This is the most well fitting bra I've ever owned! It is very comfortable, especially for a lined bra with underwires, and it gives me a great shape.

This bra is comfortable and fits well, although the gores are slightly too high and wide for me. It's one of 2 Freya bras I've tried, and so far this is my favorite brand!

This bra is fantastic for buttcrack cleavage! One cup size too small is the way to go with this bra.

This bra is honestly so frustrating to me. It was the first 30 band I ordered and the band is SO firm and feels SO supportive. Unfortunately, the fabric is terrible for my skin! I've only worn this bra twice because when I do, the lace rubs near my armpits raw.

Despite the cups being a cup size too small (I bought this before I realized I needed a 30FF), the cups give a nice shape and work with my body well. If the fabric wasn't so dang itchy, it'd probably be my favorite bra.

On the note of the cups being too small, I do get slight ... quadboob in this bra, especially on my large size. It's probably hard to see in pictures because of the stretch lace. I also get some spilling out near the armpits, which I am sure exasperates the issue of the fabric rubbing there and making me uncomfortable.

If you have a similar shape to me (FOB, immediate projection, center full, short and narrow roots, and wide set) and don't have sensitive skin, this bra will probably fit you well!

This bra is a longline that has five hooks with two rows of eyes, but only two rows are part of the 'bra' and the rest are part of the 'lette'. This makes the longline feel faux to me, as I'm used to Freya longlines being all one piece. It's very pretty and still offers a flattering silhouette.

This bra fits perfectly in the cups for me, and I love the thick straps. Where it doesn't fit is in the band on the 'bra' part (the longline part is fine) -- the backs of the straps dig into my back. I'd happily try this model in a 32E.

Ideally I’d need a 30H but since the Deco isn’t made above a GG and is my all time favorite bra I’m making due with the 32GG on the second or tightest hook. Once I break the band in more and it starts to stretch out I’ll probably need to take it in though. How I wish they’d expand the size range on this bra! If I end up above a 30H/32GG and completely sized out of this style I don’t know what I’ll do. I have 8 of them now, all in different band and cup sizes thanks to weight fluctuations and tissue migration. It may not be the fanciest bra out there but shape wise it’s my perfect fit, it always looks great under clothes, and I find it to be very comfortable for daily wear since I basically live in T-shirts.

I bought this bra when I realized I had to give up one I've outgrown. When I first tried it on, I kept thinking I saw a hint of quadboob on my larger side. As it turns out, I have to lean forward she readjust this bra when I first put it on to get the underwire where it needs to be. Also, it is completely sheer, so you might want to wear some sort of pasty if you have pointy nipples

I got this set from harmonbuzz on r/braswap. It's a bit worn, but It fits pretty well.

This fits well where I need support and gives a reasonable shape (not much lift though), but there is just too much room at the top. If it's cut like the Naomi, going down a size will be too small everywhere else. I just don't have anything on top for the lacy part of this cup. It's otherwise very pretty.

Updated on Nov 01, 2020 Flag this

Bit of a gap at the strap, especially on the smaller side, and maybe a whisper of quadding on the big side, but overall a pretty great fit!I like the contrast between the two patterns; it's a nice aesthetic. Feels supportive and gives a nice shape.

This houndstooth pattern is quite pretty! Unfortunately, too small. I would like to try this in a 28G or GG. The lace cuts in at the top, but the rest of the cup gives a nice shape. I'm not sure if a size up would be too wide at the sides or not.

I am not full enough on top to fill out the lace on this bra, which is a shame because otherwise the fit is quite good. There are no creases around the bottom and it gives a nice rounded shape. It doesn't seem to have extra space at the sides either, which is nice. This would be a great summer bra as it is so light and airy! The embroidery is quite lovely as well. I'm not sure if sizing down would fix this.

