Pros:
Cups give a nice round shape
Side support
Gore tacks well to sternum
Cons:
Gore isn't tall enough for my breasts (causing quadboob)
The cup depth is too shallow
The band is too loose
Overall, I wouldn't recommend if your breasts are top heavy.

The Ellie was purchased at the same time in 2014 as 2 Curvy Kates, 2 Fantasie and the Flirtelle Anneliese bras from Brastop during one of their many sales. Sadly, none of these were right for me as the bands were weak and the straps gave too much bounce. The cups were supportive although that may have changed over time. I moved on from these in less than 2 years.

This bra is absolutely gorgeous and I WISH that I could fasten it. Unfortunately, the band is way too small for me; I bought it years ago from someone on Reddit when I was trying to figure out my bra size (so of course I could not return it). The embroidery is so pretty, and the construction feels solid. It also is a true nude on me.

Fits like a glove, super cute, though lace shows through clothing easily

First off: this is a really comfortable bra that hugs my breasts well. It gives me fair support. I love it a lot.
Second off: I'm not convinced the quality is very good. I have three of these bras and no matter what I spread them over; my boobs, a knee, a ball, the cup wrinkles a lot. I don't think the two layers of elastic lace are expanding at even close a similar rate, the top layer wrinkling a lot over the lower. The elastic lace that edges the cup varies from digging in, to being too large, to being just perfect.
That said, I still really really love this bra.

This bra is pretty much a clone of the Curvy Kate Princess Plunge, so if you like that, then you'll like this and vice versa.
I made the mistake of ordering both because I didn't know Flirtelle was a kind of sister company to Curvy Kate.
This bra is a gorgeous light peach colour, the type of shade that our grandma's undies used to be made of. However, it doesn't look granny-ish at all in style, it's so pretty and has a more contemporary touch with the style of 'Spiro' lace. I think it would look gorgeous on all skin tones because it isn't really a 'nude' or a 'latte' ... like it claims to be. The quality is top notch!
I don't get along with this bra for two reasons: it's too projected for me and I should have sister sized up.
Some info about me: I'm even vertical fullness with medium width and medium to not-so-much projection. I find Cleo Marcie to be a perfect cup fit, but it's too narrow for me. I like a low gore due to being close set and I'm a 34G to 36FF depending on band stretchiness.
It fits great along the top of the cup, I think it anticipates a hair more upper and inner fullness than I have, because the lace at the top sticks out a little, but it looks totally smooth under a cami so it's not a problem for me. I have a LOT of wrinkles underneath the boob, which for me usually means that I need a less projection there. If you have more fullness at the wire when supported, you may like this.
The second issue is that I find the band a little tight for me, and therefore the gore slightly painful too. This is probably because I'm in-between a 34G and a 36FF, so it's very true to size. I found the gore on this one a little worse than on the Curvy Kate though.
I think this bra is best for those who have a lot of inner fullness and need projection at the wire. It looks absolutely gorgeous and I would recommend it to anyone who isn't shaped like I am!

This bra was midsized, flimsy, and poorly constructed. The fabric was scratchy. The band was a size too small and there was no center room. Very disappointed.

Stretch lace provides the expected quad boob appearance, and wires sit extremely high in my armpits. Lace band also gets a bit itchy after multiple hours of wear. Good bra, just not for me.

Fairly comfortable. Underwire starts digging into chest after a few hours of wear. Straps are good, firm, closely enough set that they dont fall off my small shoulders all the time. Id count this as a teir 2 bra.

I have close set breasts and usually have a problem with the underwire poking me. This bra fit wonderfully, the gore was flat agasint my chest, didnt press my breasts on the inside or under the armpit. The straps were close enough together that they werent constantly falling off my shoulders. I love this bra, and would buy another, but it looks like its been discontinued!

Not a fan of this plunge bra. I kept it because WOW CLEAVAGE! Only with the right top though. Anything where my chest is enclosed (e.g. T-shirt) and I get unaboob.

Very comfortable - cups slightly too big for me so I went with the 38H

I've always really liked this bra and found it comfortable for most of the day. However, it is one that at night I am glad to take off as it does start to feel as though it is digging in after several hours of wear.

Had to return this because it fit so poorly. 30F is my typical size, and I had originally ordered a different bra from flirtelle in this size. Brastop does this weird thing where they give you a random bra from the same brand if they run out of stock of a bra before they can place your order. Yes I found it extremely obnoxious, but I'll probably still order from them in the future because of their prices.
Anyways this bra came out small in both the band and the cup. Laughably small. It's been a while since I returned it, but I don't know that I even got it to close. I may have, but most of my memories are just of how ridiculous it looked. I definitely checked to see if the cups fit without the band fastened. Nope.
The material also felt rather flimsy, and while I get that a "delicate" look can be very desirable, I was a little worried about snagging a nail or something.

Very stretchy band. I'm a solid 34 ribcage, and was able to immediately close this on the smallest hook. It's my best fit at the moment, but I'm looking for something a little more projected.

Just wish I had a slightly larger cup size, very comfortable and classy, live the shape and feel.

and just to be clear - a 30F is a cup size smaller than a 32F. The cups are in proportion to the band. so you should be a 30FF (or even G, some of the 32Fs look too small for you also)
Yeah I agree, I've tried G cups and they've all been too big. I'm sure some G cups might work, just haven't found any, 30 FF seems to be my sweet spot right now. Thanks for the feedback :)
But again, a 30FF and a 32FF are different cup sizes. A 30 FF is the same cup as a 32F. A 32FF is the same size as a 30G.
Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
Lots or immediate projection, but not quite enough centre fullness room. The cups are slightly too wide, as expected. I get some in-cup quading and straps are extended as long as possible so the straps are not quite long enough
Made of super soft no-stretch mesh, lined in bottom part, embroidered on the top part. Back of band is stretch mesh. Three hooks, no side boning. Sturdy supportive centre gore and wings. Straps are scalloped and fully adjustable.

Looks and feels too small, otherwise a cute bra.The rose pattern on the top is really nice and it gives a nice shape.

Were you able to measure the bra before returning it?
