This bra seems to be made of stretchy material everywhere. Even though it is a 34, it easily stretches to 36. The straps are also made of a silky, stretchy material which is soft, but tends to slide out of adjustment. The inside padding for this bra is thin, and doesn't give me the feel of a foam dome. This bra isn't quite my correct size, but I can still get away with it because everything is so stretchy. The cups are too small, but my tissue migrates out of them throughout the day because of the stretchy band and flexible wires. I'm not a huge fan of this bra due to its lack of support, but I could see someone who was sensitive to fabrics and didn't need a lot of support liking it because it is so soft.

Freya Deco is the BEST bra ever. I only wish their back bands ran tighter. I have the kind of boobs that plunge bras are not good for... and yet somehow this just works for me. So comfortable and it's the only bra that really makes your boobs look normal >:]

I LOVE this bra. it's a shame I can't fit it anymore! So comfy and beautiful! great for narrow boobs /

Love the fit. Uncomfortable after a while but hopefully am still breaking it in. Using with extender at the moment. Smoother under shirts than I thought..

bought bra as very used, so take band length with a grain of salt. to me the band seems still quite firm, so it may not be as far from a new one as expected, but still, be aware. review to come later- since buying this i haven't worn it, because the first time i tried to it didnt turn out well. if i remember correctly, it was much too wide and also too shallow. may try bending the wires, but unsure if that will help much.

**EDIT**
finally around to reviewing this! band feels firm when worn, though not super supportive in my opinion. i think thats due in ... part to the worn out nature of this bra, and also to the material of the band. its the mesh stuff that freya often uses in their half cups. im a squishy gal and i dislike the feel of it, i like something thicker and sturdier. when its a thinner mesh with two strips of elastic at top and bottom, it always makes me feel lumpy, and those elastic bands are sturdier than the mesh so it feels awkward.

the cups are definitely too wide, though it mainly feels like empty space and less of a forward shape rather than a huge problem fit wise. the straps are in my pits, but i think i will bend the cups and see if i can get them narrower. it might mess with the band length then, but i will try it and see. because of how worn it is (bought it this way), its not as uncomfortable as usual to have the straps in my pits, because theyre softer. not sure if they will be a problem at work where im more mobile. the gore is low enough that i dont notice it being too wide, and the wings are a bit too low but its not a big issue for me.

all in all, its an okay bra, and i mainly bought it so i could have bras to wear to work (where theyll get wrecked) instead of wearing out my daily bras that i like. itll serve that purpose, and thats all i really want.

*UPDATE:4/18/17* so far i havent worn this much, if at all, because i find the band too snug and too flimsy. might still keep it just in case i lose a bit of weight, but im probably not reaching for it anytime soon.

**EDIT** ive added measurements, but ive worn it a few times so the band may be a bit longer. ive jut freshly washed it, and most of the time that brings the band back in if its stretched a bit.

NOTE: ive marked this as fitting in the cups, but one side fits well and one side is gaping. ive chosen to side with my well fitting side, since its the larger one of the two. additionally, the band now fits fine, but needed to be broken in with an extender first. i wasnt sure how to list that without it marking the bra as not fitting, so im ... going with how it fits now. the gore and straps are also technically too wide, but i seem to run into that everywhere, so im calling this a lesser evil.

technically, i think this cup may be too wide. i can wear narrower bras comfortably, and also the straps slide off from being too wide set. its still a ton better than most bras on me, so im dealing with it, but an ideal bra would be narrower, with closer straps, and an overlapping gore. the top of the right cup gapes a significant amount, probably a mix of that side being smaller and the straps being so wide that they get caught in my armpit and push the cup around. plus, the gore being too wide shoves the cup around and move how they fit.

the band on this was too tight for a while and needed and extender, but now is fine. i dislike the material of Freya half cup bands, because its a very thing stretchy elastic which lends itself to rolling, especially on squashier bodies like my own. instead of the two strips of thick elastic at the top and bottom of a thin stretchy elastic, i would love to see one uniform thick and firm material. i feel as though, when the band is the correct tension, i get heinous back fat.

im not a huge fan of the pattern, but this is one of my workhorse bras, so that doesnt matter much to me.

