First of all this bra is VERY comfortable with higher side wings than the typical Freya. I ordered this bra in my usual 32FF instead of sizing down to 32F like I usually need to for Freya bras. This full coverage bra had a few wrinkles at the bottom of the cups (I was told that means it doesn't project enough at the wire for me?) and VERY minor wrinkles at the top (might be perfect for someone with Even or slightly FoT). Other than that, the gore sits flat, straps are not so wide they slide down my sloped shoulders, wires and side wings are wide and high enough to enclose my side boob. Pity I didn't try this on in 32F - I have a feeling it would fit quite well.
So glad you reviewed this and added photos. I have been eyeing this bra for ages. It looks like it gives a typical pointy profile as per Freya bras of this style. I read it has a three-part inner lining. Did you find this made any different as far as support? I'm more FoB so I suspect the top would wrinkle a lot on me; it looks rather tall.
I should say that I tried on this bra VERY early in my bra fitting adventure (like round 2) after discovering ABTF and wore it for all of a minute before taking it off so my "review" may not be very helpful or accurate. In general, cups with 3 sewn parts are more supportive than not. This one seemed to have "normal" support. I am also FoB and this bra wrinkled a lot less in my "regular" non-Freya size. It does come up pretty high (definitely full coverage) but maybe less of an issue of I had tried this on in my "Freya size". I ultimately decided to return it as it wasn't "love" and the fit could have been better. Couldn't bring myself to buy this one as my first bra in the correct size according to ABTF.
Of the four sizes I tried (30FF, 30G, 32F, 32FF), 32FF fits me best.
However, after a few minutes of wear, I had a headache. The band and shallow cup can't support the weight in my short, projected breasts. The weight transfers to my shoulders. Sigh.
The shape is round and lifted. Better for shallow breasts. Sigh.
This bra is *way* too shallow for me, which is a shame because it's a lovely colour, feels great and is nice and narrow. Wires sit well over an inch below my IMF https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
The molded cups were much larger than the nursing lacy underlayer. Perhaps a more generous cup size for nursing (possibly engorged) moms? This bra seemed to fit everywhere else. Center gore tacked, straps were a good distance away, and wires fully enclosed my wide root. Side wings were a bit shorter than similarly sized Panache but that seems to be pretty standard for Freya. Trying again in a smaller cup.
Appearance wise, this is a cute bra. Very bright yellow! The material feels like a soft satin. The band felt a bit more firm than usual (from my limited experience with Freya). I noticed the straps are rather on the stretchy side as well - I had to shorted those up quite a bit. After S&S, the bra fit perfectly.
The only thing I noticed - the wires sound creaky, LOL. I hope that will go away after a washing / breaking in.
Excellent fit, gives a great rounded and uplifted shape, much better than many other Freya balconette bras which give me slightly pointy boobs instead of the round look I like. The lace is firm, slightly itchy right now but I think some wear and a wash will help that. The top of the cup has a stretchy band so it's firm but it doesn't cut in. The back only has one row of hooks, but it's very stable nonetheless. It's a very pretty and sexy bra, while also quite practical.
I ordered this Deco Delight in my usual Freya size (32FF) and the fit is amazing! The band is firm but comfortable. The cleavage I get from this bra is amaaaazing -- exactly what I wanted! Beneath a smooth/higher cut shirt, the edging of the cup is visible; however this will not be an issue for me as I bought this for the wow factor. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I bought this to deconstruct. But, it is so cute and has so much life remaining it seems shameful to cut, bend, and stitch.
The straps are a thick, supportive .8". Cup height is fantastic for short roots. The cup is best suited for shallow to average projection and average to wider root width. This wide, shallow cup design has a pleasant minimizing effect on my narrow, projected breasts. If I were only concerned about comfort, this would be at the top of my list. But, I need tbe support and lift provided by a more narrow, projected cup. The cup is somewhat open and can accommodate taller roots easily.
