Brasmew

Slightly too big for me in both the cups and the band, but this was expected. It's still wearable but I feel rather jiggly. The wings come up very high for me, and the wires poke and stab my armpits. I think I prefer Freya's relatively lower wings because my breasts are higher set on my torso.

Typical Freya halfcup construction. Doesn't really work perfectly on my breasts but is wearable. One of my boobs is full on bottom, and the other is even. This bra gives my even boob cakes on a plate cleavage, but none for my FoB one. Nipples sit very close to the edge of the cups and occasionally spill out during the day.

Too small in the cups for me. Reminds me of Claudette Paramour Underwire Bra (101015008) .

The cups are too big for me (I'm typically a 30G), but I can make do with tightening the straps. I'm not going to comment on the technical aspects of the fit because I don't have the right size.
The bra is super comfortable though- it's my go to period bra for when my boobs are swelling and I just want to be comfy. The straps do rub my armpits slightly but not as much as my Cleo Lucy.

~Berry colourway, AW2013~

Looks and things: Very pretty - I love this colourway even more than the earlier ivory one. The materials and quality are definitely worth a lot more than the $35 I paid.

Band: TIGHT! Definitely more of a 28 than a 30. Unfortunately the 32FF Betty I tried was a very loose 32 band and slightly too small in the cups, and I'm not sure that a 'true' 30GG exists in this bra. I wasn't sure if 32G would be as loose as the 32FF so I chose to risk the 30GG and use an extender.

Cups: I think they're true to size volume wise, or maybe ... on the smaller side of a GG. The wires are definitely wide and the bra is definitely shallow. Quite a few people have mentioned that it's similar to the Curvy Kate Tease Me/Thrill Me and I'd have to agree.

The gore is kind of iffy and doesn't tack if I'm not sitting/standing very straight. I think this is due to the combination of too wide wires and too shallow cups.

The cups/underwires extend below the band of the bra and I really dislike this. The bra tends to slide down because of shallowness but then it's also pretty tight so it hurts my ribs.

Straps: too far apart for me. Also much too long for me. They slip off constantly https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I also dislike making it fully racerback with a clip because then it attaches just under my neck and the pressure there is uncomfortable after a while. I need to try it with an accessory that brings the straps closer but not all the way together.

It looks nice enough on, and the pictures do make it look like it fits well so I'm not sure about this one. I don't know if I want to keep this bra, but I may as well since $10 return shipping is not worth it for one bra.

Update: May 22 2014
I've kept it and find the cups are too big for me most of the month. I've taken to wearing it with push up pads at the bottom (hello cakes on a plate!). I can't really laze around or slouch in this bra because the underwires come too low and hit my ribs. It's pretty much reserved as a bra for going out in winter (padding + summer = bleeehhhh).
