Hated it! The color is the only thing I like about this bra. Scratchy fabric + weird shape + didn't tack + too tight band = a big fat NO!

This is a very cute bra in red with pink stitching on the mesh of the upper cup and pink bows at the straps. It is comfortable and well made of quality materials.
It has more center projection than any other Freya model I've tried, but unfortunately, the wires are just too wide and the cups too shallow, tall and closed on top for my shape.

This is a lovely bra, but my boobs are narrow/round and it is a better match for shallower/wider ones. I tend to be more full on top, but that doesn't cause a problem in this bra. The seams are nice and flat under clothing, and it's not as crazy stretchy in the band as some Freyas. It runs reasonably true to Freya sizing, meaning it fits more like a Panache 34GG.

A pretty bra, but best for someone with less narrow roots. The band runs large and is very stretchy, but the elastic along the edges digs in after several hours because it's so much stronger than the mesh. Wires are a bit wide for me, but not uncomfortable. It's not shallow, but the width of the wires on my narrow roots allows the breast tissue to spread into an unflattering shape.

I actually quite like this bra even though it doesn't fit perfectly. I get a lot of gapping on the sides, and it doesn't stay in place very well (half the time I'll be getting quadboob, and wrinkly fabric at the bottom of the cup, the other half of the time I'll have gapping at the top). Otherwise it's pretty comfortable, the straps fall down my shoulders often but that's not a huge bother to me. And my boobs look really good in it. Cute design, good quality fabric. It just doesn't fit my shape very well.

I like the tight band about this bra, also the cups feel very stable.

Another shallow cup, which is not a friend to my boobs, flattening me out and giving me weird quad boob all at the same time. Band is too stretchy for me as well, but to be fair, I just think Freya are not a good cut for me - whilst the side wings are ok, the 2 hooks don't like my soft back. The weird pose I'm doing doesn't look very flattering, its not as 'back fat' in real life, when I'm not turning my arms out in a weird way and hunching my back up, or doing a weird arms turned in pose from the front (I don't take a good photo!)

Possibly too big in the cup as well especially on the right cup, as the cup tends to collapse in a little on the inside edge giving a weird shape to my boob.

This bra was a little too big and a little too wide. It almost seemed like a big 32H. I wanted a cute nude bra, which it is, but it's a big cute nude bra. Alas.

I bought this for my mum, who is a couple of sizes bigger than me, both in band and cup.

I got this bra from Figleaves, and it smells like it's been washed. It's supposed to be a 32 band, which is what the tag says, but it fits me perfectly, and I have trouble finding 30's that are snug enough for me. I can just about stretch it to 31.5", but only when I pull like CRAZY. Mum couldn't even close it in the back; it took two extenders just to get the back ends to meet, and it was still too tight. The cups were too big - I'm guessing two sizes, but that's probably just a miscalculation on my part. The wires were a good width on her, but I don't know what that means when everything else fit so badly.

Not sure if I got a mislabelled reject or whatever's going on, and I don't know if I have the energy to retry with other sizes. [sighs]

Aaaaah. I love this bra.

1. It sits right at the root of my breast. It perfectly fits my bottom-heavy breasts, which sometimes get orange-in-a-glass even in too-big bras
2. Minimal wrinkling across the tops, which is often a problem even in bras that fit.
3. Band is perfect.
4. Straps are fully adjustable. Yay!
5. Wires are exactly the right height for me under my arms.
6. Gore tacks beautifully.

In summary: This is the perfect bra for my bottom-heavy, soft breasts, and it's sized well. I don't know if I ever want to take it off again. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />


EDIT: After 2 months of wearing this, the band is definitely a little looser than I wish it were. I wear it on the tightest hook. I am on the small side of 32 (many 30s are painfully tight, but many 32s are just a liiiiiiittle on the loose side) and if/when I get this bra again I will definitely do so in 30HH.

Purchased this in my normal size 32H. Band feels firm but not too tight. Cup size is correct - no gaping or quad boob. Central gore lies flat. The bra itself is very supportive. However, I personally don't like the slightly pointy shape (in common with most Freya bras) this gives me - I prefer a more rounded shape - hence this bra just isn't for me.

I purchased this bra in my normal size 32H. I would say that the band is firm but not uncomfortably tight - the cups are the correct size - no gaping or quad boob on show. Whilst this bra offers great support, I personally don't like the slightly pointy shape (in common with most Freya bras) this gives me - I prefer a more rounded shape - hence this bra just isn't for me.

