This is the first strapless bra I've been able to wear comfortably and with confidence that it won't fall down or slip off. The long line definitely helps with the secure fit and support. The cups are nicely moulded and, unlike many other Freya bras, the top of the cup angles back in toward the chest. That's part of what makes this model work for me, the top of the cup sits smoothly against my chest. I also like that the cups provide a little more coverage compared to many other strapless bras I've tried. When I wore this bra under a strapless dress I've worn before with other bras and never got amazing compliments on, several people remarked on how well the dress fit me and flattered me. It was this bra that made the difference. I haven't yet worn it with straps, but I'm hopeful it will work just as well.

I wanted to try this bra because the standard Deco strapless is not really amazing for me, and the longline band looked very supportive. And it’s pretty as well! I like the pale floral pattern in the front. The cups are very stiff, and thicker than the standard Deco strapless. They measure about the same (meaning horribly wide and shallow), but the cup shape looks overall a bit more rounded here. The cups are taller than the Deco strapless in the same size, and this one has the thick seam at the top of the cups like newer Decos. The band has soft boning on the sides, silicone ... strips at the top and bottom, and 2x4 hooks.

These cups don’t seem to be really working for me. Without the straps, there’s a lot of gaping at the top. With the straps on, I get quadboob (although it doesn’t show under clothing). One reason for the bad fit is the high and wide gore, which is not even close to tacking with my close-set boobies in the way. And well, it’s just shallow. The band is very tight. Although it doesn’t taper much towards the bottom, the unstretchy bottom edge cinches my ribs and I’ve had to open a couple of lower hooks after a few hours of wear.

I don’t think that I've actually worn this as a strapless because of the cup issue, but I can imagine that it would be very supportive for someone with the right shape. It does, however, create a rather smooth look with the straps on under tight dresses and such. I think that a size down might even be better. In the end, the 28F - Freya » Deco Strapless (4233) is for me the least bad option of the ones I’ve tried so far.

I tried this model in three sizes, 28E (way too small), 28F (ehh.. ok-ish) , and 28FF (hilariously tall and big cups). The gore did not tack in any of the sizes causing a bunch of fitting issues. If it had tacked, the 28FF would have been the correct cup size, however the cups are way too high. The 28F fit the best of the three sizes, but was a tad small in the cup and I had to squish my girls into it. I could get away with wearing this size but when I put on a tank top over it, I just looked too wide. Returning!
