I love this bra. Have two. I've had the band altered. If this bra existed one size larger that would be divine. Band seems to run a full size large.

I also got this in 28FF for comparison. This one was a close fit, but just a bit of side squish, and a hint of quad boob, but not too bad. The 28G was a slightly better fit. A very pretty bra, which I ordered in Charcoal. I hope to get more soon https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I love this bra. It gives me the perfect "rounded" shape that you see in all the bra advertisements. I haven't had any problems with poking wires, or boob overflow. When I first bought it, it was comfortable for a couple hours, and then was a little tight; now that it has stretched out a little, it is perfect. Another thing I like is the molded cups, which helps with the fact that I am a little uneven. Instead of having a issue with the one side being wrinkled, I look great in the bra, even in a t-shirt, since the cup holds its own pretty well.
I totally recommend it to anyone with similar characteristics to me.

This bra is very cute, and I think I like Freya's satin fabric better than their mesh. I get a bit of wrinkling in the top of the cup on my smaller side, but otherwise the fit and shape are excellent. I also love the color combination. Definitely not a t-shirt bra for me, but very comfortable even for very long days.

This is among my favorite bras ever. I think I do well with Freya padded half cup styles? The vertical seams give great support and shape.

Extremely comfortable, right out of the box. Excellent support and cleavage, without making me feel like I'm in danger of falling out of the bra. The side wings are kind of tall, which makes it feel like it's riding up a little, but it actually anchors very well. I just have to remind myself that's the way it fits.
My only objection is that the straps are very wide. The bra looks great under clothes, but on its own the straps make it look frumpy. This isn't a problem limited to this bra, but an ongoing frustration. The straps are always significantly wider than the pictures on websites, and they're pretty industrial looking. I've never had strap discomfort with a bra that fits well, no matter how thick or thin the straps themselves are. These straps are very granny bra-ish. Why won't anyone make everyday full-busted bras with nice, thin, pretty straps?

This is a very pretty bra, with black and white polka dots and a sheer top part of the cup with light blue embroidered flowers. The first time I wore it was to work, so I knew it would not have to do much, but I was nervous about not having broken it in yet.
It's fairly comfortable. It's the only Freya bra I own, besides the Deco, so I don't have much to compare it to. It has pretty narrow cups, and as my boobs are rather wide, it's odd to see them so forward, but under the right top, I think it could like nice. It does give sort of a pointy-boob look, but that could also be because I am so used to Panache and their shapes.
Overall, not a bad bra. Cute enough and supportive.

I love this bra because I am a young person who wants to look perky.
However, I don't think the cups are the right fit for me as they gape at the top. I had originally worn the deco in 30FF, so when I went down to 28, perhaps I should have gone down a cup size too.
It lays flat against my sternum and doesn't poke. I find it a little uncomfortable under the underarms at times.
I have so far found it to hold its shape and not stretch out too quickly, despite daily wear.
I'm still looking for just the right size in this one, though.

I like this bra a lot, but unfortunately, the cups pucker on me and don't stay against my breasts.
I think it's worth a try a size down (28F) though.
No poking, no discomfort, a nice, snug band, but the cups really gape.

This bra is the only one I'm 100% satisfied with at the moment.
The band fits OK on the loosest hook, but it is very stretchy and I can fasten it on the tightest one, without being uncomfortable, so perhaps 30F would last me longer. Still, side panel is very supportive and the length of the underwire is just right, so I can wear this bra all day without any discomfort.
The shape it gives is slightly pointy though and I know most girls prefer rounder shapes, but I love it. Looks great under clothes, especially vintage-styled, even under stretch fabrics as long as they're thick enough to conceal the seams.
It is also very pretty, I love the print and bird detail between the cups. And the fact that I got it for half its original price just makes me love it even more https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

pretty comfortable but a little narrow under the arms. Doesn't contain all the excess flesh there.
Also as in both my Freya bras, the straps slip,

This bra has very high cups without much structure, so the top of the cup doesn't sit completely smooth. The cups are pretty narrow but deep, which kind of gives a torpedo effect. On the whole, the bra seems rough. The lace is very coarse, and the hardware on the straps is very heavy. The straps themselves are much thicker than I'd like. In real life it isn't as pretty as it looked in pictures.

Easily my favorite bra. I ordered it off of figleaves when it was on sale was disappointed when I went back to discover its no longer available. The pattern is more subdued, I think, than on the site as the yellow is rather pale so it does not come across as 60s/70s. The band is a little big for me but I do need to get 30s in the future, not 32, but I would say it would run true to size if not a wee bit snug. The cups are accurately sized and are not not stretchy in the paisley fabric, the lace is sightly stretchy until you get to seam binding on the edge where it is a fixed length. It does hold the tissue forward but not squished. It is incredibly comfortable. The embroidery does show through a bit on knit tops and some draping silk tops, unforgettably but the seaming does not.

A good everyday bra, gives good support and feels comfortable, the material is very soft. Stretches out a bit with wear and the band size a bit on the large side - take into consideration when buying one. The cup placing is also a bit wide, which may cause problems if you have narrow shoulders and boobs.

My normal band size is 32 - so be warned, the Edina has a really big band. The cups are normal for Freya and give a nice, rounded shape. The material is very comfortable in this model, almost like there was nothing on your skin. The bra feels sturdy, so once you find your size it's a very good bra. I kept this one although I would actually have needed a 28JJ, which they don't make. Well, it's just on the border of fits well and a bit too small in the cup, but I can live with it.

I purchased this bra on eBay as defective, possibly because of the rippling of the outer layer of fabric/mesh. Its obvious with clothing off (see photos) but doesn't show up once I have clothes on.
Freya bras always seem to tack in the center for me and this one is no different. Although this bra is defective the fit is still great and has that classic Freya 3-part cup shape. I also have this bra in beige.

This is such a pretty bra! I'm hoping to find a size that fits perfectly. This one is almost right. The 30H was a bit too big in the cup, and this one, I fear, may be a bit too small.
After wearing it around for 10 minutes, sitting, the quadriboob poof began over the top, and there was some irritation along the underwire on my rib, and also I found that the tops of the wires/edges of the cups seemed to irritate my underarm a bit.
I'll try again, to figure out if I'm being overly sensitive or if this truly doesn't fit.

I mail ordered a bunch of bras, looking for the right size. Clearly this didn't fit. It is a pretty bra. It has a deep plunge, which I don't especially like, though some might.
I think there is poor quality control on this particular bra. The 30FF in the same style had a looser band, and the 30HH in the same had a very much looser band. This does not seem like it is only 3 cup sizes smaller than the HH was.

I bought a range of bra sizes, and this one clearly does not fit. It is an attractive bra. It has a deep plunge (not my favorite style).
I think there is poor quality control with this bra. The 30G in the same style had a smaller band, and the 30H (though I did not measure this one) seemed to have a much looser band.

Although this bra is very pretty I don't find it comfortable at all. Some days it is ok, and other days I can't wait to take it off - my back gets quite sore and i am always adjusting it, pulling on the back, tightening and untightening the straps trying to get it to be more comfortable. The main problem is that the back is too big (i don't think this style is made in a 28 so i thought 30 would be ok but have decided I should really stick to the 28 backs). Even the cups are not quite right though, but I can't quite put my finger on why not. I often find freya bras don't fit me properly (although this may be that in Australia it is hard to find someone who stocks the 28s so i tend to try on the 30f).
