Another winner from Freya's longlines!

Breast type: shallow, 2/5 shape, conical, wide set (2-3 finger gap between boobs).

I adore this bra. It's comfortable, cute, and the first time I put it on I had to double check I wasn't wearing a push-up! Definitely has a lot of nice, natural uplift, and looks great under tshirts.

The band is actually less stretchy than you'd expect from Freya. It still has a bit of give, but as I'm still getting used to proper fitting bands I prefer it. Fits more like a true 28 than other Decos.

There's no poking, and the moulding provides a lovely rounded shape. The gore tacks and is comfortable. The bra is a more closed off at the top, and that helped reduced the usually major gaping I have with my smaller, right breast. It's still there, but manageable. If you have gaping issues with other Freyas, this may work for you.

I actually think this bra fits me pretty well, except for a couple of issues. It's started to dig into my right side, which is the side of my smaller boob. On the right as well, it gaps a bit at the top. I might be able to size down a cup. Or maybe go up a band. I have an extender in and I'm hoping that it will eventually stretch a bit.

The bra is so cute design-wise, and makes my conical, somewhat shallow breasts look incredibly rounded and nice. I had no issues with the band riding up either. It is quite a bit stretchier than expected, as is common with Freya bands, but not by much.

Definitely need to adjust the straps, both because 1. they're longer than normal and 2. the bra has a tendency to slide down. I didn't adjust the first time I wore it since I thought everything looked fine and would stay in place - mistake! It was my first time with a "real", properly fitting bra, thus my naiveté.

Because of that, bra ... shifted through the day and the underwire ended up sitting nearly a finger's width below my direct underbust. Consequently, the gore ended up digging into my sternum rather painfully - I kept tugging it away from my body on and off just to give my chest a break from the pain. Once the straps were tightened (I placed the bra exactly where it needed to be, underwire wise, had my SO hook it in, and *then* tightened straps as needed), everything stayed perfectly in place through the day. Beware, the underwires still do dig into to your sternum - just not as uncomfortably.

The wires also are quite wide, they extend past where my breast tissue starts under my arm. However, there's been no problems with them poking into me and thus I'm not bothered by it. The straps are wider-set as well.

Apart from the issues with the center underwire, the rest of the bra is very comfortable and a good fit. There's very slight gaping on my right, smaller breast, but it's negligible. Design is adorable, and the shape the Patsy Longline gives me is amazing. I'm so happy with it, and it's my first bra that fits!

I bought this in 30FF and altered the band down to 28, as well as adding boning to the sides as it kept riding up.

The cups are tall, and too shallow in the bottom for me, I get orange in a glass effects. The band kept flipping up, hence adding the boning to the sides as well. But this is a good bra, the pattern is gorgeous, and the thick fully adjustable straps are very comfortable.

I love the look of my cleavage in this bra. It's surprisingly supportive without the wires. The band is also snugger than the Freya Deco Honey (1254) and probably the Freya Deco (4234) so it is spot on for me. However, this sort of disappoints as the seams in the band dig in and chafe after a few hours, and the whole point of not having wires in my bra is for added comfort, and this doesn't deliver. In fact, the Deco Honey is way more comfortable. It's not really a bra I would spend long hours in.

First 28E bra. More comfortable that I expected this to be considering I was wearing 30Ds and 32Cs prior to this.

Another winner from Freya! Longline bras aren't easy to put on but once you get the hang of it, I think they're fabulous. This gives me a beautiful "front and center" uplift and everything fits where it should fit.

This bra is the same cut as my Halle, but the correct size and a pretty pink retro floral pattern. When I try to line my nipples up with the seams, the cup apex is a little too east - west for me. Now that I've gotten around to buying nipple covers, and don't try to line things up anymore, the fit is fine.

My favorite thing about this bra is its pattern and color. It is super adorable. the longline is very comfortable. After a while the band started to stretch so I am considering getting another one but with a 28 band.

Fit: A true to size 30G Freya, I love this bra. It's soft and fits my body perfectly.

Appearance: I dislike the see-through mesh material, and the ruffles on the top of the cup. I'll wear this bra at home primarily. I like the black and red combination, and the jewel detail on the gore.

This bra is what I would consider to be a "perfect fit" for size 30G. I am truly impressed with Freya's sizing standards, and rely on the brand heavily because of it.

I love the fit of this bra. The material is very soft and comfortable. I don't particularly care for the see-through mesh material, though.

This is a comfortable, every-day bra. Although it is lacy, the texture is not necessarily visible under a normal thickness shirt.

On the fit, I did select underwire length Is too short on the side, boobs escape near my armpits. This seems to be a trend with all the Freyas I own, which is a shame because Freya otherwise fits me the best! I do wish it had better side support though.

The Freya Carys longline has a looser band than I was expecting, so I would need to size down to a 28 band for the best fit for me. It is extremely comfortable and provides a lovely curve to my breasts, but unfortunately, I think the cups are a bit too wide on the side for my breasts. Not sure if I need to size down in cup or if the wires are just too wide. This, combined with the strap placement on the cup, makes it so that there is a vertical wrinkle on the cup from the strap to the wire and the outer section of the cup lays flat against my rib cage.
It's a beautiful bra but this does not work for me.

This bra is really comfortable! I initially had problems with the top of the cup wrinkling, but after a small alteration (tucking in the fabric between the lace and the main part of the cup), it fits well. The band feels like a normal 28 and doesn't seem to be too stretchy.

I got too much orange in a glass to be able to keep this, unfortunately, and the straps are too wide set for me.

The band on this bra is HUGE, I altered mine down and it's still a big 30.

Apart from that, it has wide wires, true to size cups, wide set straps. The longline doesn't have any boning and doesn't provide much extra support.

Liked this bra a lot but the cups are a little too tall for me.

Definitely runs a bit large. I've got sort of average projection for my size range and once the straps were adjusted short enough the gapping problem was eliminated. Looks really nice under shirts, but the line at the edge might be kind of be obvious under lighter ones. The fabric is a bit "slippery" and the materials on the straps seem like they might fray easily. The band is indeed quite stretchy and not very firm at all. At least for my boobs it does do a good job of being "cleavage-tastic", so that's nice.

Very cute bra. I got it in a swap pretty much just to assess my fit in the Freya padded half cups and longlines (I have tried only 30E before at Nordstrom, and they were far too large). Since this is too small, I can say with confidence that I am a 28E/30DD in the Freya padded half cups and longlines. It's a shame this bra doesn't fit me, but at least now I know!

About the bra: VERY COMFY. The padding is perfect -- exactly the level I want. The seams just barely show through t-shirts. Even though the cups measure as being too far apart for me, ... it ends up not really being much of a problem. I am thinking I could just quickly fix that in my own size if the need arises. The band is stretchy, but Freya is famous for that. Again, quick fix, not worried. The one complaint I have about the bra is that the mesh overlay seems larger than the cup itself, so it kind of wrinkles and folds over on itself... right where my nipples are. So from my POV, things look pointy, but from the side and stuff, they look pretty much okay. Nothing a cami/tight knit couldn't fix, at least.
