Wow! I can see why so many people love this bra! I wear a 38 band in most brands, but upon recommendations I got a 36. It fits perfectly. I'd normally wear a 38H, so the sister size would be 36HH. But, this was on clearance, so I had to try the 36H. It's pretty much a great fit. I get the tiniest bit of cutting in when I really, really try to expand my ribcage, but normally the cups fit fine.

I can't believe how comfortable this bra. Even before I put it on it felt so smooth and soft. It feels the same on. I get ... the tiniest bit of scratchiness on the straps, but I bet that will go away over time.

Since the cup is made of one layer of mesh covered by a layer of lace, the mesh fits fine but there is a little wrinkling in the lace. It doesn't affect the fit, only the appearance. But the lace is so soft that I doubt it would show under clothes.

The only bad part is that the center gore doesn't sit 100% flat on my sternum. The top pulls away a little. Since the fit is so great everywhere else, I can live with it. I have never found a Freya bra that lies completely flat, but this is definitely the best, and it's really such a minor issue.

I'm not sure how much I like this bra. It's definitely cute, but it seems a little too flimsy for larger busts. It definitely has too small a cup size, but I'm not sure how much support I'd get evenin the right size.

The center gore does not sit flat and there is definite quad boob. The mesh cups are fairly stretchy, but the trim at the top of the cups is not stretchy, so I think cutting-in will be a problem for a lot of people. There is some strange wrinkling/stretching in the band fabric between the underwire and the side boning. The band isn't even stretched that tight, I think the fabric is just too stretchy for my liking.

This bra is just not for me. It feels too skimpy. I prefer to feel more strapped in and supported. I think it would be better for someone who doesn't have heavy boobs, so they don't worry about it getting too stretched out.

For such an off-size, the fit was not too bad. I bought this for an event before I knew my true size (38H or HH UK, so 38K or L in US). It fits fairly well on my smaller boob (I didn't do much scooping though), but I get a ton of cutting-in on my larger side. The bra itself does not give enough support for my boobs, which makes sense. It's molded, so the shape is fairly consistent and round. The band is strong enough and supportive with 4 hooks. The fabric is smooth and soft. This would be a great bra if I could get it in my size!

Well, a wireless bra is a wireless bra. I am waiting for the day someone makes a soft cup bra that doesn't mash the boobs together. I hate boobshelf! This bra does a decent job of not being a continuous shelf of boob, by defining the space in between the boobs, but the center is far from resting on my chest.

The bra is very pretty though and the fabric feels strong and supportive. It looks very vintage with the salmon with cream polka dots and lace. Which I guess makes it appropriate to give a vintage pointy, upfront shape! This bra gives good support and fits me well. The cup is very full coverage and the lift is good. I think this would be a great sleep bra, or even a very light duty sports bra for me.

For a wireless bra, it's pretty good.

This was the first Freya bra I've bought, and it was on sale. Although I wear a 38H/HH in Elomi, Curvy Kate, and Panache, this was a poor fit. Although I understand many Freya bras, especially this one, have stretchy bands. I sent this one back to exchange for a 36J since the cup seemed a bit small, too. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures before I sent it back.

I love how it looks. The purple floral and green trim is unusual, which is why I bought it. I much prefer a small amount of lace trim to an entire lace top section of a cup. Since it was ... too small in the cup, I got some quad boob. The band was much too big and stretchy, even on the tightest hook. The center gore didn't lie completely flat. It was against my sternum, but one underwire sort of twisted. The same thing happened in the Freya Tabitha I also bought, but it fit everywhere else and wasn't uncomfortable, so I guess I just must to have the right body for Freya.

I have to say, I think this design/fabric/pattern might be my favorite bra ever. Too bad it won't fit me.

This bra only goes up to a GG cup and I'm an H or HH. Freya bands tend to be loose on me so I size down, but that means there's no way I could fit into this cup. The 36 band is pretty snug on me, but I can fasten it. There is definite quad-boob along the top. Pretty much to be expected on a bra that is a few cup sizes too small.

The band seems fairly stretchy, such that it would get stretched out pretty easily. The fabric, although adorable, doesn't seem very sturdy. The center gore pretty much sits flat on my chest. This bra seems like a pretty average bra in most ways, so maybe if I ever get down to this size it would work!

I ordered 4 CK bras, my first ones, in different sizes, from zulily. This one was so gorgeous that I wanted it to fit, and it did! This is my first time successfully wearing a balconette. I usually get the quad-boob effect and thought that meant I couldn't wear that style, not that it was the wrong size.

The center gore sits so nicely on my ribcage. The width seems nicely suited to my boobs. This cup size fits my bigger boob fine, but the smaller one has a little wrinkling. The band sits nice and straight all the way around.

It gives decent shape. Nice lift and support, but not as round as I'd like.

Unfortunately I don't really have a chance to see how it feels over time. I'm currently nursing my 3rd baby and wear nursing bras.

I first tried the Ellie in a 38H, which is my normal size in many bras, but it was too loose in the band and too small in the cup. So I returned it for a 36J. The band was fine now, but the cups are now a little big. There is some wrinkling in the cup.

This bra is so cute, with purple floral and green lace. I love how it looks. Too bad I don't think Freya bras work for my shape. The center gore is against my sternum, but the wires are sort of squished together and don't lie flat. This has happened in other Freya ... bras when otherwise the fit seems fine.

The Ellie gave me a weird shape. My larger boob looks ok, but a little pointy. But my smaller boob doesn't fill out the cup enough and it looks weird. I don't even know how to explain it, but I have uploaded pics. From the side, it's as though the top of the cup is a straight line towards the peak and the rest of the bra curves up to meet it. Which is weird because I have full on top boobs. I think it's just way too big!
