likeThese two bras are a bit different in how they fit. The Cleo bra has a standard fit, really nothing special about it. The Freya bra gives amazing cleavage, and this is reflected in the cup measurements. The Freya bra has shallower cups and the wires, though shorter than the Cleo bra, are angled up in such a way as to create pushup shaping without the use of padding. Also, something not reflected in the measurements is the strap placement; straps are slightly farther apart in back on the Freya bra. You must get a very snug band to keep the straps from slipping off your shoulders -- and that shouldn't be a problem since that is how a bra band should fit anyway!
