FreyaWomen's Daisy Lace Underwire Balcony Bra

I have both the black and blush colorways of the Daisy Lace underwire bra (and the soft-cup too, but that’s not what this review is about).Note: black bras are usually more snug/run “smaller” than different colors due to the dyes used, or so I’ve heard. I have had several Panache, Goddess, and now Freya bras that have anecdotally confirmed to me that there is a difference!The black 38FF fits me better than the blush 38FF—not enough to make me want to size down in either band or cup, but enough to notice. The blush is a bit…floppy? at the top/center of the cup, whereas the black is more firm. I bought the blush after I realized the gore of the 38FF Panache Claras I have weren’t tacking, and it took me a bit to figure out what worked and what didn’t size-wise.The lace is cute. The top part of the cup is the same lace the soft-cup variant is made of, and that stuff must be handled with care. I’ve had multiples of the soft-cup rip just from a light touch/graze, usually in spots that are easily resewn with needle/thread/patience. This one is definitely a hand-wash. The bottom part of the cup is made of two light layers of sturdier stuff. There’s a subtle poof when my tissue hits the top part of the cup, as that material doesn’t hold things in as effectively as the bottom part; this is more pronounced in the blush version. It’s not super noticeable, though, especially under a shirt. I probably notice it because I have a contentious relationship with this part of my anatomy.The band is nice—firm enough to feel supportive but not so firm as to be painful. The black band definitely has less give than the blush. The wires don’t come up too high in my underarms. As a longtime Panache fan with flares of rib pain, these things are important.The Daisy Lace underwire isn’t shallow at the wire, but it’s not too immediately projected, either. I am, and I get a slight bit of wrinkling here, but not enough to be annoying. (Wrinkling doesn’t always mean too big!) The bottom portion of the cup is adequately deep; the top portion of the cup might have too much room for bottom-full individuals. The gore of the black colorway tacks better to me than the gore on the blush. I’m center-full and close-set, so sometimes this affects gore tacking as much as size does. Sometimes the last centimeter or so of the gore doesn’t tack; sometimes the left side wire flips up and sits on breast tissue, while the right wire tacks in the center. 🤦🏻This is definitely not a side-support bra. I prefer side-support for overall support, but it’s not a huge issue for me. If you require side-support, stick with four-part cup construction (and stiffer materials). I was looking for a bra that fits *well enough* and didn’t make me hurt worse than I already do, and this meets those criteria.

The band is firm, but comfortable. It fits me great, except there is some small gapping at the top. Maybe at my size (I'd say I'm on the smaller end), the gapping isn't too bothersome. I still feel supported.TBH, this is more of a blind buy based on other bras I've bought. Here are my measurements:Loose Underbust: 71 cmSnug Underbust: 69 cmTight Underbust: 67 cmStanding Bust: 85 cmLeaning Bust: 86 cmLying Bust 82 cmMy assumptions are that I have breasts that are:- Projected- Full on bottom- Center full- Wide rootI have never been fitted properly so please don't take my word for it.

It fits great and lifts them back up!

I ordered two band sizes larger than I usually do (36 instead of my usual 32) because I'm in late pregnancy and I need the room around. The band size is a little larger than I expected as I'm on the tightest setting and was not expecting that based on how my other bras fit. That could have been a sizing misjudgment on my part, as my cups are too small on my other bras and the bands were tight. I went up two cup sizes and one band size from my right bras and this is where I am fit-wise. For reference, I generally buy Freya, Cleo, Curvy Kate, and Fantasie. I have a Pour Moi swimsuit. ANYWAY.The cup size is spot on. Overall, I'd say the fit is true to size, maybe a little generous on the band.The cup fit is very nice; putting my breasts apart just enough around the gore. The cups come really far around under my armpits, but that's probably due to the band being a bit large.The material is good quality and the bra has a very good structure. The lace is not very itchy as far as lace goes. Give it a washing and should be fine.I'll see how it holds up, but I won't put too much wear on this bra as it'll be too big after I deliver. Might convert it to a nursing bra for nighttime... We'll see.

I am loving the fit of this bra. I am a full 36E natural cup and it fits really good, is super comfortable and provides good support for natural breasts. I was concerned about the thin straps but they are a non-issue, they don't cut and are comfortable. The underwire has not been an issue, it feels so good I literally had to feel to make sure it was there. I have been wearing this bra almost every day for 2 weeks to "test" it out and so far no complaints. It washes well also (delicate cycle/air dry). I ordered what I thought was the nude color but it is pink. I really hadn't thought of having a pink bra but I actually like it a lot now that I have it. When the budget allows, I will probably buy a couple more in other colors.

This is a very pretty bra, which for busty ladies is not always easy to find! I am dropping one star because the straps are placed really far out so it gets a little pinchy around the armpits, this isn't a deal breaker for me. The color is a little pinker than the picture shows, I thought it would be a very pale pink but it's more of a light pink. Still very pretty and what I was in the market for!I am a 38GG (UK sizing) and this bra fit very well, I found an online bra database that compares different brands to help figure out sizing. I recently purchased an Elomi bra on Amazon so I used that to find my size for Freya, I'm glad I did this because I've had trouble getting my size right with Freya in the past.

I have bought this bra twice, once when I was a 34G and as a 34H. This bra changes based on cup size! The G has 2 hooks on the back and a rounded cup shape and the H has a more bullet bra style shape and 3 hooks on the back. I’ve noticed the larger size also has thicker straps, which helps decrease any digging into the shoulders. It seems the larger the cup size, the more torpedo shaped it makes your boobs. Either way it’s a comfortable bra that fits well, but just be aware that it seems to be less flattering on bigger cup sizes. It also is not a bra that creates cleavage of any sort, the center of the bra fits firmly in between my boobs. I think for the price it is good, but there are other freya bras out there I have liked better.

Bought 28E and it fits perfectly except there isn’t much fabric at the sides and my breasts spill out. Not much of an issue to disregard it completely - will probably wear it to bed as it’s comfy and non padded.

Wear on daily basis. Looks nice too

Good quality

Good sturdy material. And great hold! Plus, very pretty, I would buy again!

34 K. Cute and does the job. The kcups are not super well adjusted. Like many, I have a breast that is smaller thand the other. That cup is a bit saggy. Okay for 6 to 7 hour wear after the wires dig into your ribs. Overall okay.
