I usually wear 28F but the cups on this one are too small. There is noticeable quadding at the tops of the cups, where the lace cuts into me in a way that looks and feels compressive. I think the cups may be too shallow for me and not allow for enough depth, since I'm full on bottom and that usually results in gapping or wrinkling at the top instead of quadding at the top. They don't have much stretch "outwards" even though the top half of lace can stretch "upwards."
Otherwise, it's a nice bra with pretty and comfortable material and I would like to try again in ... a larger cup, like 28FF or 28G. The material seems really strong and sturdy, which might contribute to its shallowness because it won't stretch to a deeper shape, but it does seem like it'd offer a lot of support. I like that the cups are wide with side support since I'm wide-rooted despite being very projected. The band is firm compared to other Freya 28s, which I also appreciate.
Even though the cups are made of lace, it's a relatively strong and stable lace and the bottom halves have a very thin but extremely strong mesh as well. It seems like the stretchiness of the bra is different depending on the size, since I see other reviews reporting full stretch.
