When I first received this bra in the mail, it was to try out a G cup from my previous FF cups. As a result, the cups were immediately too small, as o ready need a GG. The band was also quite large. I measure 29 inches around my rib cage and this 30 band was much too loose on the tightest hook. I altered the band, taking it about 3 inches in, and though this made the band nice and snug, it made the already to small cops comical.
Despite this, this bra gives the best combo of cleavage and support and I always wear it when I want to show the girls off.
Bra is very cute, a lovely lavender with black lace. Unfortunately the cups are a bit too small on this 30FF, but I think one cup size bigger would be a nice fit. The cups are lightly lined, but I kind of doubt that the lining is thick enough to stop show through.
Band fits well and firmly on loosest hook, and the underwires are not uncomfortable. Center gore doesn't quite touch my sternum, but I think this is because the cups are too small. Straps are set too wide for me (which is not uncommon) but a strap accessory in back fixes this.
This bra will be returned due to the cups being too small, however I have already ordered a 30G to try... I think it will be a much better fit.
I previously had this bra in a 28G and it lasted ages, I loved it. The 28GG is a tad tight in the band, but I have put on a fair amount of weight, and I'm in the process of losing it, as the pounds shift it's starting to feel better.
The jolie is a great day to day bra, slight plunge but still a good overall shape, nice and lifted plus the purple is pretty.
So close... the band is a tad bit loose and the cups are also a tiny bit loose (but I pop out of a 32F). It's a lovely bra... but it flattens me a bit, which I didn't notice with the other sizes I tried.
I can't fill the bottom... even the 32E (which is way, way too small in the cup) has space in the bottom. Why? I can wear cookies with it, which helps fill the gap a bit, but it's an odd phenomenon.

I've been after this style for some time now. I had ordered it from HerRoom in a 30E but it cut in just a little bit. I exchanged for the F and the fit is a lot better. The smaller size really smooshed me down. This does not have as rounded of a look as the other Half-Cup styles, it's a little more pointy, but not nearly as bad as the unlined lace bras. The fit on this is pretty much similar ...to the Half-Cups Patsy and Daphne.
Pros: Longline, more hooks offering better support around the back. Lightly lined (not truely padded), so it's modest a bit. Vertical seams for more supportive cups.
Somewhat Cons: Not as rounded of a profile as I'd prefer, but it's not terrible. Seams and lace detail are will show through shirts but it's very subtle. The band is too big for me, it wrinkles up in the front just underneath the cups, I will be taking it in. But on someone with a larger frame this would fit great. Read more 86 more words
Very sexy and flattering style on. The cup is soft and very uplifting. The cup is quite low cut and feels similar to a half cup bra and less like a balcony.
But loose for a 30 band. Band shifts around a bit with movement wear on me. If youre in between sizes go down a band size.
Huge band, I measure between a 30 and 32 band but on this I'd need to size down to a 28 as it's bigger than some of my 32s! It's being returned which is sad as it's a pretty bra
Band a bit tight but I'll wear with an extender and see if it stretches out to fit properly. I think I'd prefer a double layer in the lace, too much nipple on show
For some reason, I've found that a 34 band in this bra needs fastening on the tightest hook pretty fast, but this bra is still way too tight in the band for me after six or seven wears. The cups still lift up and out and give a lovely shape, but the marks left by the wires on my ribcage after I take this off after several hours are pretty intimidating.
Additionally, perhaps this color (Pistachio) runs a little smaller- I do get quadra-breast in it but not a 34F in nude/black/pomegranate. Alternatively, converting could have just changed how it was cut enough to matter. Perhaps I will try the 32G next, if this band does stretch enough over time.
Edit: The 32G in black is much roomier, and the band is a darn sight looser. I'll chalk it up to the Pistachio color (and perhaps other fashion colors?) running small.
