I probably should have just saved my money but I did not.

I wanted a strapless bra so badly.

But the thing I have to accept is, there's no bra to hold up my boobs without straps.

Freya Deco Strapless is not necessarily small. I had a 32G before this one that I was just too upset about to enter in the database (sorry about that)... I read previously that the band runs tight on this one but the 32 was just sliding down my torso so I got a 30GG instead. The band is a little tight on it but it's not as bad as it looks in the photos. ... I can breathe, move, and I can pull it way away from my body. The silicon on it is really strong, though! It grips very strongly and doesn't budge.

And at first look, the cups kinda fit too. This bra is very projected, so I don't think projection is my issue. I honestly can't say why it fits so awkward :/ It might be because of the slings inside? Honestly at times it feels like the cups are even too big.

I don't know, I can't quite tell.

The wires are really comfy tho, and although they are too wide they're not that much of a bother to me. The gore sits nicely against my sternum, no issues there.

I think if I were in a pinch and absolutely needed a strapless bra this would work. A long long time ago tho, my one strapless bra was my workhorse bra, so I'm really bummed this wouldn't work the same https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I was searching for a bra that would go with my wedding dress and it seems to me that I have succeeded thanks to a lovely shop in the capital, where the shop assistent spent almost two hours with me... The cup shape and size is almost perfect, although my larger breast is almost spilling out near the central gore (however, the larger cup was simply too big to even consider going up one size). The band is quite loose - fits well on the tightest hook, but it´s mostly the silicone stripes help to keep the bra in place. However, since I usually wear 28 bands, I ... would say this one runs pretty tight.

The shape is nice, rounded and uplifted and looks really well under my clothes without making my breasts seem inappropriately "big", which is a common concern for me. It´s a simple, basic bra. I plan wearing it with the straps on, since I would not feel secure without them. They can be placed in two places on the cups and the band both, which I appreciate, since I have more central fullness and thus I can move the straps to prevent gaping near my armpits and spillage near the center. The side wings are a good height, reaching nowhere near my armpits (which is something my other moulded/padded bras - no matter how much I love them and really want to wear them - tend to do, especially the 28J - Curvy Kate » Starlet Moulded Bra (CK2501) ), which made my armpits hurt. So, if you are short, this is a good option.

Five months later: EDIT: I don´t really know what happened, but the spillage is now very significant and the bra is not wearable for me anymore. I hope it will fit one of my friends, since I can´t return it after bending the underwires... I don´t think it´s a size issue, though. The shape is awfully wrong for my close set, very full on top breasts. Perhaps the tissue has migrated? Who knows.

Originally purchased in size 28G and had to return due to overly tight band. Just received 30FF in the mail today, so I haven't had the chance to take it out for a test run... but so far I'm very pleased with the fit, definitely runs smaller in the band and larger in the cups than the regular Freya Deco Plunge.. I also find the cups to be a little shallow (I have high-profile style implants) but, at the same time, this also helps give a little more of a "push up" effect which I don't mind at all. Overall am very pleased... will update after I've worn it out for a full day!

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 wanted to love this bra, but couldn't. First and foremasr, the band is insanely tight. I could barely fasten it, and the rubbery lining (not sure how to describe it) makes it even worse, digging in constantly. The wires and cups are both very wide, extending well into my armpits. The cups are fairly shallow, but because it is so wide I got gaping rather than quadboob. Overall, just wrong. Would work better for a shallow/wide 30FF or a regular/wide 30F.

This is my first properly fitting bra, and the only one that fits besides Comexim. I have owned this bra for 2 years in both colors. Despite my underbust measuring 24.5 inches snugly and this being a 28, it stays up just fine. The reason for this is the firmness of the band; after 2 years it is quite difficult to stretch it to 27 inches. I failed to measure it when new, but it feels pretty much the same to me. The cups, gore, and straps are all too wide(set) causing me to feel just a bit constricted and not as free/mobile as I would ... prefer, but I do not mind as they are all to a minor degree. The majority of the time I do not notice any of the issues. What I really enjoy is the seamlessness of it and its invisibility under clothing. Manages to have barely any to no gaping on my smaller side.

It's strapless and seamless so that is why I will still repurchase it after finding Comexim.

Thanks for Reading! 😊

This bra fits like a glove! It is a true multiway strap bra - it has 2 positions for each strap on each side in front and back! I feel comfortable wearing it without the straps as well, since it fits so well and the band is tight enough. I never thought moulded bra would fit me, since trying them never usually brings the best results, regular Freya Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) does not fit, because the cups are too open and the gore is too low and my boobs just tend to escape. So hooray!

I bought this bra on eBay after reading reviews saying that it was ideal for wide and shallow chests, and I have to agree! This bra fits true to size for me and is quite tight. My only fit issue is that I have some slight gaping on the inner part of the cups near the gore because my breasts are a little more wide-set, but other than that it is a perfect fit for me.

This is one of the bras I bought when I was still clueless, but knew the 34DDs I was wearing weren't right. I knew I should have been in a bigger cup size, but I tried on this bra in every size from 30F to 30G and 32E to 32G and kept coming up with crumpling at the base of the cups. I had no idea how to interpret this at the time, so I kept the one closest to the size I was used to. Even in the correct size, I still get creasing at the bottom of the cups in this style.
