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. just sliiiiightly too small.
- 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 (but still not gentle).

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.

Edit: I've noticed that both of these will gradually ride down in the front even when I hook them tight enough to leave angry red marks on my skin. The underwire marks are much lower than my IMF at the end of the day even though I'm very deliberate about adjusting it properly when I put it on. Too shallow???

Edit 2: Having also tried the La Senza Itec in 32B, Betsey Johnson Forever Perfect in 30D, and Thirdlove Everything 2.0 in 30C, the Freya Deco is still the best strapless I've found. It's not as comfortable as the super-soft Everything or the Itec, but it's overall the most workable. I'll hang on to it until I find something better.

  I love your review's! I think I have a reason as to why the bra keeps riding down in the front. From looking at your pictures it appears that your bra band is not sitting parallel. It looks like it is sitting much lower in the back then in the front, which would cause the front of the bra to gradually slip down till it sits parallel with the back of the bra.
