So a while back, I ordered a 28FF freya deco and 28FF freya (deco) hattie. When they finally arrived from the UK, they were both most obviously too big in the cups, despite frantic scooping and swooping. Defeated, I sent them back to exchange for a 28F in both bras. After all, they run a little big, right?

Finally, weeks later, I receive yet another package from the UK with my 28F freya deco in gorgeous black. It looks lovely! I was so excited to try it on, because beyond a little bit of gaping in the 28FF, it was very comfortable and worked with my shape.

Alas... Somewhere in between trying on the 28FF and receiving the 28F, my measurements seem to have shifted! Call it tissue re-migration or just plain ol' boob growth, but the underbust went down an inch and the overbust went up an inch. I get the good ol' quadboob(or shall we just call it rockin' cleavage?) in the 28F! Argh!

To be quite honest, though, it is not uncomfortable quadboob, nor is it entirely visible. There is still a relatively smooth line underneath clothing, and the bra is mega comfortable. For whatever reason, the band feels very firm, despite the previous reports of the deco being large in the band. I'm keeping the 28F, despite the fact that it doesn't fit properly, because sometimes a gal just needs a great cleavage bra, and the slightly-small freya deco in 28F is that bra for me.

On a practical note, I wore this bra to a wedding the evening after I got it. This was a wedding where I did a lot of moving around, a TON of very enthusiastic dancing, and lots of running up and down flights of stairs for the dear bride. My boobs didn't hurt, they didn't feel like they were moving so much, and for once, I kind of forgot about my bra. So maybe this is really how the deco is supposed to fit. Either way, it works for me, even if it is not a textbook definition of "fit" https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra is not owned any more
