Damn cute bra! Cornflower periwinkle blue with white satin ribons and bows - screams girly.
True to size band with 3 hooks as the gods intended when crafting J cup boobs. Nicely stretchy yet seriously sturdy.
Quality materials & workmanship.
The bitch of it is that the wires are just too freaking wide for me. Also, I don't think the cup height scales down sufficiently as you move down in band size; it simply overwhelms the width of my torso & cuts into the front of my arms.
And the cup is still not the volume of a J; more like a GG ish.

Pros: It's pretty ish. It's practical ish. The quality is very good. It's comfortable and widely available in the US.
Cons: The band is large (which means it's probably true to size) and the cup a hair small, but the size range in this line/model is limited. The lace edging along the top of the cups will show through some fabrics.
Final analysis - I'd have it in a 34HH, but they don't make one.

Runs large in the cup but is (as expected) still too small for me; it doesn't quite cover my nips.
Received from Nsm who adjusted it because she found it too large in the band. The band is great for me and I LOVE the versatility of the convertible straps. I have some clear straps that I got with a different bra and they work out great for racerback tops. I didn't get the padded straps so I don't know how those would be. The straps are pretty wide-set in the front, which is no issue for me, but it could be for more normal or narrow-shouldered girls.
It's really beautiful with the 2 faceted buttons at the gore and the satin trim along the top and over the wing stitching.

Just received from another member and love it! It is very tight in the band, but I am betting it will stretch within the 1st couple of wears as my other EM's have - and I do like 'em tighter than most people. It's a very practical light beige with flat seaming, lining to prevent temperature gauges, really good shape. Straps are hard to adjust, but the half-full person says that means they won't become loose. I was taking a chance on this size because EM sizing isn't consistent. I find this band true to size (a VERY firm 34) but smallish in the ... cup (I'm typically a G/GG).
I usually love EM's narrower underwires but these are wider and the cup comes up too high on the outside; it digs in to the front of my arms - however, I am short so a taller/longer-torso'd girl would be fine. Also, breaking in a bit may fix some of this. I've worn it 3-4 times now and each time it's a little less irritating on the sides. I'm going to try to bend the outer edge of the underwire just a little, too.
I wear a bra probably 23 hours a day, so my comfort rating is based on that. I realize most women don't do this, but I expect a bra to be comfy - literally - all day long. This one is good for about 9 hours right now.

An incredibly beautiful bra that I am unable to evaluate because I didn't get the right size. I have the feeling it would look and fit great if it came in a 70L/75K based on how much too small the cups are. I feel like the band is pretty generous and the materials are stunning. Construction quality looks good.

Bright!!! Cup seems 1-2 sizes too small but otherwise lovely quality.

Preliminary impressions: it looks/feels good, may be a cup size too small and requires an extender for the first few wears. It is very open on top.
Update after wearing for a few months & losing a few pounds: It's now perfect. The band fits great on the middle set of hooks and I don't have any quadboob. The wires a little wider than I need but more than wearable and waaay better than any UK bra. It's actually quite comfortable and looks great on.

This was the result of a gamble on eBay. I hadn't tried Freya before and it was cheap second-hand. The band size is good (probably a little stretched from wear). The cup is at least 1 too small, maybe 2, but I wore it a few times anyway because it's really cute. The shape is good (if I overlook the quadraboob) and it's very comfy. In spite of the details (contrasting embroidery, lace trim & seaming), it is surprisingly smooth under most clothing.
It is lined (not padded), which is nice. It's a 3-part vertical construction, so the shape is excellent for my fullish-on-top boobs. The underwires are narrower than my other Freyas, which is also good for me.
The band has 2 hooks, but as usual, I wish it were 3-4 in this cup size.
The straps are similar to the Antoinette, but a little thinner so they're actually good-looking with the plaid fabric. They are fully adjustable.

Extremely close in size/shape/fit to the red 32H I have but I've heard that it's normal for black bras to be smaller than other colors. The band is very firm, on the smallish side for a 34. Three hooks.
The cup is probably true to size, but it's hard for me to say because it's a wide, shallow fit and I have narrow-root, rounded boobs. The top edge cuts into my upper fullness in the center just a tiny bit, but I have empty space on the outside. The wires come up awfully high under the armpits and the front of the cup is very wide ... and cuts in under my arm. This has gotten better after wearing a few times, but it doesn't meet my admittedly unreasonable standards for long-term comfort. I think it would be GREAT for someone with a) wide, shallow boobs or b) migrated tissue to reign in. It would be BAD for someone who was very full on top.
It is NOT a balconette in this size. It is full coverage. Maybe it would be less overwhelming if I were taller.
Gawdawful ugly straps, but comfy & fully adjustable.
It is very practical. Seams, lace detail, etc. are largely invisible under clothing. Very good quality materials & stitching.
Bottom line: I wouldn't buy it again, but I will wear it out or die trying.

Just put it on and OMGSOCUTE!
Ahem. I gambled on the Meg in 30H and won, so I bought this one expecting a similar fit/look. The Meg is deeper through the apex and both higher and wider in the middle. The straps seem to be a little further apart.
I should have gone up a cup size in this one to an HH because I have a touch of quadraboob on my larger side. However, this may be the best combo of lift and support I've achieved EVER.
The band is great; typical Cleo in that it runs a tiny bit large. If it had 3 ... or 4 (close) hooks, it would be even better, but that's not how they roll.
The real story is how the construction of the cup brings my boobs to the front and center. I look like I've lost weight and I'm perilously close to actual cleavage! There lace top of the cup at the seam with the bottom fabric bulges noticeably under clothing on my larger side, but I feel sure that's because I need a larger cup.
The straps are fully adjustable.
The wires are a tiny bit wider than most of my Comexim/Ewa bras, but they're still pretty darn narrow.
The colorway is so freaking cute, and the sweetheart neckline is low, open and sexy.
Seems well made with quality materials.
