In the beginnings of my bra journey this bra fit wonderfully. After getting some tissue back where it belonged I have quadboob in this bra. I've also gained some weight so the longline band tends to roll. I really do love this pattern and I'm sad to see it go.

I really wanted to love this bra but the cups are too small and the band is too big. I feel like the bands in the Freya long lines must run big since all three of the models I have were too big even before I lost an inch off my underbust.

Too excited on the price in the Rack; didn't notice all the empty space on the sides. I really wish Nordstrom would sell the full ranges from Freya and Panache, instead of starting at 30E https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />. I never wanted to gain a cupsize so badly!

It's gorgeous though. Absolutely beautiful! I would love this in my size.

My overall impression about this bra is very good. The fit is ok since it's a very nice construction, my breast generally gets on easily with half-cups and vertical cuts.

The shape – is very rounded in profile, Ivy gives the impression that my breast are bigger than they are in reality.

The underwires – when I wear this bra, I feel like they were too wide. This impression is not confirmed by the measurements, the cup width is “standard” for this size and the underwires aren't particularly flexible. I guess that it's related to the straps' position and the distance between the strap and the underwire. In other words, ... the straps are too centred for me, I prefer the strap position like in EM bras.

The straps – very wide and comfortable like in all Freya bras, I find them very long too.

The band – I bought Ivy in 30E because it was the last size likely to fit me, usually I wear 28 bands in Freya. I also thought that such a large band would be too constrictive in 28F. I was very surprised when I first tried Ivy on. The band is not only long but also very stretchy, definitely too loose for me. I have to fasten it on the tightest hooks and it's still not stable enough. If I ever try an another Freya longline bra, it'll be in 28F. I'm also very disappointed by the fact that their other bras based on the same or similar cut start at 30 band. I'd love to try some other half-cups from this brand, but I would be obliged to alter the band.
The band is comfortable but it tends to ride up and the hooks are visible under the clothes.

The gores a tiny bit big for me but otherwise it fits really well. It's my consistent Freya sizing of 30E (I wear the same in the Deco and Taylor). Over all it's pretty great!

Pros: The longline band distributes pressure very well, and the cups feel supported by the band. Provides a sense of security and doesn't cut into the body. The straps are substantial (about 3/5" wide) and can be adjusted their entire length. The half-cup design provides some pretty impressive lift to each cup separately. Takes weight of the cups effectively enough to feel a positive difference in posture. The lining is substantial but thinner than moulded-cup padding.

In short, it is a comfortable bra, and also an astounding date-night bra.

Cons: Center wires come in too high to be worn with plunge-style clothing. Band has comfortable stretch, but it could be sturdier. Vertical seams may show up under thinner shirts. Will spoil you to longline band styles forever.

I purchased this at the same time as the 30E Carys longline bra, yet this one fits bigger in both the cups and band (confirmed by measurements). Though slight, the differences are just enough to make it too big for me, so I'm returning it. I simply don't fill out the cups.

See my reviews for the Carys longline and the Just Flew In longline for more info about this cut - pretty good for shallow shapes.
