Guide to Freya Bra Styles, Sizing and Fit

Below is a comprehensive list of Freya bras, including their style names and style numbers where available, with notations on whether each is suitable for shallow or projected breasts and wide or narrow roots.

Notes

Shallow vs. Projected: Shallow breasts have less projection and a wider base, needing wider, less deep cups (e.g., padded half-cups, molded plunges). Projected breasts extend farther out, often with narrower roots, requiring deeper cups with immediate projection at the wire (e.g., unlined plunges, side-support bras). Freya’s Bra Style Guide and user reviews help identify shape compatibility.

Wide vs. Narrow Roots: Wide roots span toward the armpits, needing wider wires; narrow roots are compact, needing narrower wires. Freya is noted for narrower wires compared to brands like Panache, but wire width varies by style and size (wider in larger cups, G+).

Freya’s Fit: Freya uses UK sizing (28–40 bands, B–O cups). Bands run stretchy, often requiring sizing down (e.g., 32 to 30).

Freya’s Design Trends: Freya’s unlined plunges (e.g., Fancies, Piper) and side-support bras (e.g., Offbeat, Tailored) are consistently recommended for projected breasts, especially with narrow to average roots. Molded and padded styles (e.g., Deco, Temptress) are better for shallow, wide-root breasts but often cause spillage for projected shapes in larger cups. Sports and strapless bras are generally shallower.

Wire Width Variability: Freya’s wires are narrower than Panache or Curvy Kate but wider than Polish brands like Ewa Michalak. Wires widen in larger cups (G+), making them less ideal for very narrow roots in those sizes.

Fit Insights: Freya’s plunges (e.g., Fancies, Starlight) fit projected, narrow-root breasts well in 28F–32F, but molded styles like Deco are too shallow, causing quad-boob. Half-cups (e.g., Fearne, Fancies) are better for shallow shapes but may require sizing up for projected breasts.

Fit Tips: Freya bands run loose; size down if between sizes (e.g., 34 to 32). For projected breasts, check for immediate projection at the wire to avoid floating gores. For shallow breasts, prioritize padded or molded cups to fill gaps.

How to Use This List

Determine Your Shape: Use Freya’s Bra Style Guide or A Bra That Fits resources to confirm shallow/projected and root width. Lean forward to check root width; side-profile for projection.

Match Bra Style: For projected breasts, choose unlined plunges, side-support, or balcony bras (e.g., Fancies, Tailored). For shallow breasts, select padded half-cups, molded plunges, or spacers (e.g., Deco, Loveland).

Check Root Width: Narrow roots need styles like Fancies or Piper; wide roots suit Deco or Antoinette. Average roots are versatile but check wire fit.
