The Gem was a surprise: surprisingly narrow for a Freya bra and with enough projection for my breasts! The shape is a bit pointy from the side, but the design is so pretty that I'm able to overlook that!

I like this bra. I'm not normally much of a frilly bra person, but I thought this in the black/pink combo was particularly pretty.

The band size fits about one size larger, which is typical for every Freya bra I've tried. I am in between band sizes right now so it's fine, but once I get down into the solidly 28 range I'll probably have to alter this one. The cups seem to run at least a size large - the rest of my bras are all 28FF or 28G and I had to get this one in a 28F, and still the top part of the cup will ... be a tiny bit wrinkly on some days.

The wires follow the bottom of my breast well, which is something I have a lot of trouble with - they are often a touch too wide (which doesn't bother me) and sit way farther down my ribcage than they should (which does bother me).

I did not find the shape to be overly pointy, unlike some people mentioned - and pointy shapes are generally a no-go for me. The seams do show a bit under clothing.
