    Didn't fit

    Honestly, I’m surprised this bra didn’t fit me. I really thought it would based on its shape and how it fit others. I’ve had my eye on it for a hot minute, and finally decided (thank you Pay Day) to scoop one up.

    It’s gorgeous. Sooo pretty, looks nice and delicate/feminine yet feels supportive. It has a lovely appearance on. But it’s sadly too small for my bigger boob. It’s quad-boobing quite noticeably.

    Positives:
    • A true to size 28 band from Freya, what a surprise!! 😂 love the fit of the band, perfectly snug.
    • IMMEDIATE PROJECTION!! Look guys, there’s no wrinkling at the bottom of the cup! I’m so ... happy because this hardly ever happens for me (especially in a UK bra!) but it makes it even sadder that the rest of the bra doesn’t fit lol.

    Negatives:
    • Only that the wires are slightly wide, but I would happily ignore this if the rest of the bra fit. But I think the wires would be significantly too wide in a 28J, however, I might still give it a try.

    P.S. Some people might find the wires on this bra a bit firm but they’re fine for me.

      marilynne berexxa Thanks guys :) It is lovely but the 28J also seems unable to work for me. I will probably be going Polish for good.

    Fits

    My shape: full on top, short roots, high set, very narrow/borderline Omega shaped, space between breasts, very soft breast tissue, pendulous, evenish to somewhat center fullness (5'1, short torso, store a lot of fat in my ribcage)

    I've heard a lot of conflicting reports on this bra, so here I am to add more onto that.

    I like the Offbeat a lot, actually! Firstly because its material is just so, so soft. It also has a lot of immediate projection, really thick and sturdy straps, and oh my gosh, isn't this colorway just so cute? Matching outfits with pink straps is such a dream!

    Most of the conflicting comments about this ... bra I've heard have been regarding the band and the wires. I actually got a 30H and a 28HH to compare, you can see my measurements for the 30H on my page. I liked the 28HH better, and I'd say I agree with the take that this is 'a true to size Freya band!' but I guess kind of with an asterisk? I'm used to 'true to size' meaning more like a half an inch to an inch smaller than whatever the band size is, and this 28HH stretches to 28 inches. Good for me who measures exactly 28 inches around snug, but keep an eye on that regarding where you fall in your band size if you wanna give this bra a try.

    The wires on this bra are way, way wide and also really firm. Neither of these things bother me except for some reason the gore was hurting me the first time I wore this bra? I've seen the gore on this bra twist on people with less space between their boobs, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I had to wear it with a bra liner kind of shoved upside down the first time I wore it. After that, it wasn't so bad. I guess the bra just molded to my shape better? I had a similar issue with the sides on my 30H - Panache » Olivia Balconnet Bra (7751) but that took a few wears before it stopped hurting.

    Overall, the Offbeat reminds me a lot of a softer, shorter Envy.

      wow, thick band and thick straps!
      Like, kind of surprising for a 28 band!

      I've been interested in this one for a while, and "softer, shorter Envy" sold me on it lol. I had an Envy a long time ago, and while it fit well, it was pretty scratchy.

      Sheena I hope you get a good fit out of it!

      The first time I saw the duck egg Offbeat, I fell in love with it. The following link to a picture of it's backside was so enticing.

      https://www.bravissimo.com/products/offbeat-bra-fy394/#duck-egg-blue-fy394deb

      But, after reading a review from a fellow bratabaser, I saw how tall the wings were, it looked totally different from the backside photo in the above link. For bigger cups, the wings struck me as matronly. I am sure there is a logical explanation for this but regardless, my enthusiasm dropped off a cliff.
