The thing I really liked about this bra was the fabric choice; I like the beige, blue and orange colours together.
The fit didn't work for me; the band fit great as usual but the cups were an issue. I'm not sure if it's the size or the way the cups are shaped, but the tops of the cups were definately cutting into me.
I also had this problem with the 28F size, although the cups were too big, the tops of them were definately snug against me. If my breasts were large enough to fill the 28F size, I think I would probably run into the same problem.
The cups on these were slightly too big for me. Not really baggy, but lots of wrinkling at the tops and even at the sides of the cups. Even though the cups were too big for me, the way it's cut, it still gave a slight flattening shape.
I bought this bra to compare with the 28E size (see review here: http://bratabase.com/browse/freya/celia-4531/28E/). The fit between the two is very close. The bottom of the cups are almost identical but the tops of the 28DD cut into me. If you find that the 28E is too big at the top, but fine at the bottom, this size and model might work for you.
"I also had this problem with the 28F size, although the cups were too big, the tops of them were definately snug against me. If my breasts were large enough to fill the 28F size, I think I would probably run into the same problem." with regards to how the top of the cup was fitting me. I think this bra is for someone who is full on the bottom, which I thought I was but this bra style just didn't work for me.
I like the bra, it gives good support. It's a little pointy, but it doesn't cut into my chest, so I can live with that. The cups are a little big, but again, this doesn't show. The fabric is beautiful, but it's not visible under my shirt, which is also a plus.
Finally! A bra from Freya that is soft & silky instead of the usual mesh. I love the fit of the cups on this one too. I find it more comfortable than my Arabella. And the red rose embroidery along the top is unique. The only (very small) quibble I have is that the straps are super wideset (& I have broad shoulders); they occasionally cut under my arm, so narrow shouldered girls may find that an issue.
Note: still really like this bra, but after 6 months I'm on the tightest hook. The band has stretched a LOT. Next time, I'll go with a 36G.
This was my first Freya bra and although the size was recommended by a professional in a lingerie store, I am not happy with the fit as the bra seems to big for me. I do not fill up the upper part of the cup and I will look for small cups in the future.
Almost there - I might be able to go down on band size, and I think I need to try one cup size up just for comparison, but over all I'm impressed and I'm sure I'll be sticking with this style.
It's a bit too small in the cups. I can fit a hand underneath, but it still feels secure - I'm planning to try a 28, but I'm nervous that might be a bit too tight since I measure just over 28 around my ribcage. The animal print ribbons are super cute and the bra gives a nice shape.
I think the 28 should fit ok, the Deco is known for running a bit large on the band as well as being very stretchy.
If they made a 28GG I'd only buy those. I'm 28.75 or 73cm and once tried on a black Deco 28G but the cups were just a bit small. I hope you find the best fit! Good luck. :)
After the 30G Freya Deco bra I bought was too big, I was excited to find the 30FF on sale.
Pros: I love the shape and support that the Freya Decos give while still being really comfortable. The cups of this bra fit just right but the band, as many reviews have noted, does come large. I fit mine on the tightest setting but figure it won't be hard to alter it in the future if it needs to be tightened. A 28G probably would have been the ideal fit for me. From the looks of the quality, I'm guessing that this bra will last for a long time to come.
Cons: The cups are set just a tad far apart for me, but not enough to be a problem. The plunge style's upper cup line does show through t-shirts.
nice shape! Very good strapless bra. The underband is very tight, so if you're between two sizes, choose the bigger band. The cups are one size bigger like the normal Freya Deco.
This bra is gorgeous, but what makes it special is the material, which has less stretch than the material used in most freya "fashion" bras. The bra holds it's shape while molding to yours, and is very supportive. True to freya sizing.
good bra. i have had a augmentation of 750cc n its VERY hard to find bras that fit right and look cute.
molded cups, straps are supportive but not too wide. the wire is wide enough to feel conforable, and cups are deep enough but dont have too much extra room. just enough to be comforable. ( may fit diffrently for those women "naturaly blessed" )
biggest thing for me with augmented breast is that the cup is deep and wide enough AND that the bra hits my breast bone.
after 4 hours in the bra dept in Nordstroms these were the winners.
i have this in purple w a zebra bow, black, and nude. i;d have all the colors if i couod find them.
love this bra!! hope they dont discontinue like they always seem the do with the good bras.
This is a very pretty bra but unfortunately doesn't fit me well. The cup does not come far enough back under my arm (giving me "side boob") and my boobs spill out the top after gentle movement.
The pros is that the material is very comfortable - it is a moulded cup and the print is fun and sexy.
This bra gives great shape and uplift. My biggest problem is that my smaller boob doesn't fill the top of the bra due to the moulding. This bra fits beautifully under the arms and at the bottom.
The Deco goes up to a GG cup, but only up to a G on a 28 band, so you won't be able to try a band down and cup larger.
