Super cute bra! I would wear this one around the house non-padded.

I love the way the Longline style makes me look! It smooths all the way down my back and looks great under clothing.

This bra is very pretty (hence the close up of the embroidery). I didn't find it loose.
However, this bra is too small on my left side. It's frustrating because I get orange in glass going on. Yet, I find the wires too wide on the other side! Now, on my smaller right side, I would say only a little too wide (half an inch... didn't stop it being too much). It wasn't uncomfortable, I just couldn't stand leftie not fitting. It's not a forgiving bra for someone with one side bigger than the other.

I need a deeper cup. Yet 28H has too wide wires. ARGH.

I hate to dislike this bra because Freya used to fit me perfectly, but at GG plus they just scale weirdly - I miss their narrow wires. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Let me just say I freaking love the aesthetics of this bra. The bird print...have you ever seen something so freaking adorable?! The lace is so pretty and the lilac color is precious. The longline shape is supportive and gives it a vintage feel.

The band on this bra sometimes rolls up. I wish the band was more snug. I also wish it had more than 2 columns of hooks so it would last longer. The straps are long, so it works well in racerback configuration.

As with most Freyas, I recommend going down to your sister size in Panache/Cleo. I wear a 32FF in Panache/Cleo, and I wear a 30G in Freya padded half cups, which fit the same as longlines.

I love this bra. The colours are so great, the cups fit similar to other Freya longlines. The straps seem a bit thicker, than other longlines, though, and have a textured diamond pattern on them to stop the adjusters from sliding around. It has 3 rows of hooks to fasten, but I think the band seems a bit longer than other longlines I have.

This has been my favourite everyday bra over the past year. It is extremely comfortable and from the start I have had no issues with it. Looks great under T shirts and although the straps are thick they have a cute polka dot pattern so I dont mind too much if they show. After over a years heavy wear it is starting to crease a little at the bottom of the cups and I now wear it on the tightest hook. However I have also lost weight since I bought it which may have also contributed to the change in fit. Good value for money considering the amount of wear I have had out of it.

I'm in between a 30DD and a 30E in this bra. There is slight spillage in the 30DD, but overall, I still get a nice rounded shape. The material on this bra might feel a bit scratchy at first, but after a few washes, it should feel more comfortable.

I'm in between a 30DD and a 30E in this bra. There is slight gaping in the 30E unless I pull my shoulders back. To reduce the gaping, I have to tighten the straps more, but that causes the straps to rub against the front of my armpits somewhat uncomfortably if I move around. The material on this bra might feel a bit scratchy at first, but after a few washes, it should feel more comfortable.

I acquired a 30GG Deco in "nude" (I wish they wouldn't call it that, although it's a very good match for my skin colour) a week ago. It has converted me to a) nude bras and b) true plunge bras. I can now wear several of my low-cut and/or light-coloured tops and dresses without needing a camisole underneath! Amazing!

The Deco gives me good but not outrageous cleavage and can't be seen unless I lean really far forward. Unlike most plunge bras I've tried, I don't fall out of the middle. And the nude colour is perfect for me - invisible under light-coloured clothes. ... (I resisted nude bras for a long time because I hate beige. I don't exactly like this colour either, but it really works.)

The 30GG fits me quite well. The band is extremely tight, and I might have tried a 32G, but other reviews say it stretches out quickly, so I'm hoping the 30GG will last me a while. I need to do quite a lot of swooping, scooping and rearranging when I put on the bra in order to fill the cups correctly and make sure the centre gore lies flat, and it's not my most comfortable or my most beautiful bra. But I think it will fulfil its role very well as a base for low-cut and light-coloured clothes.

I adore this bra. It gapes very slightly at the top of the cup, but overall, it's my best fitting and most comfortable bra at this time. I could wear it all day.

I know this is supposed to be the alternative to the Jolie, but....no. Just, no. The shape is a bit rounder, which is welcome, & its actually a bit -less- full coverage. The band is a softer, better material too. The rest: all bad.

The cup shape is not the same. It is not nearly as friendly to full-on-top shapes as the Jolie. There is a firm band edging the top that cuts in a bit & the gore does not tack anywhere near the way my Jolie's do.

But the worst thing for me was the edging along the bottom of the cups. The bra was comfy for ... 6 hours & then it was rubbing me raw, leaving sore red marks on my skin. I have this problem with many Fantasies & some Curvy Kate's that have a picot type sharp edging along the bottom band. Gem is just not the one for me. Until I find that perfect bra with the fit of Jolie, but a rounder shape, I plan to keep buying white Jolie's & dying them many fun shades with food coloring.

This is a very nice bra. It runs smaller than the normal deco in the cups due to the decoration at the top. Personally, I am not a fan of the colours, so I am moving on with this one.

This doesn't fit me as well as the short version in the 30FF. The cups on the longline are too wide and tall and my boobs don't fill out the bottom or sides. Really cute though. Might try the 30F? Maybe?

This is a pretty good bra though I"m not used to the 30 band yet. I actually fill these cups out unlike the longline version. On sale from Nordstrom so it was definitely worth it

Excellent bra for taller ladies! I have a long torso and, at 5'8", most straps are barely long enough this bra had inches to spare, <3

The wings on this bra are of the same material as the cups (minus padding) so they are very comfy and I don't think they would stretch too much.

This bra was too big in the cups and band for me, but I will definitely try to find it in my size! A huge thank you to andeepandee for giving me my first attempt at a fit!

Love the Deco, just the way wrong size. Band is quite stretchy.

Love the deco, this is just waaayyy too small for me (this was a pre-proper-measuring bra)

I want to love the Freya Deco (4234) because it shapes my breasts in the way I want them presented (round, full, smooth), and can be worn under practically any outfit due to the seamless molded cup and the plunge shape. It fit well pre-tissue migration, but now the band is way too loose (I'm in a 28 now and it stretched out). Also, while the wire width is good, the lower wings create armpit bulge. The cups are too shallow at the bottom (not enough immediate projection), and the top gapes if I slouch.

I have a few of these. They fit me perfectly at first but the backs have stretched out so badly that I had to buy bra extenders and sew them in on the wrong side so that I could add extra rows of hooks to tighten the back. Having done that they work reasonably well and fit well in the cup. I like the softness of the fabric and the width of the straps. The cups are nice and wide and the wires extend nicely to the side as I have tissue right under my arms.

Underwires slightly too narrow for wider-root breasts, but still comfortable.
Shape slightly off for full-on-bottom-esque shape.
Center gore is low, comfortable for "pokey" sternums.
