I have this in two colours. Probably my all-time favourite, so far. Very supportive almost full-cup cups that give me a perfect rounded shape. My breasts fill them almost perfectly with very minimal wrinkling. Smooth comfy fabric. If the band ran an inch tighter and was less stretchy, it would be my holy grail bra. I think I am even, shallow, and I'm 26" and 31--32".
Cups are generously deep, narrow, and very open on top. This seems to run at least a cup size too large since 30G is on the small side for me in a number of bras, but I'm getting wrinkling in the bottom *and* tiny bit of gapping along the top (which is the rarest for me). I like that it has a bit of room to grow since I do seem to grow quite often. The problem is that the gore is too tall and digs in to my breastbone. I used to have the Rio in 30F ages ago (red colorway) and the gore wasn't nearly as high on that size. I definitely need to bend it out in order to wear it comfortably. I think the gore, or the way I bent it, is also making it harder to keep the wire in the IMF.
Cup shape so firm, there isn't really room for many different breast shapes. Cups not too small but too wide so slight quad boob. Gives great lift and cleavage though.
This feels like this could be a very comfortable bra. I've never tried on a wire free bra that looks this good under clothes (read: that doesn't totally flatten my boobs). Unfortunately I have wide boobs. Without wires, they just move under the band of the bra and to the sides. It doesn't really bother me and it doesn't show. The gore feels kind of weird because it's not flat on my chest, but also not filled with my breasts. I'm not sure if I should keep this bra or not. Update: I got a 30DD a well, which had s much better fit.
I have splayed shallow FOB breasts. The fit is very similar to the Freya Fancies plunge bra. It gives me a front and center uplifted profile. I'm flat on top and get very minor wrinkling of lace at the top. The gore tacks. While I feel supported there's noticeable bounce when I walk quickly. The straps are a bit scratchier than Fancies and similarly angled outward toward my shoulders. I have fairly wide shoulders and can see someone with narrow shoulders having trouble keeping the straps in place. I like that only the top of the cup is lace because I've had issue with nipple chaffing in fully lace cups. The design is sexy playful and very pretty though not nearly as locked in place as other bras like Panache Envy.
Freya Rapture 32F- recommended by one of the lovely ladies here. Fits very much like the Freya Hero (as promised!). Gore tacks with no gaping at the top. Seems to have some wrinkles at the bottom still (seems almost every bra I tried on has this problem to some degree!). Teeny bit concerned about the sides being lower with my migrated tissue and all but not enough to skip this one.
Despite a bit of quad on my larger side, this bra fits quite comfortably. It fits about as well as my 60G/65F Comexim 3-part half cups. The only real problem is the bottom of the band - it's constantly flipping up due to the lack of boning that longlines often have. This is apparently a common problem with Freya longlines. I wonder if it would be better if I went up to a 30 band.
I've been wanting one of these bras since I first saw it over a year ago when I was in a completely different size. The print is exactly my style, and the little buttons on the gore are so cute. I glad I didn't manage to get one until now because it would have been much too large for me now had I bought one then!
I received this with one of the straps twisted and I couldn't fix it. The straps were rather wide for me. Unfortunately using the J-hook the straps were too short, maybe because of this issue. This is supposed to be a "balcony" bra, but to me it looks almost like a full bra. The front part of the straps were not soft and were very uncomfortable. The fabric of the wings felt kind of rough and wasn't comfortable either, so I returned it. A pity, because the bra did fit and I thought it looked quite good on me. I didn't expect a Freya to work as I'm wide & shallow breasted.
The fit is pretty good - gore doesn't quite tack, and there's a gap under the place where the strap meets the cup, but the support and comfort are pretty good. The cups are lined with a finer mesh than the outer lace, which makes them more comfortable. I don't love the way it looks, I think the wide straps on the outside are sort of weird looking.
The band is very, very stretchy; if I were more excited about this bra in general, I might sister size down a band.
My first bra that truly fit-- I'm still trying to get used to how tight this band is supposed to be! This is difficult to wear at times, since the thin lining and seams within the cup are very visible underneath a thin shirt. My shoulders are narrow, so the strap has a tendency to fall off. The material also creaks when I move, which is annoying but not a deal-breaker.
This is an attractive, good quality bra. I love the mocha colour and it gives a smooth line under clothes. It's not a perfect fit for me but I might still keep it. It gives great cleavage and I like that it is moulded and soft against my skin. If I wore a tight t-shirt, I'm pretty sure the quad boob would show, though. The band is snug for a 28, which is good for me.
The Deco Strapless is way wider than the regular Deco, which is a disappointment. The band was so tight that after a few hours of wear I started to feel like the wires were bruising my ribs. But most strapless bras are wide, and I like how comfortable this one is at the gore (doesn't stab my very close set, centre full breasts), so I'm keeping it (at least for now, before I find a better one).
This bra has been in the washing machine uncountable times due to extensive wear and tear! The cups have kept their shape (compared to other users measurements), but the band has stretched. I use this bra with a bra extension with a double set of straps (crossing them on the shoulder) for the best support. This is my best choice as it has the best wire width for me (I tried to bye the same bra in 36G before I found this page, but even though it should be a sister size in cup volume, the wire width is wrong and I lose the support). My challenge in ...finding a good bra is because of a big @weight loss. They are very sagging, splayed, absolutely no fullness on top. If I should find a bra according to how the look when I'm standing up, it would always be wrong. When bending over I really can see that my breast roots are narrow and they look like the letter U. This is why I need the vertical wire they use in a strapless bra to get support. To find the correct wire I recommend using the wire charts on https://braandcorsetsupplies.com/#shop Read more 93 more words
This bra band fits comfortably snug, and the cup size is a little large. The wires are too wide for my frame and almost rest on my shoulder blades in the back. The gore is also too wide for me (which is too common, unfortunately) and constantly crosses. I bet this would be supportive and comfortable in the correct size.
This bra makes me want to apologize to all my past and present Cleo bras for complaining about their garish colors and excessive lace and frills.
This bra has none of that. Just the standard beige t-shirt bra with the expected bows and borders. Nothing wrong with that, I have tons of beige t-shirt bras! Maybe this design feels more old fashioned somehow? Overall it just feels less attractive somehow in its cut and fit. The stock photo model has clevage but i have modesty.
The bra does do its job well. I was surprised the white seam disappeared so well.
I find the shape it gives me to ...be a bit minimized and flattened. The fit is confusing. While I originally thought it was a bit small, measuring it showed it to run large for a 30E - larger than I need. I guess it is a shape issue. I think I need more room at the bottom of the cups.
The band measures large, but it isnt one that has bothered me. The wires are hard and stabby, making me glad the band isn't tighter. Read more 77 more words
reminds me of one bra I got - it was plain beige but somehow ugly, didnt support me much, and 1just didnt like it. I was able to return it tho.
I have it too and also in the same size and I really like it (my review here: http://bra.pe/XQVs/) I wish Freya make another bra in this cut. It's not super comfortable but I like the shape it gives me and it's also almost invisible under white t-shirts.
