This bra is so beautiful! The crochet style lace has a vintage appeal. Unfortunately for me, the plunge style means the upper cup band cuts across my upper boob, causing quadding.

Update: Now that I know what really good fit is, this bra was just too small. I also noted that the sizing was not consistent between colors nor across the brand. Even plunge I got from Freya fit different, even though they were all the same size. They're sitting in a drawer until I decide whether to sell them or donate them.
I want to love it, but it's not The One.
The good:
Fits my IMF best of what I've tried so far, lifts the ladies well, the gore tacks perfect even though I'm close-set. Pretty projected, good support.
The bad:
Straps sit too wide, always in danger of slipping off.
The ugly:
Fits my smaller side okay, slight quadding on bigger side when first put on. As the day goes, the quadding gets worse and it starts happening on the smaller side. I have to re-seat periodically to keep it looking okay. Thinking I need to go up a cup, but then I fear the strap problem will get worse.

Band/Straps:
* The band was comfortable enough on the middle hook.
* The fabric was soft, but the stitching was subpar in a few places. For example, the straps were barely attached, and the corners would have irritated my breast tissue if the cups had fit correctly.
* The straps were uncomfortable and were too wide.

Cups:
* The fit was off; the cups were way too big with a lot of gaps on top. I also tried the 30FF and had the same problem. I think this shape just doesn't work for me.

Gore/Underwire:
* The wires seemed to properly wrap around my boob, and didn't dig into my armpit.
* The center gore was ok, maybe slightly wide for me, but not uncomfortably so.

Uncomfortable fabric even after several washes. Top doesn't fill out completely and gives a somewhat pointy look. The band fits well though, and is true to size.

This bra is a beautiful dark blue color. It was comfortable to wear for the ~30 minutes I had to try on and take pictures, but can't speak to longer stints. My ABTF size is 30G, which I am experimenting sister sizing to 32FF for comfort, but also got several 32F sizes to try, this being one of them. I do think the cups might be almost imperceptibly too small, which is causing the fabric on the top edge of the cups to roll down slightly from being taught, make it the edge slightly more visible under t-shirts. I also have this same model in a 34E due to previously ordering the wrong size, but despite being the wrong cup and band size, the fabric on it doesn't have the rolling effect. I believe this bra would be a good molded model for someone with firmer, average to moderately more-than-average projected breasts.

seems like the type of bra that would need a break in. the material is breathable, but not all that soft. The padding doesn't provided much nipple coverage for pointy folks.

This was my go-to bra for a long time, perfectly moulded cups and fully adjustable straps.

I have tried SO many strapless bras it's not funny. For one reason or another I sent them all back, and I was getting very discouraged. But Woo-Hoo...I'm keeping this one! It felt "right" as soon as I put it on.
The band has firm stretch, boning under the arms (not the back), 3 x 3 hooks, 1 3/8" wide elastic with silicone on the top of the band, elastic encased within the seam on the bottom edge (no silicone) so it's quite comfortable! Plus, this baby doesn't fall down!!! (I really think the trick to its' success is the super wide elastic top.) Yet somehow back ... fat was not an issue. Go figure!
The cups are very rigid (like the Deco's), deep and moderately wide. The top is not cut in like all the other strapless I've tried, and there is sufficient depth for center fullness. And it doesn't even cut in at my armpits! As for profile shape, the cups are softly rounded with a very subtle hint of pointiness and ever so slightly east/west (.5"...completely within acceptable limits, especially considering how hard it is to find a projected strapless). The outside (both cups and band) is covered in fishnet lace with a small band of scalloped lace across the top of the cups, keeping this bra from being boring looking or strictly utilitarian. For comfort, there is NO silicone anywhere on the cups, like most strapless have.
The gore is tall and pushes its' way through a little bit. A lot of the support is coming from that structure but it's well within what I can handle wearing. (Although if it was up to me, I'd shorten it about 1/2"...if I could.) To minimise the height of the wire at the gore, I pushed the wires as far to the outer cups as they would go. So I shall wait and see if it continues to be comfortable under the arms...but so far so good.
The basic straps provided are 1/2" wide and adjust easily, as if the slide buckle might slip while wearing. But so far (a day or two wearing) that hasn't been a problem. The multi-positional straps, both front and back make this very versatile and more useful than just a strapless. But I must admit, I've not yet tried it halter style, which needs the greatest strap length.
Overall, a great bra, with or without the straps!
Freya, you restored my faith in strapless bras with this one!!!