It all feels like it's the right size but the gore does not lie flat even although it easily does when I push it in. I have very close set boobs is this the problem? I feel like a bigger cup size would swamp me, I have a similar but less extreme issue with a Freya Jolie in the same size
This is a very pretty basic white bra. Double lined fabric, no padding. I wish the center front was lower and the cups were less full coverage. I'm not sure why they can make a balcony bra in a 28H but not the other Lauren style. The band is a little looser than what I'd like. It fits nicely on the middle set of hooks. There is a pretty bow in the center of the gore, it may have to come off so I can wear this under T-shirts. We'll see how it wears.
The fit is very similar to the Loretta, however, the lace is much softer, stretchier and less see-through than what is on the Loretta. However, the inside top (looks like a soft sort of twill tape) is much tighter than the lace so if you are full on top it may create a slight quadraboob.The profile is fairly pointy in comparison to say a molded bra so you would need to keep that in mind if that would bother you. The cups are nice and close together but you wouldn't get a lot of cleavage since the sides only keep the tissue contained, not pushed to the center like the Deco. There is a slight bubble at the apex of the bra which I think has more to do with the construction of the bra than my tissue.
What I like best about this bra is definitely the shape it gives. The ooomph is almost magical. It's also very comfortable to wear and it comes in a variety of nice colours. A very good plunge, all in all. The conns are that I've found the band to be stretchy (I own 3 Decos in different colours, all 32G). Also, I use these as special occasion bras as I feel that my boobs might burst out of the cups in the middle, although the cupsize is right for me. So I'd say the major minus with this bra is support. On a scale 4-10 I'd gove it an 8.
I was unsure about this bra, because I thought I was about a 32F and this is a 30GG, but I took a chance on it and got it through bratabase. Much to my delight, it fits pretty well. There is a little emptiness at the top of the cup of my smaller boob, but not so much that it's noticeable through clothing.
The fabric is very silky and has a retro look to me, and the lace trim doesn't show through my tshirt.. It's comfortable, all the wires lay where they're supposed to with no poking, and the band fits snugly without being too tight. The girls are separated and lifted without being too in-your-face, so I think this will be my new everyday bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I love the look of this bra but the band runs very large and the cups just aren't quite right for me. It's fine when I put it on the smallest hook and adjust myself into the cup but after I wear it for a while the strap rides up and the top of the cup gaps. I really wish this fit right as it gives a very nice shape and the quality of the materials are super.
It is a very comfortable bra and a good all-rounder. It fits the shape of my breasts well which are quite close together, but the plunge shape of this bra makes it very comfy and supportive. I bought the nude colour for practicality but it's not that pretty in the flesh. There are other much prettier colours in this range.
Edit: Since I first bought this bra I have grown a cup-size and it is now too small. It creates amazing cleavage because of this, but after a few hours I start to get double-boobage, and my nipples are only 1cm away from the edge of the cup - ...any more growth and I will definitely not be able to wear it. I feel as if my breasts are trying to burst out of the fabric. However, there is no more gaping. Another issue is the backsize, which was great at first but after a few wears I have to do it up on the tightest hook, and it still doesn't feel quite right. I still wear it as it is very comfortable, but it is not as good a fit as when I first bought it. I'm ordering a new one in a 28G to see if that is better. Read more 103 more words
looks great under clothes, love the shape. Gaps a little bit at the cup edge, but I think that is because of the material and not the cup size. very supportive. the band is very elastic, but this bra does NOT come in a 30H, GG is the largest cup size that is offered which is a shame because I love this bra.
Recently discovered that 30" band size existed. I thought 32" was the smallest band size made. I now find I am a 30H, 30HH sometimes a 30I/J (depending on the brand & style). I own mostly 32s.
The band is a little too large for me. The 30" band gives me much better support.
The cup seems to run bigger than some of the other Freya bras.
It is pretty comfortable. It stretched out in 2 months worn 2x a week - but my boobs are stretch everything out. I usally get 3 months with this kind of wear.
Did the bra fit your bigger boob? you should report how the bra fits for the boob you measured :).
This way the site knows whether or not it fits someone with boobs like the one you measured. I recommend always to go by the larger one ;)
