1. Cup poking tail of spence
2. Feel like doesn't fully filling the bottom of the cup, and the breasts are being pressed the top of the cup
3. I bend front and there are gaps between my breasts and the bra near armpit.
4. Band a little tight

I don't usually look good with plunge bra
breasts looks bigger since it is padded and moulded bra

This bra beautiful and looks great with tank tops, but the cups are too shallow for my boobs.

Sadly, this style doesn't work for center fullness. I have gaps by my armpits and quadding out the middle.

This is one of the Bratabase recommendations for me, and the fit has two main issues: first, the straps are set way too far apart. They curve right into my armpits and are very annoying. Secondly, the cups gape just below the straps whenever I move. However, they fit fine standing straight, even on my smaller side.
The band is a little snug, but it's not uncomfortable. It neither accentuated back fat or minimized it. If I had kept this one I would use an extender until it was broken in. The width of the straps doesn't bother me; neither does the height of the gore, (which actually surprised me, since anything taller than two inches sits on my center fullness.)
I like the polka dots and the neutral shade of pink, but I still don't like seams in cups (my personal pet peeve)....and these show way too much under my clothes.

My boobs: currently changing a lot cause I'm 21 weeks pregnant. Normally narrowish (but growing), FOB (but growing more even), soft tissue, low-set, close-set, projected/pendulous

I have another Deco half cup in 30F, and a 34F - this is basically the same review for the 34F. This 34E fits for now but is a tad small - I'm bubbling out of the top. I like that it mostly stays in my IMF even though there isn't a lot of room at the bottom for my projected boobs. It does a great job of hoisting them up. The gore is narrow/low enough to not give me too many problems. It's a great width for me, but as I grow with pregnancy/breastfeeding it may sit on some tissue and get uncomfortable.

I love that it's a great t-shirt bra while still being supportive. Yay Deco half cup!

This was billed as a plunge balcony; while it might be a plunge in balcony land, it's no real plunge.

The gore is high, and digs into my sternum. I'm close set, and although I wouldn't consider the gore to be wide, it's too wide for how high it goes on me.

The wings are relatively high, but they're not uncomfortably so.

Straps are wide set and dig into my underarms and slide off my shoulders incessantly.

The shape is rounded and mildly "cakes on a plate" and seems to accommodate my FOT/Even immediate projection rather well. The gore is too high to really have cleavage (for me).

I'm fond of the pattern. Polka-dots are nice, and color-wise it wears like a black bra.

I wasn't going to keep this bra, but it turned into my daily. It's not fun to lounge in though, I find myself taking it off when I want to relax at home. Also the band, while not a very snug 34 to begin with, definitely stretches out with use.

This is a fine bra, I just prefer *more* support from my bras since I have very soft, ample tissue. It is rare I can wear Freya, so in desperation for a bra Nordstrom could convert to a nursing bra for me I couldn't have done better. It is pretty. I prefer more lift/structure, and I have more tissue than this bra can really handle but the fit isn't awful aside from too big band/gore not tacking.

Pregnancy and longlines don't mix, so I've had to temporarily retire this bra. It never quite fit me even before I was pregnant, but I think it will probably work at some point in the middle of the postpartum weight loss process, when I can still fill the cups but don't have the belly anymore.

This bra unfortunately suffers from the band flipping problem that Freya longlines typically have. I've never had a perfectly flat stomach, but I wouldn't think I should have to size up in the band just for that - it's not too tight otherwise.

Other reviews I've read say this cut is wide and shallow, but I don't find it particularly so. The measurements seem to agree - a 1.6 depth ratio isn't that different from most other bras I own that people don't say this about.

I like this, except it gave me the weird armpit boob thing, so I think the cups are a little too narrow? Closest I've come in awhile, though.

The cups are SUPER huge. Weirdly, this claims to be a 30E, but the other sizing doesn't match up (e.g. the FR size is 65F).

My Shape: Soft, slightly pendulous, low set, narrow and short rooted.

This bra is a molded strapless bra that comes with optional straps. I got the cream colour. The bra is well made, and the construction is solid. It has an elastic around the band that is sticky, and 3 hooks at the back that helps to make it feel more secure.

This bra doesn't have great immediate projection, which is what I need... so there's a gap at the bottom of the cup and my breasts were pushing the bra down. This makes it unwearable for me, as my boobs then come out of the top. I sized down in this bra as I've heard the Deco's fit big, but I have quad boob happening too. Not sure if the quad boob is because the bra is too shallow or because it's too small. Either way, this bra is getting returned.

The band is very loose! I most often wear a 30 back size, but sometimes size up to 32 for comfort. This is the first time I've EVER wanted to size down to a 28. This 30FF is also the wrong cup size for me, I apparently need a 30G, aka 28GG in this case. (I'm still figuring out my current cup size, this is my first Freya... actually first UK bra... in a while so definitely my error in that regard!) With the band being loose I'm getting floating gore rather than quad boob in this size.

The cups are somewhat shallow. Wires are fairly narrow, which I like. The gore could be narrower (my boobs are close set), but with the cups not being super projected at the center, the gore width actually isn't bothering me.

I LOVE the cute print! I usually like muted colors (brights just make me look drab by comparison) and I wouldn't call this muted but I think it actually works on me.

I chose this bra because it has three vertical seams and is a half cup, all factors that are good for those who are shallow and/or have tall roots.

However, the band seems very elastic and the cups seem huge! The band may be my issue as I measure 28 snug but sister sized up due to unavailability. Not sure if it is me, but I found the cup size significantly too large. As a reference, the Freya Starlet vertical seem bra I tried on (30DD) is MUCH SMALLER and I quad in that size If I were to try this again, I'd go for 28E.

This is a beautiful bra and the first time an unlined one almost fit me! I think the cupsize is a bit small (quadboob at the top on the bigger side and breast tissue at the side). The band is also quite stretchy, I can already do it on the last hooks. Planning to try a band size down and a cup size up. At the moment the underwire digs in at the side but I'm hoping that's due to the incorrect cup size.

For reference I am quite shallow with tall roots, so this open cup is a good fit.

I love the look of this bra (I really, really wish they made some plainer colors, though!) I do get some gore pain after wearing it all day, but its the closest I've come bra-fitting wise.

It fits!

This actually fits pretty comfortably considering that the cups are too small. The band is comfy and I like the longline style, although the bottom tends to roll up.

Plunge balcony based on the Hero style. Great support and good amount of front projection.

I really liked this bra, comfortable and cute. I have gone down a few cup sizes so it no longer fits.
