Controversial, but I like the look of this bra - the gore is free of those flippin' tiddly-tacked-on-bows (yay!). Sadly the bra's too small in the band and I was too lazy to return it so hey-ho. An unwelcome drawer-mate it remains.
I chanced it by buying a bra extender to try and get my money's worth out of the thing but no joy. The gore still doesn't lie perfectly flat and the cups are way too wide! I get that whole east-west nonsense going on and I'm the type that demands side-support and a more upfront (dare I say pointy?) shape.
Overall it's just not my type of bra, even if it did happen to fit. I demand uplift and I'm okay with that.Updated on Aug 25, 2015 Flag this

Another bra that I tried on at a visit to Nordstrom. I love the way that this color looks on me, but the shape it gave me was oh so sad. The material was a bit scratchy, but I imagine that it would soften with wear.

This bra has a good amount of projection, but it won't work for taller roots. The cups are semi sheer, but thick. Good quality bra.

This is a strange bra where the band is way too small, i'm normally a 30GG and this one I couldn't fasten without an extension!

Runs a bit snugger in the band than a typical Freya. Reminds me a bit of the old Pollyanna, so shape doesn't quite work for me. More suitable for upper fullness than most Freya bras.

Looks well made, fits pretty well with band on tightest hooks...very stretchy.

After a couple attempts (also tried 32G-- drowned in it, 32F-- could hardly fit in it), this seems like my supposed size for Freya, or at least this style, except it still fits extremely poorly. I'm getting severe orange-in-glass folding on the bottom and middle and quad-boob on the top. About all I can say is the band seemed to be true to size for me, and I liked the look, or would have, if it ever fit.

This doesn't fit me anymore but is still in good condition, I never liked the shape it gave me tho - it was kind of a tear drop shape and not lifted or rounded enough from the side view.. so I didn't wear it much. but its v pretty

First off-this bra is one of my bras from before I knew my approximate correct bra size. When I first got it, I thought it was tight in the band, but now I realize-it's just because the cups are too small! I can wear it easily on the tightest hooks, and can still pull it away from my body enough to fit two or three fists in there. It also rides up on the tightest hook. After measuring the band, I instantly knew why-unstretched, it measures 26 inches! My BTT is 26.5, and relaxed is 27, so of course it's too big. However, I added it here for ... science/measurement purposes to help others, and it will be listed so that it can go to a good home.
Pros:
Gorgeous color-a true red that I hope to find in a correctly fitting bra someday! Red can be tricky with my coloring, but this one is really pretty.
Seems very well made, I think it would last a long time for the right person.
Medium Narrow wires, though for me I need a touch narrower, on a correctly fitting bra.
Cons:
I quadboob, but this is understandable, since my actual size is 26HH or J, and I usually wear 28H or HH bras. (The cup volume of this bra, if my math is correct, is closer to that of a 28FF or G, since it goes 32E-30F-28FF and the cups seem to run a bit large, since they are about the same depth as another 32 band bra I am listing in a F cup(which also runs a tad large). Because the band is so loose, I couldn't get a picture where the full extent of overspill is visible-every time I stepped back to wait for the timer, my breast ended up moving around and the quadding at top became less visible.Probably why I thought these sizes fit for so long....)
Straps don't adjust short enough for my narrow shoulders and higher set chest. (My root starts pretty high up)
Band runs large, which could also be a pro depending on your measurements.
Overall, a lovely bra, and I hope it can go to someone who will enjoy it!
