Attempt at finding my size. while the band was comfy it could be tighter and the cups on top did not fill out. On to a smaller size.

Band is slightly loose, but I fasten it on a tightest hook mainly for visual reasons - on middle hook it still feels alright. I bought this bra because of its awesome print; the only thing that annoyed me were little ribbons on straps - so I cut them off.

I don't even know why I bothered to try this bra. I guess it just looks too good. Although the top seam is stretch lace, there is an elastic near the edge so the cups still cut into my tall roots. The band is a little stretchy and is too loose. There is only one hook so it doesn't make me feel too secure. This bra is projected like other Freya plunge balconies, but it's more like a balcony than a real plunge. The gore is quite high. The cups are also too tall.

Me: FOT, center full, low set, projected and slightly narrow.

Too wide in the wires for me, and it doesn't provide much uplift.....but I love this colour (Chili Red) - it's a gorgeous orangey red, quite 1980s actually, which adds to its charm for me. I love the look of longlines and I like the scalloped lace overlap at the bottom of the band on this Freya - much more flattering than a straight line, on me at least . But over several hours of wear it does bunch up around my underbust a little, and the edges of the lace disappear.

The band itself is comfortable and seems stretchy - I'd recommend sizing down if you're inbetween band sizes. The wires seem fairly thin too, flimsier than those on my Freya Fancies Plunge.

Cute - I love the pattern, and for the most part I love Freya balcony bras, but the embroidery on the top of the cup is not stretchy and does not work well for full on top boobs.

This bra is so pretty, so I'm really sad it doesn't work for me. The cups fit well on my smaller breast, but the nipple on my larger side is threatening to pop out the top of the cup. The top of the cups are very open, and I worry that going up a size will result in gapping, especially on my smaller side.

The detailing on the cups are very evident through light/thin shirts.

Pretty bra, but it doesn't fit me. I think I'd have more luck if I sized up a cup size. I tried a different Freya padded half-cup in a larger cup size, and it fit beautifully.

I thought the bra was very well constructed. The materials used seem to be high quality and the padding gives support and nipple coverage without adding a lot of bulk. The fabric feels a little stiff and scratchy at first, but I think I could get used to it. The seams in the cups aren't too evident, but the frills at the top of the cups show through most of my tops.

The band is like one designed for tapered rib cages, a little longer on top than on bottom. maybe thats why on me the soft cups seem to want to splay farther apart for me as I have a like no descension in circumference along my ribcage. Also this band is the tightest of all Freyas I've tried ...which is to say it runs average for a 28. It's still fairly stretchy and longer than I prefer (I like really snug or 26 size bands) but sturdy and comfy.

The cups are not just padded as in moulded but like padded padded. not hugely but there is .25" of ... squishy compressible foam.

The support is only moderate on me I guess mostly because It is not a shape match. I get extreme cup gaping in the centre and plus the cups fold over at the bottom where theyre too shallow to be filled by my heavy immediate projection...the cups sit on My boobs instead of holding them and taking on their shape. If you are shallow and/or want cleavage this would be a good bra to try.

Me: tall roots reaching collarbone, very close-set (touching), average to narrow width, shallow, splayed east-west, even but functionally FOT due to tall roots, centre-full horizontally, size asymmetry. Measurements: 26" snug UB and 34" leaning bust.

Looks nice! Slightly too big around the chest (because the fabric is stretchy, almost like a bikini top), but is ok on the "tightest" hook. If they made a 28F I think that would be perfect, but the cup size is good/similar to other Freyas.

This bra is very comfortable and a lovely colour, however it is the wrong size for me in the back.

Very pretty. The cups are on the taller side, which suits me. The lace is very delicate and lovely, but not the softest. The band fits like a 30 1/2 on me. I have a little wrinkling on the outer top corner, not sure why, but it doesn't cause me any trouble.

EDIT: the wrinkling has gone now - I've put on a bit of weight recently. I haven't found the Fancies plunge very supportive - I get quite a lot of jiggling actually.

This bra would be perfect for me (FOB, projected, narrow roots) if I had gotten it in the right size. The band was uncomfortably tight and unusually small for Freyas. The material (non-scratchy, thicker material) however felt wonderful and the lift was awesome.

I love this bra, but it gaps at the top on me.

Fits fantastically! Love this bra :3

However since my ribcage ( sternum area ) is shaped a bit inward at the center, I did have to bend the underwires to better cup my breast ( I have a small dip in my sternum ). I bend the wires there inward a bit and that allows me to fill out the cup correctly. I hope that makes sense.

So, the bra itself is great I just need to alter it ( and all bras ) because of my ribcage.

This bra's measurements have been altered

Bent the wires to better cup my breasts. I have a small dip in the center of my chest. Should only affect the cup width and length of bra measurements.

One of 3 bras I got for trying on. Have recently changed sizes.

Wires are ok. Of the three that i'm tryin on, this and 32DD - Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) wires feel the best.

Cup material is eh. Not irritating but not comfortable, not really my thing.

Cup size is pretty large overall. Too much space at the top, especially toward the center. Mostly filling out the bottom, but I think it's just overall too large.

Right now my breasts are on the larger side so when they become a bit less waterlogged, this bra would be even more noticeably oversized. Is the shape relatively correct? If i went one cup size smaller, I worry that it wouldn't be wide enough.

The wires are a little too narrow for me. The gore is a little too wide (but not too tall).
Narrower straps than on the 32F (5/8" vs 3/4").
Bottom line: the cups quad in the center, gape at the top.

Ugh, not a good Freya style for me, and uncomfortable to wear. This bra has a lot of room in the sides of the cup below the strap, but I need room in the middle/ at the gore for my centre fullness. This bra cuts in at the middle, and the cups seem to splay my breasts. Also, the outer knit material feels soft and smooth, but the cup lining and band trim are a scratchy mesh which makes this bra feel uncomfortable to wear.

My first order of Freya padded halfcup, and this one is awful. Fit is too big, cups too wide, too shallow at the wire and too much space up top.

Very lightly lined. The fabric feels quite rough, the mesh is a little bit scratchy.

This was one of my first well-fitting bras and I still love love love it. Initially I was worried because 1) it was a bit pointy (think marilyn monroe boobs) and 2) I was definitely not used to the natural look. Thankfully, the more I wore (and washed) it, those issues have softened. This bra does create an uplifted, natural shape, but it is now more rounded rather than pointy (but still not basketball round like cleo bras). It is not quite as center-full friendly as the Ignite, but it is much better than the Ooh La La. Sizing is consistent (I wear a 30F in all unlined freya except the Rio/Gem).
It is superbly comfortable for all day, though I have noticed the elastic starting to stretch out in the back and in the straps (this bra has been consistently in my rotation for 2 years). The color and pattern is still vibrant and joyful.
