This has been a great bra for me; a perfect fit. I can wear it all day without a problem, and the fit is perfect; I get great lift and rounding over the half-cup without a hint of spillover. This fits better than the Freya Nieve half-cup in the same size; the Nieve was a bit too small, and I have heard that many of the newer half cups are a bit bigger.

I've spent a long time until I found it.
Lovely floral pink / green cups, green lace on top of the cups, cute ribbon with a rose detail between the cups and at the straps.
Can't say how good it looks like.

Well.. that said..
As for other Freya half cups, the shape is definitely not for me!!
The cups are not wide enough so the bra cuts into the sides, the straps are too close together, and the centre gore is quite high for me.
The shape is more for someone full on top and close set boobs.

So sad the shape doesn't work for me!
After keeping it for over a year in the drawer thinking that it might work one day, I reluctantly decided to give up.

Typical Freya halfcup construction. Doesn't really work perfectly on my breasts but is wearable. One of my boobs is full on bottom, and the other is even. This bra gives my even boob cakes on a plate cleavage, but none for my FoB one. Nipples sit very close to the edge of the cups and occasionally spill out during the day.

Fits better than the FF, see other review here: http://bra.pe/SNY.

Fruits

Band length: 63.5cm
Cup width: 14.5cm
Cup depth: 25.6cm
Wire length: 28.1cm
Cup separation: 0.7cm
Strap width: 1.9cm

This is the first time I've tried a "lightly padded" Freya. I own and love the Deco which is a thermally-molded, padded contour bra so it is thicker, and I take 1-size up from the unlined styles (Deco = 30G, unlined = 30FF, hence my id name).

The band fits well and the cup feels amazing in a G compared to the FF. I wanted to try 2 cup sizes to tell the difference. The half-cup style sits lower than a balcony, ... it is basically a demi bra. For this reason as well as the light padding I went with the larger G-cup because the girls sit more comfortable without fear of falling out. The shape is excellent, nice and rounded both parts: inside cup and tissue above. The center gore pulls away just a couple tenths of a centimeter but sits mostly flat when standing up proper and straight.

The colors are stunning and seem appropriate for year round. Color "Fruits" is floral shades of reds, browns & oranges with olive green trim. Some images online gave me hope the trim would be dark yellow but it's really a soft olive green which compliments the red tones very well.

Only concern is when I received it the inside of the cups were wrinkled beyond belief, I hope after a wash & air dry they might pop back into shape. Either way, the value of importing the bra by converting GBP£ into US$ was better than buying it domestically at a much higher price tag.

**Update: Happy to say after a thorough soak & wash with Forever New the cup wrinkling has mainly disappeared! Hurray!

Measured unstretched before wearing.
Purchased late-February '11 from figleaves.

Originally got this bra in the SS11 color "Fruits" Feb 2011.
Please see full fit review here: http://bra.pe/RIR/.

Tea Rose

Band length: 63.3cm
Cup width: 15.3cm
Cup depth: 27.2cm
Wire length: 28.7cm
Cup separation: 0.6cm
Strap width: 1.8cm

Randomly found & ordered the AW10 color "Tea Rose" discounted online a year later. Ordered it because it is one of my favorite bras and because the price was really worthwhile.

Fit is identical though when I first tried it on my mind played a trick on me: I felt like the cups were cut a bit more plunging. Then I placed the other bra directly on top and they are exactly the same!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Colors are *stunning* shades of burgundy, deep pink, greys and trimmed with intense pink lace and bows.

Measured unstretched before wearing.
Purchased early-April '12.

I like this bra mostly because its design, which is unique, must say. I love the colours! It was my first "correct size bra" and it was sooo much better than in my old 34DD. But compared to Ewa Michalak bra, lays this one now all the time in my closset. The fit is not bad, but i would prefer the cups more close together, to lay my boobs more to the centre. It makes a narrow line. The underwires end in the back side little too low. The bra is slightly padded, very thin.

This bra is pretty comfortable. It is definitely better for someone with full, wider-set breasts as the cups are very wide. This works for me as my breast tissue/attachment continues pretty far under my arms as well as being fairly dense meaning it needs a deep cup to have somewhere to go and not end up with quadboobs.

The bra is lightly padded (it's more a thick lining than actual padding) and seamed. The color is pretty bright and it's definitely not something I would wear under a white shirt. The band has stayed pretty tight and not stretched out like the Freya Deco. I've had this bra for several months with heavy wear and still wear it on the outermost hook.
