This bra and my teal Curvy Kate Angel were part of my first shipment from BraStop.

I am still trying to figure out my Freya size, and this is not it. The cups are very clearly too small, cutting into my breasts along the top, and dragging them down into a weird pointed-down shape. The band seems to be similar to my other Freya bra, maybe slightly smaller (although this may be due to the fact that my other bra is slightly stretched already), and I think I need the next band down in Freya.

I am not a huge fan of the appearance of this bra. The color ... combination does not strike me as particularly attractive - something about the nice, toned down grey stripes paired with bright pink embroidery turns me off. I also don't really like the embroidery on the sheer upper part of the cup, which appears to be a series of pink hearts with long trailing ribbons below them. To me they look rather like a row of pink octopuses! There is also a tiny, silly, sparkly plastic heart sewn onto the bow at the center gore.

I know this review seems pretty negative so far, but there's nothing really wrong with this bra - I just don't particularly like the way it looks. Now, the one thing I really do like about this bra is the straps, which are a creamy off-white color with little decorative loops along the edges, and plushly padded. They seem like they would be really comfy in the long term.

To sum up, this is a nice quality bra with soft, comfy straps and some silly embroidery. I don't plan on re-ordering this bra in a different size, however I will use what I learned from this bra as far as sizing to find a seamed Freya bra that better suits my visual tastes.
