This 30FF Freya Nieve Padded Longline Bra was another of a few different bras I tried on this week. In the pictures it looks like an unideal fit, but it was actually one of the more comfortably fitting bras I have tried recently and is probably a closer match than pictures suggest. (I will admit it's not perfect, but it's good enough to consider it a keeper) I was unsure if I would like the longline, but I actually think I prefer more clasps than fewer. (This has 5 Hooks per row, I think I certainly prefer 3+ Hooks per row in back) Like most 30 Bands, I ... end up hooking it on the tightest row right off the bat, but that's because my rib cage is ~28inches, 30 Bands seem easier to find in more brands so sometimes I go for it and pray it's firm at the underbust. I normally would not pick the exact print, I prefer satin/lacey blacks, and second I like soft feminine pinks/florals. This bra is Floral, but has kind of an autemn color pallet, composed of tans, browns, with black trim/detailing. The construction of the Bra looks well made, it's a lightly padded 3 part half cup, with two seams separating 3 pieces of each cup. The material inside is comfortably soft and I am happy with the look and feel of rhe Bra. I do wish the gore was a little shorter and closer, or perhaps touching/overlapping. I have lost some upper ffullness/volume over the last year, so I can tolerate the Gore on this but with the volume loss my tissue seems a bit softer. Gore's that are a bit tall with space between them tends to push my slightly softer breasts back outwards. The straps are fairly comfortable on my narrow shoulders, and they do adjust enough. The cup height is reasonable and the wires are fine, they are a little wide for me but not too bad, especially in this fit. It's hard to get a perfect fit because my breats are assymetrical, but this seems to be a decent fit on both, with the few minor exceptions that make it tolerable to wear. I prefer having cleavage as opposed to none, and although the Gore doesn't bring them in as much as I wish, it's better than a full cup with a similar gore size and style.
(My left breast is larger and Fuller with a somewhat narrow root, while my right breast is all around smaller and has a different and more narrow root that is a bit higher on my chest. I am petite, 4ft 8 with narrow shoulders so I think in general I have Short and narrow roots compared to those of the general population. I am unsure but think I am functionally FOB, I lost upper fullness with weight loss, but still have some inner/center fullness and my nipples are a bit spaced apart, related to the centerfullness and not much outerfullness at all. I believe I am fairly/somewhat projected, (I think pre weight loss I was Very Projected) my breasts do not look close set when unsupported but supported they are close/center full. I fit best in about about a 28FF right now, need cups that are nor too tall, and like my Cleo and Polish Bras the best currently) my weight fluctuates, so it can be hard to find the right Bra and have it continue to fit perfect. This Freya bra isn't perfect but worth keeping!
