Decos are great bras! This bra fits OK and looks great under clothes. The cups fit OK but cut into my arms a little, thus making driving not fun and becoming annoying by the end of the day. Unfortunately for me, I think I need a 28G as Decos tend to run larger in the band and the cup, and I do prefer a firmer band.

ARGH, FREYA! Why are your bands so unpredictable? I received Lyla from a fellow user and while the cups fit, it's just too loose in the band. I'm beginning to think that I should order any Freya in a 28 band because 30's are way too loose and ride up. I also get a little bit of quadboob when I adjust the straps (no adjustment = no lift).
Lyla is beautiful--the magenta color is gorgeous and it seems like a great summer bra (no padding so no boob-sweat!), but unfortunately, the band and I are not getting along, and the cups aren't quite my friends, either.

Like my review for the 30F, the 30FF is OMG comfy! This bra gives great lift and a nice shape. The straps are fully adjustable and very comfortable (not scratchy unlike some Freya straps). The band is firm, but could definitely be tighter. The wires do not dig, nor do they poke. The lace overlay is not noticeable under clothing, but will obviously show under semi-sheer or very thin tops (think layering shirts). There are also 3 hooks on the 30FF vs 2 on the 30F. Like the 30F Casey, this bra does show a bit under a heavy white cotton t-shirt (again, clingy), but not other colored clingy cotton tees.
Con: the band rides up a bit in the back compared to the 30F. The cup also comes up much higher than the 30F, and it cuts into my underarms a bit. It isn't uncomfortable, but it isn't ideal, either. I don't know if I should keep this one (where my larger breast doesn't run the risk of spilling out) or keep the 30Fbra...ughh.

Again, Ivy is super cute! The fabric is forgiving, looks great, gives a flattering shape and lift, hides under most of my clothing, and it just all around flattering. However, I am still worried the band may stretch out too fast. Also, while this bra fits my larger breast, the smaller breast is swimming. It doesn't look bad under clothes, only when it's just me and Ivy. This bra is definitely for non-soft breasts with projection and is good for bottom heavy tatas.
C'mon, Freya. Let's work it out. Stop being so particular with my boobs!

PROS: Comfortable! Straps are fully adjustable. Underwires do not poke or prod. Very comfortable, lightweight bra--it doesn't feel heavy or matronly. The padding is very thing and light. It does not add bulk, but rather helps even out shape and protect you from over-exposure in colder climates.Very attractive bra, nice shape, does not flatten but enhances natural shape. Overall, the Freya Patsy is very cute and quite flattering!
However...
CONS: Masks uneven breasts nicely, however, did not cover my left breast entirely (spillage, cut into breast tissue, etc). Band runs VERY loose, as do straps. Realistically, I could have afforded to go down a band size and up ... 2 cup sizes to correct for this issue. The material is very scratchy (to sensitive skin) at first but subsides with wearing. The center gore did not lie flat on me but rather began to lift onto my left breast, most likely due to the cup being too small. I may try to alter the center gore...it may just be too wide for my breasts, I'm not sure.
CONCLUSION: If you're between sizes (like me!) size up a cup. Straps are fully adjustable and structure seems strong enough to withstand cupcakes for correcting uneven fit (if dramatic size difference between breasts).
