I usually wear a 28F in the deco, but I bought this 28FF on a whim.

It's actually only a touch too big, it fits pretty well. The only issue is the sides of the cups coming up a bit high under my arms and it can be annoying if I'm doing something active.

Apart from that it's just the same as any other deco https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This bra gives me great cleavage and makes my boobs look fantastic. I love the moulded cups and lack of lace or embellishment. Since there's nothing on the bra that'll show through clothes I can wear it with anything.

It's comfortable for all day wear. My only complaint is that every once in a while I have trouble with the straps slipping down. They are a bit wide set for me.

I don't usually like padded bras, but I love my Deco. It's super comfortable. I measure 29" underbust when I pull the tape super tight but I wear a 28 in the Deco. For the first few wears I used an extender. I like bands to be pretty snug, though, so if you're not concerned about that you wouldn't need to size down. Freya bands in general run a little loose and stretchy, and the Deco a little more loose in my opinion, but YMMV.

The underwires don't come up super high on the edges which is nice for people that routinely get poked, but I have a ... long torso and wouldn't mind if it came up higher! If I slouch the top of the cup gapes a little bit. If you don't have upper fullness, definitely size down in the Deco. I have a good bit of upper fullness - I'm fairly balanced between upper and lower - and I wear a 30FF in most other bras, 28GG in the Curvy Kate Showgirls but 28FF in the Deco. So down both a band and cup size from my usual. It's super comfortable, doesn't scratch, dig, poke, or otherwise annoy, and is invisible under shirts. It doesn't give my fabulous cleavage, but my boobs carry more fullness on the outside and less on the inside so attaining cleavage is difficult. It does do a great job of lifting and shaping.

Bought this instead of the 30F because I was told Freya bands are a bit loose. It was slightly too tight when I bought it - I could close it but not even a finger would fit between it, and it left very angry red marks on my skin. Wore a bra extender for a while and after a wash or two I don't need it. I prefer my bands tight so this is perfect for me.

I may be encroaching on a 30G so while I don't fit completely after scooping and swooping (plus migrated breast tissue) I put this down to my own boobs and not the bra. I do, however, have a little bit of space in the end of the cup. I'm assuming it's simply a narrow cup and I have wide beasts.

This bra was soo painful for me to even try on for 5 min since the underwires dug into my sternum really hard. Idk why this bra is so popular, it's not even that pretty for how uncomfortable it is and the design would show under clothes.

Because this style didn't work, according to bratabase these styles have the same cut as Arabella, so I won't even bother: Lyla, Eleanor, Eloise, Halle, Nina.

bought 1/2013 from Her Room for $58, returned it

I'm still going through the growing pains of learning to measure myself properly, and I can see already that my measurements weren't accurate enough. This bra was much too tight on me, and the cups were too small - although the strapless version of the same size bra was much smaller in both the strap and the cups. My larger right breast was falling out of the cups, and my smaller left breast was better, but still too large for the cup. Comfort and Appearance ratings are related to fit and not overall quality of the bra itself, although the straps do seem a little rough and scratchy - I wonder if it would be as much of a problem if the bra weren't so tight.

This was my first attempt at purchasing a bra after learning about proper fit, and this definitely wasn't it. I had a rough time getting it clasped and it was uncomfortably tight. Clearly the cups are too small and I was pouring out of the thing as well. The cups collapsed on the bottom under the weight of my breasts, although they were able to fill out the whole cup. I like the slim look and the smooth front, and will be trying the same one in a better size. My only complaints regarding comfort and appearance are related to the poor fit of this bra and not its construction or design.

Like with most freya styles I just find this is too high for me. Especially where the straps meet the cups it is really high and there is some empty material, although I don't think I could go any smaller as than it would be cutting too much at the front where the cups meet. This is so often the case with Freya bras on me.

This bra looks like it fits well when i put it on and scoop my boobs into it. But after wearing it for 5 minutes, the cups start to gape a lot. They dont gape as much as in the 30f though. Also, even though the band is tight in a 28, it seems to ride up at the back after a while. When I take the bra off, the wires make marks wider than my boobs, so I guess the wires are too wide for me. Also the tops of the cups dig into my arms (not sure if I explained that) - I think the cups are just too wide for me. I guess this is not the right bra for me! But it looks good under clothing and gives me a great shape and I have not found anything better so I wear it a lot. Also, the band has stretched out a fair bit since I bought it.

I like the purple colour though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />.

Finally, a freya deco that fits! Super comfortable, wonderful cleavage, and well, it's a nude bra, so it looks good enough!

Also, I got this one used so it has probably stretched a bit. It still feels pretty normal compared to the other decos.

This is the third deco I've had(the other two in 28F). I am definitely a fan!

My first fitting bra. Definitely too big for my smaller side, and just a smidge too small for the larger, but gives me good cleavage (after I even out the smaller side with a filler). A bit too large for my back, but much better than others I've worn.

This is the anxiously awaited wireless version of the Deco, its really comfortable but I'm not sure it gives the right shape/support for me. Could be rounder..

Much better comfort wise than wired deco which leaves marks/indents on my skin https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> see pic

This bra is so pretty! I love how it looks. The fabric seems to be a synthetic type fabric, not particularly soft, but not scratchy either.

