The wires are too narrow for me. I have heard that this bra runs big, but I think that's because it has a bit more space at the top (ie good for full on top ladies). I've heard that Freya's wires in my current size often bend back from a tight band which can distort the fit... Nonetheless, I'd love to try this in my current size anyway. The straps are a little thick, but have a cute criss-cross design on them, and are stretchy and comfy! The band is tighter than a typical Freya, but it feels pretty nice.

I'm not really a fan of the print, but the materials and construction seem decent. Unfortunately, the cups are way too small, and the band is a bit loose. If the cups fit I could wear it to work and be just fine, but it wouldn't take long before the band becomes too loose for me. I'm now looking into 30HH bras.
I believe this bra would work for someone full on the bottom, because of the elastic edging at the top of the cup.

I tried this one in black before, in a too-small size. I like the bra overall so I decided to try again, in caramel and a cupsize up. This one is starting to suffer from wide-gore and wide-straps issues, but not *nearly* as bad as the Fantasie Kara bra I tried before this. It's not a perfect fit on me, but still seems quite wearable. I am considering just altering the gore to get the cups closer together, so it will tack.

The design is cute and the bra seems overall comfortable. However, the straps are thick which I know is a problem for a lot of ladies.

Got this one in Chocolate. I really love the style and I think it can suit my boobs well! The feel of the fabric is lovely and the lace is gorgeous! Sadly this one is the wrong size (still trying to find my correct one!). Underwires go back far enough on the sides that they seem to hold everything well there, but I have massive quadboob.. lol. I'm starting to bulge out of my 34F Deco too though it fit well the first week or so, so migration? I also feel that I could easily fasten it on the middle hook and probably go just fine on the tightest, so I'll be looking into bras with tighter bands and bigger cups.

For something that is way too big on me, it is scary how close it comes to fitting. The band is definitely firmer than your typical 38. The closest sister sizes to me are 32HH/30J... coincidentally, I'm looking into 30HH bras atm and have heard many people size up for Ewa's plunges. I may have to try getting this one (or similar) in my actual size.

Issues I had with this bra:
- the band is obviously too big for me
- the straps seemed a bit long
- when I stand straight, there's a perfect line. Lean back and quad a tiny bit. Lean forward at all and GAPE CITY.
- Maybe it's the padding but it just feels very bulky. I usually try on unpadded styles though.

I know the gaping problem is standard for padded/molded cups... the gaping at the top does bother me though. I'll have to think a bit more on if I'd prefer to go with a 32HH/30J or size down to 32H/30HH.

I originally got this bra thinking something like waffle = fishnets... Well, the pattern is definitely strange in person and not like fishnets at all, haha. I personally found it to be ridiculously tight, probably the first bra I got scared I wouldn't be able to close at all - but other measurements for this size have the band a bit looser, so maybe it stretches out quickly?

When I first put it on, it seemed to fit (although the bottom was wrinkly) but within seconds, there was quadboob, and oh it quadboobed HARD. Not sure if stretching it out will fix this but in general the top edge seems really tight, even for me. In general it seems typical of many Freya bras for me - wide straps, wide gore, meh shape, etc. The straps are fully adjustable though!

Not sure what to make of this one - with straps on, it's a snug almost quadbooby fit. Without them, the tops of the cups tilt open and it puts a lot of pressure on my back. In general I seem to need a 30H/HH, I would probably get the best fit for this bra in 30GG (especially since the size range ends there). By comparison, I don't find the Deco Plunge to run large (as others say), and I would argue that the strapless DOES run big in the cups... or at the very least, it's a taller cup. This bra is hard to put on for a front fastener, try hooking it in the back or having friend/mom/spouse do up the back. That being said, once on the shape under clothing is AWESOME.

This bra has a total of eight - EIGHT - strap attachment points, and two straps so there's a lot of versatality here. There's 4 hook/eye closures, so it's a little similar to a longline, which is pretty nice.

The stretch lace doesn't lay as flat on me as the Jasmine, but it still works great. The shape is good, maybe even better than on the Jasmine - for me, it is a mix of perky and round, mostly round. Jasmine is rounded on me too but slightly less lift and one side is just a hair pointy. Technically speaking, Jasmine fits better. Jasmine comes up a little higher in gore/cups so it masks the bigger boob's tendency to have a little quadboob at the gore (not enough to go up a size). I also filled out Jasmine's bottom better. On Envy one side has wrinkles on ... the bottom. BUT Jasmine is generally itchy and uncomfortable, Envy is much better. I frequently have uncomfortable pressure in my stomach coming from the part of the band just below the gore, in pretty much any bra. I frequently experience bras being tight and digging into my stomach in front, but being loose in the back and causing back pain! Maybe I have a rounded/high stomach? Anyway, Envy has a nice snugness to it, but the front is considerably more comfortable than pretty much all bras. I think there's some magic to the criss-cross elastic construction there.

I just got this bra and it's night so maybe in the morning my opinion will change, but the houndstooth pattern is really subtle.. like hard to see at all. If you look carefully, you can tell there is some kind of pattern.. and that's about it. I think it adds more depth than a solid fabric, but still acts as a simple basic at the same time.

For the most part, I'm quite happy with this bra! The pattern is cute, the stretch lace at the top makes for an easier fit, the underwire are fine on me, 3 hooks in back, etc. The underwires are not pressing or grating for me at all, although the gore is a bit high so this might be a bother for some. Cons for me would be the strap placement (they cut right into pectoral regions) and sometimes the band at the back can feel scratchy. The scratchiness might be corrected after a wash, since I know Panache often starches their bras heavily. Wore it to a long day at work and it worked out pretty well. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
