It's too small in the cup and too large in the band.

This seemed to fit at first, but after a few tries it was clear that it was too small. The not being able to breath might have been a clue.

Pointy, pointy, pointy. This is my only 28 band Freya, and I was very surprised at how tightly it fit; I'm currently wearing a 30FF Freya on the tightest hook and it's still riding up. With the Lacey, I get some east-west action happening as well as quadboob. The upper section feels very tight as well, which surprised me as I've been operating under the assumption that I'm full on the bottom rather than top. I'm waiting for a bra extender to arrive, and hopefully that might make it at least wearable. I really want it to be as I ordered the brief (prematurely, obviously!) and I love the silky fabric and the bra's look.

This bra feels pretty great, but too big. I can kind of fill it, but I still have armpit fat, and as the day goes on the cups gets emptier and emptier, I think because the wires are not high enough. The shape of it feels really comfortable, it seems a lot closer to what I need.

I found this too tight around my ribs. My ribs stick out under my breasts, so it's more about my body than the bra. Maybe a 36 would've fit better. It made my tummy fat roll up more, though, which is what I was trying to avoid.

I am crazy about this bra, BUT beware that this band does NOT forgive, so if you use under bust measurement as your band size, get a slightly larger cup than is normally indicated. My measurements indicate a 30G, and a Freya Deco in the same size fits me anywhere from just right to bordering on too large (yes, all same model and same size, different colors though). This great bra fits great band wise on the loosest hooks, BUT, the cup cuts me off. I would have to be constantly fighting or stretching this thing out like nobody's business to get this thing not to quad boob ... me in some form.

I do own a Freya Ivy long line (quite similar in cut I think to the Piper) in 32FF, and that fits fine. I would like a firmer band, but that cup, though roughly the same size as the 30G Piper fits spectacular. My boobs have no restriction, they don't fall out, there is minimal gaping when I throw my shoulders forward, and they basically look suspended at a flattering height.

This bra is cut like the 28E - Freya » Just Flew In Padded Longline Bra (1393), which I absolutely love. It gives me a great, rounded shape, and holds my breasts up and together so my shallow, flat looking boobs look like normal breasts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> (if such a thing actually existed.)

I do like how they used fabric straps instead of the industrial looking elastic they have on the JFI. It is more delicate and feminine looking. However, I haven't worn the bra long enough to be able to tell you if this change affections fit yet.

Received this bra from TallSkinnyCurvy, and it's beautiful! It was altered to a 28 band, which fits me nicely. There's some slight wrinkling at the top lace, but it's otherwise an exceptionally well-fitting, beautiful, comfortable bra.

Found this at Nordstrom Rack for a crazy price, would've never thought to try a 32, but I grabbed it because I was trying to narrow down my Freya sizing to order a swimsuit online and they didn't have any 34H/HH's on the shelf. This fits very close! Because of the stretchy band, a 32 is my perfect band size in this bra. I'm full on top and there is no issues with spillage. The only issues I'm noticing is it is not as stiff as everything else I own and the top of the gore sits about a pinkie's distance from my sternum. Because of the lack of stiffness it feels crazy comfortable though; just doesn't give quite the support of my Andorra.

Overall appearance (Crème Caramel): it's a plane-Jane bra dressed up for the dance. Cute detailing, smooth mesh-y lace tops, printed lower cups make it a pretty basic but nothing that will "wow" you. Other than the single seam, it is smooth under a polyester running top, no signs of the lace poke through.

I fell in love with the look of this bra, unfortunately when it came it didn't fit me as well as I wanted.

The quality is nice and I love the feel of the molded cups.

I find the band a bit loose for me and I can fit more than my whole hand in the back.

It fits ok if I really push my shoulders back but if I don't it gaps at the top. I also don't get even close to the great cleavage a lot of ladies are getting with the deco bras.

If they had a 28F Avaliable I would have exchanged it because it is a wonderful bra. Alas, I can only return it.

Straps were a tad wide on me, but it doesn't dig into my armpits at all, so it's workable. Seems like the wires are a bit too wide though; possibly by around a half inch or so from my breast root when I put it on. The lining on the cups of the bra I have seems to have slightly more fabric than the outside cups, so it wrinkles, mostly in the bottom of the cup. I don't really have a solution for it, but it's workable. I can get the gore pretty close to my sternum on the tightest hook, but looks like I'll need at least a 28FF if I decide to get another Freya padded half cup. Otherwise, I really do like this bra. It's pretty and comfortable and gives me a shape that I like.

