Disappointed
I was very excited to discover this bra company that would finally support my girls. I got three bras, and idol was one of them. I sized up appropriately, however the bra cups are too small. The fit was disappointing and I am returning the other two. Would have liked to return this as well, except that I tried wearing it for half a day, hoping it would get more comfortable, but sadly no. I do not recommend these bras for women cup sizes, F and above.... Show more

Disappointed
I have been buying this particular bra for years… I love it! I’m a 34 G-H over the years. It’s a good fit, supportive and gives me a great shape. The last 6 months I think I have bought 6 bras, and the wires keep poking out the front. The wires are soo sharp and it’s really painful, I have tried repairing them, but after a few wears the wires push through again. I try to be mindful of how I wash and dry them. It’s soo upsetting because now I am being forced to look for something else….... Show more

Great bra
This bra is definitely supportive and gives a great shape. I wanted a bra that doesn't show underneath shirts and minimizes without looking pointy or cone shaped (which I have experienced with other bras), and this does the trick. Somehow I never knew about having some padding in a bra to also hide the nipples, and I'm glad I discovered that with this bra. Only thing keeping it from 5 stars is the thin straps, which it seems like makes them fall down more.... Show more

Great brand
I used to get this brand Freya from a specialty store near me. I have never been able to fit into any other bras because I have a small band size but very large cup size. They closed and I thought I was screwed until I saw VS started carrying some of the Freya line. So happy they have finally started carrying sizes for unique sizes. The bra is extremely comfortable and fits very nicely.... Show more

Great colour and quality
I got fitted at london branch. I was between sizes and was suggested that smaller back and larger cup best supported boobsI went in with a 32FF bra and purchased this great t shirt bra as 30G online a few weeks later. Good eco packaging btw. I am slightly worried that trying a bra on in store for 10 mins is Very different than leading my normal life. So have moaned at husband saying my ribs are achy with such a firm fitting around strap. I am persevering as I think it will even out. I have noticed that when I come in from work and tale bra off - only the bottom hook is locked. Not sure why. Anyway I dont feel as trapped now and hoping the bra band never loosens in public! PS. The fitter did advise it is all about preference. My guy tells me next time for an ... MoreI got fitted at london branch.

Its nice
So I ordered this bra and a few others from their new sizing. All 3 I ordered were 34I this is the only one that fit nicely (nice rounded look and feel, no pointy boobs). I like the larger straps, could be even wider. Only thing I personally don't like is the little bows on it which I'll be removing. If it doesn't fit right you ordered the wrong size. I'm a 34 in band and 43 in bust if it helps.... Show more

Looks great but not comfortable!
Was excited to try this one after Panache changed the shape of my beloved Porcelain balcony which was too narrow for my boobs. The Idol bra was exactly what I wanted looks wise (balcony, spacer fabric, smooth, no scratchy lace) but it pinched me under the arms after a couple of hours - it wasn’t the wire that was doing it as that ended well before the edge of the bra, but the stitching above the wire/on the edging is very thick and stiff which I think was doing it. Sadly returned. The search goes on!... Show more

Nice, but not perfect
After wearing about 5 times, I'm finding the underwire is starting to dig in more under my arm. I think a few more wears and the wire will break through the fabric which is a shame. It gives a decent shape and provides good support and the straps haven't fallen down which I usually get with my other bras. Generous cup size so it's best to size down one cup.... Show more

So Comfortable
After covid I've really not put on a proper bra at all, mainly due to how uncomfortable they are. I even considered maybe I was buying the wrong size. However, I bought this in my normal size and the fit is amazing and it's actually comfortable!!! It is undetectable under white T-shirts which was also what I was looking for. Very pleased...

what has happened to this bra?
I already have 3 of these bras ordered a few years ago but still a good fit and comfy but now just getting very tatty. Ordered 2 new ones in black and beige in same size. Both the new bras, especially the beige one, now seem too loose around the back and possibly I could have even gone down a back size. Also both bras rub really badly where the strap is sewn onto the cup at the front. The stitching here feels bulky and can be felt through the bra strap. So uncomfortable that today I was glad to get home and take the bra off. I don't understand why these feel such a different size and are so uncomfortable compared with my old ones which I have now gone back to wearing. Unfortunately when the new ones arrived I just had a quick try and they seemed fine --- especially ...
