Freya Rose Tapestry is probably one of the few printed bras that I am actually drawn to, since I usually prefer to wear solids. However, unfortunately the shape of this bra is not a good match for me. While Freya lace bra seem to work well for me, I've been struggling with the fit of their fabric bras, and have concluded that the narrow wires in many of the styles just isn't for me.
First, the styling of the bra: I really like the feminine rose print, which has a bit of a digital pixelated effect to make it look slightly more abstract. The fabric ... is a supportive yet lightweight poly/nylon blend that feels really comfortable (same as Freya Fearne), and the geo lace detail is not quite soft, but certainly not as rough as Fancies or the sharkskin-like Starlight Side Support Bra. There are silver connectors on the straps, and the center gore has ribbon with a triangular silver charm. Not my favorite details, but they are subtle and don't bother me.
The cut of this bra is identical to the Starlight Side Support Bra, with a three-piece cup with side sling panel. This shape usually works well for me (Panache Envy), however this bra in particular has very narrow wires. The width of the cups measures smaller than my Starlight, so I get the orange in a glass effect because I can't squeeze in to the cup and fill it out. While the top edge sits flush against my skin, the cup looks a little baggy. If this bra were final sale, I would probably adjust the wires and open them up, but I didn't want to mess with this bra in case this didn't work out, and decided to return it.
If you have a narrower and more projected shape, I would highly recommend this bra as a beautiful and comfortable option. The shape is a little retro, but not as pointy as Panache Tango or Panache Andorra. Overall I love the style, but I need wider and shallower cups.
