Great turquoise color.

Fairly good projection- not quite polish projection, but pretty good. Nice uplifted and round shape.

Just not right for me. I am fuller in bottom so I do better in Lucy cuts by Cleo. The bottom fits but the lace at the top gapes a bit, especially my smaller side. Not quite projected enough for me (but what is?) so wrinkles at bottom of cup. My hubby says my asymmetry is more pronounced in the Marcie as well.

Lovely cakes on a plate cleavage bra. Not really a nude color, but fairly neutral. Padded bra.
I love the expensive feel of polish brands. This 85 band seemed tight to me- I needed an extender. (I am usually ok in most 34 bands, I would put this one between a 32 and a 34, compared to an onyx I had at the same time where the 75 was like a Cleo 34.
Unfortunately, the wrong band size for me, as the cups were quite perfect. And wow these cups were comfy- don't know if it was the fabric or shape, but just aahhhhhhh comfy.

Such a sexy bra. But it didn't fit me. I didn't expect it to, but wanted to try.

Great projection. Has side support and 3 hooks.
Not see thru on the bottom like in smaller cup sizes- it's more of an opaque mesh with sheer mesh and light pink detailing on the top.

I will look for this in a different size.

This bra is definitely for gals who are full on bottom. It wouldn't work sat all if you are fairly full on top in shape. I really liked the smooth line of the cups/upper lace. Very nice and rounded shape. Cute purple.

The bra looks pretty good for immediate projection, but not as much as ewa michalak or freya Arabella. Onmy shape it does get forced down some over the day- I need more room central by the gore as my boobs are very close set.

This bra feels great initially. But for some reason over the course of the day it gets quite pinchy at ... the top of the underwire under my arms...the width and height of the underwires aren't very different from other bras I find comfy, so I don't know why that is. But it does bug. Maybe I should sister size to the 36g and see if that affects the fit.

Interestingly, I have the cleo Bonnie in the same size. It's supposed to be the same cut, but its fabric us more roomy at the top lace, more stretchy in the band, and does not pinch me at all in the armpits.

Comfy. Cute. Lightweight...would be nice in the summer.

Close to enough projection for me it not quite, rides down on me. But comfy enough to stay in the daily rotation. I love Freya's fully adjustable straps because I am high set. The gore is fairly narrow all the way down (compared to Cleo which runs narrow up top but spreads too much near the band for me). I really like the Freya I padded bras I have tried so far.

About the GG changes freya makes: straps are a bit wider. They go to 3 hook bras (awesome). There is boning just outside of the cup ... under the armpit for slimming and to keep breast migrating to where it belongs (in my 36g morning meadow, the same side seam is there but with no boning). The wires measure narrower than their g and below counterparts. But they do stretch more when worn, and it seems they are designed too (not just a flimsy wire problem). For me this is good- bras that's cups go vertical at the outer wire (steep U) cause me pinchy armpit pain, while those that taper up and out more slowly don't hurt me. These look super U shaped on the hanger, but have a nice shape when on.

Ok. I was scared to size down this much but I guessed right. My normal size is a 36g. I tried a freya active in the sister size 38ff, and it was huge huge on my shape. Band was ok though...

Fast forward: found a 38E on ebay for $15 NWT so tried. Fits much better!
(Think I am getting reverse letterophobia .... I don't like the sound of 38E nearly as much as 36g or 34gg)

Freya Active Underwired gives a fairly pointed shape, but I don't mind because it gives good support. The gore does not tack on me, but 2 sizes up didn't tack either. I am ... close set (like- only 1 underwire fits between), and this bra is looking for boobs with more separation. The wires run much wider than the normal freya wires, which is another reason I needed to size down. Encapsulation type bras push both up on the breast from below and down on the bra from above, so if you are very full on bottom or pancake shaped, you might want to size down too. Band seems tight enough sizing UP to me. Not stretchy like normal Freya.

Cons: don't love the nude color, the black is way cuter. But I suppose it could do double duty as a regular bra.
I wish the straps were shorter or more adjustable. I am high set and I can tell I would get even more support if the straps were more snug.

Lovely plunge.

It is just too small in the cup for me. (Need 1-2 cup sizes bigger, but it was cheap and I was still in denial that I could be a UK G). In the right size I think it may still lack Lowe projection that I need. But nice cleavage. Also I quad out just in the center toward the gore, perhaps I need more inner lower projection. (This bra like many assumes filer in middle/toward sides, but I am fuller in the center toward gores).

Gore nearly tacks, which is pretty good for me (close set, FOB to even). Since cups a bit small, my boobs push the band down below infra mammary fold. I quad out the center a bit. In some positions the top of the cup gapes, and in some positions it cuts in, I think that is just due to the molded cup.

Pro: Very nice rounded shape, cleavage, and fully adjustable straps.

Better projection on me than Lucy/Marcie, but this bra wants more upper fullness than I have.

I sized down in the cup as recommended. That was a good call- the bottom section fits pretty well. But the lace section on top isn't even close, to much space for me.

Pretty bra with green striped fabric and embroidery details, top of cup is sheer. It fits me as well as I have had a bra fit so far. The gore tacks, but it also folds of on itself to make itself stack. I think this is because I am close set. So technically, one wire of the gore tacks.
The wires follow my shape fairly well. This bra sits loser to my inframammary fold than any I have found so far. That being said, it still sits a bit below my fold, maybe an inch or ... a bit less. Even if I try to situate it up there it never actually gets quite high enough. Not sure if I need more projection, or if I am too narrow so I force the gore down, or if it is just the weight of the bosom. In most bras I get a bit sore on the ribs where the wire angles up, and this is the case with the freyas, but this tends to get better as I get used to the bra. The red mark is definitely on a rib, not on beast tissue, so that is good, I think.
The details don't show under a tshirt, which I was nervous about with an unlined cup. Arerolas totally show through the mesh on top, I kind of thought they would fall under the fabric, but they sit up in the sheer area. Maybe just cause FOB or maybe that is the design plan.

What a cool sports bra.

Things I love: 4 hooks on band (x4 rows!). Great look. My favorite thing of all: there is a little J hook on the strap adjuster that converts to/from racerback!!! Love the idea of a racerback sports bra I can actually get over my boobs. And because the straps aren't fully adjustable like most freyas (due to wide comfy straps) it lets me compensate for too long of straps. (I am high set). Also, there is done sort of internal boob hammock in addition to the underwires... I think it is to keep breast up and away from ribcage/let the inframammary ... fold breathe to help with sweat? Nice and cool.

Unfortunately, this bra was too big in the cups for me. Which was a surprise- my 36g freya bras are small in the cup. I sister sizes up as I heard the band ran snug (and it does). But it seems like maybe 2 cup sizes too small? (So maybe I need a 38E? That can't be right...will poke around with sizing). Or possibly a 36F.
I think the size surprise might be because most of the cup volume is lateral in the bra, where most of my breast volume is very very central? There are major wrinkles sides of cup and some under. So I can't vouch for bounce-a-bility with this too big bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />.
