Bra Review: Freya Ada and Freya's Wide Wires.

I apologise for the severe delay in the Ada review. As for the Deco I am reminded of obsessedwithbreasts.blogspot.com 's comments when she who lost her Deco which was the size of a violin case in a one bed apartment. Mine has vanished too!

I want to discuss Freya's different shapes. Miss Underpinnings has categorised them here: http://www.missunderpinnings.com/2012/08/full-bust-review-freya-shapes-ellie.html. I love Freya but I have accepted I can only fit into their Plunge Balconies. Specifically because of their stretchy lace. My left breast is nearly one whole cup larger than the right, and wow, does non-stretchy lace become a disaster fast!

I have discovered their Plunges just do not work. At all. No matter what size.

Let me show you with pictures:

Here are four Freya bras, from left to right we have: Freya Lacey, 28FF, Freya Naomi 28G, Freya Ada 28GG, Freya Tara 28H.

What do we notice? Well, the H is bloody massive compared to the rest!

I need the depth of the 28H but not those horrific wires. Why the massive increase between the GG and H. I can actually fit into the Naomi, but even with the stretch I still kinda pop out...

So, enter the 28GG Ada. Only not so much. It's barely bigger than the Naomi. The gore barely tacks despite being a size bigger. Hell, look at that picture. Gives you can idea? Argh, it's super small. It just doesn't fit!

I'm pretty disappointed, as I can't size up, the 28H is too big! It's a bit like the problems Sweets posed in this review: http://sweetnothingsnyc.com/2013/04/24/review-morning-meadow-by-freya/. Only I would say I have a worse problem because the right breast is smaller than the left.

I'm pretty disappointed that the plunges just don't work. It doesn't seem like much thought was but into the 28H - it's not that much bigger than a  28GG. Yet the 28GG is barely bigger than the 28G!

Urgh!

I've heard the Ada runs a bit tight in the band. I would agree.

Looks:

It's no beige horror. Aesthetics are 1st class here. I usually hate white bras because they give me a flashback to minimisers but in general I would say that this bra is clearly an exception. An excellent use of white as it should be in a bra. Not all over, but young and fresh. Also the fabric doesn't seem like it would go grey, or at least it the gorgeous pattern would look okay with a greyer shade.

Feel:

Not super soft or cosy. Feels just like any Freya. Pretty boring.

Shape:

Very pointy, but I don't actually find that a problem, but busting out is such a problem it's not a good one at all!

Fit:

Just doesn't fit. Gore does not tack.

Straps/Other features:

There really isn't much to say. The straps have a fancy black trim, which I like. The straps are wide, usual Freya fare.

Conclusion:

Too small because of a shape clash. Wires felt slightly too wide, but the cups were just too small. Back to the drawing board.
