One of the best fitting bras I've bought this year! I have a big issue with torpedo boobs and while this doesn't quite give me my ideal shape, it definitely rounds out my breasts a lot more than most other bras. Comfortable for wearing on long days. Lovely lace details. The lacing does have bulky seams right over the nipples, so when worn under thin shirts it looks a bit odd.
Edit 8/2/19: I've had this about a year and a half. Unfortunately it didn't hold up to time as much as I would have hoped! I began having issues where, without any noticeable digging in or discomfort of the straps themselves, this bra would give me pain in the right shoulder after daily wear. I've also moved onto using the tightest strap and still find it's not enough to support me.

Love this bra. Great for full on bottom. Best fitting bra I have.

Depending on the day, this sometimes feels like the best fit for my breast shape. It cuts in a tiiiiny bit (quadding), but the 30E had a bit of wrinkling in the upper part of the cups. I've been wearing the 28F with an extender while I break it in, because for some reason, despite this being one of my best fits, it feels the most "boob cagey" to me. This bra seems like it's going to hold up very well over time. The straps are the thickest/widest I've had in awhile. Wish the gore was a little narrower and/or lower; that might fix the slight quadding.

I feel supported with no quad-boob. The seam across the boob sucks with thin t-shirts but this is still my daily go-to.

This bra is a entitled a plunge bra, although the gore is not particularly low. I cannot judge the fit since it is not in my size range.
Regarding the construction, the cup is made of four parts of non-stretch fabric. The side support is made of a sturdier fabric, while the other three parts are made of a lace that doesn't feel very soft. I don't know if the materials might soften with a washing, but for a new bra, they feel quite rough.
The band is made of one layer of stretchy jersey, and the straps have a shiny silver decoration on the top. This would also be somewhat scratchy, but since it's not also on the inside of the strap, it's fine. Same fro the thin elastic on the top edge of the cup.
Regarding the design, the silver accents look very pretty in real life, and they give an otherwise plain black bra a bit of a party feel.

Had to size down in the cup because otherwise I got the potato sack effect. Because it's sort of stretchy on the top cup, it fits without digging in anywhere. It is not as stretchy as the panache stretch lace, which I feel provides virtually no structure. This is a more happy medium. Band is not a tight 30," it's a true 30," so I can tolerate it and it gives good support. This gives me great support that is still comfortable. It helped with my chronic neck pain and reflux. I also have better posture. I don't get seam show-through under any of my T-shirts. I'm buying another one!

Found this bra on clearance in both 32F and 32FF (my calculated size)! As I'm just starting out in my bra fitting adventure, I am unfamiliar with how Freya fits on me. I seem to need to size down in the cups as there was lots of gapping across the top in the 32FF. The 32F fit wonderfully. No wrinkles or gapping, gore tacks and straps are not digging/sliding off my sloped shoulders. The side wings (and so the wires) are a bit lower than the Panache bras I've been getting. With my wide roots, the wires seem to enclose everything nicely. We will see how I feel after wearing it a few hours.
EDIT 6/5/17
After several months, I have determined that the center gore is wide and too high did my narrow set. Too many days of wanting to rip it off soon as I get home. I hope these marks go away in a few months! Will be listing soon.

My first bra that truly fit-- I'm still trying to get used to how tight this band is supposed to be! This is difficult to wear at times, since the thin lining and seams within the cup are very visible underneath a thin shirt. My shoulders are narrow, so the strap has a tendency to fall off. The material also creaks when I move, which is annoying but not a deal-breaker.

My favorite bra that I own. I loved it so much that I purchased two! The fabric is cut to allow room for my FOT breasts and the band is a perfect fit. The underwire is also a bit wider to fit wider roots.
