Initial impressions are that if my breasts were both the same size, I'd call this a good fit. There's some looseness in the lace -- a pucker along the diagonal seam running between strap and gore -- which I think is simply due to my being shallow up top. It's nothing too noticeable. The wires are perfect, I feel supported and get a lovely uplifted profile.

The gore can be a bit stabby if I don't get the bra sitting at precisely the right height, but the biggest problem I have with this bra is that the straps cut into my armpits. Hopefully a few washes will soften it a little.

I was worried about asymmetry with a totally sheer bra (I'd estimate I have about a cup size difference), but other than slightly more wrinkling in the lace on the smaller side it's really not as noticeable as I thought. Although I have noticed the mesh can be a little itchy on the nipple on my smaller breast, due to slight movement within the cup during the day; so if you have extreme asymmetry and sensitive skin this might not be a great choice.

Edited to add: after a few washes and wears, most of my problems with this bra have vanished. The gore is no longer stabby, the wires are nicely broken in to my shape, and the mesh doesn't irritate my nipples any more. The straps also don't saw at my arms quite so badly any more -- but they do still chafe, and by the end of the day it's uncomfortable. I've not marked the straps as being too wide-set because it's not a deal-breaker on this bra, but it does still suffer from the combination of wide-set straps and tall cups (particularly at the wing) that results in Freya bras not being armhole friendly on me.
