hits my tit. This might be problematic down the road. This bra seems to come up a bit higher around my arm than the others, although not uncomfortably so! We will see if it beats my 32FF - Panache ยป Jasmine (6951) out as black bra of choice!
