How to adjust the sizing for the best fit in this marvelous bra
I purchased this model and two others recommended for my particular size: Panache Porcelain Elan and Fantasie Moulded Smoothing T-Shirt Bra. All were in a size 36FF. The Panache and the Fantasie cup shapes were not to my liking, but I adored the Freya cup shape. Uplifting, forward, and completely contained. However, the Freya band ran small.I returned the 36FF and ordered a 38F (one band size up, adjusting the cup size so that it would be equivalent to the 36FF). Perfect fit! I would recommend that you size up your band and adjust the cup size accordingly.The lifted cups are not padded, but are gently stiffened to hold their shape. They look fantastic under clothes, very flattering and shapely but still natural.Highly recommended for busty ladies, especially those who like an uplifted shaping effect. It makes you look a bit slimmer, too.

Love this bra
Great bra. I usually wear a 34F in Fantasie bras and that is what I ordered in this. This bra is even more comfortable than the Fantasie t-shirt bras. I liked the subtle lines and you don't see them through sheer shirts. I have not had any issues of seeing my headlights with this bra.

Great quality although a little snug, but a very attractive bra!
This bra fits pretty well. The band is a little tight around the rib cage but that may be bc I could possibly not be a true 32. I tend to flop between 32 and 34 but I plan on losing some weight so I plan on keeping it. The cups are true to size and I like how the straps fit well for me because I'm so short at 4'11" , I can sometimes have trouble getting the straps to be tight enough, even on the tightest adjustment. With this bra, the straps were tight enough. It's very supportive and an attractive bra! I expected it to be a little softer but it's not cardboard status either. It's nice! I'd say it is worth the price, it's well made. I got this in nude but I will probably get other colors at some point. It is pretty expensive, so that will take time. Id say get it! If u like your bras looser, go a size up in the band. If u like them more snug of a fit, go true to size.

Just okay - rather smooshed appearance
This bra is just okay. I am a 30H at the moment so I don't have a ton of options that aren't a fortune. This bra does fit in the cups and the band, but it gives me a rather smooshed appearance from the side. My boobs start too high and end too low (despite the band fitting and the underwire hitting me in the right spot). It also goes up quite high so that the tops of the cups are sometimes visible if I'm wearing, say, a loose v-neck shirt. I'm not sure if that's because of the bra or if it's due to the size I wear, but I haven't had that issue before.All told, this is a bra I wear under something loose and thick where the unflattering shape it gives me won't be as noticeable. It was a good price for what I needed, but I wouldn't buy again.

Really love this bra
I'm pretty busty, 38G, and I've been on the search for a good bra - comfortable, sexy, functional, can be worn under a t-shirt, etc... This bra is all of that. I've tried doing "research" and finding affordable bras that carry the larger sizes, but they really (in my experience) just aren't made well. I can't tell you how many bras I've bought and ended up returning or donating. In my opinion, spending $70 on a bra seems outrageous, but you have to think of it as something you need and wear everyday, so the investment is well worth it. I've found that with other large sized bras, the underwire bows out and jams into the underside of your arm, so far, this bra has not done that. I honestly forget I'm wearing it. And yes, you will need to readjust your boobs "down and out" a few times throughout the day, but that will happen with almost any bra. I'm just glad I don't have to do it every 10 minutes like I did with all the other bras I've tried. I've also already washed it (in a mesh laundry bag and air-hang dried it) and it held its structure very well.The only complaints I have are:1) The band size is pretty tight. I'm on the last hooks and it's quite snug. However, that might end up helping the cups and underwires fit better in the long run, who knows. But perhaps consider buying one size up in the band. The cups are round and fit perfect, though!2) The tag is on the left side of the bra under the underarm. Really annoying when I put my bra on, as I turn it around to hook the bra from the front, then twist it back around. The tag sticks out and I have to readjust, but don't want to remove it so I can refer back to the bra details.Anyway, I would highly recommend this bra.

Exactly as anticipated, thanks to other reviews!
Ordered the size down as recommended and was happily rewarded with a great fit! My 5 measurements suggested a 30HH, so I bought the 30H.Super snug and supportive in the band, honestly, it's so stiff it creaks lol. But I'm not afraid of breaking it in because it's refreshing to wear something that holds up the ladies. Not too stretchy for me so far, but that may be because I'm at the loosest hook and it's snuuuugggg.The cups definitely ran large as mentioned. the two other 30HHs I purchased are too small in band AND cup so I may even still be a 32HH in those brands, but this fit perfectly around my all-around "full" and soft boobs.The straps fit exactly where I expect them to, right at the inside edge of my shoulders but my shoulders are a skosh narrow. The cup fabric is silky and the moulded cup is nice and thick without feeling padded. Would definitely recommend for T-shirts and any other tips or dresses that you don't want texture showing through or too much sensation through either.

SMELL WILL DRIVE YOU MAD
Purchased recently as a replacement, as I have really liked this bra in the past. However, seems the manufacturing has changed, as the foam in the cups has an unbearable chemical smell that does not go away. I have soaked in color safe bleach and detergent- multiple times, then even attempted vinegar- and leaving outdoors for days on end- with no improvement. Attempted to work with seller to resolve- with no result. For nearly $60, huge disappointment to say the least. Buyer beware.

Good bra, one gamble
Very comfortable bra, good width on the straps, smooth sateen material good for under T-shirts, full cup almost total coverage so no good for plunge tops etc. The cups are on the large side. You takes your chance there I'm afraid, mine is acceptable in a pinch, and it is comfortable, which wins it extra points. The back sizing is true. Eg a 36 is normal 36

Best bra for tall women
As a female who is 6ft, getting a bra that has long enough straps isn't easy. I did my research and this on came up time and time again, so I ordered one and was very impressed. Its not as ridged as it looks, the flexibility and lightness of the material makes it comfortable to wear all day, it was also at least £10 cheaper on Amazon. I will be ordering more. Fit was perfect.

Comes up slightly large in the cup
Overall this is a nice bra but the fit is a bit off. I bought a 34G (exactly the same size as another Freya bra) but this one is slightly tighter round the chest and more spacious in the cup ( unfortunately the opposite of what I needed). Its also worth noting the underwire goes quite high under the arm pit which for larger ladies like myself can be a bit uncomfortable after a while of poking.Overall the quality is good and after a few wears it molds to a good cup shape

Great for everyday
I usually wear a 36H but in this brand and style I wear a 36GG (I usually have to go down a size in Freya when compared to Curvy Kate or Panache). This is a great molded cup, sturdy material and it is well made. Very comfortable, I will be buying other colors. When you look down while wearing this bra it seems like it gives you are cone shape, but under clothing the shape is lovely not conish at all.

Idiosyncratic Idol bra
Fits under breasts well, though does fit differently on each side (cup good fit left, slightly gaping right), not an issue I have with other bras. That said, it was surprisingly comfortable to wear for a day at work.
