This looks great under very low cut clothing, but it's such an uncomfortable bra for me. The very tall cups feel like they're pressing against my diaphragm and suffocating me slowly.

The band was snug. The fit was ok, but the cups weren't quite wide enough for me.

First strapless bra to actually stay up! The band is nice and snug and grippy. Cups are comfortable and smooth under tight shirts. There are two loops on each cup and four loops in the back for attaching straps. Here's a comparison of this bra in 28D and 28DD:

28D (black)
- cups fit almost perfectly when worn strapless.
- straps are most comfortable when placed on the outer loops in the cup, but create quadboob when placed on the middle loops unless worn quite loosely.
- sadly only has two rows of hooks and a narrow band which HURTS digging into my ribs by the end of the day. it stretches ... out faster too so I'm on the last hook now.

28DD (nude)
- cups are definitely too wide, with the wires sitting under my armpit, well past the edge of my boobs. this is not uncomfortable so I don't care that much.
- cups have some gapping when worn strapless, but fit nicely with straps tightened just enough to bring the cup in a little (not enough to dig into shoulders).
- can only wear straps on the middle loops because they'd be in my armpits if worn on the outer loops.
- has three rows of hooks!!! yay! The band is wider and MUCH more comfortable than the 28D.

Conclusion: I like both. The cups are a better overall fit for me in 28D, but the band is several orders of magnitude nicer on the 28DD. I don't understand why Freya would neglect the smaller-boobed ladies in that regard, because, having very little fat to pad my ribcage, thin bands (especially on a necessarily tight strapless bra!) get really hurty. I usually wear the 28D as a strapless for only a few hours as needed. The 28DD with straps attached works really well as a T-shirt bra because it's smooth and seamless and the nude colour matches my skin pretty closely.

i am moderately shallow, moderately conical, and even. i have wide, average-set roots.

so i returned my deco darling to amazon, and bought the regular deco strapless off of ebay. this one doesn't seem to stay on me as well as the deco darling. and since it slides down, i'm paying attention to other fit issues as well. the wires are too narrow for me, and the cups therefore are too small. maybe i should buy the 28DD regular deco?

shape: even, slightly conical/shallow
placement: average-set, slightly wide roots

i've been very frustrated trying to find a shallow bra that won't gape too badly, but isn't closed on top either. THIS IS IT - it's beautiful and perfect! such lovely details in the wings and the gore.

the powernet wings and gripper elastic are wonderful. from personal experience i can say that this does not move after a whole night of dancing.

I love this bra. It's a smaller cup size than the fitter predicted, but it makes the girls look amazing, and it's so comfortable. I think this is a style that is best tried on in person, because the style is so different from so many others, and your size may not be what you expect, depending on your breast shape.

Another one for the return pile.

I really hoped to like this bra. The fabric is satiny, the straps are sooo soft, and the print is pretty.

The main problem was that there is way too much depth in the cups of the 28D for me. It was acres of baggy fabric as far as they eye can see.

Upon measuring the bra, I noticed that the wires begin to distort if you stretch the band beyond 26". I think this is a serious problem for a bra that is supposed to be a 28 band. Also, I think the 7.5" deep cups are a little too generous for this size. I would say that this bra fits like a 26 E.

Well, this bra just looked terrible. The cups were simply not filled. However, I worry that there was actually a shape incompatibility because I am not skilled at checking my fit. Unfortunately, I was so sad about this that I ripped the bra off and returned it before taking pictures.

The bra is beautiful but it definitely doesn't fit me. The cups are too small and too big at the same time: the underwires cut into my breast tissue but the cups gap a little bit. They are also not high enough at the front, they barely cover my nipples.

The material is soft and comfortable and I like the "Longline-Style".

