I got a few bras from Debenhams, because a bratabase user was so kind to order them for me (the particular bras I wanted were on the original Debenhams site, but not the US version). This was my first time trying out Freya bras.
Color: Midnight
About the bra:
It has a beautiful floral design consisting of blacks, blues, white, purples and yellows.
The gore has a bow that is black and blue.
There is a cute little scalloped design on the black lace (which is stretchy).
The lace looks different on the pictures in the models.
There is a cute little decoration throughout the bottom of the bra
Where the strap meets the cup, there is also a black & blue bow.
The back of the bra straps is have black and half of the floral design.
But I feel like that makes the straps only partially adjustable.

The review:
I like this bra. It’s cute. I was kind of tight when I was wearing, so I’m probably going to use my bra extenders when I wear it again.
Okay from the side view. Pointier than what I would like, but I’ll live.
I think this bra wouldn’t work on someone that’s FOT. I have a little cutting of the tissue. The lace is stretchy though.
This is the main area that was hurting me when I was wearing the bra. The ‘pain’ started about two hours after I put the bra on. I was on my way to MD, so I had no choice but to continue wearing the bra.
When I took the bra off there were marks on my skin.
I did also notice that on my bigger breast the marks left by the wire were sitting on my breast tissue, not next to it. So I’m thinking I need to either attempt to stretch the wire, slightly, or get a 28E.

This is what I wore over the bra. A cami from walmart (for only $1.68!), and a hello kitty tank also from walmart.
Because of how pointy the Freya bras are on me, I’m hesitant to get more. I am going to attempt a Freya Arabella though.
I need this pattern in my life! I’m obsessed with it! Did they have 28Fs available? Because I have an aunt who lives in England who I might have to harass.

I just looked and I didn’t see it. Sorry.

Hi
I have this bra, but the longline kind which is an halfcup. I absolutely love it! The unpadded freyas don’t work for me, but the padded ones do, maybe you could try this with another cut if it didn’t work for you?

Thanks. I’m trying to steer away from padded bras, since that’s all I’ve worn for years (padded then molded). Butt here is a padded Parfait bra I’m interested in…
