Not loving the material or fit of this bra. Cups are oddly shaped for me. Sizing up will not fix this. Just get an overall bleh feeling with this one. Cups are too separate for me.

I appreciate the feedback and comments! I have been wearing a 32D in a Chantelle Comfort Chic full coverage for years but my bra is over a year old. The band is stretched and loose and the cups were never perfect but I can tell it's not the right cup size. Abtf says I'm a 30dd/e which is the sister size of 32d/dd. I have never worn non padded bras and after trying all the ones I have posted recently I have made a new order for some 30e and 32dd/e just to compare.
I always thought I was FOB and shallow on top because my tissue lays on my ribcage past the fold. I read last night on abtf that those with close set, center full and wide root could have an underestimated size on the calculator . Any advice or brands that would be good for close set would be appreciated! I always have spillage right by the gore. This is all overwhelming haha, my breasts appear droopy to me but there's a lot more tissue than I think I have (more than my hand in a push test) and the tall/short root thing really confuses me.
Also, on the Chantelle revelle moi fit you can see the coverage is better but a size up imo won't help the center area for me :(
Elladeer Sadly my breasts are the exact opposite of yours. I'm a far set and even fullness. My size on ABTFs was 34F, which was 34G in US I think. The calculator over estimated me because I only had 2 inches between my standing and leaning. This makes the calculator take the larger number. If I did the same number as leaning I got 34DD, which is my actual size. I am currently in love with the Chantelle Norah. I would suggest giving that one a try, it's the softest bra I've ever tried and the band is super stretchy but supportive. I'd suggest maybe ordering an Amazon try before you buy, if you can. In your current size, then a sister size up in cup and see how those fit.
As for the center area, it might depend on the projection of the bra. Are these all recommendations from your previous bras here? The ones your trying now? Maybe look at the Chantelle Comfort Chic in your size and look at similar bras the site lists. Maybe you'll find something.
I love this color! I incorrectly ordered a 28 F in black previously, so I know that size fits. 28E Med Blue is better than this fit, too.
If you are here wondering about this bra - I do recommend it. I have soft, full-on-top, center-fullish tissue. Oh, asymmetric breasts, too! Still, I LOVE this molded bra. Just in a smaller size than I typically wear in UK-wired, seamed bras.
I will return this & exchange it for a 28F.

I ordered this size in error - I usually wear 28 FF or 30 F. I was pleasantly surprised that it is a *perfect* T-shirt bra for my FoT, soft, asymmetrical breasts. I never use the front detail straps, but some may like them.
It is comfortable, supportive, & gives great cleavage. I just received a 28 F in black & found the fit similar. I had to shorten the strap on my smaller side a smidge.
Update: I *know* this bra is not a good fit. I should try it in my calculator size. Regardless, I wore it today for 10+ hours and decided to update the measurements & add photos.
It was again comfortable, except for some irritation under the strap on my smaller side at hour 9. The quadding on my larger side wasn't notable under a cashmere sweater (I checked in mirrors several times).
I LOVE the color. I reach for this bra over the better-fitting 28F. Still, I need to try a 28FF or 30F someday.

idk if i just got a bad batch or if the entire line is like this but dang these cups are so so so shallow. i received it in the mail and genuinely thought I bought the wrong size. nope, ‘tis the 28FF through and through.
I realized through this bra that I am not in fact a 28FF and would have to size up at least two to three cup sizes to not have atrocious quadboobing and a suffocating band.
Thats the other thing- this band runs loose. I am pretty much a true 28 band, and when I did the test where I flipped it upside ... down and backwards it was slipping off my torso when I moved. The only reason why I felt suffocated was because these cups are so dang small on me (my fault, however, the cups are still quite shallow)
This did give me insane cleavage without the crazy VS padding though which I like. The thick straps are also a W. Overall a great bra if it fits you lol, but unless you have a shallow shape it wont work the best. I cant say for certain that this bra runs small in the cup because I don’t know my bra size well enough, but for projected breasts like mine these definitely aren’t the best option.

Compared to the same bra in 32D, 30DD offbeat side support does look a little more projected on my body, not sure if that's a good sign of fit or not since my shape is shallow. The bra itself is comfortable, band is comfortably tight, but so is 32D just slightly looser. I still struggle with positioning once any bra is on. I think this fits, but I'm curious if I could do better, especially with seamed lace style bras.

I'm not sure if it's a projection issue, but my breast tissue was not able to sit in the bottom of the cups. This bra runs large, I may have been able to try another cup size down, but the wires were already too narrow. The gore is narrow which is great for me.
I am close set, center and top full, projected, wide roots.

This bra has a stretchy band, which is soft and comfortable otherwise. The straps are wide and comfortable. The wires a good for close set breasts. The wires are wide. This bra is a top contender for me, though I think I'll try it in a 32H. The only thing that concerns me is there there is a solid inch of wire channel that is empty. I worry that this will lead to the wire poking through quickly.

I was worried this wouldn't work for me since it's unlined, but it fits well and is so incredibly comfortable I forget I'm wearing it. Gore tacks and doesn't poke, underarms are just right (though I get a teeny bit of side spillage from my larger breast, though not enough to say this doesn't fit imo), and band stays in place. These straps are the most reliable I've ever worn I think - straps usually slide right off my shoulders and these haven't once. As an added bonus, this bra looks like it belongs to the queen of the forest fairies, which is a look I can certainly get behind.

the cups in this bra run entirely too small and its very uncomfortable to put on..... i hated banging the underwire on my face and it scraping my body as it went over my head. instant return.

