Awful. The band is way too tight and there's no way I could wear this without an extender. It creates massive quadboob, especially near my armpits. It did give me cleavage, which is something I look for in a strapless bra, but the cups are too high and it creates too much armpit fat for me to ever be able to wear this. It also makes me look flat under my clothes.

It's looks amazing and hold on even when you're dancing, jumping or whatever. Band is tight (like 28) and unfortunately cup is too small for me. imho it more like 28e/f (not e but neither f).

The good:
Works well as a strapless and gives nice cleavage too
Doesn't slip
Band runs tight so you might want to size up, 30 band works fine on 27" ribcage
Smooth line under tight clothes
The bad:
Cups run small too, considerably, go up at least 1 cup size
Cups too tall and fast closing for FOT boobs
Just looks ridiculous on me, I cannot wear this

Super comfy. Runs small in. The cup. I quad like crazy, but it lessens if I narrow the gore. Worth trying one size up,for me and narrowing the gore. Gives really amazing cleavage even if I didn't quad. Band feels nice. Hoping the cups don't close in on top too quickly even when I size up.

Stunning bra with an Old Hollywood glamour feel. The shade of the red satin is absolutely divine, and the lace is unlike any lace I've seen on a bra before. It's a gorgeous pattern and really soft.
Because the material is so soft, the band just feels too loose even on the tightest hook. You don't get that snug, supportive feeling from this bra.
The heavy padding in the bottom of the cup makes it pretty shallow there; it's designed to push everything up, and the very open-on-top cup gives a really 'boudoir bra' look.
The fit is terrible on me, but if I'd have managed to find the whole matching set, I would have definitely kept it as a bedroom-only bra!

A great strapless, but too small for me. The 30FF fits much better, so I would say these are true to size.

Wonderful bra! I just wish I could fit into it. It has lots of silicone/elastic grips on the side for extra stickiness, the band is firm but not too tight, and it's overall great at staying on, even if it was the wrong size. However, my roots are too damn tall for this bra, plus tissue migration happened, so I now ought to be a 30FF.

Actually i loved this bra. But i grew out of it. It is barely worn (like 2 times).

Too loose on the band for me and the straps are too long
Wide on the width of the cup but not deep enough

Just too small in the cups for me, but overall I have nothing bad to say about it. If I had bought it in the right size I'd probably love it. It's not a pretty bra by any means, but very utilitarian.

- cups are too narrow for my shallow wide breasts
- too pointy cups for my liking
- band isn't as tight as I hoped for (definitely not "tight 28" as stated somewhere)
+ straps are nice and satiny, them being wide doesn't bother
+ soft and lightweight

This bra fit perfectly when I was a 30F. Very comfortable and supportive. Best strapless bra I've had. I felt able to move about as I would if I was wearing a strapped bra.

This bra was a disaster for my full-on-top boobs. It created a hideous muffin top that spilled out around the top edge, even though the cup is the right size. If I were to go up a cup size in this it would just float over my boobs.
The band is snug (as expected for a strapless) and the wireless design is cool. I just wish the top edge didn't cut in so much!

This is the first strapless bra that I've found that I can actually wear without the straps!
It is a molded bra that has plastic "fingers" at the side of the cup for support, and instead of underwires it has plastic at the bottom to give shape and support. It also has that stretchy plastic around the band to help keep it in place. It is extra-tight to help keep it in place. It has pretty black lace over nude for the cups, and the bottom and back are simple black.
The Good:
This bra gives a nice rounded shape to my breasts, and it stays in place. I'm ... not sure it is the perfect size for me, but based on the shape it seems to give some forgiveness for slightly too large or small. And I have nice cleavage in it.
The Bad:
If I do slouch, it does cut into some of my tissue giving me underarm fat, but if i sit up straight and do a little shake, it goes away. My ribcage measures 27-28 (migration has made me slightly smaller so I do not know my actual measurements) and the 30 band seemed too tight initially, but after wearing it a few hours the tightness was less noticeable. It was difficult to put on, but I'm still able to put on my 28's backwards and then slip them up, so I'm not used to hooking bras from behind. It does seem to give me fat rolls when I'm not sitting up straight as well, but when i'm straight, it is smooth.
Overall this is a beautiful strapless bra that actually stays in place. It is tight enough for me to notice that it is there ( but all of my bras that stay in place are noticeable to me), but once you're used to the tightness, it is pretty comfortable. There are some downsides to it staying in place, but for a strapless bra that gives great shape, the pro's outweigh the con's.

cups are too small, underwire uncomfortable so I probably won't bother trying a 30FF in this

This bra is absolutely gorgeous. I especially love the velvet straps. Unfortunately, the cups curve in at the top to the level the underwire is at, like a C shape almost, and it means it doesn't work with my breast shape in the least. Seems to run a little small in the cup.

This is a deep plunge bra, quite similar to the Freya Deco. The cups are molded, with a lace overlay; the seams are only in the overlay and thus don't show through most fitted tops. The foam of the cups is stiffer but thinner than that of the Deco. The straps have a nice satin-y feel to them, and the wings are slightly sheer.
Although it fits me perfectly in the band, sadly the bra is too small for me in the cup. Those with very bottom-heavy breasts like mine might find the same. Its cups are shallow at the bottom for a push-up effect, right where my breast tissue is densest and least inclined to budge. I think that one size up would have fit me much better.
I'm disappointed this doesn't fit; it's an absolutely beautiful design.

This bra doesn't technically have any underwires. Instead there's a wide piece of, somewhat rigid and at the same time flexible, plastic that goes under each cup, and flares into a hand shape on the outsides of the cup. These pieces have extra padding on them compared to the rest of the cup. Because of that, it's amazingly comfortable, it feels like a firm cushion on your body. I like this bra more than the Deco strapless, since the band feels very firm (as it should), whereas the Deco just feels tight. Also, the silicone lining on this bra doesn't irritate me as ... much as the Deco strapless does, I think it's because of the extra padding.
I did jump around in this bra and it feels very secure.
The downside is that the cups are just too small for me and unfortunately an F cup is the largest size they carry in this model. If you're looking for a comfortable strapless and you're in their size range, I'd really recommend it.

I found this bra to be surprisingly wearable considering it is a band size larger than my usual. The band fits well on the middle hooks, so I won't get as much life out of it as a 28 back, but I've washed it a few times and it hasn't stretched yet. It fastens with two hooks, which I always appreciate as I feel three is fiddly and unnecessary for my size.
The fabric is a satin-y microfibre with a lace trim on the top of the cups. Overall it is fairly plain looking. The straps are fully adjustable, so it's good if you have a short distance between ... your shoulders and chest. The cups are cotton lined and it feels very soft against your skin. My only issue with the design is that there is a seam running down the centre of each cup and I find this shows under clothing.
The cups are ever so slightly too small for my larger breast, but fit the smaller one very well. The bra provides good uplift - always a miracle for me as my breasts are much fuller on the bottom. It feels surprisingly secure for a balconette and I'm not worried I'm going to pop out.

Soft peach color with mesh overly. Right cup has lace mesh flower and same lace mesh is on the band. The front and back of the straps has a cute divided strap that merges into a single thin strap.
