My favorite. Snug and supportive. Smooth straps. Took a couple wears to break in and now feels really good. Unobtrusive. Great color. The stretch lace has heft, which I like. Feels strong. Some colors available for $30-45 on Amazon (US). Despite my initial concern about its comfort, I now think this is the most comfortable, well-fitting bra I’ve ever worn.

Cups are too big and too wide on the sides. If I go a cup size down the problem of my soft tissue still exists and I get this weird shape on the side where the strap pulls. I get cone shape too. I may try a 32DD just to compare. Although I think side support bras aren't best for center full gals.

Thanks for the comment. I have seen that one and may try it. The offbeat padded half cup is one that fits me well but I chose not to go with it because the lace is lumpy under t-shirts and that is not gonna work for me haha. Will have to give the plunge version a try though!
Elladeer I just posted a review of the plunge bra compared to the side support. I tought it might be helpful for you. There are pros and cons for both bras.
Thanks for the info. I want to try it but do you know if the lace is smooth enough to wear under light stretchy shirts?
This bra is ridiculous. The difference in cup depth and projection between the 28DD and 28E is atrocious. The cup is extremely shallow in the lower cup causing a lot of quadboobing. It's a totally different bra than the 28E: I would expect some small changes, but the cup heights are also drastically different. The wires are appropriately narrow, but I can't do anything with the cups being so shallow and tiny. I know black color ways tend to be tighter, but I don't think that's the issue here: I think it's just poorly scaled at the lower cup sizes. Very frustrating.

Cups too small. Returned.

Underwires seem wide enough but just barely. I get a tiny amount of wrinkling along the underwire but it is hardly noticable, MUCH less than most other bras I have tried. I love this fit and it is actually comfortable enough that I look forward to putting it on! My only gripe is that the gore is a teeny bit too wide and sits on abut half a centimeter of breast tissue combined. I don't have time to worry about that but it does get a tiny bit itchy in the middle as a result. Still love it enough to wear it for a 12 hour shift at work!

First time trying this brand and the cups run way smaller the Chantelle bras. Unless I got a dud bra. Gore lays flat and 32 band is great on the loosest hook. Def quad boob and spillage happening. Love the feel of the fabric. Will size up two cups.

Losing weight, changing shape and struggling to find a good fit.
This band should be ideal but it feels constricting. Also, the wires dig into my sternum because the cups are too deep. That's not an option to select when determining fit.

It's just not the right shape for me. It's sort of wrinkly but also flattens my chest, and it does quad boob. I will do a more thorough review later with pics, but for now I wanted to list it for anybody who might like to buy it. It's brand new with tags.

I bought this in 32D, 30DD and 30D planning to return the ones that don't fit. 32 D definitely feels a little more loose and inclined to shift through the day but no more than I put up with from some other bras in 30 band size. Cup seems to fit, maybe a little extra width at the wires. But I think this fits, will probably send it back to save money since the 30DD is just slightly better.

I’ve tried this in multiple sizes now. The 28G probably fit the best. The band is very tight, good thing. The wires are too wide though and I feel like my boobs get stretched into the cups horizontally. Fabric isn’t super soft, a bit scratchy. Not the right shape for me.

Did you know there is a plunge version of this bra? https://www.bratabase.com/browse/freya/offbeat-plunge-bra-5452/ I tried both and like the plunge more. It's not a super low plunge and still works to contain center fullness.
