True to band and cup size. The cup separation is slightly too wide for me, but it folds to mostly meet the boob contours so there is only minor gore gaping. The quality doesn't seem the highest, and the color scheme is weird, but I'd say it mostly fits.
This bra's a bit of an odd one for me. I swear when I tried it on in the store it fit (with a bit of wrinkling) but the shape & size of the cup is just so wrong for me it's unwearable. My boobs must have changed shape.
This fabric is soft and comfy. The lining of the cups is just thick enough to cover the nipples but doesn't add any size.
This bra gives me an uplifted yet rounded shape, I don't feel compressed the way some rounder bras make me feel. I like this bra's vertical seams. I'm splayed, so it helps keep my boobs pointed to the center. The seams are prominent and show through a thin t-shirt.
I think I am slightly too FOB for this bra. There's a little bit of gaping at the top, but not enough for me to size down or get rid of it. I think this effect is made worse by the fact that the straps are very far back, almost in my armpits. If they were a bit closer to the center, I feel like the fit would be better.
I swapped a bra for the Patsy in a 30E and while I can make it work I think I would prefer it in a 28F. The band for Patsy runs large even for Freya it stretches to nearly 33in. The band doesn't exactly ride up, but it is definitely too loose on the loosest hook, it fits much better on the tightest and when I wear it at the tightest hook, it also solves the bit of gaping I get when I have it on the loosest. While I can make this bra work, I would ideally like to try it in a 28F so I can get more life out of it.
I ordered this off Amazon, and I wasn't sure about an orange bra, but this is gorgeous. The cups are definitely half cups though, not a lot of coverage. I felt like I should be getting quad boob, but the cups don't lay flat so they actually have some gape. The bra definitely isn't too big in the cups though. I'm thinking I would prefer it in a 28 band, and I'm guessing I should try a 28FF? Any thoughts? I didn't get a chance to measure the bra since I wanted to ship it back ASAP.
Update I did try the 28FF and it was too wide. I would try the 28F, but I don't think that lace is going to lay flat regardless of the size. From the few reviews I've looked at on here no one else has mentioned the lace not laying flat, but maybe it does after a few wears.
This bra band is tighter than my 30DD - Freya ยป Ooh La La Plunge Balcony Bra (1481) in black/henna. Seems TTS to me and fits even though the wires are wider than my IMF, so some wire bending will come I think. Given that I am experiencing some boob growth/tissue migration - not sure if need to hurry with that. I usually prefer a 28 band in Freyas, but this one I got at a reasonable price, while the 28F (my dream size) was available for full price only. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> A pretty decent fit, I'd say. blush colourway
This bra is great, it fits really well and feels like your favorite tshirt. It's a very simple style, but still really pretty. The band feels firmer than other Freyas and I though it might not be as stretchy, but it does stretch the same amount.
Need a 28 band. The 30 closes on the tightest hook straight out of the box and I know it will stretch. Very cute bra, I have the Zest pastel colors.
Edit: I definitely quad out of this, now that I know what a better fit is. Need an F, and a smaller band, so would need a 28FF if it was made. Unfortunately it's not, so as much as I looooove this bra, I sold it. The whole point of this bra fitting quest of mine is to own and wear bras that actually fit. Sigh. Another one bites the dust.
The Angels sang as I put this bra on. It fits so well and is so comfortable. I really like the colour and pattern. It's see through, but my nipples seem to blend into the pattern so they aren't noticeable. It's a natural shape without being pointy. I purchased this bra used but in new condition. I think she tried altering the band and I can see some threads that she put in and cut before sending it to me, but it's not a problem.
I love this bra. It's so pretty and comfortable and soft. I wish I could find the matching panties, but since this design is from 2013(?) I highly doubt that I could. If anyone has a size small they've never worn, I'll buy them off you!
The band is slightly too loose, causing the straps to fall down. Using the second sets of hooks straightaway. Digs into my sternum and the fabric is scratchy so the straps irritate my skin. The embroidery on the edges of the cups shows under clothing but makes my boobs look bigger and gives a lovely shape. There is some gaping at the top and some wrinkling in the cup- maybe a 30dd would fit better? Or maybe the cups are too tall?
Even though this is meant to be the same cut as the patsy it is way more comfortable- the straps are lovely and don't irritate my skin, and doesn't seem to dig into to my sternum so much. The cups fit perfectly and are slightly smaller than the patsy. Love the interesting pattern too. Seems to be slightly better quality than the patsy as well. Gives me a nice slight cleavage.
This is such a beautiful bra i love it I just wish it fit better. I find calling this padded is misleading it has a light fabric to cover your nipples but no foam padding at all. This bra has wide wires and is on the shallower side . This is for the blue and pink polka dot version.
Pros : nice design, comfotable cups
Cons: large band need to size down in band had 30e need a 28f scratchy material pointy shape
I'm normally a 30E or 32E in several brands and am evenly full on top and bottom, and I went with a 30E in this one (I just made a quasi-educated guess, as I wasn't sure what size I'd be in the Deco; a different Freya bra fits me in a 30E size), and it doesn't fit me in several ways - the cups are too big on top (the cups don't rest on my breasts, I could stuff a fair few things in them), and the cup width is too narrow, as they cut into my outer breast tissue. Additionally, the band was too tight for me (and I like a snug band). Even if I went to a 32DD to get a looser band and smaller cup size, or tried the half cup variety, I don't think this model would fit, due to the issues with cup width not being wide enough for my shape. This seems like a better model for those with more narrow-rooted breasts than mine that are fuller on top.