Despite it's incredible popularity, the Deco, alas, is not the right shape for me. As a girl with a lot of immediate projection this bra fights a loosing battle with my breasts. No matter how tight I make the band, my breasts push this bra downward. This makes my breasts look much lower than they are and leaves me wondering if it presses down on my upper breast tissue in return... which I would fear could contribute to sagging.
I keep it around cause it's a good cleavage bra. But after about 3 hours I'm ready to tear the thing off. And I'm adjusting things every 20 to 30 ...minutes when I've got it on.
This is another one of those bras that also gets really full coverage feeling at larger sizes. Big straps, big wings, covers a lot of the chest in general. Matronly... with cleavage. It peeks out of a lot of what I try to wear it under. As a black cleavage bra, that's not awful, unless I actually just want to wear it as a daily wear and not be risque. Read more 75 more words
This bra is actually different from the other Freya half cups (Patsy etc). The cups have the usual two vertical seams but also have a horizontal panel and seam at the top. I will add a photo to illustrate. I find that this makes the Pixie a better fit for me because it closes off the top of the cup a bit, which helps keep my "wiggly tissue" contained.
Also, the outer cup fabric is much silkier than the Patsy and the straps are too. Consequently, this bra has a smoother appearance under clothes.
At the moment, this is my favorite bra, even though the band is a bit larger ...than I need. The cups seem deeper than my Patsys and I get less spillage at the gore. I wish Freya would make all their half cups with this construction because it's nearly perfect for my shape and breast type (soft, slightly pendulous, even but with very little upper fullness, short roots, high set). This bra in a nude colorway would be the ideal for me. I'd buy a drawer full of them! Read more 73 more words
Im so sad I went down a size. This bra was my absolute favorite the only complaint i have is the longline part riding up. Its a beautiful bra overall and fit perfectly for me being FOB and gave the perfect support i wanted. My breasts looked lifted naturally and round.
The top of the cups wrinkle a little bit. The material is a little scratchy. I got this secondhand so I will probably keep it. It looks fine under the right dress. The seams up the front do show in a tight tshirt. It doesn't create sexy cleavage and the cups are pretty high up on my boobs.
Love this bra. Originally had it in 32FF but was too big in band so tried 30FF, too small in cups, finally found a decent fit with 30G. Because of the material it could even make a cute swimsuit. Have not tried this but it seems it would be cute, especially since the ruffle hide bra bulge
I love me some molded cup t-shirt bras, and this was my first foray into that category in my new size. It's not perfect, but it's comfortable and wearable -- so that's pretty much a win in my book https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The band is pretty stretchy. I wouldn't have noticed this before (back when I was in VS 34DDDs), but it's definitely the stretchiest of all my bras and I'm already on the second hook just a couple of months in. The wires are a little wide for me, but the cups are fairly projected and the bra has a nice overall smoothing effect under clothing. I have relatively even fullness and tall roots, and my breast tissue is very firm, so the top of this bra cuts in a little -- the quad-boob is not incredibly obvious, but it's noticeable if I'm wearing a higher-neck t-shirt.
I really like the 34E in this bra but the band is too loose on me. So I purchased band down and cup up based on better measurements. The 32FF is a monster. There's so much fabric. I can't wear it under almost anything in the summer because it peeks out from everything. The straps are huge, the wings are huge, the cups are like full coverage and gore comes up as high as the neckline in most of my clothes. It's very matronly aside from the print.
I keep wanting to wear it because my 34E is like belt loose at this point, but I hate it every time I put it on. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
My breasts are even to full-on-bottom with average projection. The cups accommodated the slightly different shapes, tissue densities, and sizes of my breasts well. I typically wear a 32 band and found the band to be a good fit.
I wanted to love this bra. So cute! Gives a nice boob shape too under low cut items. Alas, the lack of boning in the sides means all the bottom does is roll which is realy not comfortable in the slightest!
So glad you reviewed this and added photos. I have been eyeing this bra for ages. It looks like it gives a typical pointy profile as per Freya bras of this style. I read it has a three-part inner lining. Did you find this made any different as far as support? I'm more FoB so I suspect the top would wrinkle a lot on me; it looks rather tall.
