I bought this when I was still searching for my right size. I thought it would fit without the cookies, but I quad a lot. It's sad because it's super cute and the wires are just the right width.

I got this bra from reddit as part of a trade. Thanks Albison !
This bra fits surprisingly well considering that it's a 30 band where I usually wear a 28 band. The cup is a little small and shallow at the wire, causing it to want to ride up during wear. Hopefully wearing this in will help that.
The gore is a bit wide, but it's not incredibly uncomfortable unless I'm sitting. Even then it's just slightly poking me, so bending the gore out a little might help. The wires are a little wide, but if I overlap the gore in the future that might ... help make it better.
The height of the cups is about the minimum I can wear without showing, so I feel like this is a good bra to use for my metrics. I like the wide straps, and they aren't too wide set (only a little). The cups are slightly small so if I bend over a little I get some tissue starting to bulge out. I don't fall out, so it's not very bad.
The shiny look is a bit more flashy than I would normally wear, and the strappy buckles are a bit excessive for everyday wear, but it's fine for occasions. The seams are a bit noticable under a normal tee, but I think they'll soften up with wash and wear. Overall pretty happy!

I wasn't initially sold on this colorway, but kept thinking about the fit so I had to buy it. This bra is almost perfect, so is perfectly acceptable for my normal use. The cups are a bit wide still (about 1cm on each side) but it's absolutely the closest I've gotten so far! It's sexy and extremely comfortable, and the straps adjust long enough! I'm very happy with this bra, and looking forward to finding more colorways in this cut to enjoy.

This bra is lovely and would be very comfortable if it fit. Too big in the band, too small and narrow in the cup.

Considering that Freya bands are a little bit more stretchy, I expected this to be a fairly tight fit, but I couldn't take a full breath! Normally 28 is good for me, 30 it is this time. The cups were slightly empty at the very top, but I expected that. Otherwise, if it really nicely. The extra band across the top and through the bottom helped enclose my tissue a little better even though the wire was too wide. It didn't feel empty, felt nice. Other than the band being too tight, it was comfortable.

As soon as I saw the color, I fell in love. As soon as I got it on, I was totally heads over heels. This bra is so comfortable! It's snug and secure. Even though it squishes my boobs a bit, I don't mind: it reminds me of a good sports bra. I don't feel like I'm going anywhere.
The cups are a bit wide as usual, but with the foam padding the cups are made from, it's not really a problem. There's a slight pressure at the top of the cup that's causing a slight amount of quadding, but I'm sure that will go away once this bra ... is worn in. The gore isn't too wide for me, and comes up to a comfortable height. Same of the side underwire, it's a good height and isn't a problem at all.
The foam interior is very soft, and the texture of the material is also plush and comfortable. The bra straps don't have a lot of stretch to them, so they feel a bit firm to me. The 3 piece vertical seamed top is definitely something I'm going to keep my eye on from Cleo (much like my Cleo Cassie swimsuit) and other brands. I feel like this cup style is my go-to for the moment.
The straps are kind of in an awkward place across my shoulder blades: right on top of the edge, so if I move my arms at all the straps slide over my shoulder blades. It hasn't caused any discomfort yet, but we'll see over time.
I'll update after a few washes and longer wears about how it breaks in.
Edit: I notice that the lower cup is a bit shallow on me, and the foam puts pressure on the base of my breast. It's not extremely uncomfortable, but it does become more noticeable as the day goes on. This bra has only been hand washed so far, and an attendant at my local suggested that a gentle machine wash might help once the blue color finishes washing out.
No issues with the straps yet! They still move around, but it's not actually sliding across my skin so it's not causing any chafing.

This bra is pretty nice and comfy on the tightest hooks. I got it for pretty cheap so I don't mind taking in the band when it gets too loose. The cups are a bit wide and wrinkle a bit from the side support on the inside. Considering the side support is loose and adds wrinkles in the cup when worn, I'll just cut them out. Overall, not bad.

This cup is just too big, nothing else I can say about it. 28DD is next next on the list to try. I really like the smugness of the band, it's tight but comfortable. It'll stretch out well.

This bra runs smaller in the band than I anticipated, much like my Ginger plunge. On the outermost hooks it felt fine against my ribs, but the gore told a different story. I added an extender, but that still wasn't quite enough. It took a gentle bend of the gore to totally stop the poking, but now it's basically perfect. The only issue is that the underwire on the left side is missing from the gore (I believe it was modified to be overlapping). It doesn't seem to cause any fit issues, thankfully. The fabric at the center tends to want to gap slightly more than the ... other 2 Comexim plunges I have (Ginger and Tropical Garden) but otherwise fits the same. The underwires are also a bit wider on this one, so they are sitting outside my IMF. It's not to an annoying degree though, so I'm not fussed.
Edit February 2024) I fixed the wire channeling to be closer together to hopefully fix the gapping issue, and it seems to have worked. This bra doesn't migrate like my Ginger or Tropical Garden, thankfully. It also now fits better without needing an extender.

I ordered a petite but received a medium. It doesn't fit.
