This is the only bra I have right now that "fits". Since I am new to proper fitting bras,I'm still uncertain if it's actually the most correct fit but it works for me. Both breasts fit fine after swoop n scoop,although since the right one is so much smaller there is a slight but very unnoticeable gap in the top of the cup. When I got the bra it was almost unbearable to wear because the band was so tight,but being new to this I though "oh that must mean I need to break it in!". It did eventually get looser and now aside from the fabric being ... itchy and rough (accidentally dried it),it fits great! I love how thin the fabric is and the lace is so lovely. I have to go buy some silk fabric to slip over the straps as they irritate my skin badly. As you can see from the pics it has already got wear on it just from being worn so much. I'm really hoping to find a bra that fits me like this one but with a softer fabric. It doesn't make my breasts look that spectacular,but it sure beats the god awful target/walmart bras I've been wearing my whole life.

So,other than this bra being beautiful and soft,it does NOT work on my body. For whatever reason,my right breast barely fills the cup but my left breast is almost spilling over. The center tacks great,and although the band looks tight in the pics it fits fairly comfortably. The padding is a little too thick for my liking. I'm not really sure what's going on here with this bra or my boobs (I'm new to proper fitting) but it just doesn't fit right!

Well,this didn't fit. I'm guessing like with the Masquerade Antoinette Balcony bra,the cups are too small? I was definitely popping out above and in the middle (when I swoop-n-scooped the center gore was poking into my left breast). I'm really bummed because I heard Mimi Holliday might be good for my type (shallow,tall,wide-root,FOB). I kind of want to return it and try a 28DD but with the $$ shipping prices and not knowing if the DD will just be too big or what. Like with the Masquerade Antoinette,the gore did not come close to my chest at all. Maybe the balcony style just isn't right for me. Gorgeous bra otherwise.

I just got this off eBay along with the Carys balcony bra,both my first time for Freya. I love the quality and look of the bra but it doesnt seem to fit right. It seems tight enough,like it would fit,but the top of the cup is wrinkled,mostly on the right. I guess I'll try to stick with half cups. The sides of the bra also don't seem wide enough to fit all of me in there. I really hate it because I love so many of these patterns by Freya but with the empty-top problem I don't think any of them will fit right,even though its so close!

*also,its not a plunge,as far as I know. On eBay it's listed as "new - Freya Piper Balcony bra",but for some reason the model in 28D wasn't an option on here.

So there's a little wrinkle but it fits close enough for me! As usual my right breast barely fills out on top. I think the straps are a little awkward for my shape but it doesn't bother me. The band is a little loose so I think I'll be on the second hook soon. The material is so lovely, with little bow details and the soft pink colors. Overall though it's my second bra that fits (enough) so I'm happy!!

I got this with the Freya Piper Balcony on eBay,both have the same fit issues ( wrinkle on top,sides not wide enough). I may have to get those slips to fill in my right cup,but I really hate to..I know it would annoy me or something. I'm glad to finally try out Freya though,if only they fit!

Another oddball fit,but as expected ordering a 32B (I was going to try 30C,but they were out of stock). This is my first time trying 'sister sizes'. I think maybe if they had this in 28D it would fit. The band is a little looser than I'd prefer,and of course the right cup is not filled and there's a pretty large gap. However my left breast fills it out almost perfect. If the band wasn't a 32 I'd keep it and try to alter the right cup to fit somehow. The gore almost tacks but not quite. Sorry for the nipple-y pictures,surprisingly under a shirt it wasn't very ... noticeable.It's such a gorgeous bra I don't want to return it. I think the comfort style is great for my shape though,if the top part of the cup was just a few smidgens shorter where I didn't have to worry about filling it out.

Maybe I'm just new to bra fitting for myself but this bra was very tight and the gore did not even come close to tacking. It's a beautiful bra otherwise,silky and wonderful on the skin. No tugs or anything poking. I think the cups would fit if the middle part wasn't so awkward. I'm not sure if going up or down a cup/band size would matter in this case though because of the middle(28D). But again I'm new to finding proper fitting bras (have been wearing sad flimsy C-cups my whole life).

** I added pictures finally to show how awkward the fit is. Also,I will be listing it for sale here soon! Now that I tried it on again I realized there is some poking underneath where the underwire digs into my skin a little. Lovely bra,not for me.
