This is a really great-looking bra--to me, the denim print makes it fun and not overly feminine. There's no lace to show under tight-fitting shirts, just a small trim, and the seams aren't terribly visible either. The shape is nice and round and it gives pretty good lift.

The fit is my best yet. I wore this all day yesterday on the loosest hooks and it was consistently tight, which is nice when you have a sub-28 underbust; it didn't stretch out over the course of the day and I felt well-supported. The underwires didn't poke and are a perfect length for my build. The bottom of the band didn't roll up for me at all. I was really impressed with how it stayed in place.

However, the edging of the material is rigid and the bra's wings really dug into my shoulder muscles (I lift weights and have a high-set chest so this may not be a problem for everyone). I was actually surprised when I took the bra off at the end of the day and it hadn't broken my skin. I'm hoping the fabric will soften up with a few more wears, and I won't wear it for 12+ hours again if I can help it!

If you're not used to longlines, like me (this was my first!), you might have a difficult time putting the thing on. It's got six hooks and I had to get my husband to help. I'm sure with a bit of practice it'll get easier.

UPDATE, 11/23: One week in and this is absolutely my most comfortable and best-fitting bra yet. It's no longer painful at all and seems to have loosened up a bit, but it still stays in place way better than any of my other bras (I have 26ish-inch ribcage, so 28 bands are usually a little big). I'd recommend this bra without reservations and I'm planning on purchasing more of Freya's longlines!
