I'm super pleased with this, frankly -- I have such mixed luck with bras that I was nervous about going into my first bra-in-a-swimsuit. Plus, I'd never actually worn a Freya bra before, so there were many new things happening here.
TL;DR: the minor fit issues I had feel like quibbles to me. I felt great in the swimsuit, which was my main goal. It was a bit snug in my mom-shaped midsection, but that's just life.
The band is too loose on me, so the halter part puts a bit more pressure on the back of my neck than I'd like, especially if I tie it too tightly. ... (I did the first time I tied it, then loosened it before actually swimming.) I'm a bit full-on-top, and I occasionally had minor cutting in at the top that varied depending on what I was doing. The gore is so close to tacking that I actually frowned when it didn't.
I did learn that I should look into more Freya bras because I loved the shape of it, and my nipples fell into a place where I prefer them. (I have very soft, pendulous breasts -- they can really end up pointing anywhere in a bra, which often bums me out.) That said, there is no padding in this swimsuit. The whole universe could see my nipples.