Update: After wearing this a few times for 8+ hours the band under the arms starts to chaff, and it seems 'all of a sudden' I notice the pain and can't wait to take it off. But hey, if it takes that long to happen, I guess I can't complain too much.

This bra is the most comfortable fit I have found so far. Also got more comfortable after wearing it for a little while.

This bra doesn't quite fit me; the band is too long and I don't fill out the cups completely, due to size or shape (not sure which). I love the fabric, which feels cool and comfortable compared to the typical molded-cup American bras that I'm used to. The bra itself provides good projection and lift even though it isn't the right size. I have close round boobs, low nipples, and a narrow root, so I think the bra could work for this shape if the size is correct. The color (aquamarine) and pattern (dots) on the sheer fabric is a fun, pretty combination.

I'm new to well fitting bras, but this seems really stretchy. I think it fits more like a 34 band.

This was on the list for recommendations, but I am just too low-set for this to work. I am moderately FoT, but functionally FoB, and this Deco is just the wrong shape for me. :{
Straps are far apart and cut in near the armpits. Width of the wire is fine, but the cups quad in the center and gape everywhere else. Gore is low enough that it doesn't get in the way.
Band is 'true to size' snug.

This is probably the best fitting bra I've found so far. I love the fit of this. the 32 band fits my 33" underbust better than every 34" band I've tried. The half cup works great with my FoT shape and the cups and wires are not too tall for my short roots. I'm able to completely fit the cup with no wrinkling or gaping on the bottom or sides. It gives a very nice supported, uplifted look.

It gives me better fit than original Deco, but still too tall and shallow cups for me.

This bra has a very pretty pattern although the straps are a bit too patterned to wear under strappy tops. The cups and band fit great but for a plunge, this gives me absolutely no cleavage which is a shame. The gore is also too high and stiff meaning that it is painful to wear this for too long.

I tried both this bra and the Freya Patsy in the padded half cup styles in 32F. While the Freya Patsy was a much closer fit, this one gaped terribly in the cup on both sides. Band seemed a bit truer to size and was less stretchy, but unfortunately I couldn't wear it due to the gaping issues. In this one, I think I would need to size down in the cup in order to get a better fit. I love Freyas styles, but wish they were more consistent.

This is a darling polka dotted bra with a very retro vibe. I have it in the ballet pink and it's honestly one of the cutest bras I own. That having been said, there was a tiny bit of gaping in the right cup on my smaller side. Not enough to be a deal breaker as I am being very picky about fit (and have the same issue with a few other brands in my size), but I wish it was a little more perfect fit. Also, the band is looser than what I am used to in other styles/brands, so it may stretch out quickly. Not sure if I should've ordered a band size down, but I'm new to Freya so I wasn't sure.

This is my new favorite bra. I'm super sensitive to lace and itchiness and this doesn't trigger my skin AT ALL. I often forget I'm wearing it (and isn't that the point?). It looks great, it fits exactly right and I just bought a second one if that tells you anything. I firmly believe it needs to come in more colors so that I can buy one for every day of the week.

About me: 30FF/G but can comfortably wear 32F/FF. Usually, 30G is my go to. Very projected and close set with short, narrow roots and even fullness.

I wish that I could have worn this, because I liked the color and the gore was low enough that it didn't bother my close set boobs. But this was about a cup size too small for me. The cups were too shallow and too wide, so I don't think that getting a size up would help much. I also think that this bra could use some more decorations/embellishments and I don't like the material use for the straps because it reminds me of ribbons.

Found this bra on clearance in both 32F and 32FF (my calculated size)! As I'm just starting out in my bra fitting adventure, I am unfamiliar with how Freya fits on me. I seem to need to size down in the cups as there was lots of gapping across the top in the 32FF. The 32F fit wonderfully. No wrinkles or gapping, gore tacks and straps are not digging/sliding off my sloped shoulders. The side wings (and so the wires) are a bit lower than the Panache bras I've been getting. With my wide roots, the wires seem to enclose everything nicely. We will see how I feel after wearing it a few hours.

EDIT 6/5/17
After several months, I have determined that the center gore is wide and too high did my narrow set. Too many days of wanting to rip it off soon as I get home. I hope these marks go away in a few months! Will be listing soon.
