Jeneregretterien

This bra is made out of a nice, soft, supportive material that isn't too heavyweight and hasn't got as much padding as a normal moulded bra, yet supports like one. I find @Fantasie are quite generous in their sizes compared to other brands available in the UK, but I don't think it's too loose or big on me. The nude colour is great for UK complexions because it's not in 'orange' or 'tanorexic' like a lot of other nude bras. It's lighter and has a vintage or retro feels to it because of the accompanying briefs. The shape and style isn't anything fancy or exciting, but is smooth ... and comfy for everyday wear.

It's definitely one of the more pricey bras. I got it for £38, which is the most I've ever spent on a bra. For me this isn't an issue because I'd rather buy a well-fitting bra than a cheap bra. The quality is superior to a normal department store model and so I expect it to last longer.

My only personal quibble is that I've worn moulded cups all my life (generally because I've always worn the wrong size) and don't like unpadded ones because they tend to show cold nipples easily. The same thing happens with this bra so I make sure to wear it on warm days or under several layers.

All things considered, this is a great bra.

The first 2 times I tried this on it felt very tight but on the third try it seemed to have softened up a bit and felt ok. The hooks at the back are fairly close together for a fuller bust bra and I felt like I could have done with them spaced out a bit, or to have 3 close together instead.

I bought this bra used but in good condition so it's either stretched out quickly by the previous owner or it's a wide band because I've got on the tightest setting already. The cups also come up small but this is hard to see on the (grainy) photos because the ruffles hide it. The bra itself gives great uplift and a nice shape but it couldn't be worn under a t-shirt as the ruffles on the top would show through. I bought this on the cheap to try it out but unfortunately, balcony bras do not suit me at all as the wires come up too high and dig into my sternum. It would look lovely on someone who actually suited this shape.

I love the colour and wide straps of this bra and is probably the most effective plunge I own for creating cleavage as many other bras leave them looking off in two different directions. The pinstripe effect makes the colour of the bra a little less like just a greyish, washed-out blue, which I might have done if it was just one colour.

The padding is quite stiff and is probably slightly thicker than the usualy lightly padded fuller cup bras you find. This may be a negative for some ladies, but for me it's a positive since I was wearing padded bras constantly when I was in the ... wrong size and am not particularly keen on non-padded bras. Since my bust isn't particularly big this is not a problem for me, but it may be a bit too much for others. As already mentioned, this bra gives the best cleavage I've ever had, and because it's moulded it conceals the fact that one side is bigger than the other. Naturally, there is a little bit of gaping at the top of the cup in my smaller side but this isn't because of the bra.

I love that the straps are fully adjustable because my shoulders tend to slope and half-adjustable straps are pretty useless. However, since my shoulders are narrow and sloping, I find that the straps would be better just a fraction less wide-set. It's not a problem but it would have been nice.

The back itself is nice and firm and I haven't stretched it yet as it's new so feels quite firm at the moment. As this is my first Freya purchase I don't know how to grade the quality against other Freyas but my overall opinion is that it's a well-made bra.
