The wires are definitely a bit too tall but otherwise this is a great fit. Very sturdy and encapsulates from all sides. The look it gives is almost but not quite pointy.

Great shape, but think I need one size larger in this than the Arizona. My CK Arizona is quite comfy, whereas this one in the same size sits away from my sternum, causing the bottom of the elastic band to dig into the front of my chest wall. The band on this is also firmer.

The overall look is very forward and projected, and the wires are more narrow that most CK bras I've tried in the past. Definitely a close cousin the the Arizona. The seams are smooth, and the bra does give a sooth look under most clothes, but thinner tops will show lines, especially at the top edge.

There was a review on Figleaves that said you needed to be boneless to get this on and I thought she was exaggerating, she really wasn't! I tried from the bottom up first, made it about two inches above my knees. Ok, top down then. Awkwardly got both my shoulders in and then got stuck with the whole thing crunched up under my armpits and above my breasts.

Looking back, this would have been a logical stopping point, but I forged onward. Once I was able to wedge my breasts, one by one, past the fabric and wires, I was able to get it all into ... place. And it looked BEAUTIFUL!!!

The center panel has a double layer that makes it more opaque, a great solution piece for semi-sheer blouses. The crotch has a cotton gusset with a bra band hook enclosure towards the front, so it is adjustable in length. The panty is not quite full coverage, but the way it is constructed, with the fabric folded on itself instead of seamed, leaves absolutely no panty line. The fabric of the body has very little stretch, it is a very similar but finer version of the mesh fabric that makes up the cup panels of Freyas mesh bras like Untamed. The bra is not floating, like in the slip, but instead and intrinsic part of the construction.

The fit of the bra seem pretty much spot on to the regular Ooh La La, and to Freyas other mesh models. I have been teetering between a 32E and 32F and picked the larger size for this and regretted it. The straps are much wider on the F , as are the wires, which I remembered about the regular bra after this arrived.

The black one is going back, but even after all of the hocus pocus of getting the dang thing on and off, I am really considering reordering it in the blush color. It really is that pretty. If I do reorder, I will sister-size to a 34DD and wear it on the tight hooks to try to get some more breathing room in the body portion to get it on and off. This won't be an all day item for me and I won't need all day support.

Other measurements: there is no defined gore length, so gore measurement was taken at the end of the decorative embellishments. Body front from center to crotch 17.5", body back from base of top ("v") to end of gusset attachment 19.5", hips of body at widest point 14.5", waist of body at narrowest point 10.25". Please bear in mind that I took these measurements flat and the rear does have countouring seams that this will not account for, so this is just a rough guide.

TL;DR: Very pretty, very hard to get on.

This bra is pretty for a t- shirt bra. The band feels tight to me, the cups seem accurate and maybe a bit shallow at the bottom. The moulding is very soft and flexible. The entire bra seems well sized for a petite person. The straps are a bit more centered than my other bras.

The band is definitely loose on this one. I think the cups are fine, and a just being thrown off a bit by the band. The shiny fabric of this bra also shows wrinkles really well, so I don't know that it is the best choice for asymmetry issues. Also, the embroidery really shows through tshirts, even the little circles on the bottom fabric. I'm not one to really worry about my seams showing, but if I'm going to get a plain beige bra like this then I'd rather it be a bit more multi-purpose.

I've sent this one back and I doubt I will try it again in another size.

Beautiful bra! In real life the red color is a tomato red, with a very slight orange undertones (no blues) and is so nice. This bra had way too much volume in the top of the cup for me, leaving it very baggy on the top and sides. The bottom of the cup was great, as was the depth. I am quite FOB, so I think this would be a much better fit for someone who had fairly even breasts.

This is one of my favorite bras, looks-wise, very cheerful and summery. The cute little wooden buttons on the gore are a nice change from bows. When I bought it I was right on the 30/32 borderline and the fit was great. I promptly gained 5 lbs and am now firmly in 32 territory and this bra feels awkward with an extender.

The shape is a nice bridge between natural and round. The gore is nearly high enough to contain my very soft tissue, but vigorous movement still requires some resettling. These padded half cups are definitely more shallow than the mesh balcony plunge styles Freya makes.

This is a great bra for petite women, this first bra I have ever had that I did not have the straps falling off my shoulders. But I think it is more suited to a shallow bust than a deep or pendulous one. Still, I wore this for quite a while until the band stretched out. I do think it stretched rather quickly but I did wear it often, and during the summer, so it is hard to say.

The peony/limeade color combo made a very nice skin tone bra for me (I am quite pale) with only the straps showing through, which I thought was very fun for summertime. The 32E had quite thin straps, which I enjoyed, but the F I also tried had much thicker ones.

Nice and deep at the apex. Much narrower wires than other CK bras that I have tried. Love the overall short fit of this, perfect for petites.

This bra definitely needs more upper fullness than I have. I fill out the bottom quite well, even possibly overfill, but there is a lot of extra fabric and wrinkling in the top. The band is very firm and the straps are wide.

The bra is very pretty and made in an unusual color combination. The underlayer is a true pink and the overlayer is a mint green lace. The band, straps and even the hardware are also mint green. There are tiny pink bows adorning the straps and the gore.
