Doesn't fit, the cups are too big, which is weird because are quite shallow. I have no idea what bra size I'm now, still can't have a bra that fit me.

This bra might work well for self-supporting or firm breasts. It kind of makes my soft/pendulous boobs look smooshed. I also wish they made this in a 28 band, because it's even more stretchy & long than other Freyas I've tried. I do appreciate the very slight padding (it's not substantial) for days I went a little more nip coverage.

This is another fail in my never-ending quest to find a t-shirt bra that fits. I love how this bra looks. The lightly gray and soft yellow lace accents are so pretty (and a nice alternative from a boring nude.) When I bought this bra online, I didn't realize that it was the same model as the Idol - which I had tried in 30E, 30F, 28F and 28FF - with no success. The band for the Freya is quite firm and the bra is very smooth in appearance. It disappears under a t-shirt, unlike the Deco which always seems to leave visible lines. Like the Freya Idol, I find this style a little too wide and shallow for me (quadding at the top, emptiness at the bottom). I am quite FOT and projected, so buying this bra may have been wishful thinking on my part. I love the look and the quality, but sadly this one is not for me. The quest continues.

I really like this bra. It gives a nice shape. I do think it is a touch shallow for me or the wires aren't long enough or it isn't wide enough. I really don't know what the problem is but it gives me side boob.

I really like this bra. It is comfortable. Has nice set straps, not too wide. It might run a touch shallow. Also, not quite sure I measured the cup depth correctly so that may be off. I have tall shallow roots and I gape in almost every bra I have tried. While I also have slight gaping in this bra it is not noticeable under a shirt. So I would say it would be good for those with tall, shallow roots.

This is such a beautiful and vibrant bra! Very fun colors and fit. Fun key hole center with a blue+red leopard bows complementing it. The bra is a single layer of mesh, supports my breasts well, but not a lot of side support on the breasts. For being a single hook closure, this bra supports very well. The lace at the top of the cup has an elastic line. I am short rooted and had the typical gaping near the top of the cup where strap meets cup, but this did not show under clothing. The straps are of decent wideness. The cups and ... lace do not have stretch. The colors on this bra are so vibrant and fun. I enjoyed wearing this as an everyday bra, it’s very comfortable. As usual with freya, keep in mind the band feels like it runs big, so sister sizing down may be a better option, if you are ever in the market for this bra. Unfortunately due to weight loss I no longer fit this cup, BUT I did manage to snag one in my new size and can’t wait for it to arrive.

This bra is beautiful. It has lots of projection, but sadly, the wires are too narrow for me.

Love this style of bra! Lightly padded and gives a round shape, looks great under a tshirt. Perfect for my squishy, even-ish fullness boobs, definitely part of my rotation. Pattern is fine, but I prefer plain colors.

This bra reminds me of something Daisy Mae from L'il Abner would wear as a top. At first glance it looks a little like a longline, but it's not. The green floral print is attached at the top of the cups, but flows loosely below in, giving the longline-ish look to it. It's very summery and cute. Sadly the cups aren't quite tall enough for me and I don't feel very secure in it.

I love how this bra looks! The fabric is beautiful and the quality is exactly what I expect! I wish I could get it in my head that this shape is great for even shapes but not for my nike swoop splayed breasts..

The classic Freya halfcup, fits as expected. Soft fabric and spring-like colours.

Love this bra although I do get a little gapping at the top of the right cup after wearing it awhile. It feels as if it fits perfectly after scooping the girls into the cups when I first put it on so I'm not sure what exactly the issue is. Will try ordering it in a 30DD to see if that works better. The band seems to fit well, is comfortable, stays in place all day and, as an added bonus, there are no unsightly bulges across my back when I'm wearing it under a fitted t-shirt. Yay!
One month later....Finally ordered the 30DD and it fits much better but still gaps a bit in the top of the cup, especially on the right.
One year later.... I've just purchased both the Freya Spotlight moulded plunge bra and the Freya Hattie bra, both in 30DD and they fit perfectly with no gapping at the top of the cup. They also give me better cleavage.

The wires in this particular 30E are particularly short for their wire channels. My measurement for cup width went from tip to tip of the wire and I got 5". If I measure the ends of the wire channels, it's closer to 5.5". Similarly with I measured the wire length only from tip to tip of the wire and got 9.5". If I measure the whole wire channel, it is 10.5".
Not sure if all Gems have this short wire or if it is just mine.

I think my shape just doesn't agree with Freya unlined plunges. I don't have enough center or top fullness to fill this bra out, so the top bit of the cup and stretch lace won't lay right.

I like this, except it gave me the weird armpit boob thing, so I think the cups are a little too narrow? Closest I've come in awhile, though.

The cups are SUPER huge. Weirdly, this claims to be a 30E, but the other sizing doesn't match up (e.g. the FR size is 65F).

My Shape: Soft, slightly pendulous, low set, narrow and short rooted.
This bra is a molded strapless bra that comes with optional straps. I got the cream colour. The bra is well made, and the construction is solid. It has an elastic around the band that is sticky, and 3 hooks at the back that helps to make it feel more secure.
This bra doesn't have great immediate projection, which is what I need... so there's a gap at the bottom of the cup and my breasts were pushing the bra down. This makes it unwearable for me, as my boobs then come out of the top. I sized down in this bra as I've heard the Deco's fit big, but I have quad boob happening too. Not sure if the quad boob is because the bra is too shallow or because it's too small. Either way, this bra is getting returned.

I chose this bra because it has three vertical seams and is a half cup, all factors that are good for those who are shallow and/or have tall roots.
However, the band seems very elastic and the cups seem huge! The band may be my issue as I measure 28 snug but sister sized up due to unavailability. Not sure if it is me, but I found the cup size significantly too large. As a reference, the Freya Starlet vertical seem bra I tried on (30DD) is MUCH SMALLER and I quad in that size If I were to try this again, I'd go for 28E.

I love the look of this bra (I really, really wish they made some plainer colors, though!) I do get some gore pain after wearing it all day, but its the closest I've come bra-fitting wise.

This was a much better fit than the 32DD. Cups fit much better but band is still a bit stretchy.

UK brand t-shirt bras have never worked for me, which I had an easier time accepting when I was 25lbs heavier and bigger busted and really insanely projected for my size range, but it's kinda ridiculous now that I am in the 30F/32E range. I think they design their smooth molded cups to be too "flattening" in order to force a true round shape (no discernible apex at all) so for people who are especially center heavy and/or projected at the apex of the breast it just ends up not working. Are you in the USA or Canada? If you can find a place online or in store that sells a lot of Wacoal and Natori foam molded (unpadded) designs, some of them actually have really fantastic depth at the apex and are not super wide. You just have to investigate the different designs. Usually the ones that are only slightly plungey or else just a good old full cup will have the most projected shape. They all look SO much alike it is a bit confusing at first but if you keep track of the model names or numbers it's easier to discern if you are looking at a new and different design or not.
They also run snug in the band so if you are a true 30 or even small 30/sometimes 38, their 30 bands should work quite well.
