I appreciate that I'll give it a try ..altho I have tried several elomi and what I have found is that there great at first but a week or 2 layer there stretched and everything is sagging again ...basically what I need is a Viking brass bra and I found that in freya deco . I will try your suggestion as I'm desperate to find mymatch again thank you @

If you want super-strong bras, you should look at panache, but they dont make any molded in your size. I dont have any molded at all.

I found curvy Kate I just got one and love it holds like freya

So I don't have any pictures of myself in this bra because I returned it before coming to this site. But to describe the fit: I had major gapping at the top of the cups and the band was uncomfortably tight on the loosest hook. I filled every inch of the bra but the top. The cups came up right under my armpits and chafed when I moved my arms. When I looked at how all of it fit, I noticed this strange bulge on the top elastic of the band, just past the cups. The way it looked made me think that my rib cage wasn't big enough to fit the top elastic and yet was too large to comfortably fit the bottom elastic. I tried this bra again in a 30E and a 32DD, neither was comfortable and both had the same strange top elastic situation. I really wanted to like this bra but it just didn't fit.

I want to like the Deco, I really do.
I love plunge moulded bras. I wear a ton of t-shirts; it's practically an essential. But this one only fits me great if my body is on its A-game. No binging on a dinner out, no slouching, no moving around, no hormonal influences.
The band fits great, similar to the 34GG. The cups, well, I'm too soft for these. They cut into the layer of fat under my breasts (against my ribs) so that if I wear this bra all day, by hour 8, I'm ready to take the thing off. I get a lot of issues with my extra boob/underarm transition fat looking stupid where the straps meet the cup. It's not uncomfortable, it's just not a flattering look and I feel like a orangutan.Updated on May 15, 2015 Flag this

Oh, man, I know what you mean!
I didn't realise I had broad shoulders until I started knitting sweaters. I love the look of a shrug or a short cardigan, but it makes me look like a linebacker. So now, I just admire it on OTHER people.
-
Bahahah I've literally thought the exact same thing about myself - I look like a linebacker! I was a gymnast and my shoulders and arms are way overdeveloped for my body. They're out of proportion and make my top half look so heavy and shrugs and cap sleeves are my mortal enemy!
-
I'm thinking I should call my mom and thank her for giving me a choice between going back to just taking several dance classes or sticking with gymnastics and only one dance class, when I was a kid. My shoulders have always been very squared-off and broad, which only became more noticeably so and especially in comparison to my mom's narrow, sloping shoulders once I hit puberty. There are many things I avoid wearing to minimize the linebacker look - cap sleeves and spaghetti straps for example. I don't like the look of shrugs on me, so not being one who can pull off wearing those isn't terribly disappointing. :P
There are benefits to broad shoulders - for example, I'm only 5'1.5" but my shoulders are why I can wear many bras with wide set straps while someone the same height who has narrow shoulders will constantly find themselves dealing with straps slipping off. Now, the whole height thing is an entirely different matter - I would have loved to be at least 5'4" like my mom and I'd have been ecstatic over growing to an adult height of around 5'7"-5'8". Unfortunately that wasn't in the genetic cards for me but life has gone on regardless. :)
We don't have much say in how our boobs are going to be - the width and height of the breast roots are what they are. Not that it makes things easier to accept when finding bras that fit and work with our shape is difficult. Stay positive and hold on to believing that those bras are out there - you will find them. :)

Thanks, valentine, for the words of encouragement!
I don't have the blessings of being physically coordinated, but I am glad I learned early on that I can't have cap sleeves or shrugs or the like. I do love my tank tops, but I love them as underpinnings to a cardigan or a button-down shirt left open on the top buttons. I definitely have a style rut! Cardis and jeans for life!
I didn't even know women dealt with straps slipping off until I joined Bratabase, TBH. I see it on pictures of women now and, you're right, that is something I will NEVER have to deal with.
I'm lucky that I am wild about my Natori Reflex, even though it doesn't fit perfectly by Bratabase standards, I love it to the point that I forget I am wearing it.
-
I have a couple of Natori t-shirt style bras, as they're the only ones I've found that I can wear with lower necklines - and their nipple concealing ability for when my mom comes out to So-Cal for a visit. She and my aunt are anti-visible-nipples even though everyone has them. I've tried the argument that anyone who stares at other people's nipples is the one with a problem but it doesn't seem to convince them to change their minds. So, I wear my foam-dome bras to skip the repeated reminders about my nipples. (sigh) One of these days I'm just going to show up to family dinner wearing one of those trashy bras that are basically just the underwire attached to the bra band that are sold at sex shops and Frederick's of Hollywood used to have. Under the thinnest shirt I can find that's not outright sheer material.
A friend of mine didn't know that bra straps could be adjusted until she was around 20 years old and her new boyfriend at the time showed her - I asked her what she thought those little plastic/metal sliders on the straps were for, and her answer was "Decoration?"...lol. She still occasionally has strap slippage due to her proportionally more narrow shoulders than the wide set strap placement in her bra size is going to be designed to accommodate.

