I ordered a 28E in this because I read the cups in this bra are a little on the small side. It's slightly to big for me; There is a little bit of gaping in the top of the cup. The DD might be too small though.
The longline is absolutely stunning. It makes my figure look very good. It's a bit of a challenge getting all 6 hooks to close but it's well worth it.

Initially this bra seemed to fit perfectly, but after some wear it has turned into a prickly hell. The straps are placed to far apart for my frame, so they constantly rub on my underarms. I also think that the center gore may be to high because it also pokes. The under wire does not nestle at my breast line but hangs about an inch lower leaving extra space between where my bra ends and the wire begins. When my boobs are pulled forward they fill out the top but there is extra vertical fabric, if that makes any sense. The long waist band tends to ride up and fold in half, though it looks snug.

I have a shallow and wide root, and this shape is nice and open on top. I was worried Freya wires would be too narrow, but they seem perfect. However, I don't have quite enough projection to fill the 28F out (though I almost can right before my period).
Although I filled out the size 28E cups fully, the wires were too short and the cups didn't provide enough coverage near the underarm, so I decided to keep the 28F instead.
I wear the same size in this as I do with Cleo. It's more open on the top than the Cleo Marcie, kind of like the Cleo Juna ... (28F), but with better side wire and cup fabric coverage.
Note that there are only 2 columns of 6 hooks each, not the 3 columns found on the other Freya longlines in 30+ bands. Also, the shoulder straps are wide "industrial-strength" elastic (like on the Freya Ivy longline).
I find it comfortable (and it's really really pretty overall!), but some may find the gore too high - if you find the Juna's gore too high, you won't like this.

So cute! It seems to fit well, except I may have a problem with migrated tissue that I'm not sure this bra will help.

This bra looks beautiful. It's a very soft lavender, with off white lace, giving it a vintage look. I'm a sucker for longlines, so I bought this in a 28G, when my usual size was a 30FF, to accomodate the center gore. I say "was", since my boobs have gone up a cup size or so in the last few weeks (breast migration maybe? I'm 33 so they won't grow anymore!). As with all Freya half cups/longlines, this bra has wider wires and shallower cups than their unpadded cousins.
I'm not sure if it's me, but the band of this particular bra doesn't seem as big as the other Freya's (since Freya's are notorious for big stretchy bands). It's nice and firm.
Anyway, this bra will be up for sale since it's a cup too small for me at the moment. Needless to say, I already have a 30G.

I absolutely LOVED this bra when I first seen it, so when I found it in a size that MAY fit me on eBay for a reasonable price, I had to buy it! I don't think it fits me perfectly, not even okay, but it is not unwearable!
Design - The design is beautiful, and it is what attracted me to it! I always wanted a longline bra so when I discovered this, I was in love. Though, it is not cheap, so I was reluctant to purchase it not knowing at all what size I could be!
Cups - The cups are very soft and comfortable! Even though it ... is padded, I wouldn't say so. It is definitely more of a thickly lined bra as it doesn't at all hold its own shape if there are no breasts in it!
Wires - The wires are a nice length, I'd say they would be good for those with long or short torsos as they are sort of a neutral length! They are very comfy and do not dig in! Though, they rub my sternum a bit but I get this with nearly all bras! I also think they are slightly too wide for me personally.
Band - It is quite stretchy so I think you could get away with dropping a band size if you want it more snug, which I think is a good idea with a longline! I'd say it is probably a bit more stretchy than a 30 band should be, but that's my opinion (bare in mind I'm more of a 28 back).
Straps - These are nice and wide which I like, and are fully adjustable! It would be nicer if the pattern extended onto these though!
Overall, I think this is a great bra and gives a nice uplifted rounded shape for those with slightly sagging (I've had a baby), bottom heavy boobs!
P.s. This is my first Freya and I'm new to the correct bra size thing!

The width on the wires of this bra are perfect for my wide-set breasts, and the top of the cup is a perfect fit, however, the bottom of the cup is quite shallow, which does cause my band to feel a teeny bit snugger than I would like. The material is even more adorable in person than it is in pictures. The shape this bra gives is also phenomenal. GREAT lift, and a very round shape.
The are are only a real complaints.
1. From what I have seen in other reviews I am not alone on this; but the lack of boning in the longline causes the bottom of it to constantly roll up. This is pretty annying.
2. The wires are shorter than I'd like, so there is a little bit of side boob escaping.
Overall, the fit isn't perfect, but it's close enough that I'm willing to deal with the issues for the simply fact that this bra is seriously the more adorable thing ever.

So I only just received this bra today. Unfortunately, my breasts are asymmetrical so one of them fits perfectly in the cups while the other one bulges out a bit. The bra is very beautiful, comfortable so far and, unlike regular Freya bras which are pointed, creates a nice round and perky shape.
I am waiting to see if I will keep, return, swap or sell this bra. Maybe if I can track down an 28E in my hometown, I can get a better idea for which size fits me best.
Most of my Freya bras squish my left boob a little bit, so I would say this is true to Freya sizing.
All I know for sure is that I will be keeping my eyes peeled for more longline bras from Freya in the future!
