Much tighter in the back than an average freya, does stretch some though. Best sports bra ever. Very wide underwires for a freya bra.

Very tight in the band, and large in the cups, moreso than the regular deco. I'd ballpark the size as more like a 30GG deco. If you have trouble with the upper cup of the deco gaping, it will be likely be worse here because much of the cup depth is in the upper middle/outer area. The padding is also a bit more rigid (at least brand new it is).

The regular deco works for me largely because of the low centre gore and openness of the plunge, which prevents my general problem of not enough projection in cups near the gore. The higher gore here changes the bra so that the cups are a bit wider and more splayed, which fights my shape a bit, so the wires sitting too low. But this happens to me with every bra except for Ewa Michalak.

Best sports bra I've ever tried. The shape is not as obvious (pointy) as people say, I was quite rounded, actually. Extremely supportive, no movement at all, and very comfortable. Different than a regular Freya bra, band more true to size (Freya runs large generally), and wide underwires (Freya's are generally narrower). Fantastic!

This bra could be great, but I needed a cup size down (the dart instead of the zoom). The band fits well on my 31 inch ribcage. I am a little short-waisted and short overall (5' 4'') and I think this bra is designed for someone taller. This and the cup being a bit large led to too much fabric in my armpits and rubbing there. I generally wear a 34FF/G in Ewa Michalak (about a 32G in UK sizing) and have even fullness, semi soft tissue, projected breasts that need narrow wires.

Gorgeous bra, but a cup size too big for me sadly. Wires are nice and strong. Very upfront, round, typical Ewa shape. Has removable padding. Band is slightly slightly larger than other than my other 75 bands from Ewa (CHP Mak and Fiolek), but probably not worth sizing down unless you're between sizes.

I love, love, love this bra. It's totally converted me to longlines. It's amazing having the support for my breasts spread out over a larger area of my back, and I find it also helps me stand up straight and use my abs more in daily life. This longline is also actually long, with fabric and boning extending a good two inches below the wires in this size. At first I found the boning a little uncomfortable, but I found that after a day's wear this bra really formed to the shape of my body and ribcage and the boning now curves exactly where I do. Super comfortable! ...

Occasionally sometimes when sitting down, the front bunches up a little, but it isn't painful and is easy to put into place again discreetly. The boning definitely helps prevent any major flip-ups. The fabric in the straps and band also loosens up a bit after the first wear, which was great for me, as I found the straps to be a little short at first! Now they're perfect.

I'm full all over and take the same size in this bra as I do in the Marcie.

This bra is gorgeous and super supportive, but fits a little oddly as others have mentioned. The upper section seems a size larger than the rest of the cups, which can lead to puckering and gaping. I went down a cup size from my usual, and luckily I'm full enough on top that this made the bra wearable. I did get some puckering along the seams, but it smoothed after washing and is now minor and doesn't interfere with the fit. I also found the band to run a size large, but it fits after an alteration.

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.

Gorgeous bra, but a cup size too big for me sadly. Wires are nice and strong. Very upfront, round, typical Ewa shape. Has removable padding. Straps are half-adjustable. Band is consistent with my other 75 bands from Ewa (CHP Mak and Fiolek). Looks a bit purple in my photos, is actually more burgundy.

The material is very light, but quite strong. Underwires are a bit low under the arms, not a huge deal though. Narrow underwires like most freyas, tight back, but fairly stretchy. My breasts were very "front and centre", out of the way of my ribcage. Recommend!
