I bought this bra in nude and black, the band is very supportive and firm. The wings are also wide, I ordered mine in a 28F and feel like it is tighter than my curvy kate bras that I own. My favorite part of the bra is the part that some people hate, the straps are quite wide and I love wide straps.

The seams are all finished unlike my cleo bras that I own, that is a huge plus for me since I do sew.

This is a wonderful everyday bra that gives a great shape under clothes and nice cleavage. It is very supportive. After swooping and scooping I appear to fill (and even slightly over-fill) the cups, but as the day wears on I do get some gaping at the top as my breasts fall towards the centre. It's nothing major though and doesn't seem to show under clothes. It just means I have to scoop myself back in when I get the chance! Overall a great bra that I wear a lot.

Size wise, I think this runs a little big in the band, and big in the cup. The band is a little loose for me- i have to wear it on the middle or smallest hook.

I probably need somewhere between a 28e and 28f. I actually have an 28e (it's almost a year old now), but it was feeling a little small and uncomfortable. The 28f feels comfortable. The cups do gap a little on the top (especially when I bend over), but it looks fine under fitted tees.

For me, it's a great everyday bra. I haven't found anything that looks better under fitted or tight tees. ... It provides excellent shape, and the cups are sufficiently thick and rigid to stop any show through.

Update: 6/7/13:
I've now had this bra for 8 months. This one hasn't seemed to stretched out yet, and is still in great shape. My chest has filled out a little bit more since I first got this- so it seems to be about right most of the time, with less gaping at the top.

It fits, comfortably. My boobies don't have much to offer on top, so I do have the slightest bit of empty space at the very top of the cup where the strap attaches, so it doesn't really bother.
First tried this one in a 30D but that was very much a wrong fit.
Then ordered a 28F and FF; FF is too big in the cup but the F is just fine. And it looks great under clothes. I normally wear a 28F, many say to size down in the Deco; but that doesn't apply to my full-on-bottom breasts. Probably because I'd be wearing an FF normally if ... the same bottom-breasts had full tops as well.

Update: After a few weeks with it it has hardly any stretch. I'm a 'true' or 'small' 28; so there's no excessive strain on the band. I do imagine that the bra would stretch out faster if you have an underbust measuring under 28 in it; you're challenging the fabric more. On me (25.5in) it's in the 'comfortable' stretch zone of the fabric; 'hugging' me and after 2 months I'm still being hugged on the smallest hooks with no riding up.
After trying a few other bras and wearing this one for a while I decided I like the Deco enough to let it be one of my 'go to' bras; that tiny bit of gape top I have left over doesn't bother at all; and the Deco is designed to give 'heavenly bosom' cleavage. I'll be getting my second one from another Bratabase user soon.

This seems to run tighter in the band than other decos, but that's definitely not a complaint. The cups are more like a small ff than an f, as with most decos.

It gives great uplift, huge cleavage, and a very rounded shape which I love.
The underwires are narrow, but still, a tad too wide for me.

I am totally biased because I love decos but, anyone simialar shape to me (high on chest, close together, narrow, balanced but slightly full on top) should try one of these bras.

Id say this fits slightly better than the coloured deco, it gives me a touch more lift and cleavage, and the band is more true to size.

I love the way this bra looks, especially under low cut tops, and white tops as it gives a perfectly smooth outline.

So a while back, I ordered a 28FF freya deco and 28FF freya (deco) hattie. When they finally arrived from the UK, they were both most obviously too big in the cups, despite frantic scooping and swooping. Defeated, I sent them back to exchange for a 28F in both bras. After all, they run a little big, right?

Finally, weeks later, I receive yet another package from the UK with my 28F freya deco in gorgeous black. It looks lovely! I was so excited to try it on, because beyond a little bit of gaping in the 28FF, it was very comfortable and worked with my shape.

Alas... Somewhere in ... between trying on the 28FF and receiving the 28F, my measurements seem to have shifted! Call it tissue re-migration or just plain ol' boob growth, but the underbust went down an inch and the overbust went up an inch. I get the good ol' quadboob(or shall we just call it rockin' cleavage?) in the 28F! Argh!

To be quite honest, though, it is not uncomfortable quadboob, nor is it entirely visible. There is still a relatively smooth line underneath clothing, and the bra is mega comfortable. For whatever reason, the band feels very firm, despite the previous reports of the deco being large in the band. I'm keeping the 28F, despite the fact that it doesn't fit properly, because sometimes a gal just needs a great cleavage bra, and the slightly-small freya deco in 28F is that bra for me.

On a practical note, I wore this bra to a wedding the evening after I got it. This was a wedding where I did a lot of moving around, a TON of very enthusiastic dancing, and lots of running up and down flights of stairs for the dear bride. My boobs didn't hurt, they didn't feel like they were moving so much, and for once, I kind of forgot about my bra. So maybe this is really how the deco is supposed to fit. Either way, it works for me, even if it is not a textbook definition of "fit" https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

After hearing all the good things about the Deco, I finally found one in my size and price range. I wear a 28F. The band is perfect. It is very snug and doesn't move much. The cups fit good. I've never had cleavage from a bra. In fact, I didn't know plunges were even supposed to give cleavage after wearing 34B and 34C in the past.

The quality is good. It feels sturdy and well put together. I got a pre-owned one and it still feels tight and new. It gives me great support. I love the rounded shape I get. It works great under t-shirts but under a ... shirt I wore you could see the top edge of the cup, not a big deal.

My only issue is kind of strange but doesn't effect the fit. The cup at the bottom kind of dents in near the center. It's worse when I slouch. I don't know if it is because I'm not filling or overfilling it. Like I said, it isn't noticeable nor does it affect how it fits/supports.

Overall, like others, I love the Freya Deco and want more colors. I would also like to try the half cup version.

Wire Length: 8.25"
Cup Seperation: 1"

- Seamless and modest, I don't have to worry about showthrough or bumps from embroidery or the edges showing under clothes.
- Quality seems to be pretty high. Nothing falling apart yet.

Cons:
- Band runs a little large so it feels loose and I have to readjust throughout the day.
- Minor differences in measurements between the 4 colors I have, this one is like a combination of the Nude and Black. Whis there was better consistancy in this brand.

Stretched Band: 28.5"
Band Length: 24"
Cup Width: 5.25"
Cup Depth: 8.5"
Wire Length: 8.5"
Cup Seperation: 1"
Center Gore Height: 1.875"
Wing Height: 3.625"
Strap Width: 0.75"


Pros:
-T-shirt bra
-Conceals
-Seamless and smooth
-Supportive

Cons:
-The band runs pretty true to size, save by a half inch, so for some this might be considered too loose.

*Update - Nov, 2011:
This has been fitting a little better than when I first bought it. New, it was too stiff and gave me headaches, but after a few wears and a wash or two in the machine it's softened up, but it still slides around on the middle and larger closures.
