Great - comfortable, not very pretty though

Updated on May 25, 2011 Flag this

This is my second attempt at this bra (previously I tried the 28D). Please see my full review for this bra here: http://www.bratabase.com/browse/freya/lydia-4404/28D/

The cups still stick out at the top. I was hoping by getting the larger cup, the fabric would go out around the breast and then come back in at the top... No such luck. This bra is obviously for someone with a very round shape (think overfilled water balloons).

*** Update ***
I tried this bra on again today just to be sure. Interestingly, I found that when I put the straps waaaaaay out to the ends of my shoulders, the cups suddenly fit and didn't stick out. So perhaps this bra isn't so much for super round breasts as I thought (because mine aren't!). Could be that my shoulders are just a tad too narrow for this particular style. This would be such a cool bra if it fit properly!

This bra seemed to stretch out fast. Another issue I have is the shape, It doesn't seem quite suited for my shape, and I get some extra room right above the wires in the cup, very strange.

I just bought this bra after being re-fitted again. It fits me great and is really comfortable. It also gives my breasts a bit of a lift, which is always welcome

Nice fit, comes up somewhat high, almost like a full cup. Back could be a bit snugger but it lies flat and does not ride up

I like this bra. Although the band is quite long, it doesn't stretch much so it does stay put well. It comes up quite high on the chest and would not work with lower cut tops, at least on me.

Excellent plunge. Bra does not stretch much.

I love this bra so much, even though it's 4 years old and is a bit loose on the tightest hook. Everything else about it is lovely: the cups are a good balance between coverage and cleavage, it's supportive, comfortable, the straps mostly stay put. When it was new, the band was a little too tight and the wires pressed into my sternum, but that eased with time.

I love this bra! It is the first bra I've had that seems to really fit well. The construction is sturdy, the band is nice and firm, and it gives a nice shape under clothing. Plus it's super fun and flirty!

I wear this bra more than any of my others, because it is comfortable and doesn't peak out at the neckline like other high cut bras would. Plunge bras are the most comfortable for me because I am young and my tissue is still fairly perky at the top and full-cup bras always cut into it, even if they fit on the bottom portion of the cup. I should have ordered a band size smaller because it stretched out too soon, but I altered it at the back (simple with the design it has), and now it fits great. I've had it for about 2.5 years. It also gives a very natural-looking shape, instead of round boob armor like some molded cups I've tried.

I love the shape of this bra, but I find that the center gore (space between the cups) is too wide for me. This results in that part hurting as some of the weight of the breast is resting there all day. For shorter amounts of time its fine, but I can't wear it all day

The band is too big and the cups are too small. What's really strange is that the cups seem too big on the sides, yet I still get the quad-boob-effect on the top. Also, no matter what I do, the wire doesn't stay flat against my chest in the center.

This bra gives great shape, lift and support. It's comfortable to wear and the moulded cups don't 'squash' you down when you wear tops. Brilliant t-shirt bra.

This is my second Freya but my first fashion Freya! I've tried on a good many of their soft cups and although they are both supportive and fun they still give my teardrop boobs an AWFUL somewhat bullet-type SHAPE. This is definitely not a t-shirt acceptable bra for my breast shape but *maybe* under a loose fitting flowy top, I'll see about that in the future and update my review accordingly.

Beautiful lime and olive green with a white paisley & trippy flower print. Overall I'm pleased to add it to my bra drawer.

Bottom line: Comfortable and supportive = a good bra.

It is comfortable, besides the cup being too tight. I did however do that on purpose to create more of a boost (I would not recommend that to anyone else, fit is most important). The band fits snugly but not too tight. The material is soft and smooth and the bra is of a sturdy construction. I may consider buying it a cup size larger, to review that one and its fit seeing as this may not be helpful to people of a similar size.

This Bra fits me great. no odd boob shapes, give me plenty of cleavage, hides the headlights. and I LOVE this bra.

The pattern of the fabric makes this bra look kind of plain, despite the embroidery. Slightly large band, pointy boob effect, probably would look better on a woman who's full on bottom, etc. It fits much like the Freya Eleanor, though with a slightly wider cup. The difference is so small, though, that I never noticed it until I was measuring the two just now.

This bra gives amazing cleavage. Because of that, though, it can be a little difficult to tell if you're wearing the right size or if it's slightly too small. It doesn't do the four-boob effect so much as make you feel like your boobs are going to fall out. Also, the band is a bit large, but that's rather minor. I really like this bra overall

I have the one with the white mesh, and it's actually my boyfriend's favorite bra to see me wear because it's sheer. Unfortunately, the band is on the large side and it gives my boobs a pointy shape, which is not what the models showing off this bra look like. I also feel like the top inner section is sewn a bit flat, so this is probably a good bra for those who are full on bottom rather than on top. Very pretty, though.

I have worn this bra more than I probably should for it's life expectancy. I adore it. Very comfortable, great lift, and hasn't stretched out much even with how much I wear it (it's about a year old now). The straps slides to tend to slip and I find I have to tighten the straps each time I put it on. I do think I tend to wear a tighter band than some women.
