The band was way too big, so it felt insecure and the gore was a full inch away from my sternum. The cups fit poorly, with some quad-boob at the top, but extra fabric under the arm. After wearing for a few minutes my breast tissue shifted towards the center, under the gore. Despite looking somewhat more solid than the mesh of the Patsy, the fabric felt somewhat plasticy and less rich, though the fabric covering the wires and under the straps was comfortable.
Band fit comfortably, but center gore didn't quite sit against my sternum. This is probably due to the cups being too small, resulting in quad-boob and an overly pointy shape. The wires are lined in a soft material, and the mesh fabric seemed comfortable while I was trying it on. I also like the styling of the black material with tan polka dots and trim. The straps are extremely long, and I had to adjust them to the point where the slider sat on the top of my shoulder which could look weird under some tops and/or be uncomfortable while wearing a backpack.
Can't judge long-term comfort or durability, as I plan to return it.
Fits good, but it just doesn't give me the support that molded or foam cup bras do. (Which is probably why I tend to prefer molded/foam cups over unlined seamed cups.) For this reason I have decided to return the bra. If for some reason in the future I start wanting more seamed bras, this is probably one I'd consider.
I have tried 30FF and 30G in the past, but the 30F definitely offers the best fit.
I have to say, I think this design/fabric/pattern might be my favorite bra ever. Too bad it won't fit me.
This bra only goes up to a GG cup and I'm an H or HH. Freya bands tend to be loose on me so I size down, but that means there's no way I could fit into this cup. The 36 band is pretty snug on me, but I can fasten it. There is definite quad-boob along the top. Pretty much to be expected on a bra that is a few cup sizes too small.
The band seems fairly stretchy, such that it would get stretched out pretty easily. The fabric, although adorable, doesn't seem very sturdy. The center gore pretty much sits flat on my chest. This bra seems like a pretty average bra in most ways, so maybe if I ever get down to this size it would work!
The band is very tight and the cups are a bit small. The shape is amazing with a very strong pushup effect on me. Very supportive and awesome cleavage!
This bra was soo painful for me to even try on for 5 min since the underwires dug into my sternum really hard. Idk why this bra is so popular, it's not even that pretty for how uncomfortable it is and the design would show under clothes.
Because this style didn't work, according to bratabase these styles have the same cut as Arabella, so I won't even bother: Lyla, Eleanor, Eloise, Halle, Nina.
I first tried this bra in January 2012 and have been in love with it every since (even though the cups are too small, I own 3 different versions). Provides amazing cleavage and support. Freya stretchy.
I measured this bra today and it's been worn quite a few times about a year ago so it's probably stretched. I've lost about 35 pounds since I wore this bra so as of today with my current measurements it is definitely way too big. It used to fit ok (not great), is good quality and very comfy. A good everyday bra (when it fits)...
Clearly way too big. I got this bra about a year ago, before being fitted and some weight loss. It is very comfy though and good quality, but I'm definitely not wearing it again.
The band fits loose, have to use the second hooks. The cups fit decently, doesn't cut into my armpits or cause quad-boob effect. Overall not a bad fit, but definitely not perfect.
Pros- comfortable fits in the cups looks great doesn't poke
Cons- loose around band (have to use middle or tightest hooks)
Having lost some weight, this bra is now slightly too large in the band for me, however, it's so comfy and the cups fit me perfectly so it will probably be worn until it dies.
Pretty bra but the cups are set too close together for my boobs, also the bottom of the band does a weird roll on my underboob area, even though the sternum is sitting flat. The bra has good support and the straps are really comfortable. I wear this bra to work a lot as well, but I tend to stick a makeup triangle sponge in the center gore where it is too close together because if not, it will rub and leave a callus! The cup underwires are really close together and sometimes overlap if you bend a certain way..
Got this bra as a trade and I am glad it fits. It is comfortable and pretty. I can wear it to work and it doesn't hurt after a while. I think the bra is really pretty. I have a narrow frame so I always feel like the straps are too wide set. My larger leftie has some quad boob on it but the rightie fits fine in it.
Love this bra! Fits comfortably and offers great support. The cups are a bit too small for me... compresses and squooshes them into a slight quadriboob effect. Next time will try a 28GG!
Pros- great support, very comfortable
Cons- small cups, straps fit a bit too wide on my shoulders
The bra is gorgeous. The fit isn't perfect though... it's a bit too tight around the cups, and digs into my boobs at the top. I think a 28GG would be a better fit. All in all it is comfortable, gives great lift and support.
Pros- gorgeous, comfortable, great support/lift/cleavage
Cons- tight around the cups, quad-boob effect, gives a bit of a pointy cone shape.
