I think this bra is too shallow for me and a bit of a shape mismatch. It's not uncomfortable, but I get a lot of gapping in the center near the cups. Disappointing since this is such a cute bra!

Like so many others for me the straps are too far out causing discomfort. I moved the straps in a bit in the front and vast improvement. Otherwise, the fit is pretty good, I can wear it all day.

I was really hopeful this one would fit, since it was one of the recommendations for me. The gore is too wide for its height, causing spillage in the center. If it was shorter as in a plunge, the width would not be an issue. The gore tacks my sternum OK, but squishes the breast tissue up and out. The rest of the cup fits OK, not great. The top edge lays flat until I roll my shoulders forward, then it gapes. Also needs to be wider on the sides since there was side spillage. The band is a bit large. I had to use the middle hooks to start off with. Not keeping this one.

The cup on this bra fits quite nicely, but as usually with Freya bras, I should be wearing a 30. I have to fasten this bra on the middle or tightest set of hooks.

This was the first bra I bought on my search for a better fitting bra, and the first one with a size outside of the "bra matrix". At the time, my measurements said more 30F, but coming from a 38C the 30 band seemed absurdly tight and impossible to wear, and after trying on a few other similar sizes settled on a 32E. Now, my measurements are more in the 30G/GG range, probably from tissue migration. Despite this, the bra still kind of fits in a weird way? The band is definitely too big and has stretched out a bit, but there's a lot of fit issues I ... normally have that aren't present. I think somehow the incorrect size makes up for the totally wrong shape (I have another Freya padded half cup in what should be my correct size, and it fits REALLY strangely). What I think is happening is the bra's apex projection is fitting my immediate projection, and because I'm full on bottom and this bra is open on top, it's not causing quadboob. At least, that's the only thing I can figure. I wouldn't recommend other FOB ladies try to recreate this fit, however, as in person it's clear the cups are too small (despite no quadboob). Anyway, it's a really lovely bra and it will always hold a special place to me as the first step on my bra journey!

Fits very cleanly and smoothly!

I've tried this bra in two different sizes and both didn't work so I'm guessing the shape is not right. Might be better for full on top shape.

The cups gape on top, the wire is too narrow and the straps are set too wide

I really like how this fits with one exception - the sides are a tad low and some breast tissue spills over it. While it looks a little goofy when I'm not wearing a shirt, with a shirt it usually isn't noticeable. I wasn't planning on it fitting that way, but decided that I'm happy with it. My other bras offer side support that holds it all in, but sit rather high, so it shows in the armholes of some of my tank tops. I don't have that problem with this bra. This is my first half cup, and I LOVE it. I have really really soft, malleable ... breast tissue that sits pretty wide and this one really pulls it in and pushes it up and makes it appear a bit more rounded and fuller on top. It has a bit less coverage and more cleavage than my Cleo Juna (6461) , which is awesome in my book. One tiny other complaint: the material is a little weird and maybe a bit rough? It's not uncomfortable, but for the first few wears it rubbed on my armpit and made it tender. My Freya Secret Garden Padded Half Cup Bra (1373) fits similarly but doesn't rub because the material is satin soft, so this leads me to think it's a bra issue and not a fit issue.

TL;DR I highly suggest giving it a try if you're on the fence about it. It has been great for my soft/shallow/wide breasts, even if I've had a few issues in the armpit.

I really like this bra, however, at first I didn't think it fit because it took some adjusting and the band seemed long. Although lightly "padded" there is no thick foam or anything. It is definitely a push-up but pretty comfortable. You can see the vertical seams through clothing, but not more-so than other seamed bras.
