It was just as pointy as yours from the side, or even more so. There seemed to be empty space in the middle of the cup but the "four boobs"-effect was terrible.<br /><br />Then I thought that there are no bras matching to my size, since the D cup (I think it was 32D) was not right. Somehow I thought the D cup was too big because of the empty space(!!). And only now I realise that my actual size is about 30E..!<br /><br />Thank You so much for the blog, I´ve learned a lot from it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-25279892316037034272012-03-29T02:48:45.401-07:002012-03-29T02:48:45.401-07:00You're right about the lack of flowers and bow...You're right about the lack of flowers and bows being a big relief--I actually often find myself looking for something without flowers and bows and almost everything has them! I'm not a fan of the texture on the Rio, but it definitely does serve that purpose well.<br /><br />I also find in my red, 30GG Rio that I get the best shape I ever got in Freya. I would love to know how you fixed the straps so they don't slide, it would really improve the wearability!Bras I Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692999972337398680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-68452964236514798222012-03-27T16:38:22.858-07:002012-03-27T16:38:22.858-07:00Though I don't like its looks, I really enjoy ...Though I don't like its looks, I really enjoy wearing the Rio. Mine is "nude" in color, which helps reduce the odd look. I wear a 28G in most Freya bras, and the Rio fits me beautifully in this size, giving a wonderfully rounded shape. It's also really comfortable. Unfortunately, the straps slip easily and I've anchored them to "correct" this.<br /><br />One of the things I really liked about the (now cancelled) Rio is that it didn't look feminine. That odd center metal decoration and the metal attachments for the straps on the cup add to this, IMO. Some large cup women want non-flowery, non-bow-covered bras, a non-feminine look, for whatever reason. It was great to have a functional bra that fit this. Unfortunately, it's been cancelled. I hope Freya will offer a good replacement in a not-bow/flower, not-so-feminine variety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-70657915222124484302011-12-15T02:27:30.951-08:002011-12-15T02:27:30.951-08:00The Ingrid is cute, but of course not available in...The Ingrid is cute, but of course not available in my size.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-18450476699066129122011-12-14T11:21:40.853-08:002011-12-14T11:21:40.853-08:00Christine, I THINK I tried the Zara in a 32G but I...Christine, I THINK I tried the Zara in a 32G but I'm not totally sure I'm remembering that right. Judging by how small it looks on me, it might possibly be a 30G. I wish I could remember. It's good to hear that it looks good in small band/big cup though! This seems like one of Freya's winners.Bras I Hatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07692999972337398680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706716744772949852.post-16269439104221457952011-12-14T11:02:37.030-08:002011-12-14T11:02:37.030-08:00Can I ask what size you tried the Zara in?

I actually own it (in a 28GG) and I like the fit pretty well; the only caveats are that the band is a little stretchy for me (as are most Freyas, though the Zara didn't seem as bad as many), and the shape is a little pointier than I like. The center gore is low like that on me.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08928146749204392195noreply@blogger.com
