I was pleasantly surprised by this bra! The fit is a lot better than most of the newer Freya unlined plunges. This is really similar to the Freya Jolie Plunge Balcony (4101) bra but the side wings feel a touch higher on this bra, which works better for me. It is narrow and projected which is nice to find in this size. Also, I love the striped straps!

I marked the comfort as poor because of the underwires. Holy hell did they hurt. They stabbed me at the tops of the gore and both outer edges. I bent them so the tops were angled away from my ... body but thy still hurt.

However! I altered this bra a lot after I took pictures and measurements. I narrowed the gore so it overlaps at the top, and I removed the underwires and replaced them with different ones from an old bra. I knew that hoarding old bras would come in handy. I also left the center bow off. The charm in the middle of the bow was sparkly and too juvenile. I'm looking for something to replace it with.

For now I'm wearing this on the tightest hooks and it feels secure. I'll probably have to take in the band at some point.

With a bit of crafting I have turned this into a comfortable and supportive bra.

I have been eyeing this Freya pattern so happily snapped it up when it became available through Bratabase. I have a number of similar styles in the same size so the bra is a good fit. While Bratabase categorizes this bra as not fitting, I have a standard alteration of adding a cup liner to make it fit well. I can patch the previous gore repair with a bow and it should be good to go. Pleased to give it a good home!

I bought this when I still thought a D cup would be necessarily "big" enough & because of the super cute Sophia - style.
Fail ...
