This bra took a little getting used to at first, but I really like it. It's pretty and supportive. I wasn't used to the three-panel design, so at first I thought it made my girls shaped a little funny, but I got used to it, and I really like the black laciness. I have narrow shoulders, I guess, so the straps are almost too far apart and dig into my armpits occasionally, but not enough to be uncomfortable. I can't wear other balconette styles though, for that exact reason. I will echo what others have said about the band being pretty stretchy. I can wear it on the medium hook to tightest hook comfortably, and it's still pretty new.

I like this bra. I'm not normally much of a frilly bra person, but I thought this in the black/pink combo was particularly pretty.

The band size fits about one size larger, which is typical for every Freya bra I've tried. I am in between band sizes right now so it's fine, but once I get down into the solidly 28 range I'll probably have to alter this one. The cups seem to run at least a size large - the rest of my bras are all 28FF or 28G and I had to get this one in a 28F, and still the top part of the cup will ... be a tiny bit wrinkly on some days.

The wires follow the bottom of my breast well, which is something I have a lot of trouble with - they are often a touch too wide (which doesn't bother me) and sit way farther down my ribcage than they should (which does bother me).

I did not find the shape to be overly pointy, unlike some people mentioned - and pointy shapes are generally a no-go for me. The seams do show a bit under clothing.

I adore this bra. It's comfortable, supportive, and very pretty.

The band is soft but firm and does not create a horrible back bubble like some other bras I have. I'm enjoying being able to wear form fitted clothes without having to worry about the back fat bubble. Its done wonders for my self esteem.

The cups are made of a soft kind of silky material with non stretch lace across the top. The shape it gives is a bit pointed, but it's nearly the same as my natural shape. If you have very round breasts you may want to try something with more give in the upper cup.

The under wires are a smidge too wide, but they are so close that I can't bring myself to care. *I love the wires*. They are supportive but flexible. My ribs are prone to overlapping or "twisting" when too much pressure is placed on them. This was an issue with my panache bras, and Im enjoying having support and no pain.

Gorgeous bra, very sheer. Good for short waisted body and breast augmentation. On the downside, it does give a somewhat torpedo effect. Cup size for me is good, but I should have purchased a size 34 band.

Problematic fit. Top edge (under arm) gapes substantially, despite bottom edge of band fitting well. Slightly scratchy fabric, with medium support.
Angled-to-strap seams strongly visible under knit tops. “Looks like some Star Trek thing” says DH.
Holy conical boob, Batman! Forward, but very pointy, with tissue spilling out at upper sides due to gaping along top edge of band and short height of underwires at outer sides.

Weird bulge in the lace part from soft breasts. Band felt pretty stretchy and I had to use the 2nd hook right off the bat, so I think I'll be exchanging this for a 28DD. The gore is a little wide for me as well. The straps are hard to adjust because they are very tight in the plastic piece, so don't slide at all. This seems to give a more rounded shape.

It seems fit for FOB breasts, but also fits my FOT breasts.

This bra is beautiful and well made. However, it's not for someone with sensitive skin or super-soft breasts (such as those with severe stretch marks from breastfeeding). The seems are exposed inside the cup, and the pretty picot edging under the arm and along the strap was itchy and uncomfortable, as were the corners of the strap where it attaches inside the cup. Very soft breasts will be flattened on the outside and pushed toward the center.

This style is the first bra I bought in a proper size. I was still breastfeeding at the time and while I wasn't used to wearing bras so snug, I did but didn't like it.
I did, because, it was my first unlined bra... aaaand
I didn't because it was my first unlined bra.
I was used to the molded, padded, ill fitting VS bras.

Fast forward to after finding ABTF on reddit, and I realize that this bra is not so bad. I still dislike the overall pointy shape and east/west-i-ness it gives me, and have grown to like the rounder, uplifted silhouettes I get from Cleo unlined bras. I feel like my breast could use some more lift/shape from the bottom, whereas this bra sort of cradles my breast from the bottom and lifts it slightly. I'm still holding on to it to wear in the house, but may eventually let it go.
