This bra actually isn't a bralette, but an ordinary underwired bra giving the appearance of a longline bra, with the "longline" part being just decorative lace with no additional band or support. Two hooks connect the bra itself and three more hooks connect the lace. It seems to have been designed for straight ribcages, as the lower hooks don't fit snugly against my slightly V-shaped ribcage. Those who have a A-shaped ribcage or a larger abdomen will probably have problems hooking the bra without tearing it apart.
As usual with Freya, the band is quite large and stretchy, and the 32 I bought fits more like a 34 ... in most brands.
The cups are a bit on the smaller size with Freya. Wires are pretty wide and apex projection is pretty good, but immediate projection is a bit shallow, and the cups are somewhat closed on top. I'm very projected, full on bottom with narrow roots, but the bra still fits pretty well, so it seems to have a pretty forgiving shape. It should fit average projection and width, full on bottom or even shapes best. The lace on the cups has no stretch, and although the cups don't have a top elastic, they might be too closed on top and in the center for tall roots or very close set shapes.
The fabric is a little bit rigid and scratchy on the cups, but the bottom lace is soft and stretchy, and the bra is comfortable. The antique rose colored lace is beautiful and makes a gorgeous lingerie set.

For future bra shopping, you may wish to review cup width and projection at the wire. You side view shows the wire sitting on your ribs rather than snugging up to breast tissue. If you go down to a 32 inch band which your measurements suggest, you might find that wires on the ribs becomes tender. Post implants, folks tend to need bra brands and styles that have narrower cup widths.
In regards to projection, it does look like you could use a bit more given the wrinkling. However, comfort and does it look good under a shirt becomes important as a perfect bra is hard to find without alterations.
Regarding the gore, perhaps bras that bring the breasts inwards with a lower gore would work better. Other people have more experience and knowledge and may be able to help.
Go slow, big learning curve, lots to learn, your breasts will change over the next few years. Good luck with shopping for your new shape.
