I measure between 32DD and 32E. The 32DD was too tight, the cups were more filled but breast tissue was spilling out the sides into my armpit. The 32E is too projected for me. I struggle to fill out the tops of most bras, and this was very empty in the stretch lace.
- the band runs very snug, I needed an entire non-stretch extender to fit this band. I measure 33/32/31.4 on my ribcage, so the wider end of the 32 spectrum, may be more true to size on someone with a snug 31”!
- cup width seemed off. There is a small amount of space between ...the wire on the outer cup, and because of the empty space, the side support isn’t effectively pushing the tissue out.
- wire height was low compared to others I’ve tried on, I didn’t necessarily find it comfortable. There was some pressure on the right side of the gore, which is my smaller breast.
-stretch lace is empty up top, I also notice that there is emptiness at the apex of the bra, causing wrinkling up to where the strap meets the cup.
After this, I tried 34D. The 34 band was much more aligned with my measurements. The offbeat is such a cute bra that I really really wanted to make work, but unfortunately have concluded it is not the bra for me :[

I measure between 32DD and 32E, however the offbeat band runs extremely snug. I found the 34D to fit much better, but it appears to be a shape mismatch.
The fit was very similar to the 32DD in every other aspect besides the band being more accurate to my measurements in 34! See my review of the 32DD & 32E for more details if you’re between these sizes :]
The band on the offbeat runs extremely snug! I pretty much had to use an entire non-stretchy extender for the cups to not warp.
I have average projection at the root, I felt like the bottom of this cup was filled out well. The wires seem short on the outer cup, I had breast tissue spilling out into my underarms. The cups seem to be a little narrow for me as well.
The gore felt fine, it tacked and there was no digging and the height was good for my inner fullness.
I have even fullness/lean full on bottom due to soft tissue (effectively full on bottom) and the top ...of the cup was emptier, which caused the stretch lace to curve along the top in an unflattering way that showed through under clothes.
The offbeat gave me a pointy shape, which I don’t prefer, and the way the stretch lace laid on my smaller breast was unflattering to me.
After this, I tried 32E and then 34D. The 34 band was much more aligned with my measurements. The offbeat is such a cute bra that I really really wanted to make work, but unfortunately have concluded it is not the bra for me :[

this bra is pretty cute. i bought it as a diagnostic bra for my new calculated size of 32GG! while the bra is cute and mostly comfortable, the cup is a bit too wide for me. i usually need average to narrow wires, and these stretch past my breast tissue onto my sides. i think this size works well for me, but i would need to purchase one with narrower wires. overall, the quality is good, and the comfort is okay, and the appearance of the bra is great, i like the pattern/design!
I have very short, average width roots; even vertical fullness; and am very projected. This bra is too tall for my short roots ― the tallness makes it run big, so this might fit better in a 28FF. It has slightly more projection than average, though not enough immediate projection for me, making it wrinkle at the wire. The wires are average width and fit me fine. The gore digs in somewhat and due to the high gore and construction of the cups I wouldn’t recommend this to someone with a lot of center fullness (I am only slightly center full when supported). It’s not very pretty but would probably be more so in a different color and if it fit me better. All in all, I’ll probably get rid of this if the cup fit doesn’t improve during a different time of the month when I’m fuller, but for $18 (thanks to Breakout Bras’ sale section) it was totally worth it!
I tried 35 bras before this model and this is the only one that feels like I’m not wearing a boob cage. To be fair, most were panache which have a very firm wire and band, and most were the wrong size because I was narrowing it down. But this one I can barely feel while it’s on. My next best was the panache envy, but I was between sides and it rubbed in the armpit.
I’m very full on bottom and even then, the top edge cuts in a tiny bit on my larger side, but it’s not uncomfortable, noticeable under shirts, or enough to create a mark. ...There is tons of immediate projection and no pointy look. The seams are smooth under shirts, and no lace to create texture. The band is pretty stretchy but still supportive. And I like the sheer look- it’s different! The support is really good. The best I’ve tried so far.
For Freya context, I tried the side support offbeat (very uncomfortable wire but a fit that looked good), viva (ran a cup big and the elastic tops created an unflattering shape), offbeat plunge (ran a cup size big and kind of a saggy shape). I would like to try the other high apex models. Read more 104 more words
i absolutely adore this bra. i didnt go up a cup size when i went down a band size so i do have some quadboob, just barely though. i feel dumb haha but the reason i didnt is bc cups are always way too wide for me (even my other freya!) so i was thinking it would balance out; but the cups are actually suited for narrow roots! its so comfortable but it shows under most shirts, but i could care less about that! power to the bra wearers. a slay in my book
EDIT: quadboob became out of control; guess my boobs grew a bit! will list for sale.
Possibly try a cup size down in this one, or if it needs more top fullness. Gore is ok-ish, but this height often feels like it’s digging in after a bit of time in it. The hard line edge seems to cut into my tissue just a bit. The shape I’m left with is almost a triangular wedge.
I missed the mark on this one again. Band is too loose on me. Unstretched, the band length is about the same as my comfortable/snug measurement. This made the bra ride up in the back even clasped on the tightest hooks. The cups didn't sit in the right place on me because of this, and I had space in the bottom of the bra since it was sitting too low. I was also dealing with some quad-boob on top, and I believe this also made the bra not want to tack in the right location. I think I need more projection than this bra offers. I am learning ...I am more full on top than I initially realized.
Outside of my personal fit, I think this bra would work best for people with average or tall roots. The cups are wider than some other bras I've tried in a 28D and that's something to keep in mind as well. I loved the nude color, and this bra seems like it would be great if you are the type that doesn't like seams to show under clothing. Read more 78 more words
Hi! You might want to try Comexim, you can try their 26 bands through Breakout Bras. They’re returnable if they don’t work for you. I had the exact same issues with 28 bands, in fact, I might have had that same Freya in a 28D. It didn’t work for me either!
was sold to me as a 30g (not sure why they lied about size?) but still fits me thankfully! bra is very comfortable, i *could* sister size for a larger band but this bra is hard to come by. glad to finally have something from my wish list!
I have nothing good to say about this bra. It's a 30E, but the cups fit like a DD at best, and the top part of the cup is too big but too small??? The band is HUGE. I had it on the 3rd set of hooks and it was too big.
Bra feels comfy but the straps pull my soft tissue too much on the sides giving me a weird shape. The difference in fabric thickness at the bottom vs the top gives me a quad boob effect. It would have fit better if the fabric was double lined all throughout. The fabric curled slightly at the very top. Not a good fit for me.