For reference, my measurements are:
1: 30.5
2: 27
3: 36
4: 37.5
5: 35.5
Size: 30F or 28FF
Full on top, slightly wide roots.
When I first got this bra, I was wearing a 32F.
Good: At first, this bra fit wonderfully. It was comfortable, had a low and tacking gore, and the fabric is soft. The tone of the fabric matched my skin tone well and didn't show through clothes. It gave my breasts a nice, rounded shape. It added a bit of enhancement, but nothing major. I felt like my breasts looked awesome even in a baggy t-shirt. It was my go-to bra for a long time.
Neutral: The bra's shape is not the shape ... of my breasts. It was not so different as to cause problems, but it could potentially for some. My breasts are not as natural round as the Deco shapes them to be.
The cups on this go fairly high. When wearing a low-cut shirt, there's a chance that they'll show. However, the gore is pretty short, so the center is not too much of a problem.
Bad: I should note that over the time I owned this bra, I lost weight. Both my underbust and bust measurements changed a bit, so that should be taken into account.
However, as others say, this band stretches. Not only is it stretchy at first, but over time it stretched out badly. I would recommend sizing down. The cups also tend to flair out a bit near the armpits. They did this a little at first, but as I lost weight and couldn't quite fill them, the cups flaired badly and had a floppy look. This may have something to do with the band stretching as well, but I can't say for sure.
The fabric is also fairly thick. This can look a little strange under thin materials. If the cup is not sitting flush against your skin, it has a tendency to show through.
Results: I absolutely love this bra, despite the small issues I had with it. I plan on buying another in my new size. I'd definitely recommend it, but I would caution you to make sure it fits properly or you're going to run into problems, more so than with other bras. Even so, it's my favorite.

I’ve had this same style of bra in sizes 30G, 28GG, 28G, and now 28FF due to weight loss over the last few years. It’s tried and true and a staple in my bra wardrobe. The straps are thick and firm, but tend to be a little wide set. The cups are a nice plunge shape, but no matter what size I have I’ve always had a slight gap along the edge of the cup. The wires are more on the narrow side with more projection in the cup. The band is firm but always tends to run on the larger side and I almost always end up wearing it on the tightest setting. No matter what size I end up in I always have this bra in my collection.

Thank you for your reviews of this and Cleo Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) . I also have implants, and am about to venture into trying some multi part cup bras. I'm approximately a 28G/30F/30FF. I have a 28G Deco on backorder, so I have to patiently wait for that!

Smooth, full coverage bra that creates a lot of cleavage. Mine is a dark grey color with two buttons and a bow on the center gore. Mostly forward projection, but tissue does collect under my arms. Creates a round shape. Padding adds volume, so doesn't fit under VERY fitted shirts. Gore is low and remains flush with my chest. The side wings are too low under my arms and/or the wire angles outward towards my back instead of upward- side boob spills out a bit. Good support for a foam cup, but not for every-day use if you will be on your feet all day.

I really really love this bra. I'm a fan of Decos in general, and I have this one in the pistachio green with matching thong. After a few washes, it is so flippin' soft and comfortable. As with all Freyas, the band is pretty stretchy, so I plan to probably take it in a bit. The wires fit me pretty well, I'm petite and my breasts are narrow and I have no poking or pain under my arms.

As others have said, this runs a full size big in the band and cup. I normally wear 28F and 26F/24FF would have been ideal, but Freya only makes bands up to 28.

I have this in the "nude" colourway, which is just skintone coloured. I would say this shade would suit light to light-medium skintones. Probably not 'nude' enough for those who are pale, tanned or dark.
The band is way too large for my 26 inch underbust, of course. I have to wear this on the tightest hooks immediately, and will probably have to alter it very quickly.
I'd say this ... bra probably suits those who have evenly shaped to FoT breasts. The shape is definitely not compatible with my full-on-bottom boobs. Although the depth is ridiculously small, the top of the cups sort of have a straight line instead of curving towards the body. This bra demands quite a bit of upper fullness, which I lack. I end up with gaping and the top of the cups curling because my boobs don't have a lot of upper fullness and they refuse to conform to the cups.
Although this shares many similarities with the Parfait Casey since they're both bras that run big in the cups, there's a few differences. First off- the Casey bra's top actually curves toward the body, making it more easy to accomodate to the breast. The material of the cups are also not as frigid as the Deco. Overall, the Casey is the clear winner, though I still have to alter the band.
I have now altered the band down to a 26 and it fits me A LOT better. Although it still isn't a perfect fit, I now have cleavage and very minimal gaping.

Due to this being a plunge bra, the cup depth measurement is a bit misleading. The deepest part of the bra actually isn't in between the two wires: this is to make room for exposed cleavage I guess
It certainly does give some cleavage.
I found overall that the bra fit well. It's a bigger cup size than some Freya bras. It certainly requires more projection than the 28E - Freya » Hopscotch Padded Longline Bra (1633) and a little bit more than the 28E - Freya » Flourish Padded Longline Bra (1543) as well.
Having said that, I really like it. It does need both some upper fullness and good posture to stop gaping, as well as a relatively narrow root.Updated on Jul 17, 2014 Flag this

I took my usual size in this despite everyone saying it runs large. The band seems TTS, if a bit stretchy. There's a bit of gaping on the top edge of the cup, especially on my smaller breast. Not sure if a cup size down will help as I think it would ultimately be too small. Straps are a bit wider than I'd like, but because the material is so soft it's not irritating. Gives excellent lift and pretty killer cleavage, nice rounded shape. All in all, it's a beautiful, comfortable bra, and I'm fairly sure I'll be keeping it, though I may try it in in a 32E just to see how it fits.

If you can find it, you could try the Elomi Bijou. Elomi and Freya are both owned by the same parent company (Eveden) and the Bijou is intended to be similar to the Freya Deco but for those needing larger band sizes. I just checked and they make it in a 42GG.
