I was very excited to get this bra because my friend in a different size swears by it. For reference I'm a 28e, somewhat shallow, wide rooted and even to bottom full, often end up in 30dd because 28 bands are hard to come by.
This bra wants way more upper fullness than I have. Also the bottom is extremely shallow which is fine for me but seems like a strange fit. The wires are nice and wide. It has a leotard back and the straps are fully adjustable, which is great for those of us with very long or very short torsos. I have the black and purple colorway and I love it but the fit didn't work for me.

Update: so what I took for this bra asking for more upper fullness might just be that it wants more projection in general but with a high apex. The cup depth is bigger than what I usually wear but since it's so shallow at the bottom, i wasn't able to tell

My breasts: FOB, conical, wide and tall root.

This bra fits me better than other Freya non-padded bras as it has wider wires, a firmer band, only vertical seams, and a more open top.

As others have said, it gives a round shape. And generally I like the look - I wasn't a big fan of it when I saw it on hangers, but its one of those times when trying something on changed my mind.

I'm not sure the side panel is necessary for me (or most breasts around my size) - it isn't taut near my armpit (but neither does it gape).

I thought that the wires were wide enough for me until I wore it through the day and realised it ended up on my breast tissue, so have since bent the wires and it's much better...

Edit - lost weight so now band and cup are too big.

Freya marvel has done the impossible: allowing my nipples to point forward!
I am wide-set with splayed breasts and one of my few insecurities is how far off to the side they like to wander. When I wear this bra, my nipples are aligned with the sides of my neck (looking forward). The shape it gives is awesome. It's a fairly minimizing bra, especially from the front, yet it lifts rather well and still keeps just a hint of natural point. I also don't have any cleavage or headlights with this bra, making it appropriate for professional settings.
I have even-fullness and am slightly shallow (conical really). These cups feel ... like they were made for me. There is just a tad bit of gaping at the top of the cup, but it lays flat and I imagine I'll be able to fill it out with no quadding if I get PMS swelling.
My biggest issue with marvel is how the underwire digs a bit at the sternum. I may have to bend the wires a little bit to get it into a more comfortable shape [edit: I did bend them away from the sternum a little and they sit fine now]. The gore is fairly wide and tall so I would not recommend it to close-set people. Otherwise, I think anyone would be happy with this bra.

Excellent bra with great lift and probably the best shape I've seen under clothes. Unfortunately this one is just a little too big for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Super stretchy band, and I had some weirdness with the cup flaring by the wings.

Too small in cup for me and cup shape seems weird. I have ordered a 30E to see it that one will work.

I tried the Marvel one cup size smaller and it just doesn't fit right. There's visible gaping at the top, the side support part is not taut, and the wire ends are poking into my armpits. Very uncomfortable.

The wires are 2cm shorter than the wire channels!
(Wire channel length: 22.5cm, actual wire length: 20.5cm)
They are very wide and short, rather swoosh-shaped than U-shaped.

This bra fit pretty well in a 30E, though.
