Band is very stretchy so I sized down from 38F to 36F. Fits a little too snug in the 36 but doesn't ride up. Thethe wire doesn't go high enough under the arms to enclose all my tissue. The gore is also too narrow for my wider-set boobs, which causes wrinkles on both sides of the gore. The clam shell print is very cute.

Really comfortable, fits and holds really well without being matronly and ugly. Nice, low neckline. Wide straps for generously cut tops.

Overall, this is a nice bra. I have a 35" ribcage, and I feel like I should have sized down to a 34" band because it feels way too loose and not supportive unless I put it on tighter hooks. I fill the cups mostly, but they seem to be pretty high so there's a bit of gapping at the top of the cup only, which I don't mind. Everything else is comfortable and it does give me a tiny bit of soft cleavage so I'll probably end up keeping this bra so long as I can fit in the band!

I want to like this bra, because it was the first bra that I thought fit me correctly! After trying on some others I've realized that the cup size is a little too small for me. I like the Freya half-cups a lot, but this band is too tight and uncomfortable for me. The frills along the band and the lacy material makes it itchy and uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time. (I should mention that I'm really big on comfy bras). However, this bra is super cute, and I love that it comes in a traditional black color with no crazy patterns. My breasts fill the cups nicely but I think I'd like it better if I had ordered it a cup size bigger.

Started out good. Stretched out too much too soon.

- Band feels tight and seems to be wrinkle as it stretches
- Underwire is comfortable, maybe a tiny bit wider than it should be, but not uncomfortably so
- Straps are very comfortable
- The cups seem to fit well; however, while the inner part of the top edge lies flat, there is some gapping near where the strap attaches
- The gore lies flat and is comfortable
- I like the shape and the fact that it gives me a little bit of cleavage while still being comfortable

Such a cute bra! It is really tight on me, though. I think it is because I am quite heavy considering my band size, and I think my stomach is actually too large for the longline band. It is wearable, but I wouldn't want to wear it all day. The fit is decent as well. I love the thick, but non-molded cups. This is one I might hold into in hopes that if I lose a little weight, it might fit better.

Lovely plunge.
It is just too small in the cup for me. (Need 1-2 cup sizes bigger, but it was cheap and I was still in denial that I could be a UK G). In the right size I think it may still lack Lowe projection that I need. But nice cleavage. Also I quad out just in the center toward the gore, perhaps I need more inner lower projection. (This bra like many assumes filer in middle/toward sides, but I am fuller in the center toward gores).
Gore nearly tacks, which is pretty good for me (close set, FOB to even). Since cups a bit small, my boobs push the band down below infra mammary fold. I quad out the center a bit. In some positions the top of the cup gapes, and in some positions it cuts in, I think that is just due to the molded cup.
Pro: Very nice rounded shape, cleavage, and fully adjustable straps.

It's not the best shape for my boobs that's for sure. It's wearable but not under a tight t-shirt. It's worth keeping for that "every other bra I own is dirty" day but not good for much else.

This bra gives me a nice shape and I like that it's lightly padded. I had to go down a cup or two, but I hear that's not unusual with Freya bras. I also have to wear it on the tightest hook because I bought it on sale and it seems that it was tried on extensively. I like everything about this except I wish the wires on the sides were a little taller, and I get some strange wrinkling/puckering at the top of the cups that look like the lace trim shrank and pulls at the cup fabric. It's possible this bra was a customer return.

Love this bra. It's my first unlined bra in 8 years, and I feel great in it. The fit is perfect and the comfort is high. It's the first bra in ages (ever?) that stayed in the fold beneath my breasts all day (I have pretty high-set breasts).
And beyond that, it's ADORABLE! Feminine and fun without being too twee or girly.
It made me feel a tiny bit pointy when I first put it on, but I noticed that after wearing it for just a day, it seemed to conform more to the shape of my breast and now looks a little rounder, like in the pictures. Still, it's got great lift and I feel like it made me look thinner!

This bra is slightly small in the cups for me right now, but as I am losing weight I think it will fit perfectly in 1-2 weeks. I prefer foam cup bras as I feel they make my breasts look more even and I love the cleavage this bra gives me.

This bra is so gorgeous with a gray tuxedo pattern in the cups and a teal lace/velour ribbon along the top. My breast are slightly large for this bra, but since I'm losing weight I think it will be perfect in a week or two.

This and the Freya Totally Tartan Padded Half Cup Bra (1423) are exactly the same in my book. The fit the same on me. I think I could go up a cup size to an FF and it would still fit, but for now these two are my best fitting ones, even if they are slightly small in the cups for me.

The Deco appears to be a fabulous molded cup plunge bra, good for low cut tops and feeling sexy. The cups are made of soft foamy goodness with bow details at the straps (front), and between the cups. The overall construction appears to be solid and well-made. I wish it had three hooks in the back rather than two, but that's alright. The straps feel really soft, but not wimpy. They are attached to the back of the bra with a plastic round ring. The overall appearance is pretty basic. Aside from the bows, it's pretty plain.
I thought my poor soft boobs would fall right out the middle ... of this bra, but boy was I wrong. I absolutely love the cleavage and lift it gives me, and not to mention the feeling of confidence! I wore it to work today and I couldn't stop pulling my now poorly fitting shirt tighter around the bust to marvel at how wonderful my boobs look! Truthfully, this bra is a smidge too small for me (getting a teeny bit of spillage out the sides, but I'm not sure if that's just because I'm squishy or that it's small), and I'll be trying it in a 36FF next time, but the F cup will do perfectly for now. Can't wait to try this under some dresses and tank tops for summer!

This bra was purchased on 17.09.2008 and in my notes it was described as fitting on the loosest hook and being supportive. By 2009 I was spilling out of the top and stopped wearing it.
This review is being written in 2013. The bra looks fine, as it has been in storage rather than recently worn, but I think the elastic in the band may have degraded over time, because the stretch measurement seems very extreme at 95 cm.

I think this bra fits pretty well considering I'm still figuring out my size! It's comfortable for all day wear and I don't fall out of it!

Such a lovely first introduction to Freya that I discovered in Bloomingdale's a few years ago. It's been a while since I've worn it, but I remember the lift being great.

Turns out I am more of a 36E, and half cup styles work better for me.

Although I think this is showing as "doesn't fit" I think it's the best so far. The one big dealbreaker on all the bras I've tried thus far has been the straps and cups digging into my armpit / pecs. I'm still working the best shapes for me. This works the best because the section between the where strap meets the cup and the top of the underwire is lower than on my other bras. I only wish the straps were more centered. I also don't *quite* fill it but it looks okay under a shirt.
The fabric feels really nice!
