Like many women, I am a big fan of the Freya Deco. When I saw it in the gorgeous Cobalt color, I knew I had to have it. I told my husband it was because the dress I bought for my birthday is also Cobalt, so it matches https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> It's comfortable, supportive, and gives good cleavage. All things I like in a bra. Only thing that drives me nuts is that the material ALWAYS catches on my wedding rings when I am scooping & scooping myself into place. I try to be very careful with this particular one because the color ... is so pretty I don't want to damage it. Anyway, I always recommend the Deco, and this one is no exception. The deco is good for many shapes, but is especially good for those who are FOB (full on bottom) like me. To note: I bought this in a 32G because they were out of 30GGs (and of course Freya doesn't make 28H). I had it altered to a 30 (because the seamstress at Nordstrom did not know how to alter bras and she didn't want to listen when I asked for it to be tighter), but it ended up a bit loose. I'm going to have to alter it further. But note the band change when you read my info.

This is my first transferred bra on Bratabase and ... wow! I'm a believer in this website. It fits perfectly, better than I ever imagined a bra could fit. Very comfortable and pretty! Who would have thought bras could be both? Especially for larger busted ladies. Supportive, doesn't poke, pinch, or itch anywhere, all the lines are smooth, minimal back fat or skin displacement (although I can't expect perfection there since I'm 8 months pregnant and have put on about 20 pounds lol). I love this bra and would buy 10 if I could.

I didn't think I was going to buy this bra when I saw its pictures online. It looked overly kitchsy, and I'd tried on its cream incarnation and been unimpressed by its flippy band and color scheme. When I saw the blue version in person, however, I was hooked. Its floral was anything but kitschy. Instead, it was done with oversaturated pictures of flowers that evoked technology more so than nature. That plus the fact that it was a half-cup and fit more tightly than its predecessor was all I needed; I'll make a lot of concessions for a half cup.

Its band fits like something midway between a ... (Freya) 30 and 32. The bra gives a very rounded shape, and its long band would make the whole thing feel more anchored and secure if it wasn't so prone to flipping up. It did so at the least irritation until I stitched in some boning, and even so, the problem isn't entirely fixed. If you can't stand a nonstable band, this bra definitely isn't for you.

Its cups are also far too shallow for me. There's a lot of empty space in their bottoms. I also feel I could do with one cup size up, were it available.

I can not tell you how excited I am to have a second nude bra! While Freya has a lot of cute bras, few of them are really wearable under very light colored or lightweight shirts because they are colorful. This bra, like its sibling, has a seam that runs up about the middle of the cup, and the wings appear to come up a bit higher near my arm, but not uncomfortably so. I doubt that I'll like it as much as my Freya Deco, but we'll see!

The fabric on this is very nice and slightly shiny on the outside. The seam in the cup runs right about up the middle and hits my tit. This might be problematic down the road. This bra seems to come up a bit higher around my arm than the others, although not uncomfortably so! We will see if it beats my 32FF - Panache » Jasmine (6951) out as black bra of choice!

First off, this is a really cute bra. Pink with polka dots, how can you ever go wrong with polka dots? I'm not a fan of the brown lace that goes along the top of the cup, but it doesn't itch. This fits very much like my 32FF - Freya » Totally Tartan Padded Half Cup Bra (1423). But it doesn't have the strip of fabric across the top of the cup like the tartan half cup. So even though they are both padded half cups, I feel like this one is cut a bit differently?

Wonderful fabric, fits slightly shallow but mostly try to size I think.

I found this bra at a local department store and I was excited that the cups went beyond F. Of course, they didn't have my band size, I had to do the 'sister sizing' method.
It's not too bad; the fabric is soft and the under wires aren't poking. The cups still sit a little too high under the arms for my taste. I still like this for an average everyday comfy bra.
Unfortunately, again, like my Cleo Lucy bras, there is gaping at the bottom of the cups causing the saggyness. I tried adjusting the straps like I did with my other bras and it has the same effect; I tighten the straps, they dig painfully in my shoulders and the cups are right under my arm pits. I loosen the straps, the cups sag worse causing the back band to ride up.

Cups are poorly fitting because the band is also loose. Fit in 30G is correct for band, but quad boob in cups. It's too bad the Freya half-cup styles don't generally go higher than a G right now..

It gives cleavage allright, but it doesn't fit!

I've put on back muscle! I can fit in Decos again! Hooray!

I've never tried a soft cup before, but I was curious to try the Deco Wireless. I get along well with the Deco Plunge and the Deco strapless, so thought I'd give this a try. Construction: The cup i...

This band runs tight with my 32 measuring a stretched band of 31". The cups seem to be like my other Deco Plunge bras, which I've read runs big. It's very comfortable and is very pretty!

The band seems true to size. I can't tell if the cups fit differently than other Deco Plunge bras or if the cut is slightly different so it shows that it's too small. In any case, I am getting some quadding out the top of the cup when I don't on other styles of the Deco Plunge. It's really cute and the material is so soft. I also LOVE the straps. They feel silky and even though they are wide, they are really comfortable and not too rigid.

Super cute and super comfy. The wires are a little too wide for me but not so much that it is bothersome. Good lift but a little loose on band. The little skirt thing is cute on at the bottom but it always rides up. No cleavage on me still good comfort overall.

Overall I think this bra fits pretty well. I have a few small issues: I get a TINY amount of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups, and a TINY bit of wrinkling at the top of the cup on my smaller breast. Also the band could stand to be a tiny bit tighter.
I think what may potentially be a problem it that the outside edges of the cups cut into my underarms a bit. I'll need to wear it for a while to really decide if this is a deal breaker, though.

Cups are too small. 32GG is a better fit.

Love this bra! Wires are narrow, cups are deep, straps are soft and comfortable, shape is nice and rounded. Band is a little lose, but still fine.

*EDIT* Post-tissue migration, bra no longer fits... https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Cups too wide and cut in on top, band definitely too loose.

I like the moulded cups but they are one size too big - they gape a little bit, but I can still wear it if I need to. The band is on the tight side for me and where the cup and band/wing meet is a little too tall for me. It's a really nice bra, and I would consider trying a 32FF to see if it is any better.

Probably my best fitting bra as of right now. Super comfortable and supportive, absolutely adorable, and the longline is super sleek and gives a better shape to my sides under tight clothing.

Cons: Some wrinkling on the underside of the cup. I have a lot of projection and fullness, and the very bottom seems better suited to those who are shallower on the bottom.

Also, the longline part flips up! I plan on stitching some boning into the vertical seams when I next drag out my sewing machine, because it's pretty annoying.