My first freya bra that i got in my ABTF calculator size. I really wanted it to fit but it didn't. the band was perfect, the gore lays flat. There was some major gapping on the top of the bra though. the cups aren't that big i think its just the style. anyway i ended up returning it

This bra is so sexy. When I first put it on it seemed a good enough fit. Wasn’t perfect but felt I was able to over look the minor misfit because of how gorgeous this is. It’s so soft and stretchy. Gives my breast a rounded and lifted look that I don’t get with other lace bras because of my soft tissue. So I kept it and now that I’ve worn it a few times I am realizing how bad this is for me. The gore digs into my sternum because my chest slightly pokes out. (pigeon chest) there’s wrinkles at the top of the inner cup because the cups are a bit too loose for me but it isn’t visible with clothes on. Plus it looks so sexy. So I’m making it work.

It's too bad this frame doesn't come in larger bands than 38s. This colorway is so insanely cute. I love this color. The frame doesn't support the amount of projection I have, it just shoves my tissue back and creates a fold of tissue on the outside near the tail of spence region. The wires are too tall and wide, as well. Bummer. For a band that's too small for me, it was surprisingly comfortable. That comfort probably wouldn't have lasted long, but still. I was impressed to be as comfortable as I was.

I really do love this bra, enough that I kept it despite the fit issues. It's the most supportive bra I own, plus it's just fun and pretty and makes me feel fun and pretty! That being said, I'm always having to pull the lace down when I'm sitting as it keeps riding up.
The band feels on the tight side to me despite the fact that I can fit two fingers under the band, but my measurements now are slightly different from my measurements at the time I bought it. My measurements now indicate a 32 band. I tend to find those feel too loose, though. Personally, ... I would probably still err on the side of the 30 band for this one given it will only get looser, but that one would really depend on your personal preferences, I think.
I really like the broader straps, both aesthetically as well as in terms of comfort, and I like where they sit on my shoulders. I have broad shoulders, but I have all kinds of posture issues, so they're very rounded and stuff is always slipping off them. Not so with this bra!
Because the longline lace bit goes all the way around and can't be unhooked along with the bra strap, getting the bra on and off is a deeply unsexy process, but the lace has held up through it so far, which speaks to the general quality of the bra, in my mind.
Overall, I find it a really comfortable bra even with the fit issues. It's my favourite bra and the only reason I don't wear it as much is because most days I find I prefer to have some padding.

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.

Band feels good. Wire surrounds tissue without being too long/wide. Slight wrinkling/gaping at the top near apex on my smaller side, but that's to be expected. Gore fits fine. I really like the style of the actual bra. I like the two different styles of lace and how it has more of a bralette look.
Overall, it's basically a perfect fit, I just don't like how it makes my boobs look, particularly from the side. This is the first high apex bra I've tried, so maybe other ones will give me more of a rounded shape. I'm considering keeping it though, because it's sooo comfortable and the second bra (maybe the first!) I've found that fits.

This bra is *very* shallow and meant to give lift. It only gave me the most awkward quadding I've ever experienced in a bra that's a DD. I'm not sure any size would fit me, this is absolutely the wrong cut on me.

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.

This is a balcony bra with one vertical and one horizontal seam. It's unlined with a trim alone the cup's edge. The shape is natural. The straps adjust long enough for my tall, low set frame, but are fully adjustable if you need them short. Three sets of hooks (x2). Band is fairly firm. Same material as front of bra extends all the way around to clasps. It fits me perfectly, but after owning it for about 6 months....I have never once worn it.

Actually got this for my daughter as this is a cup size larger than I usually wear in freya unlined bras but it was small on her so I gave it a try. It fit ok but the Gore is a bit wide and sat on tissue and it was slightly too shallow causing a bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups. Even though I loved the look of this bra I didn't get I for myself because of the thin strap on top of the cups (these always cut into my soft tissue. When I saw that strap was adjustable I literally freaked out I ... was so happy 😂. The adjustable strap made it so I could adjust it so it didn't cut into my breast! But alas twas not the bra for me. I also felt like from my angle looking down the bra made my breast look a bit torpedo like but it looked fine in the mirror from other angles so idk. It does seem like this bra runs about a cup smaller than other freyas I have tried.

I’ve looked at this bra for a year, but since it has so few measurements, I never pulled the trigger. Well, someone has to be first!
This bra is nice. Cute, comfortable, good projection. I wish the wires were narrower, but they don’t hurt, they just don’t pull all of my tissue forward. I’m starting to give up on that dream. Straps are reasonably narrow set - no digging into my TOS, though, again would be great for my shape if they were further in. Band runs true to size.
I’ll keep it!

First off, I don't like Freya, Panache, Curvy Kate, or any other of those brands. Their bras are really scratchy, stiff, and uncomfortable.
Honestly, I've seen quite a few of your fitting help picture. Every single side picture you are popping out of the top of your bra. Are you sure your in your right size? To me it looks like all these bras are too small in cup for you. Or are you just full on top? I would suggest trying abrathatfits calculator, see if you get a different size there then here.
