All the reviews say how pretty this bra is, and I'm sure that's true if you're into this sort of design. It's very girly with the floral lace and pastel colors, which really isn't my style. As far as I'm concerned, this whole range looks like it was designed by My Little Ponies, and it features my pet peeve of different front/back design, but I will wear it anyway because it's one of the best fitting wired bras I've tried.
The fit of this bra is closer to Panache or Cleo than the usual Freya fit. It's tighter in the band and smaller in the cups than many Freyas ... I've tried. I'd suggest starting with whatever size usually works for you in Panache, or going up a cup from your usual Freya size. In a lot of ways, this bra is a compromise for me. It's higher on the sides and gore than I'd prefer, but it's still comfortable, unlike everything I've tried so far with lower/shorter wires. I think I may have an odd shape, or at least oddly shaped roots. The wires fit comfortably in my IMF at the bottom of the cup, and they're wide enough to enclose everything on the sides, but there's a portion of the outside bottom of the cup where the wires seem far from my roots. These wires are a bit harder than some of my other Freyas, but not as hard as something like Cleo or Bravissimo.
The stretch lace on these cups works very well for me. It's not too tight, not too lose, has no edge to cut in, and moves well with my breasts. Even when bending over, I don't fall out of these cups. In a 28J, the top section of the cups is stretchy while the other sections have a lining that doesn't stretch. The lace isn't perfectly flat, but it's not so horrendously lumpy as to show through all clothing. Straps are fully adjustable, and I can pull the one on my smaller side a hair tighter to get both sides nice and snug in the cups. The back of the bra is made of a smooth and stretchy material that's very soft. Honestly, I would not mind a whole bra made of that stuff.

I almost ordered this in the same band and a slightly smaller cup size from another site. Seeing nowa the wire measurment compared to the cup width, I think the wires would be way too wide for me, and possibly not enough depth in the cups. The pictures on here seem to confirm that. Some Freya bras are too wide in the wire for me, which is too bad because I like their bras! I am close set so I was hoping this plunge could work, but I will probably skip this model. Thanks for sharing :)