Given my recent successes with Freya's padded longline styles, I had very high hopes for Floral Bonanza, as it looked like the closed-top 3HC fit that has been working well for me. I had expected this to fit closely to the Summer Haze Longline, which I love, but unfortunately there are some key differences that were not immediately apparent from the photos. Unlike the Summer Haze and the new Patsy fits, this is a 3HC that is more open on the top, similar to the old Patsy fit, but the cup is a little bit smaller and taller.

Unfortunately, this means that while the bra appears to ... fit me at first, after my tissue settles into the cups, there is obvious gapping at the top. At first I thought there was some issue with the fit of the band, but now I think it is mostly due to the cup shape. If the upper edge of the band were firmer, it would help keep things in place after scooping, but ultimately the cup shape would still be too open and tall for me. Therefore, this would be good for someone who did well with the old Patsy fit, or finds that new Patsy/Summer Haze are too closed on top. This is better suited for FOT shapes.

Compared to the Summer Haze Longline, the band construction and measurements are pretty similar, but Floral Bonanza has an additional decorative elastic edge along the bottom of the band (I included this in the wing height measurement but not the gore measurement). The elastic has a bit of a checkerboard pattern and isn't particularly tight, so I don't think it affects the fit much. The main difference in how the two bands feel is due to the fabric of the main band portion. The Summer Haze band was made of mesh lined with non-stretch tricot, and it was very comfortable on me and didn't feel constrictive at all. The main portion of this band is made from the same thin, silky printed fabric that covers the cups, but I think it is a bit more rigid than the mesh used on Summer Haze. I found this band to be borderline uncomfortable as it applied more pressure, though the band measurement was just fine, and it wasn't hooked too tight. Thus, this is not a great fabrication for people sensitive to chest compression. As with Freya's other longlines, there are only 2 sets of 6 hooks, limiting the adjustability of the band fit.

The overall bra is made from the same silky printed fabric in a black and white flowers and leaves design, and accented with larger blossoms in a soft tonal print of chartreuse, pink, and lilac. I think this is quite a nice design, and makes the style more flexible as it can be worn as a solid black garment. There are no visible seam accents, and the upper cup edge and the lower edge of the band are decorated with the same black checkerboard elastic. Straps are medium-width textured elastic with picot edges and are fully adjustable with no fabric trim. The center gore has a two-tone black and chartreuse ribbon bow, and a small round textured charm.

Overall, the appearance of this bra is very nice, and I wish it had worked out! It is a great option for someone who is comfortable with a firmer feel around the ribcage, and needs a bit more upper fullness in their 3HC shapes.

=============

Update 10/30/20: I had actually returned this and repurchased it. With my current measurements between 28E/28F, it now fits with no issues. Many bras that used to be too open at the top when I was a smaller 28E now fit with no issues.

A size too big, but I think this would be better on someone fuller on top regardless of size. It gapes at both the top (creasing along the seam with the lace) and there is a ton of empty space at the sides (too wide). What is worse, when the wire is at the IMF, it rolls off my ribcage in an uncomfortable way and the gore digs in a bit even just when trying on. I don't think that changing the size would fix the fit.

38H - Freya » Daisy Lace Balcony (5131) had a lot of room at the top of the cup, which is an unusual problem for my shape. This left some large gaps at the straps and sides. The shape was quite low and pointy. I think a smaller cup size might solve some of the issues. Overall, I didn't care for the feel of this or the look.

The fit of this seems good, but it starts to dig after a while - specifically the tag, rings that connect the straps in the back, and the sides of the cups under the armpit. The shape of the cups are rather angular instead of round on me. Sizing up to 32DD helped these issues.

Might fit in a size larger, or the straps might be too short. Super pretty! I love the strap details, and an attractive bra in a chocolate brown colour is a rarity.

I think this would fit in a larger cup size as long as the wires didn't become super wide.

Some gapping at the top. Otherwise a very comfortable fit, with no quadding in the centre and a tacking gore. May just need a different size.

Good shape and no quadding in the centre! Super comfortable.
