This is my first bra in a 28E, and the support feels amazing.

It is comfortable for the most part, and the band fits very snugly without being too tight. The cups created a rounded look and look great apart from the frill at the top being visible under tight t shirts.

The only complaints I have are that the gore digs in, but this happens to me with a lot of balcony bras so may not be an issue for others, and the cups are quite wide, the underwires leave a gap after my boob under my armpit, although they do not poke and are not uncomfortable, it doesn't feel as supportive as I'd like.

One of my favourite bras ever, once I moved the straps in. They are seriously wide set.

Good:
The cups are very compatible with full on top breasts and give me an amazing cakes on a plate cleavage.
Beautiful bra
Very low cut
Underwires are good at narrow-average

Bad:
The band is tight and not stretchy and awful
Straps are too long, not fully adjustable.
Wide straps

I don't really know with this bra, the band is really way too big. The cups seem too big but are much better when I pull the band tighter.

The band is very tight, measures 25 stretched, so this fits more like a 26 E/F than a 28E.

The band is way tighter than a 28, I can only get it to stretch to 27 pulling hard. My ribcage is 27", but I don't like very tight bands so this is no good for me.

It is labelled 28G, but M&S skip out FF cup, so it's actually a 28FF, although I'd call it a 28G really.

This is a lovely soft comfortable bra.

The band has been taken in to fit better, from a 30 to a 28.

Its very stretchy and good for days with lots of movement.

The cups are too small for me in this bra, but I would love to have it in a size or 2 bigger.

My only criticism is how thin the straps are, I know straps are not supposed to offer too much support, but these seem to do nothing at all.

This is an absolutely gorgeous bra, just a shame I couldn't get it in my size.

The russian doll print goes all the way around, and the colourful stripes on the top of the cup are really cute. The straps are thick, about 1" across, and the band is thick too which gives a lot of support, there's a tiny rubber strip across the top of the cups too, which keeps it in place.

The underwires are fairly narrow, typical of freya, but they are quite short too which is great if you're petite and have issues with underwires stabbing your underarms.

I can't comment too much on the fit of it, as it's not the right size for me, but I think it's quite true to it's size.

I'm probably going to buy this in a 28FF when it becomes available.

This is a really nice bra, but ridiculously sized, I feel it would be more true to a 30C/28D.

It's a good balcony bra, looks good under square cut tops/dresses and very cute with the matching thong. It's good for me because the underwires are short and the gore doesn't cut me like some other balcony bras, it provides enough support for someone with breasts of this size and the lace trim, and pleating down the middle of the cup are nice and don't show much unless under something very tight.

On me (28/30,DD/E) this bra creates a quadboob effect to the extent of more than 1 cup size too small, and the one time I wore it my nipples kept making an appearance. The band however fits nicely as a small 30 on the loosest hook and a 28 on the tightest, I'd say.

I will not be keeping this bra, although if it was still in stores (I bought it on clearance) I'd buy it in a bigger size and keep it.

Comfortable bra, underwire is slightly high and the straps could do with adjusting a bit shorter but an all round good bra.