I just bought it, but it's great and fits well. I have a problem with straps sliding off so we'll see if it happens with this one.

Update: the straps do not slide off (woohoo!) but the cup appears to be a *little* too narrow. you can tell by the marks that it cuts into the breast tissue a little bit.

This isn't a great fit on my shallow boobs (the bras that fit me best, Masquerade Alice and Betsey Johnson Eyelet Lace demi, fit in 30DD on the middle hooks), but it's worlds better that my ancient Zara 32B strapless.

The cups are too big for me, but the moulded cups are firm and hold their shape so I don't mind too much. I worry if I sized down to 28E, the cups would be too closed on top and create more quadboob. The band is so firm there is no way it will slip down - for now, I'm using an extender, actually, so the top rim won't cut an as much on my pecs.

My husband thought this is a nice looking bra. It's the first I've had in a long time that seems to fit pretty well. I have a small wrinkle on the top of my smaller breast, but the bra fits great everywhere else. I wish it were prettier, but function is important as I restock my bras. Lost 30 lbs in the last year, so my size is considerably different.

No more wrinkle in the cup, but now I the diagonal seam across the cup gives a slight quad boob effect. However, this is still a really comfortable non-padded bra.

I really wanted this bra to work for me, as it looks so good on people it fits. However, I've tried this in in a variety of sizes now and haven't found my match. The stiff cups sit away from my breasts, which looks a bit weird, especially under clothes. I think I might need a 28D to make this style work, if its worth it. The straps are scratchy too.

Okay, at this weight, it almost fits. Think a 28DD would do it, should I be inclined to try this style again. I think I've tried this on in at least 6 sizes, and was told at Nordstroms that it didn't come below a 30E. At the time, the 30E was too big with the cups sitting a bit away from my body. What she meant was, they didn't carry anything smaller. Still too big, but I'm holding on to this in case I gain a few more pounds.

Since it's wireless, the gore won't lay flat, but it is a very comfortable and supportive bra. I know some wireless bras are constructed in a manner that lets the gore lay flat, but if you look at this one it really isn't possible. Had to say "yes, it lays flat" in my review, otherwise it was marked as not fitting.

Not as pretty as I'd like, but it does give nice lift and a pleasant round shape.

I tried a 30D in this first, and didn't get a good fit. This is a lot closer, and my larger breast seems to fill the cup pretty nicely. It just doesn't have that all around fit I'd like to see. The wing is a little scratchy on my occasional eczema, which I don't notice until I take the bra off. It is pretty supportive, and I still wear it on days to feel extra pretty. However, it doesn't make me feel good enough to be a go to bra more often. It does give nice lift. The profile is pointy compared to my other bras, but not in an torpedo way. It looks great under sweaters and thicker shirts, and it brings everything around front like it should.

Fits better a few pounds heaver now, but my smaller breast still leaves a few wrinkles in the cup. If I tuck a thin pad in, it looks great.

Love the shape of this, but might need to go up to a 28E. This is the shape I've been looking for in other bras. Nice cleavage with round shape. Great for my fuller on the bottom breasts. Wish it came in more colors and a prettier fabric. Had such hit and miss with trying the plunge deco style, I was really hesitant to try this one. However, I'm glad I did. I'll need to decide if I keep it or send it back.

Okay, after trying it on and not rushing, letting the straps out a bit more did the trick. This is it! Finally a bra that really seems to fit and make me look like I'd like to look.

This is not the tshirt bra for you!. It gives nice cleavage, but the edge of the bra is visible under all shirts. The band stretches extremely quickly. The cups are shallow and wide. Due to the shallow shape of the cups, the underwire was pushed down my ribcage and cut in when I sat down (all while the back rode up). The straps fray quickly as well.

This bra is really pretty! Even though the bra runs big, the longline shape helps to prevent too much movement of the band. This is only a 'once in a while' bra for me because there isn't very much support provided by the band, cups, or straps as they are all very stretchy. The cups were a bit wide and shallow for me. I would prefer a narrower, deeper cup with straps set closer together.
