I am surprised this bra fit! I typically don't have good luck with this style, but it gave me a nice, round shape while containing all of my breast tissue: no side boob and no quad boob! As a bonus, it's really cute and feminine, not at all like the "Big Bertha" bras I normally have to purchase. Because of this, I'm eager to try other things in the Curvy Kate line.

I do think the band is rather stretchy on this bras, though. I was worried about the 34 being a wee bit too tight since my actual ribcage measurement is a hair over 34", but this fits like a dream on the biggest hook position, leaving me plenty of room to bring it in as it stretches from wear.

Overall, this is a winner for me right now.

I normally have good luck with Cleo padded Balconette bras, but this particular cut seems to have a much stretchier band and a slightly deeper cup than other similar Cleo bras in a 36G. I am usually a 34G or 36FF in other bras but generally require a 36G in @Panache and @Cleo bras because they have firm bands and seem to have smaller cups. I fasten this bra on the tightest hook for it to be snug enough and not ride up, which means I won't get a lot of life out of this bra, but it IS super cute and works well with my slightly fuller-on-top breasts.

This bikini top fits nicely in one cup size larger than normal, though I do find the band to be just a tad bit tighter than Freya 34G bras. However, this does help keep the top in place once it gets wet because the band loosens once that happens. I'm not impressed with the flimsy plastic clip on the back to fasten the top and wish Freya would figure out a more substantial mechanism for their bikini tops, but I'm overall pleased with the bikini top. Overall, this gives a nice uplifted and round profile for me, which is great!

I think I've kind of fallen in love with Freya's longline bras. First of all, the wide 6-row, 2-column band on the longline is SUPER comfortable and supportive for my heavy, pendulous, slightly-full-on-top breasts. Second, it gives a beautiful rounded and uplifted profile for me, which is what I prefer more than the pointed, super-forward projection in some other bras. This particular longline is my favorite so far because the coral with white polka dots is beautiful and coral is one of the colors that looks great on me. When I am wearing this bra and the matching underwear, I feel like I'm having a great ... bra/boob day!

Generally, I wear a 34G in most Freya bras, but I have found the sizing in the Patsy line of padded half-cups and longlines to be hit or miss. This 36FF fits pretty well, which surprised me. I only ordered it because it was on clearance and they didn't have my normal sizes in this Patsy longline. I thought it MIGHT be too shallow, but it wasn't.

I can wear a 34G regular padded half-cup in the Patsy padded half-cup black colorway but needed a 34GG and/or 36G in the turquoise colorway. If you're going to consider the Patsy, order your "normal" Freya size plus one cup size bigger than normal to see what fits you best. I find the band to be particularly stretchy with this bra, so a smaller band might work better for some of you. I'm solidly between a 34 and 36, so either band works pretty well for me with sister sizes in the cups.

The cups in this bra have a strange shape, almost square-ish, as two other reviewers also noted. And while I seem to have FOT breasts and tend to have problems with full cup bras, it seems I don't quite fill this bra in the cups where they meet the gore, giving a very odd little gap/pucker. The rest of the cup seems to fit okay, and the band is on the firm side, which I like. Overall, I would not recommend this for FOT or evenly full (FOT & FOB) breasts. It is rather pretty though, especially the coral color.
