Since SS2012 - Lightly lined 3 part half cup
More...
This bra is discontinued.
This is probably the best fitting bra I've found so far. I love the fit of this. the 32 band fits my 33" underbust better than every 34" band I've tried. The half cup works great with my FoT shape and the cups and wires are not too tall for my short roots. I'm able to completely fit the cup with no wrinkling or gaping on the bottom or sides. It gives a very nice supported, uplifted look.

The reason why I got this bra was because I really liked how the Freya Fearne Padded Half Cup Bra (4093) fit me. Since this was somewhat similar, I decided to get it. Well... hmm... It DOES fit though, and the cut is very similar to the Fearne. However, I wouldn't call it "padded" as it would be more apt to describe it as "heavily lined". To be honest, I didn't quite like it as much as I wanted to. It's cute though. I got the "Ink" colourway, a dark blue with fuchsia lace ribbons/trimmings. Now, why didn't I like it? I suspect it's the material. ... It's too "slippery" for my taste and it's super stretchy. What I liked in the Fearne, I did not find it here. The bra just wasn't "firm" enough if that makes any sense. It fits on the loose/bigger end of the 34E spectrum.
What I liked:
The pretty colours!
For a "padded" bra, it's quite light so it would be good for summer.
What I didn't like:
The material - it was too "slippery" for my liking, even the straps slide!
The super stretchiness - the straps are stretchy too...
*Sigh*

Comfy bra, lightly padded but just enough coverage. Straps are quite wide apart for me personally. Very high quality bra.

This bra beautiful and looks great with tank tops, but the cups are too shallow for my boobs.

This is one of the Bratabase recommendations for me, and the fit has two main issues: first, the straps are set way too far apart. They curve right into my armpits and are very annoying. Secondly, the cups gape just below the straps whenever I move. However, they fit fine standing straight, even on my smaller side.
The band is a little snug, but it's not uncomfortable. It neither accentuated back fat or minimized it. If I had kept this one I would use an extender until it was broken in. The width of the straps doesn't bother me; neither does the height of the gore, (which actually surprised me, since anything taller than two inches sits on my center fullness.)
I like the polka dots and the neutral shade of pink, but I still don't like seams in cups (my personal pet peeve)....and these show way too much under my clothes.

This was billed as a plunge balcony; while it might be a plunge in balcony land, it's no real plunge.
The gore is high, and digs into my sternum. I'm close set, and although I wouldn't consider the gore to be wide, it's too wide for how high it goes on me.
The wings are relatively high, but they're not uncomfortably so.
Straps are wide set and dig into my underarms and slide off my shoulders incessantly.
The shape is rounded and mildly "cakes on a plate" and seems to accommodate my FOT/Even immediate projection rather well. The gore is too high to really have cleavage (for me).
I'm fond of the pattern. Polka-dots are nice, and color-wise it wears like a black bra.
I wasn't going to keep this bra, but it turned into my daily. It's not fun to lounge in though, I find myself taking it off when I want to relax at home. Also the band, while not a very snug 34 to begin with, definitely stretches out with use.

I chose this bra because it has three vertical seams and is a half cup, all factors that are good for those who are shallow and/or have tall roots.
However, the band seems very elastic and the cups seem huge! The band may be my issue as I measure 28 snug but sister sized up due to unavailability. Not sure if it is me, but I found the cup size significantly too large. As a reference, the Freya Starlet vertical seem bra I tried on (30DD) is MUCH SMALLER and I quad in that size If I were to try this again, I'd go for 28E.

I love the look of this bra (I really, really wish they made some plainer colors, though!) I do get some gore pain after wearing it all day, but its the closest I've come bra-fitting wise.

I like this bra for everyday use, but the lift isn't great for me. The band is also looser than I expected. I have gone down a few cup sizes so it no longer fits.

Wide/long wires. Not suited well at all for very fob shaped. Wide gore, about an inch.
Bra is practically impossible to alter unless you want do so some serious tailoring.
It is smooth under shirts, gives a nice shape assuming it fits allright.
