Very good quality, lift, and projection. I love the material, it is absolutely not scratchy (I hate the lacy, sheer bras all UK brands seem to be crazy about). Can definitely recommend for bottom-full breasts.
Please be aware that the band of this bra is not true to size. The 28 band is more like a 30 band. The cups are true to size.

6 month check in after an entire year of searching and finally finding a replacement for 30DD fearne at a smaller measurement, which was not the business.
Fearne in this size has much wider elastic straps which are heavily reinforced along full length so stretch is limited to about half the full potential. The underwires are a low set short, wide U shape and moderately stiff, there's still a good bit of give to them compared to Panache wires. On the whole this style feels fuller than my bravissimo mae or marguerite, which feel moreso than fantasies' elodie and estelle
The depth of the cup is the most ... interesting aspect of this bra. It's made from a bonded satiny poly fabric which is smooth and non irritating, it has no mechanical give in it whatsoever. There's a slight side support feel to this style and is more 'open' or roomy in the immediate inch out from the wire that I personally find to be a great relief as cups which are flattening or vaguely conical in build don't work at all with my hard breasts' or how their roots protrude directly outward from chest wall.

Band runs loose; it fits me quite comfortably and I'm usually a 30. Cups are too tall at the sides, and there's a lot of extra fabric where the top of the cup meets the strap (which is a little wide for me). The underwire could probably be a smidge narrower. The shape looks good from the front, but from the side and 3/4 view it oddly flattens the apex of my bust. The underwire slides just the tiniest bit down from my IMF, which makes me suspect there's not enough projection.
The pattern overall is very cute, and I'm considering buying a cup size down, but a little torn still.

As mentioned by other reviewers, the band on this bra runs loose. The cups are a little too wide for me and much too tall at the sides. Despite this, the wires are more comfortable than I would have expected; based on reviews Freya tends to have softer wires so that makes sense. I'm center full and projected with what I think are fairly narrow roots and overall this bra just wants my apex to be further out to the side, which gives me an odd shape. I may try 28GG but I will be returning this size!

For reference. I am usually a 30JJ or 32J, depending on the stretchiness of the band. I am center full and slightly full on bottom. My root is short and slightly narrow. I need a lot of immediate projection. My tissue is fairly soft, and my shoulders a little narrow. My main fit issues tend to be not enough immediate projection and too high cups and gores. I've yet to find my ideal bra, but I think it would be a cross between a balcony and a plunge (almost a balcony, but with a gore height that is somewhere between the two, and a little narrower straps)
This bra ... runs extremely large. The 30 band on this bra passed the backwards band test, but on the looser side. The cups were about a size, maybe two, too big (Because the cup was rather high, maybe 2 cups on my short rooted, full on bottom breasts, but maybe only 1 size if you tend to fill the top of a cup better than I do.) The cup width was nice. Slightly wider than I need, but narrower than many bras and not so wide that it would have been uncomfortable. It was hard to determine if there was enough immediate projection with the overall size issues, but I think in the right size it would be an "almost enough and passable, but not quite" situation. The gore was higher than I need. I couldn't tell if it was so high as to be uncomfortable, though, in this size. The straps were placed very wide. Although my shoulders are somewhat narrow, this is very rarely an issue that causes a problem for me, other than cutting in a little at my tail of spence. On this bra though, the straps were set so far out, that they were hitting right past where my shoulders end if completely vertical. I am not going to try a different size at this time, because although it would fit many of the fit issues, I think the straps would still be an issue for me.
The quality overall looks pretty good. The only area that looks a little cheap is the stretchy part of the band. It seems like the type of fabric that would start to run quickly. The straps are nice, with some stretch, but still very firm. They feel like they would be very comfortable.
Appearance...meh. I'm going to be a harsh critic on this, but I've yet to see any bra at my size that I don't find old-fashioned and matronly. This is no exception. Not the worst that I've seen, but I'd hate to show it to anyone. It didn't look bad in the pictures of smaller sizes when I bought it, but at this size it's not cute. The pattern and edging on the lace was kinda cute. The pattern on the cups looked a little like a grandma's curtains from the 70s.

This is an odd bra. It is an okay size, but the shape is a bit odd so I'm not sure about the size. I usually use 34 band, but in this the 32 is just perfect. The loosest hook is snug and firm, but comfortable. I find this bra really projected, so that's the shape. The lace part could have a little of strech. I would say that the cup is definitely large enough (if not even too large), but the shape might not be right for me. I am either FoT or evenly full, but I'm not sure if I have tissue more on the inner ... side or outer side.
This is not as supportive as I wished, but that might be caused by the cup being a tad too big for me. However it's quite comfortable, so it's a bra for calm day when I don't need that much support. I kinda would like to see if one cup size smaller would be better. The oddness of the shape is not too visible with clothes on.
I like the comfy straps and three hooks in the back. I will have to keep wearing it to form a better opinion.

Freya seems to run large in either the cup or the band. I've tried 34HH - Freya ยป Popart Balcony Bra (5002) , and the cups fit well enough - it didn't suit my shape, but it objectively fit. I still found the band a bit big on the 34HH Popart though. That's all to say that if you're considering this bra, try sizing down a cup before sizing down in the band.
The elastic at the top of the cup, as usual, cuts into my soft tissue and causes a quadboob effect. Not crazy about the gore width either. No complaints about the quality of the bra.

I don't really know this brand but I wanted to give a chance for that.
The bra itself would be confortable. It is a Jj cup but not smaller as e.g. in Bravissimo the K cups. The cup has 3 sections.
It give a rounded shape which I like. The bra is with additional wing wire I usually don't see it in other bras with this size.
Cons:
The band is too wide, it is like a 36's one, looser as any other band I have tried until now.
Straps are elastic, it is not too good for bigger boobs, because my boobs moving and cause pain in my shoulders.
The whole construction is weak for bigger boobs.
Pros:
Wide straps
Rounded shape
