Wires are a bit too wide, but not so much that it is uncomfortable. Love the pattern and it gives a nice, round shape.

I concider my usual size 28F-FF and I ordered this longline in 36D, a sister size to 28FF. I altered the band down, yes I know, a little grazy alteration, but it works okay https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The cups fit okay for me. The wires a quite wide, and they needed not be that wide for me, but there is no empty space in the cups and they feel comfortable. The cups give a rounded shape which I like. The wires are very stretchy and flimsy, but they seem to stay ok in their shape when the bra is worn.
ETA. oops, I noticed that the ... center gore doesn´t touch my sternum, and if I push it, there is quadboob. So the cups are after all a little bit too small. It is wearable though, and the shape is okay. The fit is just not ideal.

There is a 5 hook fastening, but only 2 columns!! Cannot understand why https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> But I do alterations very routinely, so it doesn´t really matter. Straps adjust all the way. It is a very nice bra!

My shape / size seems to be changing so I´m not sure if this bra "runs small" in the cups or not. My boobs are shallow and this bra works with them.

This bra is just beautiful! I love the color and the bird print. The fabric is soft and the longline is comfortable but flips up a bit in the front if I bend over, etc. The cups run a bit small, i was getting quad boob is the beautiful thing. Gives good lift and shape, but I think I need a size up or need to lose some boob weight.

This is my go-to bra for comfort, and it got me addicted to longlines! I love how the band stays firmly in place and I don't have to re-adjust during the day.
The elastic straps in particular are super comfortable because they stretch with you during wear yet also retain their elasticity with excellent spring back. The textured top even keeps the strap gripped firmly in the adjusters. This is a weird thing to comment on, but whatever.
Also, it is a beautiful bra, obviously.
The band has stretched after a few months of wear and will need to be altered down 1-2 inches soon, but it is very easy due to the completely straight band, and worth it for my favorite bra.

The JFI longline fit in terms of the Bratabase fit criteria.
The band runs tight/true to size and the cups run about 1 cup size small.
However, I found that the cups slid down over time, and the wires are too wide for my breast root.
It's only a minor issue, but an indication that the bra is probably too shallow for me.

However, the 30E fit much more comfortably than the 28F - Freya » Just Flew In Padded Longline Bra (1393).
I would have kept it in a 30E (it looks great under T-shirts!), but I have enough bras that fit me well.

My impression is: This bra runs small in the cups compared to other Freya halfcups and longline bras.
The cup measurements of the 28F are similar to the Freya Ingrid Padded Half Cup (4453) in 30DD. I compared them side-by-side and they have the same size.

The band runs tighter than expected in Freya. I had 30 bands that stretched out too quickly and ended up giving no support at all, so I went for a 28 in this bra.
Not the best idea.
I can close it, but it feels uncomfortable and restricting after a while. It didn't stretch out much with wear either.

I tried a 30E (see 30E - Freya » Just Flew In Padded Longline Bra (1393)).
First of all, the wider band fixed the problem of wires digging painfully into my sternum. Such a relief!
It fit much more comfortably and still gave proper support.

To me, the rule "size down in the band in Freya" doesn't prove true for their longline bras after all.

Such a cute bra! It is really tight on me, though. I think it is because I am quite heavy considering my band size, and I think my stomach is actually too large for the longline band. It is wearable, but I wouldn't want to wear it all day. The fit is decent as well. I love the thick, but non-molded cups. This is one I might hold into in hopes that if I lose a little weight, it might fit better.

Freya tends to rend big in the band, so I went down a sister size from what I usually wear.
The band was tighter than expected. It feels uncomfortable and restricting after a while. It didn't stretch out with wear. Not neccessary to sister size down in this style and I don't recommend the 28 band to anyone whose underbust measures more than 28" loose.

Another surprise was that the cups were too small in that size. I got quadboob and the wires were sitting on breast tissue at the sides.

I did a few side-by-side comparisons with some Freya halfcups and the cups of the JFI longline indeed run about one cup size smaller. They are nearly identical to a 30D Freya Patsy Padded Half Cup Bra (1223) in terms of wire width and cup depth.

It fits really great. I can fully swoop and scoop and nothing spills out. Maybe only the tiniest amount on my bigger boob, but going up a size would make it too big. It might not look as boobular as the 30DD did, but it's not worth it to have to tuck in parts of my boob. It still looks great! And my boobs are projected and full on bottom. People always say this is a bra good for shallow, yet it works for projected too.
