Freya Pollyanna Balcony Bra aa5922 Reviews

I had to go with a 34K even though I am normally a 36JJ as this bra is sadly being discontinued. I have searched for months to find a different bra that is comparable to this one with no luck, and I have tried the Faye and other Freya bras and been utterly disappointed. Underwire actually fits, however the cups are slightly too large (probably because it's a K). I really wish this bra were not being discontinued as I would continue to buy them for all time. It is so hard to find something you absolutely love when you are so large busted and have a small torso. Most will have underwires that come up too high and are uncomfortable. This bra is the epitome of comfort to me; I am sad to see it go and even sadder that there are none left in my actual size. Tommi from California

This bra is well made, excellent support after years of use, fits without and scratchiness, poking or prodding. I'll take 10 more, please! Submitted from TheUndies.com

The shopkeeper in the bra boutique I used to visit would always rave about Freya quality and style, and when she showed me this bra in a catalog, I knew I had to have it! I loved the colors and the lace, and when I received it, it was just as pretty as I imagined. I guess I consistently find Freya lacking in both support and quality of material. Of all the Freya bras I've tried, this is the best, but it isn't stupendous. Please note: proper sizing is ESSENTIAL for a bra like this one, because if the lace is carrying more of the flesh/weight of your breasts than it should, then you'll get that four-boob effect AND you'll really place too much strain on the lace, wearing it out sooner than you should.

Freya Response: This style features a “balcony” frame which gives a beautiful open neck-line for a very sexy, fashionable look. But if you’re looking for more stable support, check out our sister brand Elomi: Elomi offers lots of styles in all sorts of luscious prints and fabrications, and Elomi is designed for the woman who needs a bit more support. The Elomi bands are wider than the Freya bands, for more control, and the strap placement is more centered for the ultimate in stability and support. Jaye from Oakland, CA, USA

I absolutely love this bra. After the first two days of getting used to wearing underwire again, it's the best blend of comfort and support that I've had in years. One of the few bras that has straps adjustable enough to fit my shoulders (most are too long). It's true to size, and very pretty. Kim from Smithsburg/MD/USA

I like the fit of the bra, however, the side wiring comes a little too high and irritates just beneath the underarm region. My frame is petite, but my bust is large. It seems the larger sized bra was made for women who are tall and busty, or a little larger in figure as well. Tre from Brooklyn, New York

I really liked this bra. The material is not scratchy. I liked the shape and design. I got this one and the Freya underwire Plunge Balcony bra 4101 because they were recommended to me as being similar. However I found difference and I like Polyanna much more - the look and the sizing of it. The band length of Polyanna Bra was shorter than my other Freya Bras. And noticeably shorter than the Underwire Plunge Bra (4101). In the descrlption of the Underwire Plunge Bra it said that it rans generous in the band size (and it was very true) but it also said that both bras Polyanna and Underwire Plunge are set on the same frame. However what I found was that Underwire Plunge Bra was truly generous in the band size, 28D band size was too big for me. With this one - the Polyanna Bra, I found band size 28D to be pefect for me and shorter than any other Freya Bra's I had. Kat NC

Love this! Sexy cute bra! Covered the top without the dreaded huge cup size look. Not a Grandma Bra! Didn't give me that split the top of the chest look some Balcony Bras give. Hubby loves it. Looks great under tee-tops. Margaret

The bra was too big but I couldn't return it because I bought it on clearance. It may be better if it was the right size. Margaret from Sugar Land

Fits true to size so long as you're measured properly! Very comfortable, and the straps adjust all the way to the cup if you need it. Exceptionally comfortable straps. Very sexy with no show through thin tight shirt. Might show back bulge on anyone who might be concerned. High midsection can be itchy, and the band is sometimes itchy too, although I'm sure it will get softer with wear. A perfect fit, and highly ironic that I can't find an ornament with my daughter's name, but my bras come with tags that do! Trisha from Manchester, NH USA

Good bra really like it. Fits good and is supportive. Also has a nice design not just solid black. Fits smooth and doesn't show under snug tops. I wish it came in a nude color. Nicki from USA

A great supportive bra. Cups were true to cup size. The upper part of the fabric was causing a wrinkle for me not a big deal! I would recommend this bra to anyone! Gene from Philadelphia, PA

This is a gorgeous bra, and extremely comfortable (the two do not always go hand in hand)! Why they are not making it in black anymore is a mystery to me! S.D. from Media, PA

I've been very frustrated trying to find a bra that fits. After reading blogs from women in the UK on bra fit I decided to go down a band size and up a cup size. With a 26" ribcage and a 35" bust size I found I'm in the 28G range. Wow, what a change from being measured in the 32 C-D range. This is the first bra for that is really close to fitting and I'm still trying to get used to it. At first the band was a little tight (I also had to learn how to fit a bra correctly) but has stretched some with 3 wearings. The lace around the top does pucker on my smaller side but doesn't show under clothes and I get great support. So far I'm happy with this bra but because my bras were so "ill-fitting" I don't have much to compare it with. I also don't have the back pain that I experience with my not so well fitting bras. As another review noted, there are gathers on the sides of the bands, at first I thought is was my fit but they are still there after the bra was washed (by hand, of course). All I can say is THANK YOU, Freya for recognizing that many petite women are "curvy", THANK YOU to the UK girls who enlightened me on bra fit and THANK YOU to HerRoom for selling this size.

Very supportive, but the lace part had a lot more give than the other fabric and causes bulging over the seam between the 2 fabrics, even though the cup fit overall and there was no bulging over the top of the cups. It was very unflattering and caused an odd shape under clothing. I have owned similar Freya Bras before and never run into this problem, I was pretty disappointed and returned it.

Freya Response: We’re sorry this style didn’t work for you, but could it be that you actually needed a larger cup size in this style? Fortunately Freya has lots of fabulous styles to choose from! Have you tried Freya 4101, or Freya 4791? The lace upper cup of both these styles is not as sheer, and has a lot less “mechanical stretch” than Freya 5922. Erin from Washington
