I LOVE this bra. So much so, that I bought it in the 32G after the 32FF was too small. Note - this is a newer Freya offering so the sizing is smaller per size than it used to be. The fabric is gorgeous and sexy and the lift is good. It's very comfortable.
This is a beautiful bra that really harkens back to the time (in 2010) when Freya bras were uniformly of extremely high quality and knowable fit. Although I've only recently purchased it, it gives much better lift, support and comfort than many of the more recent Freya offerings.
It's a very pretty bra that gives good lift and support. Also very comfortable. It doesn't stretch out overly on wear, but it is a bit looser in the band than I'd generally go for and it's true to generous in the cup. Not sure if a 30G would have been better...
This bra has a pretty firm band, which is really good for a strapless bra. It definitely stays in place, no poking or discomfort! It looks great under clothes and gives a nice round shape. The overall shape of the bra is also really versatile - the cups don't come up too high, but are still appropriate for a wide chest. Definitely my favorite bra right now!
I love this bra! It's cute, comfortable, and holds my breasts up high on my chest and I swear this makes it look like I lost a nice chunk of weight. I do have some puckering on the inside of the cups by the gore, but that could all just be its fit. Also, I have to constantly readjust because my breasts tend to slip out, but I'd say for now, it's all worth it.
I've always been a big fan of the deco. I like the rounded shape it creates, and the cleavage you get from it. I struggle sometimes with the tops of my breasts not necessarily entirely filling the tops of the cups at the end of the day-- I feel like a bit of settling happens as I'm moving around. I find it to fit more true to size than some Freya unpadded bras I have tried-- the FF cups fit basically like other FF bras I own, and I don't find the 28 band to be as loose as other unpadded Freya bras.
After owning several Freyas, though, I will say that the longevity of the stiffness of the cups leaves something to be desired. I find these bras to be best within the first 3-4 months of their life https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I tried this bra in white, and let me tell you, it's definitely pretty even though it looks quite basic.
The good things about this bra are that it looks nice, feels good, and is quite supportive. It has lovely detailing that pictures just don't seem to do justice to. I especially liked that the vertical cup seam and a tiny bit of lacy trim. It's a very nice touch I think.
The bad news about this bra is that it didn't fit me at all. I had massive quadboob on top, and slight wrinkling in the bottom of the cup. It leads me to believe that not only ...was the cupsize wrong, but it seems to be more for girls who are full on the bottom, which sadly, I am not.
I found the band to be stiffer than other bras I've worn, which I actually liked. The straps were supportive and fully adjustable, which is a bonus.
The underwire felt nice and didn't poke me at all. The gore however did not lie flat in the slightest, so I can't say anything toward gore comfort.
This is definitely a nice bra. Just not so nice for me Read more 88 more words
First off, this bra is nice and simple. No bells or whistles, but it doesn't need them either. It's nice to look at and feels very soft.
I wanted to try this bra for a while, but sadly it doesn't come in the size I usually wear (38GG). I figured however that since some of my 38GG cups felt a bit big that I would try it in a 38G. As I read about the bra, it seemed that it ran a bit large in the band, so I chose to get a 36GG.
I feel this was a bad idea. The band ...is very firm on me. I can fasten it, but after a little bit, it feels quite painful. I think if I get another of these, I will get the 38G. And for reference, the band does seem to run large, as it measured similarly to some of my 38 bands.
As for the cups, at first I wasn't sure if they were right for me. I didn't quadboob out of them, but it seemed as though the gore wasn't quite tacking. I probably would be better off with a 38GG, but since they don't make it, I'll have to live with this size. That isn't to say it didn't look nice. It gave my breasts a very nice shape, and I have to say I'm excited about it being a plunge. I really enjoy the plunge style, but it can be hard to find as sizes go up.
The straps of the bra are nice. They have a very firm stretch to them. They are also fully adjustable, which is a plus.
The band as I mentioned earlier is firm, but has a bit of stretch to it. It doesn't feel like a band that would stretch out quickly. It has 2 columns of hook and eye closures with the typical 3 rows to adjust for eventual band stretching.
There are also small bow details at the beginning of the straps at the top of the cup and at the top of the gore.
All in all, this is a very nice bra. Read more 251 more words
Too bad this bra is too big (I was sure I ordered the 32FF) but it would be perfect in the 32FF. It's a very wearable basic, with a sweet little twist. The lift is great. The band is very firm (in a good way) - It feels more like a Freya 30 than 32.
This bra is super sexy and it fits generously in the cups and back. I would def size down a back size. For centre balanced, close set breasts it's very good.