I'd heard that the Deco runs a cup size large and so ordered 28D instead of my usual size of 28DD. However, the 28D is just a bit too small for me. There seems to be quite a big difference between the 28D and the 28DD in general; not only the cups but the bra as a whole is significantly smaller, e.g. the band is narrower. As always with the Deco, the quality is very good, and this one is a gorgeous colour - more a sort of sea-green colour than plain green. In terms of fit, it's just overall too small: there isn't enough space in the ... cups to hold all my breast tissue (no point in swooping and scooping as there's nowhere to put it!) and the wires don't come up high enough at the sides. The wires are also extremely narrow, although just about wearable for me as my boobs have narrow roots. I'm returning it and exchanging it for the 28DD, albeit somewhat reluctantly as it does give nice cleavage and looks great under a low-cut top!

Perfect for me (I am shallow with wide roots).But like most of the model of this brand, the band is really long. I usually wear 30C or 30D, even 32 in Cleo's bras, and this 28 isn't tiny at all, I fasten easily the 2nd hooks !

This is a really comfortable bra. It doesn't poke at all. I think that the bad size may run a bit big though. It's quite cute as it has a few bows as well as a nice lacy pattern.

Good for shallow breasts. I'm a little surprised by the cup depth measurement because I never fill out cup depths over 6''. I just barely fill this out though, my breast tissue is very soft and may be too soft to fully "expand" the cups (especially on the sides) but it looks fine. Fits much better than the Totally Tartan longline that I previously tried.

Sturdy and pretty bra. The top seems too closed for me as it causes quadboob. The lace on top of the cup will show through thin clothing.

Fits very comfortably, but as the day progresses, there is gapping in the top of the bra away from the breast. It looks really awkward under a shirt for that reason. But, if I size down, then the quadriboob effects occurs.

This fit me even more weirdly than the 28DD - Freya » Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501) . The bottom of the cups are filled, the gore tacks and feels really comfortable, the band is perfect, the straps feel comfortable on my shoulders. Even the top edge of the cups mostly works - although it still kind of seems like it's too long somehow. The side support panels seem like they push my breasts into the center more and I get great cleavage. The wings seem like they're too short or the wires there don't reach high enough, or the lack of enough room in the ... bottom of the cups pushes me out to the sides as well. Any way I put it, the outer sides of these cups don't work for me. The straps are as short as is comfortable and allows my breasts to still be properly in the cups, but the outer edges gape like the straps are too long.
Also, the wires are short in these and don't fill the entire channels, so there's a gap either in the center with the gore or on the outer edge, depending on where you push the wire. It might work better if the wire reached both edges of the channel all the way, or even more closely! It's at least a cm short, if not more.
I love the look and shape of this bra, I wish it would work on me.

I wanted to love this bra so badly! The band and straps fit nicely, however the cups were just too deep and too tall. Also, the top of the center wires hit right at the end of my sternum so they were almost stabbing underneath my ribs! It was extremely uncomfortable. If I pulled the bra down so the wires didn't dig, then the underwire wasn't even supporting my breasts anymore. This was a total flop for me and I just really didn't fill out the cup and the shape didn't work at all.

This bra fits well in wire width, bottom of cups and band length. Basically everything is good except the top of the cups, which are waaay too big. My boobs are wide-root, shallow, full on bottom. I usually wear a 28B in other brands.

I have an old Freya Polyanna, which is a similar-ish shape, both are unpadded. The Polyanna fits me after I altered the top of the cups by stitiching in a horizontal fold / pleat to the lace at the top of the cups, which brings the cup tops down by about 2cm. This doesn't work on the Faye, as I think it has taller cups than the Pollyanna.

My Polyanna does tend to dig in at the top of the gore a little bit after wearing all day, but it's not too bad. I think the Faye would have the same problem.

Was hoping this bra would work for me but it makes a really weird shape. My breasts are center heavy I guess and it looks like it leaves empty space at the sides (sides are too shallow?) even though the cup width is fine.
Good for shallow breasts but I don't know what happened with this bra. Someone suggested that the seams were off a little.
