Dissapointing fit
I am normally a 34 but ordered a 36 for all day comfort, but the band came up smaller than any of my 34 bras. The cups on the otherhand were very large and a bit pointy so all in all not a good fit and had to be returned.

Strap on back had sharp plasticky bits which rubbed sores on my skin
Have bought this style before with no problem. However, both black bras I had rubbed into my back & caused friction sores. I thought it was the metal hooks digging in. However, then realised it was the corners of the strap which had kind of plasticky edges on them - maybe they melt the material on finishing to avoid any fraying. Had to file it down with nail files, causing fraying & cut the bits off to stop the bras causing me any more pain and damage.

On the small side
Lovely style and quality, but too tight. However, this is a stylish looking bra. I have returned, but would consider ordering again in a larger cup.

Freya Rio - one of the few bras I will buy regularly.
Very supportive, it is like wearing a sports bra without padding. This really does hold you in. Wish they would do this one in a tomato red.

Not Bad
Bra was ok, two weeks on and the bra feels a little bit lose already.

Surprisingly supportive for large busts!
I'm a 32H, used to padded bras so I'm skeptical about non-padded but this is surprisingly more supportive than my padded ones!
It gives amazing lift (I tried it out when walking to and from uni) and my confidence definitely grew the day I wore it.
I'm usually a 34GG but re-measured myself and so I ordered a 32H- when trying on this bra, the underwire was definitely between well-fitted and tight, but I thought let me try it out anyway; wore it for about 12 hours, walking up and down to and from places, and it wasn't uncomfortable at all, completely forgot the bra was there as it should be. It'll stretch in time anyway so it's better!
The design wasn't as good as it looks in the image but obviously different sizes will vary, still looks lovely!
It kind of is lightly padded at bottom. Very very lightly. Nonetheless, if you get the right size, shouldn't be a prob!

Lovely bra
Firstly and most importantly for us bigger busted Ladies (I'm a 36 G) this keeps me nicely in place. It's also comfortable and a very pretty looking bra.
I've had this bra before in white so this is a repeat purchase and I'll definitely purchase again.
