This is my best fitting bra to date. Given I suffer some degree of the Freya wrinkle (http://www.venusianglow.com/2011/07/freya-and-curvy-kate-pucker-diagonal.html) in the previous Freyas I've tried (Arabella and Morning Meadow cut families), I fully expected the Gem to be the same. Instead, the cup fits like the proverbial glove. The only problem I have with this one is the too-wide gore. But I've yet to find a gore that actually fits between my breasts, and it's not uncomfortable in the least, so I'm counting it as a fit.

The band is quite stretchy, enough that I can't feel it at all. The cups are a little stiff, enough that the emptiness of the cup on my smaller breast is obvious even after shortening the straps, but it doesn't particularly show under clothing. I imagine they'll soften with wear and washing.

The straps seem quite stretchy on this one: I normally don't have to tighten my straps far at all, but on the Gem I have the slider almost up to my shoulder. Lucky for me they're fully adjustable so there's still some space to play with.
