I wear a 32E in the Offbeat Side Support, because the band on that style runs small. When I decided to try the plunge version, I started with 32E and 32DD, assuming it would be the same. The cups of the plunge are significantly deeper, so the 32DD was a much better fit. However, the band of the plunge runs true to size, and was too large in 32. So, I decided to try my usual band length and ordered a 30E. Much better fit!

The tops of the cups and the gore are a bit wide for me. Considering overlapping the gore to address both issues.

Edit: I ended up deciding that the cup shape is off enough for me not to keep this bra. It’s so close! But just not quite right.

I like the Offbeat Side Support, so I decided to try the plunge. While a wear a 32E in the side support style, the plunge fits much better in a 32DD. However, the band of the plunge is much, much longer! (We’re talking multiple inches.) So, I’m going to try sister sizing to a 30E in this one. I do measure as a 30 band, so I think the plunge band actually fits truer to size.

Shape is rounder than the side support version, which I like. Cups are narrower, but they’re significantly deeper, too. (In the side support, I ended up bending the wires to make them narrower and give the cups some additional depth.) Gore is the teensiest bit shorter in the plunge. Straps are narrow set enough, which is great!

I think it's a pretty good fit! The top lace near the strap is a bit tight and could cause quadding, but it's pretty good! Slight wrinkles at the seams, but the fabric seems stiff so I assume it'll get better over time and washes. It still seems to flatten the sides of my boobs a bit, but it's much better than the other sizes I've tried.

The elastic across one of the cups is tighter than the other, so it's messing up my fit a bit. It's causing a mix of slight quadding and some wrinkling in the cup, so the fit is weird. That's also my larger side, the one I usually judge by, so I'm going to extrapolate the fit from my smaller side for this one.

I feel like this bra would fit quite nicely if the cups were symmetrical. The color is beautiful, and otherwise the fit is good. The straps are adjusted all the way and are just a little too short, so I think it'll be fine after they stretch out from wear. As usual with most of the side support styles so far, the cup wrinkles at the sides (especially when I raise my arm). I feel like this style is pulling me a bit east-west, which might also be contributing to the wrinkling.

Really beautiful bra! Fits true to size, the band rides up on me but that's because I should be wearing a 26. Only one hook closure which doesn't bother me but might be noteworthy for some. Center gore floats just a little but this is the best fitting bra I've tried so far! Also gives a nice round shape under clothes https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I tried this bra because I really liked the offbeat balconette, other than the gore which was too high for me. I had hoped that the plunge would solve that problem, but the gore seems just as high. It just ended up giving me extra fabric at the top of my breast which isn't good for me being bottom heavy.
It fit similar to other Freya's I have tried. One odd design choice is that made it a one clasp back, which feels unnecessarily dainty. I didn't notice a lack of support in the 30s I wore it during the try on, but I would be nervous it wouldn't feel secure throughout the day.

The fit is weird on me because of my short roots and soft tissue. The elastic on the stretch lace upper section makes it cut in. I wouldn't call it quadding, but it's not very flattering. The cups are also too tall for me, so I don't fill out the tops. I still kind of get the rounded shape I'd expect from a supportive bra, but it's hidden under the extra lace section at the top. I meant to get the side support version, not the plunge, so I guess it is my fault for not checking more closely what I was buying.

So close! If this band wasn't so stretchy this bra would have fit. I have the Signature Plunge and this fits pretty much the same aside from the crazy huge band. I think they are essentially the same cut and the Signature Plunge fits me well. So if that style fits you but the band is too tight this one might work for you.

HOW IT FEELS: Same cut as Freya Fancies AA1011.
I was skeptical of the single hook on the back of the band, but the rest of the bra is so well constructed it feels solid. It’s unconventional and cute on the back. I love the lace – the top cups are stretchy without the mesh lining and allow my breasts to be their own shape. There’s no extra side support panel, but the construction seems to still pull everything forward. I really like how this bra feels on!


ABOUT ME: Tall roots, very close set (less than a pinkie width between breasts), slightly center full, even vertical fullness (possibly ... functionally FOT due to tall roots). Average for projection, root width, and tissue softness/firmness. I think my tissue is soft enough to where shallower bras can work ok for me if they're more open on top, or taller cups.

BEST FITS: High apex and plunges

Bra feels comfy but the straps pull my soft tissue too much on the sides giving me a weird shape. The difference in fabric thickness at the bottom vs the top gives me a quad boob effect. It would have fit better if the fabric was double lined all throughout. The fabric curled slightly at the very top. Not a good fit for me.
