I'd always read Freya bands were looser, but this sucker is tight....is it the black color? Is it the fact that it's probably a little bit too small for me? I really don't know. The upside-down band test was inconclusive, but I definitely don't want to wear this bra all day. Part of that is that it's scratchy. The lace isn't very soft but neither is the rest. As others have said, the top line is rather open. It technically wrinkles but only by about 1/8" (I'm even and center-full). It's the first unlined bra I've had that was even close though! I'm not tall but have a long torso, probably similar to someone at least 5'10", and the straps are a teensy bit too short for me and too narrow for my shoulders as well. I'd recommend to a FOT person who's average or short in the torso and average or narrow in the shoulders.

I tried this on at the store. I knew it would have some issues being a sister size but I wanted to try it to see if I could pick it up in my true size or alter it to fit.
I tried it in black and I love the look of it. The wires are fairly narrow and the cups are shallow. It's a shape miss match for me, but I love the look of it. A sexy bra, esp. in the black.

Pretty, but not for me. Sheer cups make my soft tissue wrinkle. This must happen in all bras, but sheer cups allow for full visibility of it, and this was a good example of that.
The bra itself fit better than expected on my short-rooted, wide-set, soft, deflated breasts. I have heard so much about Freya bands being stretchy, but this was pretty firm and felt true to size (30D). The height of the cups worked for me, although the sides under my arms were not really high enough. I don't think the scalloped lace edges of the cups are meant to sit flush against the skin. Aside from the seams making creases in my boobs (as all seams do), the cups otherwise gave an uplifted, rounded look.
Only tried this on, did not buy.
