Finally a wireless bra that fits!!! The band is much tighter than the wired deco and is sooo much more comfortable for me. I had previously tried the 28FF (my size in the wired deco) but this fits so much better!

Fyi, this is $40.50 on figleaves.com (ships to US in approx. 1-1.5 weeks) while it's $58 on all the US bra sites https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I ended up getting it for $34 from figleaves since they had a sale.

This band size is perfect for me, but alas the cups are far too big. They wrinkle under my breasts where they are not filled in, and they gap at the top especially on the exhale. I love the smooth, sleek look of this style and will be looking for one in a proper size.

Super sexy bra with a comfortable band. Cups are too small, creating quad-bood, especially when scooped in from the outside. After wearing for a while, the top of the cups also chafe, but otherwise the fabric is comfortable for lace mesh.

Gives a great, lifted shape. Fits well at first, as long as breast tissue is pushed towards the outsides of the cup. However my soft breasts quickly fall towards the center, creating a quad-boob effect and are not adequately supported in the bra.

This is a bra that is known for running shallow. I've seen it recommended for shallow boobs with a broad base so I figured I might as well put the bra up here and do my review. I have three Freya Retro 34F worn to death. This might be a tad more pointy than the others.

I've worn this bra for years. I didn't exactly scope when I used it however, which is now pretty obvious considering my cleavage and quadboob in this bra.

But the more disturbing thing is this: The cups could easy be flatter on me without compromising comfort.

To make this bra sit flat I would need to have a 32band, tighten the straps like madness and size up in cups. But by then I would have wire distortion from Gehenna.

It seems I simply cannot win with padded bras.

Bought this instead of the 30F because I was told Freya bands are a bit loose. It was slightly too tight when I bought it - I could close it but not even a finger would fit between it, and it left very angry red marks on my skin. Wore a bra extender for a while and after a wash or two I don't need it. I prefer my bands tight so this is perfect for me.

I may be encroaching on a 30G so while I don't fit completely after scooping and swooping (plus migrated breast tissue) I put this down to my own boobs and not the bra. I do, however, have a little bit of space in the end of the cup. I'm assuming it's simply a narrow cup and I have wide beasts.

This bra is very comfortable, and the shape it gives me is very good. I am happy to see Freya coming out with larger cups/smaller bands in moulded and plunge styles!

This bra fit well on the tightest hooks when it was new.

This bra was generously donated from another bratabase user for my mother to try. Will update fitting!

UPDATE: I know a lot of people consider the Deco to be very stretchy, but to me, it feels very firm. I've only washed it twice, and it hasn't loosened up much at all. For me, the level of stretchiness that Curvy Kate's Showgirl bras have (ie, Thrill Me, Fleurty) is perfect when I'm wearing my correct band size. I feel supported but not choked. In my proper band size for the Deco, I feel very constricted. Maybe it's because the cups are too small (My bras that fit are 30H/30HH) and my breasts are pushing against the band?

BAND: The band ... of the bra is too tight- so much that when I sing, I have to unfasten the hooks so I can breathe deeply enough! The fabric of the band is very firm and supportive, but unfortunately does not stretch much. There are only two rows of hooks- three would have been better.

Although my underbust measurement is 30, probably a 32 would have been perfect. Unfortunately, all of the 32s that were available at the time would have been too small in the cup. I am thinking about getting a band extender so I can still use the bra. I have washed it once, and it didn't stretch much at all.

CUPS: This bra gives a nice, rounded shape. The cups are front and center, which is great for breasts like mine that don't have a wide root. Gives nice cleavage, but probably because the cups are just a hair too small for me (I probably need one cup size larger. The bottom of the cups sort of wrinkle/fold down under the weight of my breasts, indicating that the cup size is too small. The cups are one piece/molded and smooth- the fabric is comfortable on my sensitive skin and seems sturdy/well-made.

WIRES: The wires are not too wide, and they don't go up so far that they cut into my armpits. However since the bra is too small, I'm pretty sure there's some breast tissue escaping.

STRAPS: The straps adjust from the back. They are thick and well made, without being too wide. I was happy that they are not too far apart, so I don't have any problems with them slipping down my shoulders. No complaints here!

Overall, I like this bra, even though it's too small. If I could find it in a 32GG or H, I would repurchase it in a heartbeat!

Pros:
Wide, fully-adjustable straps
3 hook-and-eyes
wide and comfortable wings
Material is soft

Cons:
Cups are too wide
The coloring isn't the best
Gore is too high

The cups aren't the right material for me. While they don't bother me as the Gem did, they aren't molded and I despise the shape I get because of the lack of shape I get. The cups go too high on my chest for this to be a balcony and the gore separates my breasts. The cups are too wide and gap under my arms, but again, the wires don't poke as one might think. The color isn't the best for me, I think even looking at this bra has an odd look to it and wouldn't be one that i'd even consider trying on if it wasn't sent to me for free. I do like the design, but I would have preferred a different color mix.

If we all remember, in the beginning of December, I received the Carys Balcony and it was far from fitting. Less than a month later, I try on the Carys simply for the hell of it. Lo and behold!, it...

Band is really stretchy. If I didn't have to return this to England, I'd exchange it for a smaller band. As it is, I can wear it on the tightest hooks. Plus I love it & it's discontinued and I couldn't find the smaller size band so that's why I went with my sister size on this. It's comfortable so far. No poking anywhere.

Bra is a little bit too big in the cups and that's why the shape from the side view is just pointy and horrible. As I noticed with other plunge-balcony styles from Freya, this still doesn't suit my breasts.
Balcony style bras (Pollyanna, Arabella) in the same size (30gg) fits me perfectly!
Bra itself is very nice looking.

I like how this bra fits. This is my best fitting bra, thus far.
I have narrow set breasts, and the gore lays flat. No issues with the wire poking into my sides. Great for T-shirts or for V-neck tops. Gives a rounded appearance to breasts rather than pointy.

Negatives: I fit in the cup at the beginning of the day, but by the end of the day I have a little bit of a quad boob.

Very comfortable bra for close set breasts. It doesn't force the breasts to adopt an unnatural separated position if they are not meant to be separate. As a result, it is the first bra I have found where the center gore tacks between my breasts and the cups are nice and deep so it encompasses the breasts fully.

The bottom part of the panel (center gore) doesn't sit on my chest but in my case, that's normal since I have a mild case of pectus excavatum and I'll probably never find a bra that won't leave a small gap on the bottom. The important things to look out ... for, for women with PE, is that the underwires fully support your breasts and are not sitting on breast tissue, and the top of the center gore lies flat between your breasts, even though there is small gaping at the bottom.

My normal size with most Freya soft cup bras, as I am finding out, is 30F, but this one I have in 30FF because I found that with 30F, the seam where the fabric is connected to the meshy lines was pressing a bit on my breasts, where it created a bit of a bulging. With the 30FF, this problem was eliminated.

The only downside I found is that the bow in the center was a bit irritating to my skin (it touches my boobs a bit, that's how close they are!), but that was remedied by adjusting it a bit.

Really new to bra fitting -- still not sure how it's supposed to fit. It feels great though and looks awesome under clothes.

Updated on Jan 30, 2013 Flag this

The nude or 'barely there' color of this bra seems to run a tiny bit smaller in the cups than the red, but about the same as the black.

As one of Freya's older bras, it has a nice firm band (unlike a lot of the newer ones).
