This bra is for more narrow set breasts with projection. For me, this cuts in to my wide root boobs. The gore separation is perfect and doesn’t lean forward or cut in.

I suspect the bra I received has been mislabelled: it seems to me to be a 70FF (or perhaps a 75F), so it's very difficult to accurately review it.
The nitty gritty first: band has 4 sets of hooks (hallelujah and frabjous day!), straps are fully adjustable, gore is low, lace is stunning, colour has to be seen rather than photographed.
As for the fit ... in comparison to my other SM cuts, the band is very stretchy -- so either the Frappe runs quite loose/stretchy in the band or I have a mislabelled 75. I suspect the former. If it is just a stretchier than normal band, it's ... not overly significant: I'm a between-bander in EM bras, normally needing one extra set of hooks on the 70 band; this Frappe sits comfortably on the loosest hooks from the outset. So in fact the band on this one, whatever it is, is fine for me.
The real problem is the cups are swimming on me. Due to the nature of the SM cut, they are filled at the bottom and have a smooth line across the top, but there's no lift or support. The apex of the bra sits about a cm or so above where it should, and I basically have natural boobs hanging in a lacy sock. So either the Frappe runs large in the cup, or I have a mislabelled FF.
So frustrating! It's such a beautiful bra, and I really wanted it to fit -- but because I don't know whether it's mislabelled or just runs odd in comparison to the other SM cuts, do I assume the former and re-order a 70F? Or assume the latter and reorder a 70E?

I'm pretty bummed about it. I've never had any cup size inconsistency from EM before (4 SM bras almost identical and this one is just miles different), so I suspect it's a label issue. But the price/hassle of it all is so disappointing. I doubt I can get it returned now -- living in Aus means the return window has closed before I even receive the bra. And do I swallow the cost of reordering? When selling this one on is likely to be difficult (because no one wants to pay Aus shipping costs)? Ugh. :(

This bra is stunning.
The flowers on the cups are slightly shimmery in a beautiful bronze.
It fits larger, the lace is slightly stretchy making my usual 65F too big for me.This bra is not owned any more

I really love the color of this bra and that I can use it as a skin tone bra. This bra doesn't give as much uplift as my sm margot because the lace is softer, but it is still a great addition. The back band is also a bit loose for my liking, but it's not terrible.

This bra didn't fit, but I have a detailed review of the 70HH version of this bra.

Absolutely stunning. So sad this is too small. Impeccable design, luxurious materials. This bra should cost twice as much as it does
