Surprisingly comfy, thanks especially to the lined straps. Oddly enough, even though it's dark, I can wear it under light tops without it showing through. With the lace detailing at the top of the cups, my breasts sort of look like cake on a platter, which I love!
It's a very pretty bra, it gives great support and shape. Unfortunately it did stretch out quickly, with my 77cm under bust size 32 is quite loose now- it's not so bad so I'm planing to short the band.
Edit: I tried to make a band shorter but I made it too small!! It doesn't look very good but it could work for somebody with smaller backhttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra does fit. It's not a bad shape on me. But, I don't know. I just don't like it that much. It's nothing with fit or comfort, but I just am not really sold on this bra.
The big part is the pattern. It just looks murky and muddy to me. But, it does hide nicely under lighter colored shirts, so it's not bad. It's just not cute.
Pros: Comfortable. Good shape (round, but natural looking). Really cute. Comfortable straps and band. High quality, soft material. Wires come to the perfect spot under my arms, and I usually have issues with this. Band is super comfortable, but still provides support.
Cons: Despite being a plunge, the gore still gets fussy on me. I have exceedingly close-together breasts, though, so this is not unusual, nor the fault of the bra. I have this issue with every center gore I've tried. Definitely not a dealbreaker.
All told, I plan on getting a lot of wear out of this one. It's the right combination of cute and sexy, it fits me well, and gives me lovely support without feeling like I'm trussed into some terrible boob contraption. I could probably wear it in a 30H as well for a more "proper" fit, but I prefer a bit more give in my band.
Also, I have the matching bottoms, and they're probably my favorite undies right now.
I like this bra, but it isn't quite perfect. When I scoop all my tissue as far forward into the cups as I can, I get a little quad-boob but don't fill the bottom of the cups, so they fold a bit and the wires don't sit in the crease. The band under the wires rubs a little; if it was sitting higher, this might not happen. There is also a bit of empty space where the strap meets the cup. I'm not sure if this means the wires are too wide, the cups are too tall, or if it is just a bad ...fit for my particular shape. The straps are a little too far apart for me; they rub the front of my armpit, but the discomfort has lessened with wear and washings. The tightness and firmness of the band are comfortable for me, but the gore doesn't tack. I am really happy with the shape it gives, but the edge of the cup shows through thin fabrics even though there is no gaping.

I wore this bra when I had different measurements than I do now.
Now -- The band is fine, though the cup is too small all over. The underwire is too narrow, and I quad out the top. (Not surprising as I'm a full cup volume larger than a 32GG would typically indicate.)
Then (where, "then" = smaller band, smaller cup) -- I remember having issues with the wires being too narrow even when I filled out the rest of the cup just right. Probably then the band was a bit loose... as Decos are wont to be.
The freya deco "honey" was a bra of a few "firsts". It was my first true molded bra, as well as my first Freya bra. I've always been more of a Curvy Kate/Panache fan, so I was taking a slight risk on this one. None the less, I believe it was worth it!
Appearance - This bra, to me anyway, is lovely. The color is a wonderful bright red that was a much needed boost to my blue/teal majority bra collection. The band features an all over lace pattern that continues to the edges of the straps and on the continuing band. Overall though, I'd have to say ...that the buttons on the gore were my favorite part of the bra, they're adorable! This bra is definitely more attractive and a lot cuter than the normal Decos.
Fit - Alright, so this is the hard part. This bra is a bit too small on me. I hate being sized out of the Deco range. If this bra came in a 30H, I'm pretty sure I'd throw my own party for it. The gore is quite low, and my boobs are quite close together, so there's cleavage that looks a lot like a butt, so...butt cleavage. I also don't like it when my boobs touch each other, and they do in this bra. A lot. The band is also a bit loose on this bra too. I can easily hook it on the tightest hook, and although I hate the feeling of too tight bands, this was just a bit too loose for my taste (30H freya, please!)
Occasion - This bra, for me anyway, definitely isn't an "everyday" sort of bra. I'd probably end up wearing this to a club or a party...so pretty much anywhere that might require me to add a little extra "oomph" to any of my outfits. But for everyday? No thank you.