It fits!!! Gore tacks, but straps fall down often. Not off my shoulders, but obvious sliding towards the edge of my shoulders. But it fits!

I originally ordered a 38F or therabouts, maybe a 38E. Band was too loose and cup gaped a bit too. Reordered at 36F and it's a great fit. I know The stretches measurements might seem to small for a 36, but they are not. The band is comfortable. The deepest projection for this bra is center lower quadrant, so excellent projection. I purchased the thong too. This is a very pretty set!

Love the look of this bra and I adore the back! It is unusual for me to find a bra that isn't locked like Fort Knox in the back. The gore lays flat, the band is fairly stretchy, the straps are fully adjustable, and the bra is comfortable. I do get a little bit of quadding along my larger breast. It is t enough for me to get rid of this pretty bra. I will need to look for a smaller band soon though.

I tried this and Patsy from Freya and this fit better for me - I do get some very slight gapping at the top of the cups throughout the day, but that's not a big deal for me. Not noticeable under a t-shirt, so it doesn't bother me.

I think this bra is too shallow for me and a bit of a shape mismatch. It's not uncomfortable, but I get a lot of gapping in the center near the cups. Disappointing since this is such a cute bra!

Underwire poked on the sides... so it was painful to wear. Gorgeous bra, tried to make it work.

Updated on Apr 08, 2017 Flag this

The band was good, but the wires poked on the side. It also rode up in the fronts, perhaps due to my body shape. It's really pretty, though

My tolerance for wires and wide gores is nearly zero. My review may reflect my frustration with bra manufacturers and current level of pain after wearing this for 3 minutes.

1. The straps are wide and nearly identical to those on Wacoal La Femme.
2. The gore is 1" wide. Too wide for my close-set pair. La Femme's gore is nearly .5" lower than Deco and more comfortable, but still too wide.
3. The cup edge shows through my capsule wardrobe's t-shirt: La Femme did not.
4. The foam is thick, but doesn't add much volume which is great for me.
5. The band stretches to 28". And, because the wires were sitting on my breasts, I used a full extender.

My breasts are screaming, and I wore this for three minutes. Thankfully, I will soon be wearing Kindred Bravely's French Terry Nursing Bra.

Wires bite, literally and figuratively.

Freya seems to run large in either the cup or the band. I've tried 34HH - Freya » Popart Balcony Bra (5002) , and the cups fit well enough - it didn't suit my shape, but it objectively fit. I still found the band a bit big on the 34HH Popart though. That's all to say that if you're considering this bra, try sizing down a cup before sizing down in the band.

The elastic at the top of the cup, as usual, cuts into my soft tissue and causes a quadboob effect. Not crazy about the gore width either. No complaints about the quality of the bra.

This is one shallow half cup. After having worn a few Wacoals, this seems a cheaply made bra.
Cons:
1. The fabric is not so soft.
2. The band is a single layer of mesh.
3 The Gore is 1.1" wide: not a good choice for close-set, center-full breasts.

Advantages:
1. Cup lining is smooth and thin; doesn't add bulk
2. Straps are .75" wide
3. Pattern is cute https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

Wide, shallow breasts may adore this bra pattern, but it is not an appropriate choice for my immediately projected, center full, close-set breasts.

Bought this on BraStop, did not fit! I think I would have to go up a cup size, or the bra was just made for more separate breasts. Beautiful bra, though. Good design: two vertical seams, 5 hooks, lined, and a vibrant salmon pink. It ticked a lot of boxes for me for "perfect bra" but it just wasn't meant to be.

Nice material, make and design it was just too big in the cups for me, especially the top.

A huge disappointment for me; the realisation just kicked in that longlines are not my friends. Besides the bra being at least a cup size too small, I just can't stand the feeling of it. Maybe sensory issues, idk. Meh
