The band isn't as tight as I'd like. Cups are a little too small. Otherwise an absolutely gorgeous bra! It's still wearable, but not as fitting as the Belen half cup bra from Comexim.

It's better for FOT, sadly it lacks the immediate projection to really work for me.

Queenie is a result of a bra exchange and it fits a lot better than what I expected. In retrospect, I think I went for it because of this beautiful purple colour. True to size both in band and cup, the band a bit tight, but hopefully will expand somewhat.
Update: after gaining weight this bra is now small both in band and cup. A pity, as it gave awesome cleavage - now it only quads.https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

In a sucker for purple bras! Unfortunately, this bra is not only the won't shape for me, but also to small in the cups or maybe just too shallow. Either way, it's not a great fit and it's too bad because it feels like a good quality bra and is very very pretty!

On first impression, this bra is awesome! I really took a chance with this once since there was so little information, and I'm glad I did. The cups are a tiny bit misshapen from the envelope, but I'm expecting them to even out with wear. Otherwise the fit is perfect. I also appreciate that the embellishments do not poke through my clothing.

Bra was too shallow for me at the bottom and too large overall. I did not keep it.

Alright.. I got this bra at the same time as the 28FF - Tutti Rouge ยป Mae Bra, so as I wash and wear it more, I'll be adding more information. This review is just my initial feelings about the bra.
Appearance: Again, gorgeous! It's a graphite, kind of silvery satin with black polkadot mesh and black lace in various parts of the bra. There isn't any black lace on the front of the band (unlike the Mae). It also has two red rosettes at the gore, and one rosette each at the straps. Something peculiar though, is that in the campaign shoot (what I'm assuming ... is a prototype model) the Queenie doesn't have the black lace running diagonally down the middle of the cup (from strap to gore). Then, in the stock photo for their Big Cartel shop, it shows that diagonal black lace, as well as some lace attached to the front of the band. However, now that I received it, it doesn't have the lace attached to the band (but I'm okay with that; I didn't really like it anyway) but it does still have the diagonal lace on the cup (which I would've preferred not to have, because I love the look of Queenie from the campaign, but oh well).
Fit: Alright, now for the nitty gritty. I got this in a 28G because I was afraid that it would be too shallow in a 28FF, and also, my 28FF Freya Deco Shape Multiway is just a smidgen too small in the cup. Anyhow, the band doesn't quite stretch as much as the Mae, which makes it feel tight. Then again, I've never worn a band that's technically small enough for me (I fluctuate around a 24/25" snug measurement), so we'll see how it goes. It has two hooks and eyes, but the band is decently wide, so it feels better than Cleo, per se. The underwires! Oh, the underwires. They are so wide. They nearly wrap around to my back, and I feel a lot of pressure from them on my ribs. Also, I noticed in both the Queenie and the Mae that the underwires are fairly soft, pliable, weak, etc. and I'll probably be bending them in a little to make them slightly more narrow. We'll see how that goes. The gore does tack on this though, probably due to the plunge construction. The cups are fully padded, but this is the main reason (other than the wide wires) why I now wish I would've gotten a 28FF. I fill the cups, but probably only because of the padding and slightly shallow construction. Speaking of which, I do get a slight orange-in-glass effect, but not enough to bother me. Also, the cups come up really high under my armpit (tail of spence). The cups have 4-part construction, and seem to give a slightly pointed shape at the diagonal seam. I'll see if that softens when I wash it, but probably not. The straps, again, are only partially adjustable, which is a bummer. They're slightly closer set than the Mae, and also satiny like the rest of the bra.
Again, we've got a problem with the knickers. I got the thong, just like the Mae, and on the label it says "M", but it seems to measure SMALLER than the "S" in the Mae thong in some areas, like the waistband. Weird. waistband laying flat: 14.25", waistband stretched: 18.75", waistband to bottom of gusset, laying flat (top to bottom): 9", widest part of gusset: 2.25", narrowest part of gusset: 1.25", gusset length: 5.25", total length (from front waistband through gusset to back waistband): 18.25".
And there you have it. Again, I'll be updating later, but hopefully this does well enough for now.

This is a wonderful bra that seems to be made almost specifically for me. Both the cup depth and wire width are spot on for me. The cups are a 4 piece construction, but give me a rounded shape. The band is quite snug. Queenie's cut is much more favourable to my body shape than Lottie, which was cut much too high. The centre gore is absolutely amazing. At 1.25" tall is doesn't dig into my sternum at all, which is pretty much a miracle.
The only negative is that the straps are still a little bit wide set for me.
