Love this bra! It is super comfortable

Updated on Jan 14, 2013 Flag this

Freya Pollyanna is a gorgeous bra! The lace and straps are perfect!
The band is firmer than most Freya 28 bands, but I have it on the smallest hook for my 24/25 inch ribcage.
What I don't like about this bra is how thin the fabric is in the cups. It's good if you don't want to add any size, but you are able to see nipples through it!
The underwires are much to narrow for me personally, and they are quite rigid. My boobs are escaping from them.. so I may not end up keeping this one after all https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I am also quadboobing a tiny bit on my larger side, while the smaller side has a bit of wrinkling...I think this size is a fair compromise for both breasts.

Overall, lovely bra! Best fitting bra made of just fabric cups I have tried yet! I definitely recommend it for people with narrow breasts.

I was able to put this bra right on the tightest hook as soon as I got it, and could still pull it away from my body a bit. As well, I think the wires are too wide on this for me - I need something with narrower wires and more projection. There was loose fabric on the sides of the cup under my armpit, and the center gore didn't sit flush against my chest. I noticed that the wires on this bra didn't seem very "sturdy" - they bent pretty easy when I did up the band, pulling back and "opening up" the curve they create.

Overall, the bra is pretty, and the fabric feels nice against the skin, but it doesn't work for my shape.

i finally understand all the fuss about the deco! went down a cup size and it's perfect!!! great uplift, cleavage, even pretty as a nude.

It works! The wires suffer a little from the triangular bra syndrome, making them not sit flat in the center front, while being tight on the side bottom edge. I will probably bend them at some point as in this post: http://brasihate.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-to-do-with-those-pesky-wide.html
I get a little spill in the top corner by my armpits if my posture isn't good, because the cup comes up high enough to be curving back inwards at that point.
But it's way better than my Panache 32G strapless in both shape and fit. I think this is probably the best fit I'll get in a strapless in terms of band size and overall shape. And it's firm enough to wear alone, so that's one wardrobe staple taken care of!

This bra looks like it fits well when i put it on and scoop my boobs into it. But after wearing it for 5 minutes, the cups start to gape a lot. They dont gape as much as in the 30f though. Also, even though the band is tight in a 28, it seems to ride up at the back after a while. When I take the bra off, the wires make marks wider than my boobs, so I guess the wires are too wide for me. Also the tops of the cups dig into my arms (not sure if I explained that) - I think the cups are just too wide for me. I guess this is not the right bra for me! But it looks good under clothing and gives me a great shape and I have not found anything better so I wear it a lot. Also, the band has stretched out a fair bit since I bought it.

I like the purple colour though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.

This bra fits true to size, although like all Freya bras the band is a little loose. It gives me a slightly pointy shape which doesn't bother me at all.

The good old Deco.....it's hard for me to find another bra that compares! Why is it I love the fit, shape of the Deco the most of all of the bras I own? I love the front, center, lifted and very round look I get with the Decos. On me they do stretch out and not fit as well after only one wearing. And I have had the fraying issue with one (that is listed and the wrong size for me) But overall very happy and wish the line went 1-2 sizes higher and offered more colors.

The only time I don't like to wear my Decos is under a high neck, fitted T-shirt. The line of the plunge looks really low and weird....still looking for the perfect high bra for under some T-shirts but I digress. The Deco is my go to bra everytime!

The band seems a tiny bit tight on the loosest hook, but I'm expecting it to stretch some. Plus, I'm not used to properly fitting bands. I've gone from a 38 to a 34. Cups fit great & totally hide my size discrepancy.

Update: Now that I'm more knowledgable about how a properly fitting bra should look, I feel this bra's cups are slightly too small. Lots of side boob escape.

Band fits well on 2nd hook. Not a new item, so band is stretched out - but perfect for me. Cups encase tissue okay, but wish band was wider as there is some boob escape under the arm. When I hold tissue in place, cups are filled perfectly. As is, there is some room at the top of cup, but it won't show under clothing. This is a better fit than the new 34 E I will be listing soon. This bra is comfortable as is and needed as my basic plunge bra until I find a better fit.

I generally like this bra. It is very comfortable. The wires are wide enough to encase my shallow breasts and the cups are not too deep. It looks ok under clothes, but I look a little flat from the side. I wish it did more for forward projection.

Woot. First bra that actually fits. Very comfortable. The cups are a sort of see-through mesh, which I like, but wouldn't be great if you're looking for more coverage, I suppose. I find the pattern on the cups a little odd, but not bad, and it has these cute little embroidered rosebuds on the tops of the cups. There's nothing lacy or ruffley that would show through tighter clothing, which is great!

I got this bra once I realized I definitely needed to downsize my band from the 36G's I was wearing, however, this one was still far too large (I immediately fastened the hook on the tightest hook, and could still pull it 4-5" away from my body). I found this band to be looser than some of my current 36G's.

The cups on this were not big enough for me - when I initially put the bra on (pre-scoop&swoop) the center gore was flat against my chest, however post S&S, I could place 2 fingers between the gore and my chest. I'm going to be trying a 32HH/J next...hopefully that will fit better!

Overall, the bra itself was quite nice -the fabric, was soft and silky and it was comfortable - no wires poking where they shouldn't!

the cups are too wide - something i didn't expect from freya - and the band isn't stretchy, contrary to popular legend, but my ribcage is 33 and I think 34 would have been too loose. the wires are low on me. I think the cup is too small but I'm not sure going up a cup size would help. I have armpit fat, however, so maybe a cup up would be helpful.

I'm going to send this one back for a 32FF.

Really cute bra. The band is okay on the middle and tightest hooks, but it's too loose on the first set of hooks. Overall, I think I'd be more comfortable with a 28 band.

Cups fit good, I get just a bit of overspill on my larger side, but not enough to worry about. I can't quite fill out the bottom of the cups, although it's better than I normally can do with seemed cup bras. (I generally prefer molded styles.)

The straps are somewhat stretchy, and while I do prefer non-stretch straps, these aren't so stretchy that it would be a deal breaker. I really feel like I get better support with molded cups, but for a seamed bra, it seems to have decent support... although if you have to run for any reason, things could get a little dicey.

I'm going to return this bra, as it's not really what I'm looking for right now. I would consider picking it up in a 28G in the future though.

It gives a decent shape, not extremely round like a molded cup, more of a natural rounded look, but it's not pointy at all. Silhouette from the front is good, not too wide.

The band is too large for me, even on the tightest hooks it is still too loose. The cups are close to the right size, I get just the smallest bit of quad of my larger side, not really even enough to notice under a shirt. I can't quite fill the bottom of the cups, I'm not sure if this is because the cups aren't deep enough, or if it's because the band is too loose ... and is therefore riding too low. I've tried pulling the cups up, but I can still get a finger in the space between the wire and the start of the bottom of the breast.

Seems like a comfortable bra. I'm not sure about the level of support, it may allow a bit more bounce than I like, however with the correct size band it may be a different story. I think my ideal size would be a 28G.

This bra will be returned, but in the future I may try a 28G, as I feel it's possible my slight issues with the fit could be fixed with a smaller band.
