Fancies Full Figure Underwire Balconette Bra

I recently discovered Freya bras about 2-3 years ago. They not only make pretty bra's and panties, but also super cute bikini swim suits in ACTUAL CUP SIZES that are a godsend for large-busted ladies like myself. I used to wear Chantelle and Wacoal bras, but as utterly lovely as Chantelle were, I started to have fit issues as I've slid into my late 40's. (I also had two kids and that changes things, too!) Wacoal makes a good minimizer bra that I wore for a number of years as my "t-shirt" bra and for when I needed a smooth silhouette under garments. But the straps were super industrial looking and it was not what I would call a sexy bra. Utilitarian at best. So thank goodness for Freya!!! I've tried buying other bras brands, but inevitably they never fit right and I always have to return them. (A 32 G in one brand can fit completely differently to another brands 32 G!) So I'd go back and buy Freya bras, they'd arrive, fit beautifully and all is right in the world, again. Freya are my go-to-bra brand, I'm not looking at any other brands any more! I love this new beauty in the color Petal! Great band support, the straps are sleek yet still very supportive. I think the bra cups make older breasts look fantastic which here means, perky and lifted, not droopy or saggy. :) I had my daughter take pictures of me in the bra and wearing the bra under a t-shirt because I think pictures included with product reviews are so important. I'm so happy with this bra and the Freya Idol Underwire Balconette Bra I bought as well. If you're not sure of your size, get fitted by a bra specialist at your local Nordstrom and then you can know and order your size online after that without worry. What I've found with Freya is they are solidly consistent with their sizing no matter the style. Yay!!!

This shows up in filter results as if it’s US sizing, but it’s UK sizing. It’s also not at all a balconette…it cuts up very high on top, especially by where the strap attaches to the cup. It is higher cut than most demi bras I have owned, when a balconette should be low cut and virtually flat across the top of the cups.
