Was a good fit when I was 28DD but now it's all wrong, I'm 28e now. Gore doesn't tack; the cups are too small so my boobs push the gore forward off of my body. I can fit a finger inside the gore.
I really like this bra! It's very comfortable and feels like a good fit. This is the first bra I have worn in this size. The material is nice and it feels well made. I like the half cup style, I feel like it makes my breasts look good, and I like the pattern as well. I would've chosen one of the darker colors personally, but this was given to me by a friend who bought the wrong size by accident so I can't complain! Overall, I like this bra a lot and I plan to get more from Freya to see how their other bras feel https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

What a pain device. I am in that group of people for whom Deco does not work. The 28 band is too tight, but 30 is too big. The cups seem to only cover a part of my breasts, and I'm not sure my soft breasts feel much support. But the shape is good - a beautiful rounded one. Again, I know others have a better time with Deco.
I guess I am in that group of people who find Deco to be pure torture. The 28 band is too tight, the cups are uncomfortable and seem to be too small, yet the tops of the cups are sticking upward away from my soft breasts. The gore digs in and keeps on digging as the day goes by. The bottom of the band is also somehow itchy. But I know that others love Deco, so I think we are just a shape mismatch.
I have this in two colours. Probably my all-time favourite, so far. Very supportive almost full-cup cups that give me a perfect rounded shape. My breasts fill them almost perfectly with very minimal wrinkling. Smooth comfy fabric. If the band ran an inch tighter and was less stretchy, it would be my holy grail bra. I think I am even, shallow, and I'm 26" and 31--32".
I received this with one of the straps twisted and I couldn't fix it. The straps were rather wide for me. Unfortunately using the J-hook the straps were too short, maybe because of this issue. This is supposed to be a "balcony" bra, but to me it looks almost like a full bra. The front part of the straps were not soft and were very uncomfortable. The fabric of the wings felt kind of rough and wasn't comfortable either, so I returned it. A pity, because the bra did fit and I thought it looked quite good on me. I didn't expect a Freya to work as I'm wide & shallow breasted.
This bra didn't fit when it arrived -- the cups gaped at the top and sides. I was wearing 28DD lace plunge bras. Then epic water retention happened and I was wearing 28E/F (Freya/Cleo) for a week. TODAY it fits quite well. The cups lie flat at the top, the stretch lace is comfortably snug, and the sides gently cup the outer curve of my breasts instead of gaping.
The takeaway: if you have breasts that change cup size throughout the month, it can be a good idea to keep track of what bras fit as your breasts wax and wane through your cycle.
/So close/ to being my ideal, wear-everyday bra--the main issue now is just that the nude is noticeably different from my skin tone! Sigh. The shape works well for me, and I am shallow with very little upper fullness.
Right now, this is my favorite bra. The band is a little looser than my other Freyas. The cup seems a little larger but maybe a little more rounded at the top.
Feels great if only a little snug on the band as I get used to the fit. My breasts are completely encapsulated in the cups with no quad boobing. However, there's some underarm fat that spills over the band. Not sure if it's not a good fit or if that is tissue that has migrated to my sides.
Update: After wearing it, I'm sad that this beautiful bra has short underwires that don't go the length of the channel. Because of the empty space on the channel, it pokes my underarms and the tissue just bulges out where the underwire is supposed to be. I tried pushing the wire all the way to the back part, which held the cup to my side, but dug into my sternum. So now the wire is somewhere in between, and doesn't poke me as much. Still, it's a beautiful bra which gives me a very nice shape without much (if it has any at all) padding. I'll keep using the bra until it stretches out a little.
The band on this definitely runs large, it feels closer to a 30 or 32 band. It also seems to run a little small in the the cup. The top of the cups do not cut into my tall roots nor do they have gapping. Compared to my Deco Vibe, the band is larger, cups smaller, and there's less gapping. I prefer this one to the vibe, it seems less flattening from the side and gives slight cleavage. I'd recommend sizing up in cup and this will probably work better for someone who wears 30C/30D.
Just got this, really happy with it right now, it's definitely the right size in terms of cup and band size. I would say that the underwires sometimes poke a bit under the arm and at the gore but I've been wearing it all day lately without discomfort aside from the occasional poke. Also it's kind of difficult to put on with the 5 hooks down the back but I can deal with that.
One of the first bras I bought since I discovered that I had an "unusual" bra size. I think it could fit better, but it is way much better than any other bra i used to wear. The band has a good length but is too stretchy for me. I fasten it on the middle hook. There is just something I can't describe that tells me that it is not exactly the kind of bras I need, but I am not able to find it. The cups seems to be at the right size, maybe not wide enough, because as the wires sits just exactly at the side of my boobs when I put it on, they tend to move on it during the day. The second fact is that I need to tighten the straps a lot otherwise I don't feel supported. I could use some help.
This bra is gorgeous, and it's soft as silk. It's a good fit, especially for an unlined cup, but the cups are slightly too narrow and deep for my shape. When I wear this bra, I find myself bending the wires at my sternum outward several times a day. I have gotten bruises on my sternum after wearing this for an entire day. This bra is so lovely I've been thinking about taking out the wires and using it for, at least, a sleep bra.
I've experienced the same wire issues with Freya: ouch!!! You can purchase different, more flexible wire from www.bravobellabras.com. I recently purchased a set and they are lovely :-)
