This Bra fits ALMOST like a dream. I was told ahead of time that I should order this bra a size down from my normal F so I ordered it in an E which seems to fit perfectly. Normally I can fit in a 32 but this band I think would be much more comfortable for me in a 34. Over all the bra makes my boobs look awesome. There isn't any poking or anything and it gives good coverage. I'm hoping that it will stretch a little for more band room.

I love this print on this bra. It's beautiful pinks. The cups are just a smidge too big where I have wrinkling in the cups. I do wish it fit though!

I have a 32 inch ribcage and this 30 fit more closely than the 32 I tried on in the store. I did have to wear an extender with it, as it was about a half inch too small. For me, the cups were too tall on the sides, as I'm fairly short. And the plunge was just too deep for my shape - I fall out the center.

This bra just arrived in the mail. It's the first bra I've bought in my newly discovered UK size: 34G. I used the calculator at The Sophisticated Pair to get this measurement. Unfortunately, the cup feels waayyy big. When I first put it on, I looked down and the cups looked gigantic. Then I did the scoop n swoop, and to my surprise they filled the cup a little more; but not enough to close the almost 1 inch gap that was between the top of my boob and the top of the bra. Not to mention how high up the cup came! I've never had my boobs ... so covered by a bra before, and I did not like it. It makes me feel like an old lady, it also feels restrictive. The 34 inch band was tighter than I was used to, and created a definite fat bulge on my back. But i can see how after some use that would not be as big of a problem. Will update when I get this in the right size, I think I am going to go down one size in the cup and see how that goes. Other than the fit issues, this seems like a really great bra...I cant wait to get one that fits!

This bra alternately gapes, quad-boobs, and fits perfectly along the top. It also feels quite tight - not sure if the cup is too small or I should go up to a 30 band. I don't think the plunge style is really for my boobs.

This bra is absolutely amazing! It encases my breasts perfectly, I don't get the quad boob effect at all. The straps are comfortably wide enough that they don't dig in uncomfortably, and they're made of a good material. I just got it, so I'm still breaking it in. For me personally, my right rib, just where the underwire sits, it juts a bit oddly because of an old accident, so it can be a bit uncomfortable for now though it's curving to my body wonderfully, it'll be fine in a week or two. If you have a bony ribcage, I might recommend a band size up, which is why I mention my odd quirk. You can tighten the straps all the way, so if that's something you need, I'd go for it.

Holy moly. Well, this is my very first attempt at a correctly fitting bra. I measure 26-27 under and 34 1/2-35 bust (I fluctuate very quickly, I'm learning, so I go up and down inches and half inches quite regularly everywhere, which is a little annoying). I'm told this makes me a 28 E or F in UK sizes. Although the band fits nicely (could be slightly tighter, but much better than the 32s I'm used to!), the cups are HUMONGOUS on me. They're very long, so perhaps it has something to do with the shape of my breasts, but I'm pretty sure there's no way a 28E would fit me in this bra either, due to just how much my breasts were swimming in the cups of the 28F. It's a beautiful bra, and I'm sure it would look lovely on someone who could wear it!

I love this bra so, so much. Bought it in 3 colors! No poking, very comfortable, gives a beautiful round full shape and amazing support.

This bra is just amazing. I needed a strapless bra - I tried on a lot off bras, but this was the only one that fitted well enough. It gives a great shape and it holds everything in place, even after 6 hours wearing - but after the whole day wearing it gets a bit uncomfortable (as every strapless bra, because off the silicon stripes on the band). And my asymetry is not visible in this bra.
I recomend it to everyone who needs a perfect strapless bra.

This is a comfortable bra; it feels secure and the shape is nice so It's a really good choice for a nude coloured bra. It has a quality feel and from owning Deco's a few years ago (my favourite then) I know that they last quite a while with regular use too. I'm wondering if the cups are made of stiffer foam than previously or whether my old ones just softened up through washing/wearing. I'd say the newer stiffer style (if it is new!) is better anyway. I had tried this recently in a 30E (may have lost a bit of weight since then) ... but with that my boobs were forced to the central area between the padding almost squashed under the front gore! Then there was space in the top of the cups too; it clearly wasn't a good fit. So several months later I tried it - first in the 28F which was way too tight in the under band - and then in the 30DD. The DD is firm but not tight and somehow my boobs are lifted into the right position despite the cups being smaller. I think it may be to do with how much room there is in the lower section of the cup - forcing your boobs upwards and not towards the central gore without proper lift.

Love the look of this bra, but the band runs big. The 30D is too big in the band for me, though the cups fit perfectly. Also, there is no boning in the sides, which means the longline band is prone to rumplin/ wrinkling/ curling. In a 28 and with some boning I'd be buying this style in every print.

