Love the style and fit. I bought it before I deciphered the difference between US and UK sizing. While it is too large, it is still more comfortable than many of my bras and it is so pretty!!!

The band is pretty stretchy. I can wear it on the tightest hook comfortably. Very cute bra, but doesn't work with my shape.

I bought this bra secondhand as my first attempt to find the right fitting bra. I love it, it's in great condition, just the cups are too big for me.

This bra fits very similarly to my 32F - Freya » Arabella Plunge Balcony Bra (5721) . The 30 is of course tighter but not uncomfortably so, about what I expect a 31-band to fit. The measurements also tell me that my feeling that the wires are wider is correct.
There is a strap gap again - as usual. And a tiny bit of space near the gore (unless bra has perfect side-support, I am rather wide-set).
Similarly to the Arabella, the straps are massive compared to the rest of the bra. They adjust fully and have coated metal sliders and rings.
I am rather fond of the drawing-style-print of the lower cup and the band. I am not sure about the polka-dots or the buttons in the middle. As usual I cut of the bows at the straps.

I need this one cup bigger, so I haven't worn it in a while. It's so pretty though. For reference my everyday driver these days is my 34GG - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) .
Typical Freya balcony design, the fit is Okay but the real reason I got it is because it was so pretty.

So, first of all, I bought this bra just because it was pretty, and I'm shallow like that.
Speaking of shallow, this bra is not for shallow shapes. I consider myself on the shallow side of average and there was a bit of room in the apex. Not too much, mind you - quite a lot less than, say, the Gem Balcony or Doodle. The top didn't quite cut in, but it left the upper panel wrinkly and sad. The lift it creates is moderate, and it holds up my boobs pretty happily.
The material is suuuper soft and the straps are nice and smooth and not those weird loopy ... Freya straps I'm so used to seeing. Unfortunately, personally, I'd say the bra is prettier in pictures than in person. The lime green used in the buttons and detailing doesn't sit well with my aesthetic, though I do admit the geometric sketches and handwriting design is really wonderful. The button gore and rectangular strap bows are really cute and it's so nice to not see girly bows everywhere for once. The band wasn't ridiculously stretchy, but it was pretty stretchy and the cups only managed to fit well-ish on the 2nd hook. As with other Freyas, the armpit-edge somehow gapes on me, which doesn't bother me physically but still.

Such a gorgeous bra, that when I couldn't find my size, I selected the closest one I thought I could pull off. It never did fit right, so I only wore it once, but I hoarded it for months because I didn't want to let go of it. I've finally found it in my proper size, so will happily be replacing it with one I can actually wear.
Fit is very typical of Freya's balcony style, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary in terms of shape and size here.

CONS
I am shape incompatible with this bra. I'm not projected enough so I get wrinkling and, being even fullness, it cuts in at the top of the cups.
It gives a pointy shape, though for someone with more projection, this may not be the case.
PROS
The cups separation works really well with my centerfullness.
The band runs true to size.
I am in between a 28E/30DD and 28DD/30D and I found the cup size to be good volume wise.
It's a gorgeous print!
CONCLUSION
This bra will probably be better suited to someone FOB with more projection. You may find it runs about a half size large in the cup.

This bra fits me like a true balconette should for a short root. Not overwhelming my boobs, separating them, Gore comes up to about 3/4 of my root and there is only a little bit of wrinkling on the smaller boob. Band is stretchy but not as much as the halfcup. Nice and rounded in shape. So you will want to size down in the band and up in the cup from what you normally choose. I have a nice rounded look in this bra and it made very well. Padded underwire channels are amazing.
Gore doesn'ta tack, but I have a lot of projection and I am closeset. Definitely not as shallow as the half cup. The top of the cup digs into my armpit a little bit on the outside edge, but not that bad. Very pretty and comfy bra.
