Freya Fancies Underwire Balcony K Cup Bra Underwear

I was hoping....most of us reading this know what I mean, right? You buy a bra and you so want it to fit. But there are so many factors, that it is hard to get the one that works just right. This worked for me in some ways, but in a couple, not at all.The good:The straps are LONG! Very helpful for me - I sometimes don't have enough and I had a lot left to let out. They are also comfortable.The band is snug - sizing was spot on for a 38.The cups are also spot on for sizing. I was fully contained.Color is gorgeous.The not so good:It was a bit scratchy, one of the reasons I didn't rate it 5 stars.The cups have a bit of an odd shape to me; they are a teensy bit east west and are relatively wide, extending past the sides of my body.Doesn't work for immediate projected breasts.Information/measurementsCups: Starting at the underwire and for about a 1/2", it is at a 45 degree angle. That is good for some breasts, but definitely not those that immediately project.Band unstretched - 32"Stretched - 39"Cup width - 7.25"Gore height 4"Gore width .8"

I am a size 30JJ, full on top. My actual underbust measurement is 28, but I prefer to wear a size 30 band. This is a fabulous, full coverage bra. It gives great lift. Slightly pointy shape, but that look is softened under clothes. The core wire sits firmly against my sternum, and the cup wires do not poke me in my armpits. My bust is set forward and not squashed into my armpits. The lace trim is a little itchy, but I suspect it will soften after a wash. It's not ugly, but it's not "pretty" either. I will be buying additional garments in this style.

I am 5'4 and 123 pounds. The Freya Fancies in 28HH is my size. The straps are painful to wear! I could not wear this for more than 2 minutes. But in this 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.

This is a good bra. I have one in graphite and nude. The material is netting lined and it's a lovely fabric overall that doesn't itch or irritate. I like the shape of the cups, and it is moderately supportive. And now the gripes... perhaps due to the added stretch in the cups and band, it's not as supportive as my Freya Hero bras. I feel the need to adjust the cups as the day goes on. That being said, the nude color is an almost exact match to my skin so I put up with the shortcomings when I have to.

I wear a 38h and have so much trouble finding bras that fit. I gave up on comfortable a long time ago. This bra not only fits but it’s also comfortable. I thought the middle part sitting on your chest was a myth that could only be accomplished by the small chested but I now know it is possible with a good bra. I ordered this bra in an i since I am currently pregnant and the cups are a little big which is what I wanted but because of how the cups are made you can’t even tell when I wear it.

I love this bra. I don’t have any problems with the straps or anything. Most straps don’t go short enough for me but these ones don’t have a blocker on them so the tighten all the way if needed. But it does run big. I wear a 28j or a 30hh most the time and I had to get this is a 30H. Don’t be afraid to get a full size down.

The upper cups dart at the apex; this is definitely a full coverage cut, not balconette - at least, what was sent to me. Balconettes are supposed to be cut to support the lower pole in a way that lifts and fills out the upper pole for a full rounded shape on top. This is why many people need bigger cup sizes for true balconettes. I am a solid 36K for balconettes, and only need JJ for full coverage cuts. If Freya thinks this is cut like a balconette, it is not.

I ordered this in a 30 HH. The band is a tad bigger than other bras in this size, but works fine. Excellent lift. I am very happy with the super long straps. I have a long torso and with other bras no matter how much I let out the straps they are always too short. I am very happy with my purchase.

Really disappointed.. it just fits badly! I have many other freya bras in this size that fit well so I don't understand it. Also thoroughly disappointed that I have to pay for return postage - will stick to Brastop.com which lets you return for free to make sure you can find one that fits, and don't lose money due to bras that aren't true to size.

Lovely, as most Freya bras are. Fits true to size - use boob or bust website to get your accurate measurements!

Very itchy, tighter than other one same size same make. Bones smaller than space allowed for them and therefore dig in under the arms.

Found the cups much softer than the white bra I'd ordered previously so a little disappointed but the bra fits well.

Love this item bought one before
