I'm actually really surprised at this bra. I ordered this bra on sale, before I realized the extent of my tissue migration, and started thinking it'd be tried on and promptly returned. Or if I kept it, I figured it would fit like my Hatty - a bit too wide, a bit too gappy at the top, but would serve its multi-way bra purpose and that would be that.

Well, these cups measure 5.5" - same as my Hatty. Depth is smaller than my Hatty at 9" but is right on target for a bra with an index size of 28:9. I ... probably could have done a GG for the sake of my bigger boob, but I don't think it's quadding enough to bother me. Time will tell. The good part is the Deco-gap at the top of the cups is much less pronounced in this style. Maybe it's due to the seam/edging at the top of the cup. I've heard that really stands out under shirts in other styles like the Spotlight and Vibe, but I haven't tried this bra on under a tighter shirt yet to find out. The cups are too shallow at the bottom, and fold over under my boob after a couple hours' wear. They're molded like every other Deco variation, and theoretically seamless under shirts. This is my only ivory color bra. The weird pattern on the band is meh. It needs to be a bit more vibrant, because as is it kinda looks like a stain.

The band has THREE HOOKS! Let's all take a moment to appreciate that. Not only that, it's a FIRM Freya band, stretching to 27.75"! Yes!!!! I wonder if Freya did this because the straps can be removed and it could be worn as a strapless? I don't see myself wearing it as a strapless, because of the cup construction, but regardless having a firm 3 hook band from Freya is like finding a unicorn.

UPDATE: Sold it, once I realized the wires sat half an inch below my IMF and half an inch outside my side root. It got really uncomfortable after a couple of hours.

This was my first experience with Freya - I knew I had to give their famous deco a try, especially since they make it in a multi-way!

This cup size sorta works on me: though the slight gaping is undeniable, the cups are firm enough that no wrinkling or awkward shaping results. I can fill the cups if I swoop and scoop, but I immediately begin to un-fill them again, as this bra is so loose on me that it would require constant adjustment. Can’t fill part of the bottom of the cup - I can fill it at the front center, but have a patch that extends diagonally ... backward toward the band of empty space - thankfully the fabric is firm enough that it doesn’t buckle. Good amount of padding coverage - not too much, not too little. Wings and cup are MUCH too high, and the painfully cut into my underarms (see photos). Band feels a little too tall on my back, like it’s taking up more space than I’d like. Cute color and button detail on the band, simple and stylish. Definitely need a larger band size - it painfully cuts in, and is a struggle to close on the loosest hooks. The lace on the band is not at all itchy, which was a nice surprise! (I usually hate lacy bands). Multiway straps are long enough and wide enough, and hook into place at the top of the cup and in the back (see photos).

Overall, it’s a good bra, but just not great for me in this size. I’d consider trying it in a 30FF/30F or 32F/32E.

This bra is beautiful; unfortunately, I've only worn it twice as the cups are just a smudge smaller than the usual Deco 28G. My left, slightly higher boob bulges right out unfortunately. Otherwise, this bra is comfortable, and the removable/fully adjustable straps are a smart addition to the Deco brand. One of the back four loops for the straps DID come undone barely one wear in, though, so not of the best quality at least there, which I found very disappointing.
