This is the comfiest unpadded bra I own. Usually with unpadded bras, the wires will grind the heck out of my ribcage right under my boobs, leaving me bruised and sore. This wire, however, feels softer and more pliable than CK and Panache wires. I like it!

Great fit, very comfortable, after wearing for 8 hours though the center gore does tend to push into my sternum.

I loved this bra, but have grown out of it. The stitching that runs along the cup causes it to cut in when my weight fluctuates. Super comfortable. Great for under light t shirts.

This review is for a black Freya Jolie in 28H - I also own a white Freya Jolie in 28GG. I ordered the black Jolie a cup size up from the other one, because dark/black bras tend to run a little bit smaller than white ones. I have since gone up in cup size, so the white does not fit perfectly anymore.
My first thought is "welcome to the shitty end of pattern grading". Even in the wrong size, the 28GG is a better overall fit than the the 28H - for unknown reasons, in the jump from GG-H, the cups become an inch wider, scamper up ... into my armpit, go from medium coverage to being exposed under EVERY top and develop a weird side-splayed shape.
The floral mesh is not the most attractive choice of fabric, but it is ever so soft and breathable. The cups run up a little bit high, the straps are gigantic and ugly, and there's out of place looking tiny flower details. This bra won't be winning any beauty contests but it is among the most comfortable bras I have ever owned.

This is a gorgeous bra from Freya in a plunge style. It isn't as plunging as their Deco so suitable for those who prefer a more balcony or half cup style.
The fabric is very soft with a modern tattoo design print with embroidered mesh to the upper section of the cups. Colours are white, pink and black.
I am usually a 28H in Freya though wear a 28GG in Deco however I feel this 28H is tighter than I like to wear. Those who a more a 26 or 28 band would like this one (I measure 29"). The band is tight and the central gore doesn't lay flat for me but that's purely because I have a close set bust which needs a plunge to be lower than this.

For my bra review in detail please see my originally review for size 28GG, review found here: http://bra.pe/RBpj/
The back-band fits quite well, fitting just like the 28GG. However the cups on this bra are too big for me. I seem to be in between a GG and an H cup. Much like the 28GG this bra gives me “torpedo” boobs. This bra is just not for me in any size. Sadly this will have to be returned. It’s a shame. The material is very comfortable, and I love the print.

This has a beautiful muted print that is just a tad too big for me in the cups. It is more like a full cup than a balcony, and as is normal for Freya, the wires are not as strong, and the elastic is very stretchy.

Very comfortable stretch lace, pretty design. Band and cup run LARGE. Shape is very projected and a touch pointy. Has three hooks in the back, which is fabulous for comfort and rare for Freya.

This bra is really light and I forget I am wearing it.
This is a pretty new bra to me, and I have lots too trade it off with. My only issue is it being white, that it picks up the oils of the skin very quickly so I wash it a lot.

This bra fits well, similar fit to the Freya Faye. It was a bit tight initially but loosened up after a few days (I wear my band tight though, as my ribcage is 30.5). Wide comfy straps.

This bra is really good for my breasts which are fuller towards the bottom than the top and set quite close, but droopy and head off in the direction of the armpits. It has thick straps which not everyone likes but they are comfy. I can wear this bra all day. It felt very tight around the band when I first bought it and has eased off a lot now, so I'm not sure how long it will last if it stretches further. I'd love something similar. It doesn't allow any cleavage at all which is a shame.

I now fully understand why GG+ ladies are not always the biggest fans of Freya's bras. The difference in construction between their D-G cup bras and the GG+ bras is striking. I've heard the larger sizes described as "industrial", and I think that's an accurate word to use.
The straps and band are wider; the cup comes up farther under the arms and on the chest; the cup fabric is thicker; and most annoyingly, the proportions of lace to fabric on the cups just seem off. Because the fabric of the cups is thicker, the seams on the cups are also more noticeable under some clothing. (I know not everyone is worried about this, but for those who are...)
The fabric of this bra is very pretty, and does cover the straps almost all the way down the back. Fortunately, the straps are still fully adjustable as the adjuster-thingy easily slides right over the fabric.
I usually need a 30 band (my ribcage measures 30" ), but had no trouble at all comfortably hooking the band on this bra.

This is a very pretty basic white bra. Double lined fabric, no padding. I wish the center front was lower and the cups were less full coverage. I'm not sure why they can make a balcony bra in a 28H but not the other Lauren style. The band is a little looser than what I'd like. It fits nicely on the middle set of hooks. There is a pretty bow in the center of the gore, it may have to come off so I can wear this under T-shirts. We'll see how it wears.
I have been sitting on this review for a while. This is a gorgeous looking bra and I thought it would grow on me. But once again, I love the picture of the product more than the product itself....

This bra was wayyy too big for me. That's my fault, though. I wear a 28g in the Freya Deco, and think that I need a 28ff. It's a really cute bra, though, and I can't wait to try my new size! The straps are really wide, and I love that. Also, the lace is very soft.

Such a nice looking bra