I bought this bra after seeing a blogger's review of it. I was hoping it would fit but it was too wide and shallow. It did give a nice profile.

This bra is the perfect depth for my full on bottom, lots of projection boobs. I also have really soft breast tissue, but this bra seems to keep it in place. The wires are quite wide, I probably have about an inch of extra fabric that my breast tissue doesn't even reach. I don't see this as a big deal (as of right now) they aren't uncomfortable and they don't dig in unless you wear them for 6+ hours. Now, I ordered a 32 band, but it stretches to nearly 37in, this is pretty good for me because I'm making the transition from 32 to 34 so it's ... really comfy. But, I suggest going down a bandsize, the stretch can be a bit much.

Sadly, I can't completely fill out the top of the cup. The lace wrinkles a bit, but the top seem cuts into breast tissue (how does that work?!). I will most likely be altering the lace applique when I find the time. This gives great support and lift, the cups aren't very round, but they have a lovely natural shape. I'll be keeping this bra.

This is a good, basic bra IF you aren't full on top. I don't find anything "balconette" about the shape; it's full coverage on me and comes up awfully high into the front of my underarms - but I am short.
The straps (as others have adequately noted) are pretty ugly but they are comfy. I find the 32H (red) a slightly better fit than the 34GG (black), which would indicate that it runs large in the band, but there is a little wrinkling at the bottom of the cup. I could not size down, though, because the cups would definitely cut into my upper breast ... fullness. I can just squeak by with the H as it is.
The shape is "fine" if you don't mind a little minimising. Nothing to write home about, but again, it's a basic. The seaming & lace trim along the top are nice & flat under clothing.
I would prefer it to be lined to prevent show-through, but I do appreciate the 3 hooks.
An additional note after wearing a few times: this bra has a break-in period. I've worn them a handful of times each, and they have been a little more comfy each time - particularly at the front of my armpits where they were most problematic in the beginning.
Final assessment: I'll keep it & I'll wear it regularly, but I wouldn't buy it again. It would be a great bra for someone taller or with a longer torso who had some migration to tackle.

Super cute print & trim coloration. Doesn't cover half my chest like Freya's balconettes in the larger cup sizes do. Adorable matching thong.
Outside of cup (width of underwire) is a little wider than necessary, but not as much as the Deco or the Antoinette. Sheer upper section is well-balanced & sexy - again unlike the ruination they make of their larger-cup balconettes.
Cup inner edge a little loose on my smaller side, but not bad. A suggestion of puckering at the apex, but I certainly couldn't size down with my upper fullness; it would cut in on top.
Band fits great, probably runs a trifle large. I do have ... concerns about the sturdiness of the band. It isn't reinforced from the wings to hook, and I wear my bands TIGHT so I doubt it will hold up as long as a less sheer fabric - so I'm downgrading the quality from Excellent to Good.
No issues with the straps on my 5'3" torso & it doesn't cut into my arms in the front (again, like the Deco or the Antoinette). Shape is a bit pointy, but nothing objectionable.
Reasonably discreet under most clothing.
It's a keeper & I'll be looking for similar styles https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Okay, I fudged the measurements a tiny bit on this one. It's juuust a hair too small for my larger boob, but it's so close I'm calling it okay. Totally gorgeous bra with great uplift and excellent shaping--my very soft, pendulous tits are way happy in this thing. It pulls them front and center, which is great, although not quiiite as high up as I'd like. The shape is fairly natural and softened--I'd prefer a little more forward projection, but not so much that I'm going to send it back.

The lace doesn't chafe or itch, which is great, but the bra comes up too high where the cup meets the strap under the arm. That part rubs and by the end of the day I want to tear the bra off.

Still, it's gorgeous and the fit is mostly good, so I'm keeping it.

This bra fits me well, but the shape is all wrong--it gives me a downward-pointing droopy SHAPE despite the excellent LIFT and SUPPORT of the bra. I think the cups are too deep for me--if I grab the cup and hoist it up, closer to my body, I get a more front & center look. The wings run too high under my arms too. Shame--it's a gorgeous bra.

I am in love with this bra. It's a cup size too small for me, but I will find a 32 HH post-haste! It's totally beautiful, with a pretty floral pattern and contrasting green lace, and the construction is sturdy as all get-out. It pulls me way front and center, with awesome lift--my soft, bottom-heavy, pendulous breasts are in heaven!
