This was my first time trying on a 32FF after using the r/ABtF calculator. So far it's the best fitting bra I've tried on over the last month. I didn't buy it because I was sure about it and I don't like lace bras (sensory issues) but the lace is soft and stretchy, not stiff. I may try it again when Nordstrom isn't closing in 10 minutes.

For reference I've been wearing a 34DD Wacoal Smooth Sider and a Dream Tisha in a 36E. Both bands are a little too big, but their bands run tight afaik. The 34 Wacoal band is only a tiny bit too large ... on the smallest hooks, but the DD cups are hilariously small. The Dream Tisha band is too big on the smallest hooks and in general doesn't fit well, but I'm learning I'm the wrong shape for molded bras and am giving up on them.

You can see in photos that my right boob is at least a cup size smaller after two surgeries. I have an insert, but didn't have it the day I tried this 32FF Freya on. There are some wrinkles in the right cup especially at the top edge lace, but the left seems to fit okay. My nipple sits where the seams meet. Now that I'm looking at the side photo, I can't quite tell, but the bottom of the cup near the underwire may have a wrinkle. I can't tell if it's a shadow or not and I'm still confused about root width and if the the underwire is in my IMF correctly. I didn't know to look for that fit issue or to see if the underwire was sitting in my IMF. I'm not sure if the wires are wide enough. I have a lot of migrated soft tissue. I wish I'd had more idea of what to check for and which photos to take, like one from below might have helped.

I'm very full on bottom, inner full, projected, short root height, average root width or possibly a little wide. Boobs are soft, pendulous, and round. Separated by two finger widths.

I love this bra. The center gore doesn't dig in, or sit up too high, despite my very close together breasts. The outer wire is a touch too short, but the material still holds me in place and without any spillage. the light elastic at the top allows the cup to lay correctly on both breasts despite the difference in shape

SO this was the first Bra That Fit ("Fit") that I ever owned. Before, I had been wearing ill-fitting VS 34DDDs with gores floating, like, an inch off of my sternum that *still* gave me quadboob. So I have a special fondness for this bra as the first one I ever wore where the gore actually tacked close to my sternum, lol. I almost actually cried.

However. Several months later and a better understanding of what a good bra should feel like later, I have to conclude that this bra is *slightly* ill-fitting. The band is a little loose; the gore-- and let me just say that I prefer to have my gores very closely tacked-- floats off of my sternum by probably a quarter of an inch, I get a bit of weird wrinkling in the bottom of the cup, and when I stand up properly, I have a bit of quadboob even when the gore floats. So honestly, I probably would have better fit into a 30G. However! It's a lovely bra, and very comfortable.

This is one of my better fitting bras. I have high projection and it allows my breasts to sit out in front of me instead of being smooshed. Very pretty. Not super supportive but OK. I don't love the feeling of the lace but I'm not a lacey bra types of person. Overall seems to be pretty nice and high quality. pretty color too, which can be hard to find with a 32FF bra size.

This is my first experience with the Freya brand. There are a lot of things that work for me in this bra, but it is not quite right for me.

The good? The band easily stretches to 33" which is actually perfect for me as that is my snug underbust measurement (so 32" bands are often too tight, but 34" bands can be too loose). There is only one hook in the band. I thought that would be weird, but it feels fine and seems supportive enough.

The ok? The wires fit me reasonably well. They may be a little wider than I'd prefer, but they follow my inframammary ... fold fairly well. The gore tacks nicely and is comfortable. I think the cups have enough projection at the wire for me and I fill them fairly well, but this leads to the bad. The material is a little itchy/irritating, but I know that often resolves after washing/wearing a few times. I won't test that with this bra as I'm not keeping it.

The bad? The top of the cups don't fit me quite right. My larger breast quads in the cup a little. I don't think this would be a problem if the top of the cup was just stretch lace, but the strip of elastic digs in. I get some wrinkling where the lace meets the cup at the strap on both sides. I don't think this would show under a shirt, but it is still a little annoying. Finally, the seam placement allows my nipples to show through my shirt unless I ensure they are sitting behind the seam which isn't where they naturally fall. This may not be a problem for some people, but I'd prefer coverage in that area.

Overall, this is a bra that is almost, but not quite right for me. I won't be keeping it, but I will consider other Freya offerings and may even revisit this bra again in the future.

I'm not sure why this bra doesn't fit, but I know it doesn't! I'm asking for fitting help to figure it out, but it looks like the band and/or the cups are too small.

Excellent fit, gives a great rounded and uplifted shape, much better than many other Freya balconette bras which give me slightly pointy boobs instead of the round look I like. The lace is firm, slightly itchy right now but I think some wear and a wash will help that. The top of the cup has a stretchy band so it's firm but it doesn't cut in. The back only has one row of hooks, but it's very stable nonetheless. It's a very pretty and sexy bra, while also quite practical.