This bra gives me a pointy look. I don't think this is necessarily due to the bra, because I'm having some fit issues with it in general. Underneath clothing, it doesn't look pointy at all, though. It gives a very natural shape(not unnaturally round, but not pointy or 'saggy' either)

It doesn't poke at all, although I did bend the underwires to conform with my ribcage better. This helped tremendously, as there were two points on the underwire that just put a lot of pressure on my ribs originally.

The straps are relatively wide, but they are very soft. They don't have that 'lace' edge that some straps have. They are totally smooth, which I really prefer!

If I could get the fit issues taken care of, this would easily be one of my favorite bras!

This is a great bra for my full on bottom breasts, and my breasts are quite wide set, but this bra gives a beautiful cleavage. There's a little quadraboob-effect on my bigger boob, but the 28G was way too big for my smaller breast, and it's not so bad, so I wear this bra often. It's a very comfortable bra.

This bra is gorgeous, with striped cups and chocolate velvet ribbons. I'd read that the cup isn't nearly as generous as the Deco, and to size up, but the 28FF was definitely too big. The band was still loose on the tightest hook, so it wasn't worth seeing if the 28F would fit better. The cups were really tall, and it's only the last half-inch that stood away from my chest. It fit alright with my shoulders all the way back, but you could still clearly see the line of the top of the cup through even medium shirts.

Measurements as follows (this is the plunge version, not the halfcup):

Stretched Band: 28.5"
Band Length: 24
Cup Width: 5.5"
Cup Depth: 9.5"
Wire Length: 8.75"
Cup Seperation: 0.875"
Center Gore Height: 2.125"
Wing Height: 3.75"
Strap Width: 0.75"
Hooks: 2

My F's in the regular Deco were starting to fit funny. When I bought my first one (Nude color, Spring 2009) I noticed there was a crease in the bottom of the cup. I always thought it was a style flaw, and it never was a problem until recent when my other 3 were doing it as well but much worse (because the Nude color is really a quarter size bigger in cup than the others since the ... dye shrank them). With suggestions on here I ordered this a cup size larger. I was worried it would be gigantic but when I opened the box yesterday I knew it would fit. I tried it on and the cups were perfect! No dent, no crease, no overspill on the sides or tops, the shape was now more rounded and less pointy. I tried on one of my F's to be sure and there was definitely a difference. And I wore it out last night, no problems whatsoever! I forgot it was even there! =D I'm one of those women who can get away with wearing a size bigger in band due to comfort and health reasons. This has 2" of negative ease around my 26" ribcage (measured loose. Pulled super tight and no air I'm 23.75"), so size 28 fits. Someone had made a comment on Freya's FB page about this particular bra running too large in the band. I do not find that to be the case. At it's maximum stretch it's only 28.5", so this runs true to size in band. If you stretch it more than that it ruins the integrity and shape of the bra, so I have no idea what that person was talking about...

Pros:
-Smooth, seamless cups provide rounded shape and modesty.
-Band runs true to size. And there are 2 layers of fabric both on the side wings and back band, with the wings being non-stretch. I think this helps it to not stretch out so much as the others because of the stretch lace and matching Lycra underneath. It also makes it thicker so to me it supports better.
-Cute detailing all throughout. The band is full lace and there is a picot lace trim along the top and bottom of band, as well as straps.
-The color matches the orange/red detail on the Ivy Longline, so instead of 2 sets, I really have 4 to mix and match =)
-Fabric and straps are both comfortably. Lace is not itchy.

Cons:
-My boobs are a little far apart, about 2 fingers width at the top and they're kind of splayed I guess, so I don't get cleavage in this size. I do with the F, but I also get overspill. This isn't a huge problem for me since I don't wear lowcut tops, but for others with a similar shape it may be, if that's the look you want.

No other complaints. I love this bra!! =)

This is the bra that may make me finally concede that freya just isn't right for me. I wish the fit section of this website allowed us to pick more than one option, as I could only pick one I went with cup not completely full, but truth is it is also cutting just a bit, and this is what often happens, it is cutting at the front and empty at the top. The cutting wasn't much and I could certainly live with it, but the empty, puckering fabric at the top was terrible. This is a great bra - in spite of not fitting it was comfortable and supportive, but the shape of the cup just seems to be a completely different shape to my breast. I have tried so many freya bras now and think I may have to finally give up!

I wish this fit as it is beautiful, but unfortunately I need to continue searching for a Freya bra that actually fits. As so often happens, the bra was too high at the top - it goes up really high at the top of the cup and I don't completely fill it out at the top, but if I went down a size it would be cutting at the bottom of the cup. Plus because it is so high it looks a bit funny and it would show under lots of clothes.

I liked this so much a bought a second one. I have been wearing the first for over a year (on rotation of course) and it's now stretching out so I'm on the middle hooks and will soon need the tightest hooks. But it's still a very pretty design and looks great on. has the usual Freya narrow and deep cups set close together, which I need. And really I like this style which pushes the girls up more than together (which I feel the plunge styles do). But that's just a matter of taste.
