This review is for the "fashion color" Pistachio (mint green). Purchased Mid-June 2011. Measured brand new & unstretched before wearing.
Thought it would be really just a bit darker. Color is kind of a very green-tinted white. Cute blue/white cookies-&-cream bows. It's quite luminescent and shows through light-colored shirts. But I like pairing it with yellow!
I love this bra but started on 2nd hook as the band is loose on me. Around the time of this purchase I found a local store (WOW!) carrying Black 28G but found it just a bit too tight in the band and cup. Anticipate 28GG would fit even better (with an extender for the first few months) if it were made!
This review is for the "fashion color" Lupin. Purchased Late-May 2011.
Love this color and the tiny black/white zebra-esque bows. Everyone's eyes interpret colors differently. This bra looks like a deep Magenta (read: not purple but a shade of PINK).

This review is for the "fashion color" Charcoal. Purchased Mid-February 2011.
Since I purchased and wore the patterned "Frida" version first, please see my full review here: http://bra.pe/SLx/.

Do the three bras fit exactly the same? I read in another review that different colors wore out differently.
Good question. They all seem to fit exactly the same although now I want to measure each color and add their measurements. I can see Deco charcoal measures just a bit different than "Deco" Frida. Hmm!
Reviews for each color added! Measurements vary ever so slightly.
That's great then. 4 properly measured bras will outweigh other bras. :) Thanks!
This is probably my new favorite bra. It is so pretty and has a cute ruffle detail along the bottom of the bra. The cups are deep and narrow, like usual with Freya. Nothing pokes and the material does not itch; very high quality. The band may be a little firmer than other Freya 30 bands that I have, but not to the point of being uncomfortable.
Meh. This was my first Freya, and it's just okay. I really don't wear it anymore. The cups used to pinch (quadraboob) and now they are too loose. I think the non-stretchy fabric of the cups is not very forgiving to shape/size changes. Also gives me a pointy shape.
I wear this bra more than any of my others, because it is comfortable and doesn't peak out at the neckline like other high cut bras would. Plunge bras are the most comfortable for me because I am young and my tissue is still fairly perky at the top and full-cup bras always cut into it, even if they fit on the bottom portion of the cup. I should have ordered a band size smaller because it stretched out too soon, but I altered it at the back (simple with the design it has), and now it fits great. I've had it for about 2.5 years. It also gives a very natural-looking shape, instead of round boob armor like some molded cups I've tried.
I love Freya Deco. BRA size 30G cup is very fit for me, I had this bra since short time so didn't wear it much.This bra give me some spillage from top. With the 30G,this bra is extremely comfortable for me and I'll keep buying the Deco in the future.My breasts sometimes overflow or not fill the cups completely. The straps are wide on me, Fit issues are not much. but above all shape and size is good and justify me.
