I really like this one! The fit is similar to the Panache Ariza, except the top edge on this one is quite rigid (as opposed to the Ariza, which is rather flexible).
The straps seem veeeeeeery wide, so I wouldn't recommend it to anyone without broad or square shoulders. Leaves your chest incredibly open (it seems even more open than the Deco to me), so should be great for open necklines. And it's cute!

This bra fits me well, but the shape is all wrong--it gives me a downward-pointing droopy SHAPE despite the excellent LIFT and SUPPORT of the bra. I think the cups are too deep for me--if I grab the cup and hoist it up, closer to my body, I get a more front & center look. The wings run too high under my arms too. Shame--it's a gorgeous bra.

Sigh. Not going to work. Re-ordered in a cup size up after I noticed everyone was saying it ran small in the cups. It seems to want to smash my boobs from top to bottom. I thought about altering it the way brasihate describes in her "making a pointy bra round" post, but I am no hand with a needle and thread, and I figured I'd be better off finding a few more bras that actually fit before I start dicking around with one that doesn't and trying to change that.
All I want is a cute, green bra :[

I got this bra in the "lime dot" colorway from HerRoom on sale. This is the first Freya bra I've ever tried. The band feels pretty stretchy/loose - it's not riding up yet but I can pull it quite a ways from my back (I heard Freya bands run pretty big anyway). I didn't notice until after I'd already bought it that all the reviews said the cup runs small - it totally does. The top of the cup cuts in on both sides, instead of having the usual problem where it's only on the left side.
The straps are wider than I like but since the pattern ... is so cute they don't look that bad. I wish the mesh were less see-through so that the cup would stay the same color as the straps, but that's probably got more to do with my skin color than the bra.
I've read that Freya bras are pointy. I can definitely see that... As soon as I realized it ran small in the cups I ordered another one a cup size up, so we'll see how that goes when it gets here.

Band fit comfortably, but center gore didn't quite sit against my sternum. This is probably due to the cups being too small, resulting in quad-boob and an overly pointy shape. The wires are lined in a soft material, and the mesh fabric seemed comfortable while I was trying it on. I also like the styling of the black material with tan polka dots and trim. The straps are extremely long, and I had to adjust them to the point where the slider sat on the top of my shoulder which could look weird under some tops and/or be uncomfortable while wearing a backpack.
Can't judge long-term comfort or durability, as I plan to return it.

Really cute bra. The band is okay on the middle and tightest hooks, but it's too loose on the first set of hooks. Overall, I think I'd be more comfortable with a 28 band.
Cups fit good, I get just a bit of overspill on my larger side, but not enough to worry about. I can't quite fill out the bottom of the cups, although it's better than I normally can do with seemed cup bras. (I generally prefer molded styles.)
The straps are somewhat stretchy, and while I do prefer non-stretch straps, these aren't so stretchy that it would be a deal breaker. I really feel like I get better support with molded cups, but for a seamed bra, it seems to have decent support... although if you have to run for any reason, things could get a little dicey.
I'm going to return this bra, as it's not really what I'm looking for right now. I would consider picking it up in a 28G in the future though.

This bra feels very tight, in a distracting way. I'm not used to bands so tight but it is not something I would want to wear, even though it measures large for a 28 band. Part of it I think is that the underwires press into my ribcage. The gore is also irritating and comes up too high on my sternum, maybe something that could be altered if the underwire was bent. I can fill the cup except for some wrinkling on the bottom, but due to the shape of my breasts and the shape of the cup, it makes my breasts look very pointy. The pointy shape also cuts into my breast at the top, it's not a quad-boob because the cups aren't overflowing, I am just slightly fuller on top than the bra allows for. The strap placement is good. On the loosest hook, I can stretch the band about 2 inches away, and my underbust measures 29.

Cute bra but the cups were huge on this one and so it did not work for me.
Also gave a very pointy appearance to my breasts.
