What a beauty. Ever since I first saw it I wanted it so bad. I finally ordered one from a swedish site with free shipping to try it out. It looks just like the pictures, it's absolutely gorgeous. The colors are perfect. The lace is so nice.
This is a side support type of bra. The entire cup is made of stretch lace lycra. yes, the whole cup is stretchy!!! It doesn't have any additional lining, it's just the lace. It's very soft and lovely, not too stretchy either so you'll still feel supported. The straps are soft too and wide, and for once, they don't feel too wide ... set for me.
I can confirm it does have 3x3 hooks in this size.
The band is very TTS. In my previous experience in ~2014 or something, at around 32FF size, I found Freya to be very stretchy. This one is very good size for me.
on to the negatives. The gore. It doesn't lay flat, it goes sideways or whatever, like it flips over on itself. I know Freya is known to have soft wires in bigger sizes so I assume it's because of this, as well as it's pretty wide. Also it has a bit of a flare to it at the top,
The wires are wide as expected. however I have much less wrinkling than I do in other bras, probably because of the side support style, so for me, it's not that big of a deal actually in this bra.
And finally, sadly and a common occurence for me, I get a fair bit of wrinkling in the bottom of the cup.
I think the biggest dealbreaker for this bra is the gore. If it would lay flat and not flip on it's side, I'd probably keep this (or rather, return this one and order it somewhere cheaper lol because swedish pricing is insane). But yeah. Damn. It's so so beautiful.

Boo! What do you think the issue with the gore may be? Buckling from weak wires + heavy breasts? Or too much material / too wide of a gore for more close-set/narrow boobs? Combination?
I had different fit issues with this bra, but mine went back too. It *is* beautiful and it was really comfortable for me, though the wires were very wide for me as well. I would 100% pick this up second-hand later, but for full price I wanted much more uplift and rounding than this could my rather soft tissue. It encased my breast tissue beautifully in the 30J, but the elf slipper shape was too much for my sensibilities at that price point. Better luck next time!
