As soon as I put it on, I liked it. It doesn't show through my ribbed tank top, both in color and texture. I have a rounded shape that is true to size (unlike my Deco, which I feel adds two cups), the wires and band fit me well. Also, the single layer of sheer mesh will be welcome ventilation in the summer months, especially since it doesn't seem to lack in structure. The single layer also means that the seams are less visible than with other Freyas with satin or double layer mesh. With both the Zara and the Eloise, the mesh is somewhat open--the holes are ... maybe ~1mm--and that makes me think they'll be itchy. But everything else about it, I like.
Update, months later: It's been pointed out to me that the wires are too wide, or the band's too wide. Either way, it's too big. This makes sense, as the cup slumps off my breast when I loosen the straps all the way. I am more likely than not to end the day with some back pain. The very slight quadraboob is probably a result of the cut not quite meshing with my breasts.
The bra is good enough, but I'm looking for better ones.
