8 bras

I really wish the Decos fit me but alas, they do not. I am bottom-heavy, so I get really awful gapping in them.

They give amazing cleavage and are very similar to the styles many are used to wearing from Victoria's Secret. However, I've found that moulded bras don't suite me.

The band is extremely generous -- I recommend sizing down one from your normal band size. Even compared to my Freya soft cups, the band is large -- about 2-3" larger.

Regardless, the bra IS comfortable, the straps don't dig into my narrow shoulders, and the band didn't ride up despite being a bit generous.

This bra is delightfully comfortable for a lace bra. Most lace softcups I find scratchy and overall unpleasant. The Jolie, however, is none of that. It is also very pretty for a basic bra -- something I rarely find.

Unfortunately it is about one cup size too small and a band size too large. I have very light quadboobing and very little support -- symptoms of the wrong size.

Regardless, this bra is a monster root lifter, and I really love it, so I have ordered another in a 28FF.

fits well, my favourite bra, a bit bigger in the band than Fantasie which is better for me. Has stretched out with repeated wear however I've had it for 18 months!

This bra fits me... bizarrely. In some areas it seems to small, in others, too large. I adjust the straps to take up the slack at the outside of the cup, it cuts into my breast at the inside of the cup. Not for me, and as I can't even guess whether I need to go up or down in cup size, it's going back. Too bad, I had high hopes!

Note: The bra I have may be a factory second, as the underwires don't come to the top of their channels on the sides and the third row of eyes seems oddly placed (hard to hook). I bought it off ebay. So maybe I'm not judging based on fair criteria, but yeah, weird bra.

At first I thought the cups were too deep, but the wires fit perfect. The band is definitely stretchy, and have been wearing it on tightest hook. The cups fit perfect with the tighter band adjustment so I will probably band down and cup up next time. The straps are a bit too far apart, I notice when driving. But the bra gives a really nice shape, and my clothes fit nicer, so I might sew the straps closer together. The first few wears I found this bra to be really scratchy on the straps and band, but after a few washes its softened up enough that its not irritating.

The band is loose, but worn on the loosest hook moves around minimally. The gore pokes at my sternum because the underwires are too high for my torso despite being a plunge, and they dig in a little. It is uncomfortable for me and irritates the area. Bending the underwire may help but I haven't done it yet. The straps are a little wide set and thick, but I am not used to a bra that fits "correctly" so the cups come up higher than I am used to (also partly because I have a short torso I think), and when I move my arms forward it pulls ... at the strap/cup which is something I would have to adjust to. If I loosen the strap to allow more comfortable movement (i.e. so my arm doesn't rub against the bra and I don't think about it), the strap falls off my shoulders. The cups do not give me a pointy shape like other unlined Freya's did but I would still prefer a padded version of this, I only fill the cups/no wrinkle if I sit with my shoulders back and inhale deeply, otherwise they do wrinkle. It is not very visible through a thin t-shirt but is somewhat visible. Since the stretched band measurement is so great it will probably stretch out.

The bra itself is very cute but not so much when I'm wearing it due to the wrinkling of the cups.

I love it! great fit, sits flush to sternum and cups give a flattering, uplifted shape. This peach-pink nude nearly disappears against my pale, neutral toned skin as an added bonus! The structure of the cups is nice, it molds well while still being quite stiff.

The straps on this are quite wide set, which is good for me as I have wide, square shoulders, but it is something to consider. I might consider a 28 band in this, as I did have to move a column in within a couple weeks – that just seems a bit fast to me.

Great bra but this size was too small for me.

Whoa nelly, this runs big in the band. Size down. Seriously. Just order a band size smaller, and keep the same cup size. I'm spilling out of the cups of mine, but I think that's because I'm a really an F, not an E. It's lovely, just big on me. Thankfully, I snagged it majorly on sale. Full price, this would have been painful.

Well, this runs big in the band, sadly. That and I lost a little weight. It starts out fine, and then by the end of the day it seems a little big. Also, it's oddly gape-y when I sit down (I'm super short in the torso, maybe that has something to do with it, aside from my breasts being fuller on the bottom.) When I stand up straight, it seems great, but moving, not as good. So 50/50. Thinking of trying the Deco in a 28E or 28F to see if that fixes some of the issues.

The other issue for me is that I think I'm actually bigger in the cup than I originally thought since my breast tissue is migrating back homeward, and that's causing me some woes with sideraboobage, too.

A shame, too, because it's a lovely bra, and it gave me a lovely shape. I'm thinking that depending on my weight, this might still work, or maybe with some strap adjustment.

Too small in cup, too large in band. My correct size in deco is 28FF

Will be selling

Best bra I've ever owned! Holds me in, looks great under a tshirt or a dress, and is perfect in general! Even held up to my bellydance class! Just wish it came in more colors

This is another bra I've hacked and chopped at to make the band smaller, but I'll base the review on the pre-adulterated fit.

The plunge style means it has a nice, low center gore. This is always good for my frame. I think I may not be suited for this style of Freya bra, however. The lace at the top wrinkles where I'm not really filling it out, but I'm still getting some quad-boobage in the middle. I'm not sure if it's a size issue or a shape issue (or both), but the cup fit is awkward. I've read others with "teardrop" shapes mentioning similar fit issues with some ... Freya styles, so if you're not full on the top you might run in to similar problems with this bra. The straps are not fully adjustable, and the band seemed to stretch out fairly quickly. The lace along the top is rather stiff and a bit scratchy. The bra is cute from the front, but gives a shape that is more triangular than I prefer from the side, so it doesn't work very well under a t-shirt. Overall it's just not an ideal bra for my shape or preferences.

Band is too big for me. Probably need 28F.
Otherwise it's one of the best bra's I've come across https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra is very comfortable and supportive. If my breast size were to increase at all, I'd probably spill out the top. A 30F also fit well, but I like the shape and cleavage the 30E gives me better. I notice that the 30F also gives me coverage that looks more similar to what I see in the model/catalog pictures.

I'ts very comfortable and i love the smooth fabric of which it is made. I had to stretch the wires a little bit, so now they are 15,5cm wide.

This bra is so pretty, and I really wanted to like it, but the fir isn't quite right, The cups are to small, and it gives my breasts a strange shape. I'm not sure if that is just because of the smallness of the cups, I suspect this shape just isn't suited to my breasts. Otherwise, it is a very comfortable, good quality bra.
