This is the bra I was fitted with when I got properly measured as a 28DD a couple of years ago. The band support was initially great (especially as I measure up as a 26/27" ) but like other Freya bras I found it became elastically and loose very quickly. Same with the thick straps on this one - they had started unravelling to the point where I couldn't wear it after 6 months or so (maybe because I was adjusting them a little too much trying to compensate for the cup mis-fit..!).
Unfortunately the Freya Deco was not a great fit for me. The push up and ... cleavage, as has been frequently noted - is excellent, but like others with smaller cup sizes, I had trouble filling out the top of the cups (which come up very high) and once the band/straps got more loose, the cups really gaped to the point where it showed quite ridiculously under clothes. This is perhaps something particular to my size - I don't tend to fill out the top of cups very well, especially in plunge styles.
Having experimented with lots of other Freya styles since, I think it is the particular Deco style which doesn't work for my shape. I tried the Deco on again in store a few months back, but realised the cups were just too gape-y, and this is a problem that unfortunately would only be exacerbated when the straps become looser. Shame as it seems so popular & I would love to find something similar that fits well, cup-wise (i.e. something that can work as a t-shirt bra but at the same time look excellent with low cut/summer tops).