I am so happy that this fits! I have 4 30GG decos that I've been wearing for about 6 months. The cups are too small, but this bra just makes my boobs look so amazing! The cups on the 32GG are perfect on me. The band isn't as loose as I thought it would be. Hopefully it doesn't stretch out tooo quickly since I'm on the tightest hook right off the bat https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. I'm still going to rotate through the 30GG decos along with this one. I love the red color. My other decos are nude, black and charcoal so this is ...a little more exciting! And it has a lot of details that the regular deco doesn't. It has cute lace on the band and straps. It just feels and looks great! The biggest gripe I have with this bra is that there is a 2-hook band. I would really prefer 3-hooks for comfort and to minimize cutting into my back.
Edit: I bought a red Rixie clip to tighten the band and it works awesomely! The Rixie clip is more of a classic red compared to the bright "Firecracker", but it matches well enough. I just bought the Iris Deco Honey and it's just as stunning of a color. Read more 109 more words
Not sure what to make of this one - with straps on, it's a snug almost quadbooby fit. Without them, the tops of the cups tilt open and it puts a lot of pressure on my back. In general I seem to need a 30H/HH, I would probably get the best fit for this bra in 30GG (especially since the size range ends there). By comparison, I don't find the Deco Plunge to run large (as others say), and I would argue that the strapless DOES run big in the cups... or at the very least, it's a taller cup. This bra is hard to put on for a front fastener, try hooking it in the back or having friend/mom/spouse do up the back. That being said, once on the shape under clothing is AWESOME.
This bra has a total of eight - EIGHT - strap attachment points, and two straps so there's a lot of versatality here. There's 4 hook/eye closures, so it's a little similar to a longline, which is pretty nice.
I understood that this bra was essentially a seasonal variety of the Deco, so fit should be similar. It sooo isn't. It's cute, and the shape is almost identical, but the size is very different. Compared to a beige & a black Deco in 32GG, this one has a tighter band (which is great) and much smaller cups (which isn't). This fits like a firm 34G/loose 32GG in a non-Deco style. The cups are cut a little lower and further apart, so I get empty space by the straps and tons of quadraboob in the middle. I bet this would be a good bra for someone reigning in some migration under the arms.
Other than the color and weird sizing, it's solid Deco: Straps are pretty far apart & upper/outside of cups comes awfully high. Maybe a taller girl would be more comfortable. Band is 2 hook. Shape, lift, support, comfort & quality all fine.
I love this bra! The fit is great, the shape is great. The colours are great. (this review isn't very good haha) All I can say about this bra is that it is amazing.
I love the lydia, the print is fun and colourful. The fit is defiantly deco like, the shape it gives isn't for everyone as it's very in your face, I personally love it. It has however stretched quite a lot, I have worn it a lot but it has stretched quicker than other bra's I have.
I generally wear Freya halfcups in 32GG but the deco band is just a little too big, I'd have to start out wearing it on its tightest hook. The cups *just* fit. I'll try the deco in a 30H if they make it that size.
Bought this bra pretty cheap at Nordstrom Rack. I normally wear a 32G but it was ALMOST filled out and sooo cute lol. The cups aren't the issue though - I fill them out a little better now (both thanks to migration and time-of-the-month swelling) but the gore.. even though it's close together I think it must be too high or something because I can't get it to lay flat, it's almost like the wires should lay on top of each other :/ I can and do wear it and it is comfortable, but the gore gets annoying by the end of the day.
This bra is supportive and quite comfortable brand new. I only wish the wings were higher. The gore height is good. This bra is super cute alone. It gives a perky cone shape under clothing, sort of lifting my breast higher than the fullest part of some of my tops, giving a weird pulling effect. This would be fine if you could go up a size in clothing and then take darts in your tops. Maybe this bra would be better for intimate wear than everyday wear.
UPDATE: The wires on this are definitely too narrow for me. While the bra feels comfortable initially, I feel it pulling my shoulders forward as the day progresses. Also, the sliders for the shoulder straps become somewhat uncomfortable and itchy, as though the straps are too close together. If I did repurchase this bra, I would go up a band size, but I think Freya are not for wide, top heavy breasts, so I will stay away.
I generally LOVE the Freya Deco line, and have this bra in a 34FF. On the smallest hook, the 34FF band is too loose, and the cup is too small (as a result of my boobs migrating to where they should be and wearing better fitting bras). I have a Taylor in a 34G that the band is still a bit loose, and the cup still a bit small. I thought a 32GG would be perfect...but boy was I wrong! The band was so snug I could barely hook it, and the cups were not right either.
It's cute, it's good quality, but it was not the bra for me.
