Comfy! There is no annoying gore digging and many space for FOT boobs (or boobs that vary in size from hour to hour because of breastfeeding). I love the color plus the fabric is soft and dries quickly after washing. Its my favourite bra because of that.

The Patsy looks great and gives a nicely lifted rounded shape. Narrow wires, deeps cups, but not deep enough for my larger side.
The mesh straps seem a bit rough, but that should soften with wash and wear.

This bra is my first experience with a cup bigger than E. The gore feels a bit uncomfortable because it digs into the sternum when I wear it for a longer time.
Because of the great "wow I can put my shoulders back without feeling cups thst are too narrow" - effect I bought this bra three times. One is exchanged now for a Cleo Rita which gives me better support.
Gem is quite stretchy even on top. So I think this bra is good for FOT boobs.

I’ve got this bra since 2012. I ordered it encouraged by the spectacular cleavage the famous Deco gives. It turned out to be a little bit too big in the cups at the time, I could only wear it during a few days in a month and even then, the cups tended to gap at the top. Then I accidentally put it into washing machine and this unfortunate incident definitely sealed the fate of this bra – while the band and the straps are very sturdy and still look perfect, the cups are seriously damaged, as you can see on the pics. I put the Deco at the ... back of my drawer and haven’t worn it ever since. In the meantime I bought a Deco Honey in 28E which fitted much better but was too shallow for my boobs (even if they’re soft, they’re also rather projected) and the cups too narrow.
As my size increased recently, I decided to give it the last try and I can finally say it fits as it’s supposed to. In this size there’s enough projection, the underwires are perfect and the cups don’t gap. I really like the super wide Freya straps for their comfort. The band runs loose (typical for this brand). I don’t think I would be able to fasten any 28 band but Freya. This one is just perfect.
Even though the Deco actually fits, I don’t think I’ll be purchasing a new one in the future. I actually don’t like the thick foam and I’m very disappointed by the quality of this bra.

This bra (this size) is much too small. The band is very tight and the cup gives me considerable quad-boob. Also, why in the world are the straps so enormously wide on such a tiny and dainty, otherwise, bra??

I sized down in the band for this bra, and found that was a good decision. I bought this used but it still fits my 30" underbust tightly - I often use an extender. Won't work well for people who need a band smaller than 28 though..
This bra gaps less than other Decos I've tried, but where it gapes by the gore is horrible. I can swoop and scoop and still be gaping by the gore while I'm slightly quadding otherwise. I guess having more center fullness would help.

Buy it! That bra changed my life as it is rally comfortable as I wear it in the right size. Never had imagined a lace bra could give such an support. I used to wear padded Freya bras size 32 dd before. The n i tried the 30 e ans thought they would ne fine. Definitely they are not. At last not for me. I really love that gembra. Its the one i wear 24/7.

This bra fits me pretty well despite being a band size smaller than I would typically wear. It does give good lift, but the gore is a bit wide for my liking, but very good cakes on a plate cleavage. It's an unusual print, but I kind of like it, I just don't really wear it since I got this right before trying Polish bras.

It looks like it could be a decent fit if I got it in the proper size. For that reason I MAY re-order it at some point in a 30E. I like that it makes my breast look more rounded and provides nice lift. The cups are pretty wide for me and I am hoping that sizing up in the band and down in the cup might help with that. For reference I am slightly more FoB and have more center fullness with more projection.

Bra did not work with my shape. Extremely pointy.

The best fit I've had up to date. At first I wasn't too sure about it but with wearing it consistently it actually became my favourite bra. I am very small and need quite some projection. It's the only bra I own that I can forget it's on. The only thing I hate is the god awful wide straps. I have the same bra in another size and the straps are much much smaller! Nothing a little alteration can't fix though.

I never actually had any satisfying experience with Freya. Band is not as tight as I would like it to be and the straps are too separated which gives me terrible gaping and somehow at the same time flatens my breasts. It is made for a taller person with shorter breasts and wider back. The bra also makes the bottom of my breasts look narrow, and I dont like such shape under clothes.

