I'm surprised that this bra fit me, given that I generally fit vertical seamed balconettes. The band is actually firmer than I expected to be, since I've heard it runs large. It might be because I haven't quite "broken" it in yet. The gore tacks perfectly. I fill out the cups, plus it gives me some cleavage, which is super alien to me! The wires perfectly encase my breast tissue. My breasts have an average to wide-ish root (I think, at least.) with an even, leaning towards full on bottom shape. They're also slightly shallow.

I got the bra in beige, so the appearance isn't anything exciting. It gives a nice shape from the front, but it looks a bit... squashed(?) from the side. The cups themselves are seamless and practically invisible under t-shirts. This is also the only beige bra that is actually pale enough to match my skin tone!

This bra is a lousy fit for my full-on-top breasts. After wearing this bra for an hour, I suffer from significant quadboob but only in my lopsided breast (so much that my nipple shows), which is very annoying and uncomfortable. There is absolutely no give if your breasts are not uniformly sized. I know I could size up in the cup but there are too many things about this bra that I hate. I do not like how the bra squashes my breast together (cleavage). This could perhaps be a nice feature for some women, but for me, I need separation and could care less about cleavage and smashing my boobs together. Another thing I don't like about this bra is that I feel the padding is too thick and stiff. Freya is my go-to brand for a great fit, but the Deco failed me.

The top of the 28E - Freya » Deco (4234) cup gapes a bit after I settle into the bra a little after swooping and scooping. There is a noticeable gap between the top of the cup and my breast after about 30 minutes. It looks like the cup shape is a little too "round" for my breast shape, but other than that minor issue, the bra fits fairly well.

I would liken it closer to a 30E over a 28E, which is common among Freya bras.

Did not fill my huge expectations. Smaller cup was better on volume but wires digged painfully in sides. In this bigger cup size wires fitted great but cups are a little bit too "deep" so there's too much space in top section. Or at least my boobs needs much adjusting and scooping even during the day to stay in right position.

When I put this on I couldn't believe how comfortable it was att first, it's supportive, looks good and lies perfectly smooth beneath t-shirts. If you have wide breasts like me you might find the wires to narrow, my breasts are more narrow in the bottom and the wires don't come up high in the center so for me it still allows for the width there (and gives nice cleavage) but maybe it won't for you.

At this point, I am confused as to why the 28E fits better than the 28DD<- which supposedly runs large thus I would need a 28D! I'm thinking probably because the wires are much wider, and my boobs are kinda wide for their size.

What I love most about the Freya Deco is that it lifts the bust super high and you get an incredible shape from the side. From the front they look good, but I wouldn't say great because if you like wearing tight fitting shirts and have smaller busts, the deco sort of pushes everything to the center, thus looks kind of strange because there's no extra padding at the sides to balance out the shape.

Overall it's a great bra and I recommend it to larger (narrow - average width) and smaller (definitely narrow) breasts.

I've altered the center gore on this bra so that the wires just touch in the middle, as I do with every bra.

This bra gives me the most amazing rounded shape, and it's definitely my workhorse bra. It's quite comfortable, and I don't find myself adjusting much at all. The band could be smaller (but I'm a 26-27" ribcage, so it's not the bra's fault), and I usually wear it on the tightest hook. I plan on adding extra elastic to it when I have a sewing machine.

I didn't find the cup height to be bothersome (many women say they're too tall), but I have a fairly long torso. Obviously I found the gore to be too long, but my breasts almost touch in the center, so that's true of every bra.

Too small in the cups, but nice in the band, deco fits me well in 28FF.

Color is pomegranate, will be listing this one, it's been gently worn.

Felt pretty uncomfortable when first put on, underwire digs in, but this does ease off. Very, very supporting and lovely shape. Makes me look quite 'booby' though! Good cleavage. Great under t shirts, seamless and soft.
