First off, I really like the material this bra is made from. It feels very nice to the touch and has an interesting texture without being scratchy or uncomfortable.
The straps of the bra are fully adjustable, which is always a bonus for me. I don't really like straps that only adjust on part of the strap. They also slide smoothly while adjusting, but don't move once in place.
The cups give my breasts nice lift and shape without coming all the way up to my neck. It doesn't show under lower cut tops like some bras would.
The band feels nice and firm, ...but not overly so. Very comfortable.
The gore is a bit wider than other bras I've tried. The gore doesn't quite tack against my sternum since my breasts are set quite close together (about a finger's width). It isn't really a big issue, but something I thought was worth pointing out. The bra still fits nicely regardless, and if I push the gore against my sternum, there is no quadboob.
Not really important, but the closure for this bra is 2 clasps per. I haven't found many bras in my size that have less than 3.
Overall, this is a very nice bra, and I would recommend trying it out. Read more 109 more words
This was suggested on ABTF. The cup is far too tall for me and the top is really empty. It's also way too wide, the wire came almost around the back. The gore is really really tall as well but it tacked, which most of my bras right now do not.
I like this bra. I have a constant problem of finding bras where the cup is deep enough but the underwire isn't too wide and tall. I used to constantly have to alter my underwire (ie bend the crap out of it, remove it, slide out and trim it, etc). The freya underwire is much more narrow and not as tall. I in no way have to alter the wire, its perfect as it is. the cup is a little shorter than what I used to normally wear. I will say I liked the Freya Firecracker a bit better. The straps aren't quite a comfortable. and the top of the cup just makes me feel like it might slip as i am bending down, crawling under desks while I run wiring etc. it doesn't actually slip, so I wear this bra fine, just not quite as confident in its ability for something not to shift/slip.
I think this bra was trying to kill me! This band must run small, I'm not sure. It was very tight and the underwire was painful under the breasts and all along the sternum. I think that the band was so tight it was pulling the wires very wide at the side and making them dig in more than usual. I did have some wrinkling and gaping at the top of cup that was tolerable, but the horizontal seam was tight enough to cut into my tissue with the lace not smoothing that enough. The blue color was not my favorite. But overall the bra actually looked quite ...nice. It's jut not wearable lol. The center gore width is very narrow. But, something very strange was happening with the wires as I mentioned above. The inner wires kept folding so that one of the wires was between my breast and the second wire would fold perpendicularly and sit on the side of my breast. It was very strange and I have never had this happen. I am returning this one. Read more 72 more words
This did not have enough immediate projection for me. There was a lot of wrinkling at the bottom and it kept sliding down, as my breasts were looking for more forward room, which led to quad-ing in the top. This would work better for more shallow breasts, that work in a more closed top fit, too.

I like this bra, except that the center gore definitely does not sit flat on the chest - it pokes out a lot. So much that I can show even when wearing clothes. Apart from that, good support and nice, wide straps.
This is a cute bra, though it feels much more "lightweight" than Panache bras do, and the wires are much more flexible. The straps adjust to infinity, which was pretty great, and I actually noticed how snug the hooks looked in back, which is always a good thing. The overall comfort was quite reasonable. My first experience with Freya, it seems like a cute and quality brand.
But... this bra did not fit me, AT ALL. The gore did not tack in the least, so the pointy shape I quite was looking forward to ended up pointing outward instead of forward. The cups were comically ...too small. I measure at roughly 36J. I was advised by another user to try ordering bras in a band size too large with smaller cups, in order to find narrow-width cups that would fit without ordering Polish bras. However, I feel this endeavor is amounting to be a fool's errand, after having tried several bras.
I don't know that I would buy this bra in a larger size, given how flexible the wires are. If your breasts are not heavy, though, you might really enjoy this bra! It does appear to give a soft, moderately pointy shape (which I liked, as my breasts are naturally kind of pointy and narrow). The fabric is cute, and it is quite pink! The quality is reasonably good, a bit more delicate than Panache, but for some that's a good thing. Despite being rather squished, I wasn't in any pain, so that probably speaks well for the usual comfort level of these bras. Read more 159 more words