I wanted to try this bra because the standard Deco strapless is not really amazing for me, and the longline band looked very supportive. And it’s pretty as well! I like the pale floral pattern in the front. The cups are very stiff, and thicker than the standard Deco strapless. They measure about the same (meaning horribly wide and shallow), but the cup shape looks overall a bit more rounded here. The cups are taller than the Deco strapless in the same size, and this one has the thick seam at the top of the cups like newer Decos. The band has soft boning on the sides, silicone ... strips at the top and bottom, and 2x4 hooks.
These cups don’t seem to be really working for me. Without the straps, there’s a lot of gaping at the top. With the straps on, I get quadboob (although it doesn’t show under clothing). One reason for the bad fit is the high and wide gore, which is not even close to tacking with my close-set boobies in the way. And well, it’s just shallow. The band is very tight. Although it doesn’t taper much towards the bottom, the unstretchy bottom edge cinches my ribs and I’ve had to open a couple of lower hooks after a few hours of wear.
I don’t think that I've actually worn this as a strapless because of the cup issue, but I can imagine that it would be very supportive for someone with the right shape. It does, however, create a rather smooth look with the straps on under tight dresses and such. I think that a size down might even be better. In the end, the 28F - Freya » Deco Strapless (4233) is for me the least bad option of the ones I’ve tried so far.

I bought another deco (black deco shape), one size bigger than my usual size 28E, because this one felt very comfortable. Especially because of the wires. They are wider than in my 28E deco (I've wide roots)! They even could be a bit wider.
The band is unexpectedly perfectly snug (I am a 26), different to my deco rebel, which is definitely wider. I'm closing it on the widest hook.
It isn't gapping that much at the top, but in the cup bottom is some empty room, what doesn't bother me.

If you have a neck to nipple measurement 8.5" or less, these straps may not adjust short enough. Fully shortened, the straps fell off my shoulders. This bra has excellent projection at the apex. However, if you need maximum immediate projection, this is not your bra. For some reason, these wires BITE under my breasts: ouch. The straps are wide (I like these!!). The pattern is lovely if you like pansies, blue, and bright pink. The lace above the cups my daughter wanted to eat, because it looked like "bacon." The lace is striated with shades of pink. Narrow wires. I strongly prefer the support and lift of Comexim unlined balcony bras.

So far, this is probably my favorite bra ever. Deco is a wardrobe basic, but a good looking and comfortable one. It’s my going out bra, an everyday bra, and I don’t have to take it off after coming home from work. The wires are quite narrow and perfect width for me. There’s no quadboob or gapping anywhere, and the low center gore is a relief. I have close-set breasts with center fullness, so any higher gore tends to poke them. The band is technically too big for my 66 cm (26 inch) ribcage, but it doesn’t bother me as long as it hasn’t stretched out too much.
The ... shape is amazing and the cleavage pretty massive. Actually, the only reason I would not want to wear Deco every day is that I don’t always like having my boobs so smushed together. I’m also a bit shy to wear it with low-cut shirts (I don’t really wear so low-cut tops that I would actually need a plunge bra). Maybe I could also try to size up for a roomier fit, since I do wear it currently a cup size down from my "standard" UK size.
Overall, it’s an amazing bra and I’m sure I’ll be buying it several times again!

I like this bra. I'm not normally much of a frilly bra person, but I thought this in the black/pink combo was particularly pretty.
The band size fits about one size larger, which is typical for every Freya bra I've tried. I am in between band sizes right now so it's fine, but once I get down into the solidly 28 range I'll probably have to alter this one. The cups seem to run at least a size large - the rest of my bras are all 28FF or 28G and I had to get this one in a 28F, and still the top part of the cup will ... be a tiny bit wrinkly on some days.
The wires follow the bottom of my breast well, which is something I have a lot of trouble with - they are often a touch too wide (which doesn't bother me) and sit way farther down my ribcage than they should (which does bother me).
I did not find the shape to be overly pointy, unlike some people mentioned - and pointy shapes are generally a no-go for me. The seams do show a bit under clothing.

Bought it from a user here with the Secret Garden. Both fit like a dream. Seems like Freya bras are made for my shape.

This style from Freya generally fits me great and this bra doesn't disappoint.