I think this would be a nice bra in the right size. The material is comfortable, it seems to be sturdy and well-made, and the color is pretty. It doesn't work for me, though. In addition to just being the wrong size, the cups are better suited to shallow breasts and the wires are far too wide for me. The cups are too big in general, but I think even in the right size, they would be less round than I like, and they are ridiculously full coverage, more than any bra I've owned. I think one would only be able to wear it with boatneck or turtleneck tops. However, I think this might be a great bra for someone with wider and softer boobs, especially if they are slightly shallow.
Very pretty. Polka dots remind me of the Deco Crystal in reverse. Unable to determine true fit since cups are too large. However, shape does appear to be typical Freya pointy.
I got this bra for a "Sexy Valentines Day Weekend" and never even got to wear it, because by the time valentines day rolled around, I had lost a enough weight to make this bra no longer fit. The band is now "it fits, but obviously the band is just going to get very loose".
As sexy as this bra is, it's a little on the rough side. The lace is a mesh with a ditched embroidered detail of flowers. the fuchsia colored material is not soft. The straps are stiff and not soft. Most of the times I had put this bra on to try and break it in, I would stretch myself putting it on. I also purchased a thong with this bra and have yet to wear it more than 5 minutes. It's such a shame this bra never got to see any action. I had hopes, and the way it is made it not come true.
Okay, I fudged the measurements a tiny bit on this one. It's juuust a hair too small for my larger boob, but it's so close I'm calling it okay. Totally gorgeous bra with great uplift and excellent shaping--my very soft, pendulous tits are way happy in this thing. It pulls them front and center, which is great, although not quiiite as high up as I'd like. The shape is fairly natural and softened--I'd prefer a little more forward projection, but not so much that I'm going to send it back.
The lace doesn't chafe or itch, which is great, but the bra comes up too high where the cup meets the strap under the arm. That part rubs and by the end of the day I want to tear the bra off.
Still, it's gorgeous and the fit is mostly good, so I'm keeping it.
Cute pattern, soft seamed in lace along the top of the cup. The underwire can her very stiff. The material is not as soft as I would have liked. The bra is a little of the larger size, so I would recommend going a band size down on this, because after a few wears, this bra had already gotten pretty loose on me. The straps are harder to adjust because of the cup material being sewn onto them. It feels like it should be a stable bra, but it offers very little in support, while being so stiff. The gore never tacks and often gaps away as much as an inch of a half away from my sternum.
This bra fits me well, but the shape is all wrong--it gives me a downward-pointing droopy SHAPE despite the excellent LIFT and SUPPORT of the bra. I think the cups are too deep for me--if I grab the cup and hoist it up, closer to my body, I get a more front & center look. The wings run too high under my arms too. Shame--it's a gorgeous bra.
When I first ordered this bra, it fit like a dream. Then it somehow completely lost all of the "snap" to it… It's overly loose and not very supportive. It has an adorable pattern all over the bra, but still is simple enough to be considered a "Wardrobe Basic Bra". It has a small amount of lace across the top of the cups and is not see through at all. It's soft enough to ware all day and all night (So yeah, you could sleep in it.)
I am in love with this bra. It's a cup size too small for me, but I will find a 32 HH post-haste! It's totally beautiful, with a pretty floral pattern and contrasting green lace, and the construction is sturdy as all get-out. It pulls me way front and center, with awesome lift--my soft, bottom-heavy, pendulous breasts are in heaven!
I picked this up for $10 on clearance at my local Dillards, along with a 30F deco in nude (for $5 - yays!) I've got a 26" underbust at the larger end of my normal weight fluctuations, so a 32 band is uncomfortably large on me. I know it's generally recommended not to alter bra bands down so far but, for $10, I didn't mind altering the band to see how it went. The fit was set for the unaltered size.
I was afraid this cup size would be too big because I always thought my breast shape was primarily bottom heavy, ...and I was getting a little gaping on the 28F at the top. The wires are actually just too narrow on the 28F, and getting this larger wire width seemed to fix the gaping problem. I think I have a shallow breast shape as described by venusian glow - my breasts aren't really large but they cover most of my chest pretty much up to my clavicles. I can't say this would work well on all shallow shapes - it seems it's suggested it doesn't, actually - but perhaps it works fairly well for shallow shapes in this size range.
The band is too large as purchased, but was altered down to stretch to approximately 27 inches. Starting with a smaller band size would be ideal, but it fits pretty well as it is now. This bra was compared to a 30F nude deco I purchased at the same time and the cups do not seem to be spaced or scaled any differently between the two. The only notable difference is the cups on the nude 30F appears to be a little bit taller. The cups on this ocean 32E might be a *tiny* bit more shallow, but I'm not sure if it's due to normal differences between sister sizes or differences between colors. I think I've read elsewhere the nude runs a little larger than the other colors.
Overall, I'm very happy to have tried a larger size and definitely see more decos in my future. Read more 245 more words
