This bra actually isn't a bralette, but an ordinary underwired bra giving the appearance of a longline bra, with the "longline" part being just decorative lace with no additional band or support. Two hooks connect the bra itself and three more hooks connect the lace. It seems to have been designed for straight ribcages, as the lower hooks don't fit snugly against my slightly V-shaped ribcage. Those who have a A-shaped ribcage or a larger abdomen will probably have problems hooking the bra without tearing it apart.
As usual with Freya, the band is quite large and stretchy, and the 32 I bought fits more like a 34 ... in most brands.
The cups are a bit on the smaller size with Freya. Wires are pretty wide and apex projection is pretty good, but immediate projection is a bit shallow, and the cups are somewhat closed on top. I'm very projected, full on bottom with narrow roots, but the bra still fits pretty well, so it seems to have a pretty forgiving shape. It should fit average projection and width, full on bottom or even shapes best. The lace on the cups has no stretch, and although the cups don't have a top elastic, they might be too closed on top and in the center for tall roots or very close set shapes.
The fabric is a little bit rigid and scratchy on the cups, but the bottom lace is soft and stretchy, and the bra is comfortable. The antique rose colored lace is beautiful and makes a gorgeous lingerie set.
