I am so relieved that this bra fit. The nesting doll print is one of the cutest I've seen. Very comfortable and supportive. No poking, gore lies flat.

Yeah! It fits! The sheerness is a little weird, just not used to it, but it's lovely.
Comfortable.
I have to go throttle my barking dog, I'll be back in a minute to write more. He's pitching a spoiled brat fit about being in his crate duri g the day.
Ok. Now that I've this bad boy for a while, it's comfy, doesn't shift, pull, pinch, bulge or give me quad bob.
Now I'm on a mission to find more!

Just happy to find a lower cut bra that has no boob spillage or quadboob. Feels very comfortable, and seems to have lots of support, but I need to wear it more for a better review.

Fits nicely, no spillage. Band is a bit itchy, and straps don't seem to want to stay at the length I want them. Very cute and comfortable, though. I am full on top, so quadboob is always a concern for me. First tried a 34FF, and there was a little quadboob. The 34G is near perfect. Lies flat and offers a lot of support. The cups seem quite open on top. Not a big fan of the straps migrating, but it's tolerable.

A cup size smaller than normal but fits beautifully https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Fit is slightly smaller than my other Decos. Band is also a bit more snug. Pretty bra, good construction.

This was the result of a gamble on eBay. I hadn't tried Freya before and it was cheap second-hand. The band size is good (probably a little stretched from wear). The cup is at least 1 too small, maybe 2, but I wore it a few times anyway because it's really cute. The shape is good (if I overlook the quadraboob) and it's very comfy. In spite of the details (contrasting embroidery, lace trim & seaming), it is surprisingly smooth under most clothing.
It is lined (not padded), which is nice. It's a 3-part vertical construction, so the shape is excellent for my fullish-on-top boobs. The underwires are narrower than my other Freyas, which is also good for me.
The band has 2 hooks, but as usual, I wish it were 3-4 in this cup size.
The straps are similar to the Antoinette, but a little thinner so they're actually good-looking with the plaid fabric. They are fully adjustable.

Beautiful cut and fabric - very smooth. At first when I tried it on, I thought it was a good fit, but was annoyed at the extra fabric below the underwires curling up. After not being too keen on the look very much, I did it on the tighter hook and discovered I could do it up on the tightest to get the most support. On the tightest hook the curling of the fabric below the cups wasn't a problem, but I would definitely need a 32GG in this bra, which doesn't exist. I am going to try take it in somehow to make the band smaller. Having said that, it does give a good shape and it is a lovely comfortable bra.
UPDATE March 2013: Since tissue migration, I'm now a 32H/HH. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Even if I had been able to alter the band on the 34G, the cups would be at least a cup size too small.

I really like this bra. It's the first bra I've owned that doesn't have parts digging in uncomfortably anywhere. Even after wearing the bra for 8+ hours at work, I still cannot feel the underwires digging in anywhere, which makes it a very comfortable bra.
The only problem is, the bra does have a slight tendency to shift down a bit so the underwires aren't sitting at the base of my breast, but it doesn't move much and the comfort isn't lessened much by this movement.

The bra is beautiful, and I love how it looks on me.
Due to the sheer fabric, I can clearly see that the wires are an inch or so below my fold, and that the wires on the side are a bit too wide.
It was part of my first haul of bras in my real (well, close to) size. I know it is too big in the cup, but it is not too uncomfortable, and it still gives a good amount of support.

This bra is pretty and quite comfortable. I measured the fit today, on the first day of my period, so I fill it out a bit more than I usually would. Normally I get a little gaping at the top, but I can't tell if that is just the lace trim, or actual cuppage that is not being filled. Today I am getting a bit of quad boob. The shape is a bit more pointy than I prefer, but that may just be me not being used to my natural shape.
I noticed that the wire marks when I took the bra off were about an inch or so below my actual fold, and it is a little less than an inch too wide. I'm pretty sure that means that the cup is too big. This one was also part of my first haul - wearable, but definitely not perfect.

This bra is a very strange fit on me. The cup is overall too wide and shallow but the bottom of the cup is even more shallow and I can't get it to sit at my root no matter how hard I try. A cup up would be too large and cup down *may* be better volume-wise but it's hard to tell since the fit is so off.
The wires are soft and easily bent but I can't get them to sit flat at my sternum which usually isn't a problem for me. Bending helped a little but not completely. It might be related to the cup being too shallow and maybe getting pushed away from my body.
The straps are fully adjustable and very long so should be good for someone with a long upper torso.

This bra is very pretty but does not fit me at all. It's to small for one and gives me a strange shape as well.
The band is quite firm and I feel that the cups might be a bit small as well.
I gave it to a friend who is a 32G/34FF and it fits her well though it didn't give her much lift. She did get a good shape that looks natural and without the characteristic Freya pointiness.

I bought this bra as I had lost some weight recently, thought I'd lost it in both the band and cup, so I went from a 36G to a 34G (down one size in each). The 34 band feels fantastic, but when I tried it on, I didn't yet know about scooping and swooping! (or jumping around in the change room). After wearing it for one day, I realized I am more likely to need a 34GG or 32H. However, this bra seems to fit like a standard Deco - it's super comfortable! The band was a bit tight/stiff at first - took a couple wearings to break it in but it feels fantastic now!

The straps cut into my underarm/front of shoulder area. If I loosen the strap enough so that this doesnt happen, the strap is too loose and slips off my shoulder. the top of the cup also becomes loose and sort of wrinkles, but next cup down was too small. Pretty much proves that I am a plunge girl, not a balconet kind of girl.

I'm more of a lower pole kind of person, so I find the deco bras to be excellent for my breast type. It's really helped to migrate my breast tissue back in place and gives excellent lift. I have no complaints. It makes a great t-shirt or every day bra. Doesn't add any cleavage, which is a good thing if you're not wearing a shirt or dress to flatter, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking to get that extra oomph. As with all Freya bras, from what I've read anyway, the band tends to run slightly too big and the cup slightly small.

My boobs sit quite high, are full on top and sit very close together, so I tend to go for a balconette as my go-to style. The style of Teagan suited me quite well, and the lightly padded cups give a nice shape, but the band stretched very quickly... within 1-2 weeks I had to wear it on the tightest hook and even then I could have gone tighter (I may have to take it in). I would have needed a 32GG, but it doesn't come in that size. It does give a nice shape and I like the narrower wires that Freya has compared with Cleo bras, but unfortunately Freya doesn't really cater to bust size very well.

Love, love my Freya Naomi. The shape is really good for my full on bottom breasts. What really drew me to this bra, was the pattern and colors. This bra is a perfect fit on me.

So, I finally bought a Deco. I almost bought one two summers ago, shortly after finding out my real bra size, but I wasn't comfortable with the amount of plunge/padding that the Deco gave.
Pros: The color I got is amazing, it gives a smooth line under t-shirts, and the push up *can* be nice
Cons: I feel like I'm going to fall out of the cups (but I don't!) and I still hate the rounded look that molded cup bras give me. I have slight gaping at the top of the cup--likely because my breast shape doesn't sit (no pun intended) well with molded cups.
I've worn it a few times now and every time I wear it, I like it more and more.
