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.
