I love this bra - it is SO pretty!
The back is very stretchy - more like a 32 i think really. I could always wear it on the tightest hooks with my 29 inch underbust.

NOT the same as the gem-- which I loved. The cups feel slightly smaller and the band feels slightly larger. Look forward to measuring + updating.

I love this bra like all my Decos, but i don't like this special colour. But for the shape, it is a perfect push up as always https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
The only negative point is that the cups are very low at the armpit, which squeezes my armpitfat in a ugly way..

Unfortunately it is different than the normal Deco.. The band at the cup makes it more closed and tends to flatten my boob or even cut into it, white my Deco in the same size fits perfect. It is a little bit smaller than the normal Deco

I like this bra for the lightweight and fit, although by a few hours, it feels really tight in the band. I hope it will loosen up as I measure 33 and it does, too, so I think it's me swelling up.
The little buttons in the front center are cute. I think it still fits a bit low under the arms for me, but it's the best I've got right now!
I have wrinkles in the top of the cup, but I will probably just dart it and keep it.

Great! It's a lot tighter than my Panache Porcelain Moulded strapless... it feels firm and it feels like it should stay put.
Sadly the cup is a tiny bit too big at the moment, but I'll make do with that, it's fine when I put the straps on.

After trying this bra out of curiosity, I just HAD to get it afterwards. This bra gives a very nice, rounded shape, and the cups are moulded and give a nice cleavage without squishing my boobs too close together, or giving me quadboob. The 28F size fits me quite well, but I would have preferred a 26FF, if Freya ever decided to produce that size. The band is nice and firm, and the straps are a comfortable width. I wore a thin tank top that day, and while the colour peeked through slightly, the cup gave a very smooth line and nice cleavage, without any strange bulges https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Just a heads up though, this bra is definitely magenta, and slightly less purple than the picture suggests.

Gives a nice lift and shape, but a touch too small in the cup, unusual for this size for me. It's a near-miss; I keep wanting it to fit and thinking maybe it fits and then I readjust and it doesn't. I love the top embroidery, which looks like twisted DNA strands. Gore seemed a touch too high after a day's wear; unusual, though, as it's not higher than other bras I find comfortable; maybe the too-small cup exacerbated any issue. Also I'm wavering between trying to find this in a G or going up to a 36 band; have only worn this outside the house once, and it was comfortable in the beginning of the day and miserable by the end.

Well, the band is too loose. This is brand new and I already have to hook the innermost hook to make it stay. The cups are wrinkling at the top, but the wire itself seems to be a good fit; I think the cups are just too deep for my soft boobs. They aren't supported properly and they're falling down a bit to create an unfortunate pointy shape. Also, the wire doesn't extend fully to the end of the cup...

I ordered this bra from another Bratabase user, unfortunately it's a little too big in the cup for me. I have been figuring out my size between 30 G and GG, and it appears that with Freya I'm a G, but in everything else I wear GG/H.
The odd thing about this bra is that even though the cups are too big: loose fabric at the top of the cup; I am FoB, and the cup depth is a good inch bigger than my body. Yet the top seam of the cup lays tight against my chest/pec area.
Otherwise it is a beautiful and elegant bra, I'm very sad it didn't fit me!

Fit perfectly!

Very pretty bra. Tight band.
I had a 30FF freya deco that was way too big in the cups and the band felt quite stretchy. I am surprised how much smaller this bra is in the cups and band.
For having soft tissue I am pleasantly surprised how much support I got.
my quest for a deco will continue

I would love to try this bra in a 36F--it is gorgeous and seemed like it would suit my shape. Band slightly tight and cups too small in 34F.

fits well, only issue is that the right straps always slips off.

Band is tight for A Freya bra, cups run maybe a tiny bit smaller than average. Doesn't give me a shape I like, which is why I'm passing it on, alas.
The pattern on the bra is embroidered in, not printed, which I find is a rare luxury on a Freya design.

This bra was not mine but my sisters, though I have got my hands on it for data entry purposes. I've indicated how it would fit to my measurements to the best of my ability.
Freya Deco is by all accounts a lovely everyday bra with it's plunge neckline, moulded cups and sturdy straps. It's perhaps not the most interesting bra visually, but I think that as it's supposed to be a low profile, t-shirt type bra, this isn't really an issue. There's 3 rows of 2 columns of hooks.
The cups are fairly generous, my sister wears a 30G in most other styles (other Freya cuts, Panache Superbra etc) but a 30FF is her best fit in this bra. If you fit in the Deco size range (and how I wish I did), this is a very comfortable everyday bra which works well on fuller on top breasts, and also can give some of the push-up style cleavage which many 'mainstream' brands provide but is difficult to find in fuller bust brands.

This bra is a padded half cup with vertical seams and wide wires. It's very open on top and often recommended for wide root shallow boobs.
Although I'm usually a 30DD, this bra fit surprisingly well in 30D. It runs a tad big in the cups and I thought it fit me when I tried it on.
However after a few wears I noticed that the cups are slightly too small for me. The wires sometimes sit on breast tissue, indicating that they are little too narrow and the band might be too stretchy.
The band runs quite large. It stretched about 5cm (2'' ) within the first week of wear.
Unfortunately shortening the band is not an option for me, as there already is slight quadboob if I wear this bra on the tightest hook.
It's just a little too small overall, which is sad because I really adore the pattern and the cute look.

This bra is huge. It runs at least 2 cup sizes too big. It looks good with straps but without straps it falls to the side. Perhaps it would be better if it fit right.
The band runs snug, at least a band size small. It feels very firm and stays in place. It has sticky strips to keep it up.
There are multiple places to attach straps. There are four hooks which provides a sturdy back.
The fabric on the cups tends to wrinkle a bit.

thecurveshaveit I totally agree with you saying this runs about 2 cup sizes big! Squish1901 I tried this in 32GG - Freya ยป Deco Strapless (4233), and it actually fit quite well (I wear 32HH in Cleo and 70J/JJ in Ewa Michalak). The cups on the Deco Strapless run crazy big; much bigger than the regular Deco. You might actually be able to wear a 34GG!
It's incredible how big these run in the cups! Other reviewers have said the same. I wonder if they changed the fit at any point or if all deco strapless bras run so large in the cups? Not so good for anybody who actually wanted a true to size GG, but wonderful for those who are technically sized out.
I'm going to call and ask my local (2 hours away, so localish) bra store and ask if they've got any 34GG or 36GG deco strapless bras. Would be good to try them! I actually don't own anything strapless, mostly because I long ago ruled it out as an option. But if I had a strapless bra...
I feel if you could get a good fit in the cups, these bras might give quite a round uplifted shape so I'm eager to see if a 34GG or 36GG would work for me.
This bra is my favorite bra for lift. Not many bras give me lift so it gets a 5star rating. I also love the position of the straps although alot people do not like it for that reason. Also, the straps are fairly wide which I also prefer. This bra runs a little large in the band. Very comfortable most of day however like the majority of my bras tend to be a less comfortable by end of work day.

Love it! Gives me fantastic cleavage and is super comfortable.

I'm sorry this didn't work for you, but this review actually makes me hopeful that a 36GG in this might work for my 34J boobs...
