AW2011 - Teal with white dots version of the Deco
More...
This bra is discontinued.
As with my regular Deco and Carly, I love this bra. This is beautiful with the teal and the polka dots! Love it! As with the others, I'd have a better fit with a 28GG, but the squish isn't horrible. It's overall very comfortable and I am a big fan!

The band of this bra is kind of big for a 28. I usually use the middle or tightest hook setting as the day goes on. The cups are just a wee bit too big, but it's definitely acceptable and changes as the day goes on (not as much gap my 28FF regular deco though).
I quite like this as an everyday or to work bra, but I do wish the band was a bit tighter.
UPDATE:
This bra no longer fits. I lose 5 pounds and 2-3 cup sizes.
I will not be repurchasing this bra as I have since learned that plunge/ deco bras are not suited for my breasts. I need a higher centre, the deep plunge allows my soft tissue to settle in the centre. Not a nice look.

Very comfortable and flattering fit minus the bit of quadraboob. Going up one cup size should fix the problem.

Seriously gorgeous bra. Smooth, satiny material. I wanted to keep it, but it was way too big in the cups. While the 28F Deco fits well in strapless, I think I must be a 28E in most Freyas.
Not rated well because it did not fit. If I had this bra in the correct size, it would be excellent across the board.
This bra is not owned any more

Hi there,
I no longer own this bra, but thanks for asking - I was able to trade it fairly quickly on Ravelry. I see that it's out of stock at Bravissimo, but have you checked at breakoutbras.com? It looks like they still have a 28F in the drop-down menu: http://www.breakoutbras.com/product/Freya-Crystal-Molded-Plunge-Underwire-Bra/Underwire-Bras
Based on your profile, it looks like you're waiting on the 26" Loran from the big bra bar site - which cup size did you order? I'm still on the fence as to whether the 26FF would fit me, or if I need a 26F (which they aren't offering yet)
Thanks for asking, and good luck tracking down the Crystal - it's gorgeous and I wish it had fit me.
Aww, thanks anyways. I didn't know you could trade non-yarn related items there, cool! I got the G cup but I'm not sure how that brand fits compared to others. Freya I take F, Panache an FF, and Fantasie a 30E/DDD. I think you're about a cup smaller than me based on the bras between us, so perhaps try the 26FF. I know a lot of the sizes got wiped out pretty quickly. As of the 9th they had 1 26FF left, though no gaurantees it's still available. Hopefully they make more! Thank you for the link as well! =) (Sorry if this got posted twice, IE had a problem and I don't know what happened to the other comment I left)
Come check out the Bust Line group - http://www.ravelry.com/groups/the-bust-line
A few of us tried the grab bags at breakout bras a few months ago and the ones that didn't work wound up on the for sale/ trade thread. I was able to swap out the ones that didn't work for me for yarn.
I have a 30F listed for sale that would probably fit you (band runs snug, cups one size too big for me) but if you've got the Loran on the way, it's probably too similar of a look (sexy and royal blue) for you to consider it. I'm planning to order the Loran if I can sell this one - it seems silly since it doesn't fit, but it seems wrong to order more as long as it's hanging around, ha ha It sounds like the 26FF would probably be the right size for me, though.
That's a really pretty bra. I will have to pass though. The cup depth is listed as 8" (and I've seen another 30F in that brand with a smaller cup depth). I need between 8.75 to 9" for a depth (8.5 at the very least, but that only gets worn when I've had no salt or water, lol). Thank you though. I hope you're able to find a buyer/trader for it.
Thanks for looking! I'm impressed that you know and understand exactly what measurements work for you - I still have a lot to learn about bra sizing and fitting!
