FreyaWomen's Fancies Underwire Plunge Bra
K**Z
A GODSEND for larger busted people
I have always had large breasts and have never been able to purchase bras in a regular store in my entire adult life (despite spending 4 years managing an internationally known bra store). I hit DDD breasts by the time I was 12 and now sit at an uncomfortable 34I (US Sizing). I am gearing up for a reduction at the end of this year but desperately needed a new bra in the meantime because I have several weddings, vacations, and events happening between now and then and the one I was wearing was several sizes too large in the band due to recent weight loss.The band is perfectly snug but not uncomfortable. The gore rests comfortable on my sternum which is something I have never had fit correctly before; typically the cup is too small or the wire not wide enough to allow the gore to rest under my breast tissue. If you aren't familiar with bra construction, the gore is the center part between the cups. It allows for a secure fit and helps reduce movement and shifting throughout the day. A well fitting gore should be flush against your sternum without digging in.Although the cups are still SLIGHTLY too small for me, that is just a product of my bust size and not the bra itself from what I can tell. It is so flattering, comfortable, and offers the support I so desperately need. It is a forward-projecting bra so the side support looks beautiful if you're trying to avoid an overly-matronly look. I ordered another color so I have one black and one beige to last me until my reduction. This price is absolutely unbeatable compared to other bras that go to size 34I on the market and I'm even tempted to order a fun color because I have never owned anything other than black or beige before just due to limited availability and affordability in my size. I will likely order these in a smaller size after my reduction because of how flattering it is.Although bras are extremely personal in terms of sizing, my measurements below:Underbust measurement (band): 33inchesBust measurement: 42inchesHeight: 5'4"Weight: 165lbs

Perfect Freya Fit
I absolutely love this bra. It fits me perfectly, exactly like my Freya bra of the same size purchased directly from the brand.SOME NOTES:as written above, these are in UK SIZES. Freya has their own conversion chart, so even if you *think* you know your size, it's a good idea to double check, or to use a tool like abrathatfits.The nature of Freya bras is that they *will* be snug when they're new. Start wearing on the largest hook, and as the bra settles and conforms to your body, you can begin to wear the band tighter. I find that the middle hook for my 28FF is perfect for me, and works even when my weight fluctuates.The gore - center part - of the bra should lay flat against your breastbone. If you haven't worn a well-fitting bra that has a gore that tacks, it may be an uncomfortable feeling. If it's just unfamiliar and is something you settle in to, great! If the gore is painful or standing well away from your skin, your purchased bra size may be too small or too large.Unlined Freya bras shape themselves to your breast, not the other way around. If you're purchasing unlined, don't expect your natural shape to suddenly become round and perky (if that's not your resting shape). That being said, I find that this bra has a really nice natural lift and brings everything to the front, no underarm gaping, and creates nice cleavage in that way.Overall, I love this bra. It's super cute, my partner likes it, and it's comfy and has enough nipple control that I can wear this throughout the day under soft t-shirts.

Nice bra
This bra is great. Holds nice and hardly notice it's on. I will say the design of the wires on your chest kind of stab you. But it's getting better as I wear it. Sizing is not US! It's UK sizing so beware when selecting Size that you pay attention. Not padded in the slightest. A very natural yet supportive look. wish they had more colors in my Size.

ONE HOOK!!!
This is a delicate little bra, it's pastel pink and fits really well. My only concern is, I'm a loyal Freya customer, because they cater to big boobies. I'm a UK 34FF and I go through bras pretty quickly because of their colossal weight. Weirdly..this bra has ONE HOOK to clasp it together..and to be frank..I'm scared to wear it. It also creaks, like an old door. To the point that my husband was commenting on my squeaky boobs. Who the hell thought one hook was a good idea? WHO?

A savior for small-band, large cup ladies who don't want to break the bank
The bra came right on time. It is great quality and comfortable. Make sure to use their sizing chart (especially in the US) you will likely need to go down a couple of cup sizes from your US size.It is a great bra, especially after a BA settles in… and you are like me… a small band width… big cups… and nothing reasonable except sports bras.There is a LOT of coverage in the cup area. My male counterpart was not a fan of that ;) but it's great for work and using under various tops.The back straps are not super thick, so I would not recommend running a marathon in it, but it has pretty great support.Thank you, Freya!

No support
I am 5'4 and 123 pounds. TheFreya Fancies plunge bra in 28H is my size. The straps are super, super, super painful to wear! I could not wear this for more than 15 minutes. But the Freya bra's straps are a step up in comfort from Panache and Curvy Kate all of which I could only wear for 2 minutes due to the extreme pain I got from the shoulder straps. But in this Freya Fancies bra my boobs bounced all over the place if I just lifted my knee. The take home message is there is zero support! My Holy Grail everyday bra and weight lifting day sports bra is my Brooks Moving Comfort Embody sports bra in 32 G. I hate how uncomfortable Curvy Kate bras and Panache bra straps are and how little support there is in the Panache bras. I returned this.

Pretty and supportive
Ever since M&S stopped making bras in my favourite style, I have been searching for a replacement. The Freya Fancies is comfortable and provides great support. It also looks pretty compared to other DD+ bras. I would definitely buy again.

Bof
Je m’attendais à une meilleure coupe et meilleur maintient pour le prix