This is another (bubblegum) pink bra I bought from the same ABTF user. It's super pretty, has a slight satiny feeling inside the cups, but it's mostly a stretch lace/mesh type material. Very comfortable. Band is snug, straps are fully adjustable, center wires touch. Shape is fairly rounded, though when I tried it on last night I got a pointer, but still perky shape. My boobs are naturally pointy and tube-y, so I think it really depends on how you adjust yourself in the bra (if you have softer tissue I guess) and your natural shape. Detailing is very pretty and delicate. I'm not entirely sure if cups are intended fof FoT FoB ...or even, but I'm about even, functionally FoB, and this works very well for me. Cups don't stop at a strange angle or height like the Patsy. This has a closer fit IMO, to the Eden and Starlet on me. Even Siren. It just gives a rounder shape than all 3.
Band is fairly firm, but I've also temporarily gone up to like 30.5" underbust https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> so that may be why.
Cups are close enough for me, wires are pretty narrow at about 5", which is great. I haven't checked depth yet, but so far it feels great and there is no gapping or quadding.
I was completely surprised to find that this bra fit, aside from the band being far too loose. It was very comfy, even the straps with their weird crinkled material. (That made the straps kind of hard to adjust, but they stayed put once I got them tight enough.) I tried to hook the j-hook but I couldn't figure out how to do it with the straps adjusted to fit me.
So happy with this bra!! It's the first nearly perfect fit in my bra adventures! Pros: Comfortable, soft fabric, band is perfect, cups are lined/lightly padded and for the first time EVER I have OOMPH without bulky padding! It really pushes my boobs up and it creates a really nice shape. I would say that if I had bigger breasts, it could potentially create an NSFW look...but since I have a smaller chest, it's perfect and provides the fuller look that I prefer. I recommend going down a band size and up a cup size. I'm typically a 32DD and the 30E fits perfect.
Cons: Non that I can think of right now!
Edit: Wore it for 11 hours and really had some problems with the underwires staying in my fold, therefore, the gore dug into my chest and I couldn't adjust the bands enough without them digging into my shoulders. I discovered I am too projected for this size bra. My guess is, I could benefit from a 30F.
This is such a cute bra! I love the color and the fit. I think the underwire might be a little tight on my ribs under my armpits, but overall comfortable and the cup is perfect. I might try a larger band. I wish this came in a nude/t-shirt color, because it looks great under a white shirt aside from the color (bright pink and blue polka-dots don't work under white!).
I had really high hopes for this bra based off of measurements and my knowledge of it.
I've done well with the Freya Siren, Unlined Eden, and Starlet in 30E. I'm unsure how similar they really are, but they DO give a somewhat similar shape.
This bra is just...it gives that not-wearing-a-bra-full-on-bottom&perky look, which, the others do, and I like..but this one, there's something off. It pushes you further outward, unlike the others.
I've been reading reviews, and after realizing the other day that I'm lopsided (semi more FoT and fuller on left, more FoB on right), and that I can't determine my shape the average way because they're weird- I'm ...just going with FoB-even, and shallow on top. And, this bra shows it.
I also have a lot of muscle that even I confuse with boob. There appears to be more tissue on top, and thus, FoT, but I have long roots and it's so shallow that I do better with FoB bras.
I can fill out the bottoms of the cups, but the tops are wrinkly and when I look down, I just see two triangles. Not as bad as not wearing a bra, but just..odd.
Not like the Siren,Eden unlined, or Starlet either. I can fill out those cups in 30E perfectly and they give me that perky, natural, semi pointer shape, while looking much more filled out on bottom from lifting.
This, it seems to have side support or something, which puts your boobs up front and center. In a bad way. I need up front and centered cups with depth, definitely. I don't like how side support and/or whatever is going on here on the sides to push my tissue MORE forward- makes my boobs look.
I'm already thin boobed and have little width and more depth, so it makes me look like I'm wearing a bullet bra. I also have tall roots, so this bra just looks silly on me like my Just Peachy Lace Non Padded Balconette. I wanted to love that bra and it had perfect wires, but it just looked funny.
Speaking of wires, the wires on this bra weren't quite as narrow as I had expected. Though I fear, if they were any narrower, I may have more torpedo-esque boobs.
I guess I've learned that while I need depth, I like somewhat heavier material(this is a very very thin mesh-like material), or at least this material cut in a semi different way that flattens my boobs just a bit..or at least doesn't wrinkle.
The band is also decent. It's not like the Cleo Maya I received, or Freya Deco Vibe, but still seems supportive.
I thought of trying to trade this for a 30DD or 28E, but I'm unsure. Maybe it's just not for me.
If you need projection, but are less full on top, or shalllow all around definitely, this bra is not for you.
If you need narrower wires, a lot of upper or all around projection, it may work for you. If you do want to try this bra but are shallow on top, maybe try sizing down in the cup. I'm not sure, as I haven't tried that, and I'm not so crazy about this bra that I would desire to keep trying to make it work. Also, if you're looking for a bra that gives you bullet bra boobs, look no further.
I'm pretty sure I'd like to sell this. If anyone reads this and you're interested, just inbox me. It just doesn't seem compatibles with my shape.
Edit: I just looked at the photos of this bra, in the light, and realized that it wrinkles some at the bottom too. This is probably because I'm not full anywhere really but the center. Oh dear. Not tubey booby friendly. This will be listed.
Have you ever thought about just altering the band?
It's not as hard as it may sound, and most methods don't even require a sewing machine.
