Always a fan of my Freya bras. Sturdy but cute and colourful. Strong enough to manage a day with lots of physical activity - no slippage!

I am soft, short rooted, center full, pendulous, projected and narrowish. This bra was probably a cup size too big for me.

On first glance this is a good looking bra. All lace on the cups, gore and a little on the band, where it then has a supporting seam that leads into a smoother soft band to the hooks. Really cute yellow pinstripe bows on the gore and where the strap meets the cup.

The straps on this bra are long and a full inch wide, and also fully adjustable all the way. Elastic coated on the bottom of the strap and and cute pillow pattern embroidered ... in the top. Where the strap meets the band in the back isn't a ring but a double loop keeper.

The gore was typically as tall as it should be for a balconette, but it is wide at a full inch, and I'd need to alter it if I was going to keep it. I have a solid two fingers of space all the way down to the bottom of the band in the gore area. Pushing the gore in, I get quadding and cutting in along the top of the cup.

The cups on this bra were tall. I had about 3 fingers worth of space where the cup meets the strap. I also get a pointy look in this bra, but I think that's because the cup is too big/wrong shape on me. Because the gore is wide it's pushing my breasts out to the sides, the sides are bringing it in and compressing the tissue into a non rounded side and I get a very pointy shape. When I pull the strap down, I get a rounder shape along the sides.

Soft wires and stretchy band as per usual for Freya GG+.

This bra has a great, firm bra band and firm cups. Gives a great shape, although not smooth. The gore does not lay completely flat on me but it is very rare for me to find one that does this as my boobs start quite close together

I have close set, full in the middle boobs, this bra gives a weird shape, pulled too far apart in the middle but still forward and up front. looks good from the side but not so hot from the top

I should probably have ordered my Cleo size and not my Bravissimo size so this is too big and will be returned. I usually wear lace and don't do stripes so this was not a hit stylewise but I am trying different things and so was worth it. This style gives me the best Freya shape I have found. Such a shame that at my awful Leia fitting at the weekend where I particularly mentioned Freya and balcony / plunge this one was not brought as the fitter was trying to get me into Fantasie and was pushing for sales.

Oh, Freya, I think I'm in love. The wires, they don't jab me! This is my first Freya bra. The band is too big, and the cups too small, but it's still my favourite of the bras I currently own.

Such a sexy bra. But it didn't fit me. I didn't expect it to, but wanted to try.

Great projection. Has side support and 3 hooks.
Not see thru on the bottom like in smaller cup sizes- it's more of an opaque mesh with sheer mesh and light pink detailing on the top.

I will look for this in a different size.

Another Freya that I can't wear. I'm crushed because this bra is so comfortable and the shape is round and amazing. Unfortunately it is just cut too wide and shallow for me. I can fit into Freya's balconettes in a 34H ( I don't currently own any. I don't like the shape Freyas give). But this bra in a 34H is just too small. I would need at least a HH but the bra stops at H https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. The gore doesn't tack at all and is at least an inch away from my body. Despite it being small I can tell how ... glorious the shape is. I would say the band is typical Freya and you might want to size down if you are in between sizes. Hopefully Freya will expand the size in this and hopefully the cups will get deeper and not just wider. It's bad enough that H+ is sized out of Deco, but now we are sized out of another round shape. If you are an H cup this probably won't fit. This bra is for GG and under.

I want to love this bra. I really do, and while everything fits, it just looks saggy on me. There's no perky-ness. I feel in order for it to look like I want it too I would really have to tighten the straps and I'm really not going for that idea.

Love the patter of this bra. I have been noticing that Freya run large in the band, so I ordered the sister size, 34H. The band fits comfortably, but there is extra material at he top of my small breast. And the gore doesn't sit flat either. I'm thinking it's more of a shape issue than anything else.

This bra is so pretty and cute. I love the ballet pink with the taupeish polka dots. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. The cup runs small. My best fitting bra is the Panache Jasmine in a 34H. The center gore does not tack at all on this. There is about an inch of space. It's definitely a wide and shallow bra. The wires don't go too far back though. I just need more depth in the cup but H is as high as they go. I've been on the hunt for an H+ padded bra but everything I've tried just doesn't work. It's very frustrating. Why can't they take the cut of the Jasmine and make it padded. My last hope is the Parfait Charlotte in 34HH which should be arriving any day. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Well, trying on this bra made me wonder why I ever left the freya brand after pregnancy. (It was because of price, btw)Very comfy fit for my narrow, deep breasts. I am in between 32 and 34 band sizes and this fits pretty comfy. I did recieve this used and not new from listings here. The only thing is that I dont fill the cup on the bottom, so there is extra fabric, the top of the cup fits pretty nicely. I suspect I would be a 34 gg in freya, however this style would probably give me quad boob on my full on top boobs, if I go down a cup. So if you know your normal Freya size and are full on top, like me, you may want to go up a cup size.

First impression: I have to wear with extender, but only 1/2-inch to 1-inch extra. Wire fits, is very sturdy. Cup kinda-sorta fits in bottom, but not really; it's too snug. Apex is WAY too high. Straps too far apart. Center gore okay for the 1st hour, but then OUCH! If I could gather in the top and move the strap over about 2", that might work, but I have to take out volume across the top of the bra. Oh, that and the whole issue with the center gore digging into my sternum. It is so high on me.

I haven't tried it on recently, but there may be migration, so it may not waffle as much on the top as when I got it. Problem is, if there is migration, the bottom half with its higher-set apex angle will be too small and the center gore will still KILL my sternum. Maybe keep if I lose a little weight and figure out how to alter?

Such an adorable print on this bra, but was not meant to be for my low boobs/wide root situation. As you can see it gave me mega cone boobs, and I don't think switching sizes would have helped. I probably cannot wear Freya as I've recently learned more about having a long torso and low set boobs, so I am going to try Elomi/Panache/Goddess.

strap on tightest hook is loose. cups have some wrinkles. not very supportive

Updated on Jan 24, 2013 Flag this

I got this bra once I realized I definitely needed to downsize my band from the 36G's I was wearing, however, this one was still far too large (I immediately fastened the hook on the tightest hook, and could still pull it 4-5" away from my body). I found this band to be looser than some of my current 36G's.

The cups on this were not big enough for me - when I initially put the bra on (pre-scoop&swoop) the center gore was flat against my chest, however post S&S, I could place 2 fingers between the gore and my chest. I'm going to be trying a 32HH/J next...hopefully that will fit better!

Overall, the bra itself was quite nice -the fabric, was soft and silky and it was comfortable - no wires poking where they shouldn't!

This bra gives a great uplifted and round shape. There's a little wrinkling along the top seams on me, but it's not noticeable under clothing.

I really like the fabric of this bra. It's very soft and comfortable. I do think the band is a bit looser than other Freyas so you might want to size down in the band.

I have this bra in the noir color. It is black with red embroidery. I have the Freya Arabella in a 32HH and I prefer the Arabella. That shape is a little pointier in the Lyla but that could be due to the different sizes. I think I could probably do a 32HH in this bra too. I think Freya bands run a little big in general. This bra will be for sale on ebay in the near future. I just wasn't that impressed with the looks to get another size. I'm more into bright colors. Also I'm not that thrilled with the shape I get in most Freyas. I'm currently exploring the Panache Cleo range because they produce a rounder look.