Gives a nice line. The band and straps are very comfortable and supportive. I don't quite fill out the top part of the bra as the day goes on (I 'settle').

I enjoy this bra. The one issue that I do have is that the band is more stretchy than I am accustom to. It hasn't given me any issues yet, just merely and observation. I love the cut & the color of this bra. I would defiantly give it a try!

I bought this bra online on a sale and I've been very pleased with this model.
The material is very nice and pretty, it gives good support and is comfortable, particularly if you don't have to sit during a long time. If you do, the longline tends to roll up and it can hurt the underchest.
The only problem is that 32DD isn't my ideal Freya bra size.
The band is not large, as I am between 32 and 34, but I can still breathe normally. ^^
32E would have been much better, as all of my boobs doesn't fit in the cups some days of the month.
I'm quite satisfied anyway and will be buying more Freya bras in the future (and in the right size !).

Nice back on this. It's a little bit more decorative. Only one hook though - not a problem for me, but I can see how someone with a bigger chest might not like it. The straps were a little resistant to being shortened, so they might be okay at staying the same length over time.
First time wearing this I thought I was wearing the wrong band size. It felt way too tight. Going by measurements, it's the tightest one I own. After wearing it a little bit it feels more comfortable, but it's still tight.
The cups have a sort of vertical wrinkle to them, from the strap ... attachment down to the nipple. Tightening the straps only made this wrinkle worse. Lengthening them made the cup start to gape away from my chest.
The shape is a little pointy for me. The straps also fit a little wide. I always feel like I'm pulling them up.
Overall I'd say it feels both too big and too small at the same time. I'm starting to spill over on my bigger side, but the cups gape open when I slouch over.
Also, despite the description, this is not a padded bra. There is absolutely nothing in there to pad it out. Feels like a soft cup to me.

This particular bra is the closest I've found to fitting me since I started measuring myself. Unfortunately, my actual breast size has grown sometime in the last couple of months, so the cup size on this bra is now too small. I have found no problems with the actual bra, though. It hasn't stretched out very much in the past year, so the band is still as tight as when I got it, but I haven't been wearing it that often, either. The straps stay where they are supposed to, and if I hadn't grown, this would still be the perfect bra.

I don't actually OWN this bra but I tried it on and man, did it fit well! It is the best fitting bra I've ever tried. And it gives good cleavage. The only problem is that my right boob is a little smaller and doesn't quite fill the cup, but my left boob fits it PERFECTLY and the band is a good size.
I need to order this bra!

Overall, the bra fits perfectly. Unfortunately, it's not quite my style. It gave me (what I felt were) overly pointy boobs, minimized them, and seem to pull them off to the side. That being said, it's a gorgeous looking bra, but my breast shape and the cup shape just didn't work to my liking. The band fits perfectly, even on the tightest hook; the cups are a perfect fit, and the straps aren't too tight. Like I said, the only flaw was the overall shape the bra gave to my breasts.
I'd like to explain my ratings. Quality is 'excellent' because the bra is well constructed and, even on the tightest hook, there is no sign of the hooks being pulled. I rated comfort 'good' because I was not comfortable with the shape, but the bra itself is actually really comfortable to wear. The appearance of the bra is rated 'good' because the bra is absolutely gorgeous, but it's the shape that isn't so hot.

This bra was one of the first I ever tried on in my true size/range two summers ago. The store was charging an arm and a leg for it (way overpriced) and I thought it was better to go with a basic color I thought I would 'get more wear' out of. The bra I purchased instead of this one was the Freya "Phoebe" (http://bra.pe/RGS/) which I realized after the purchase that it hurt and I'm glad to say it is now one of my friend's favorite ... bras because it fits her better than it did for me. Anyway, this bra is so fun and pretty comfy so far. It is a well made bra with quality materials, gorgeous bubbles design/embroidery and I am willing to look past the severe bullet-boob just to rock this beauty. I am searching for the right top to wear this with so I can proudly show off the bra!
There is a bit of wrinkling underneath the cup on the smaller side and I think it is because this shape isn't ideal for my shape. Comfort level is on par with my other Cleo soft cups. Works best with a non-fitted/clingy top to attempt hiding torpedo chest!
Measured immediately before wearing.
Purchased & Reviewed mid-July 2012.

I seriously wanted to love this bra (red & white polka dots! So cute!) but no. 2 hrs & I'm ready to rip it off. Somehow it manages to simultaneously be too short under the arms and so high as to poke my armpits. Even the straps irritate me. They stay put and the band offers enough support that they don't dig but they feel scratchy & pokey too. And while I don't always need the round, boobs on a platter look, I look like Madonna circa 1990 in this. Except the cones point south. The only redeeming factor is it seems well made.
