It's a no for me. I'm puzzled by the plunge line on a molded bra, because it squished my breasts to the center without uplifting them, thus making me spill in the low middle and leaving a ridge at the top. It's a flattened shape under clothing and really super uncomfortable at the band. I just need a higher gusset in my molded bras. I'm puzzled as to how this bra got so popular, I really am.
I LOVE this bra... it is the most gorgeous bra design I have ever owned, asides from the CK Thrill Me (which also doesn't fit, waaaah)! Unfortunately, while the fit in cup width, band, and cup depth is perfect, I think the cups are set too far apart for my close-set boobs, which results in a slightly east-west look which isn't really noticeable by anyone else but drives me crazy!!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> EDIT: On re-evaluation, I think the main issue with this bra is the lack of immediate projection on the inner and inner-lower cups. Is there any kind of alteration I can make to the bra in order to somehow create more projection in this area? I think if I can improve the projection here I can wear it! Help?!
This bra is cute, but the cups are too small for me. I quad out just a tiny bit, but it is visible under a tight, thin t-shirt. It is also too shallow in the base of the cups for me.
I am really happy to find a molded cup that is narrow enough for my boobs. I do feel like my boobs spill out towards the middle of the cup, especially because I have a lot of center fullness and projection, but I guess that is the point of a plunge ... ? Does anyone else experience this? Also, I find that I can see the top edge of the cup through my shirt. Is this just because it is a thicker material? I also found that I had gaps along the top of my boobs where the cup attaches to the strap, but I found that tightening the strap reduced this.
Hi! I have a few decos. Yes, as the day goes on I spill a bit our of the middle. I think unless you have very firm boobs that will happen. Yes you can see cup edges on all of them. Some styles are worse than others. The Delight is my worst for that. Gaps at the top are common too. My boobs are a combination of implant and natural and I think this makes it easier for me to fill the cups out. I'm growing away from decos in favour of Comexim these days.
Ok; good to know! :) I've tried a few Comexims but I seem to have a problem with the top third part of the cup - I can't seem to fill it up and so that top third part just kind of flops over the top of my boobs. :( Maybe I'm trying the wrong sizes though...
Fits perfectly! The gore sits lower than my @Panache Jasmine and I find it to be even more comfortable. I do have close set breasts, so the gore does float slightly, but it is very slight and not uncomfortable or even really noticeable. The underwires are a perfect fit for my wide root breasts and narrow ribcage. I have average to full projection and full bottom breasts, they fit comfortably in the cups. Although it says padded in the description, it's more like a lined cup. There is no padding. It does however provide a beautiful lift that looks great under lower cut tops without pushing my breasts up under my chin. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The straps are slightly padded and do not dig in or leave dents on my shoulders. It's also very comfortable to wear laying in bed to read, or for long periods of time. I love love this bra!
i bought this on an ebay whim a while ago because i needed a nude t shirt style bra, but me and deco dont ever get along, even when in the right size. im wearing closer to 34FF/32G right now, so this is probably technically too small, but i dont think the shape of deco would work for my anyway.
the straps get caught in my armpits, and dig, which is the first thing i notice. the band is snug and a little uncomfortable, but with an extender its still not comfy. its probably a combo of stiffness of the material and the need for a slightly deeper/taller cup. ...i think the sides/wires are too low for my taller roots, letting a lot of the tissue escape back out. the molded cups aren't the right shape for me (i do better in half cup styles) and they aren't able to mold to your shape the way a soft cup is. im not very full on the upper half of my breast, so i gape there, especially on my right side.
deco is great for many people, but not for me! it's heading on to a new home, so i can get myself a nude halfcup instead. Read more 96 more words
After a couple attempts (also tried 32G-- drowned in it, 32F-- could hardly fit in it), this seems like my supposed size for Freya, or at least this style, except it still fits extremely poorly. I'm getting severe orange-in-glass folding on the bottom and middle and quad-boob on the top. About all I can say is the band seemed to be true to size for me, and I liked the look, or would have, if it ever fit.
I don't have my normal fit issues of gaping at the top, or extra room at the bottom. Wires sit at the inframammary fold nicely, and though they seem to be a bit wide, it doesn't cause any issues. I like the unusual pattern of little houses on this bra a lot, though the lace is still a bit much for me personally. The orange is halfway between an orange and peach colour that seems difficult to photograph well. Used to think I was super projected and narrow, but I seem to find some success in Freya half cups by sister sizing down in the cup/up in the band. All my fullness is on the bottom but the vertical seams give me a nice, rounded profile.
this is part of an order i did just to size check, so i cant give a review about anything i would notice during actual wear. ive got this on just long enough to leave a review, and then its on the way back. because ive already reviewed this in a 32G, i wont bother going into many details that are the same, or posting a whole new round of photos.
in comparison to the 32G, this band actually does feel too snug. it's only by a small amount, and it's most likely because the cups are too small. it doesn't hurt, but i can tell the wires are ...warping a bit. one hook on the extender fixes it fine, so i'd likely stay with a 32 band and it would relax quickly. 34 bands tend to be too loose, and id rather get the most life possible out of a bra. i also find that straps on the 34 band half cups are always wider set then on sister sized up 32 band of the same style- and i really cant stand that.
i get some minor overspill, mostly on the left side which is larger and more projected. its more noticeable when i push the underwires closer to the armpit side, because it gets more of my tissue in. if the underwires completely filled the channels at both the gore and the underarm, i would have much more noticeable spill. the wire width feels fine, furthering my confusion about what width i think i need. the straps feel good as well- they are set farther apart because of the half cup shape but not so far that i feel they may slip.
definitely a pretty bra, and hopefully one i will be purchasing later on in a 32FF or 32G. Read more 191 more words
FYI: i bought this as a sizing check and intend to return it, so i haven't been able to wear it for more than a few minutes to assess fit. i cant speak to how this would wear during the day, when many fit issues usually crop up because im moving around more.
patsy has to be made of some of the most uncomfortable fabric *ever*. even if it fit perfectly, i would never keep it. its so scratchy! its some sort of a weird tulle overlay. it's especially bothersome on the straps. the seam of the fabric overlay sits right in the middle of the inside of strap ...against the skin, and feels like its going to rub me raw even though i'm only putting it on long enough to review it. they are fully adjustable though, so that's a plus. its a shame, because the peacock colorway is very pretty. this fuchsia one doesn't do anything for me.
i have definite overspill on my left side. once i push the wires from the gore into the armpit (i do on most bras to get more side coverage and a lower gore) it becomes even more obvious, and starts spilling on my shallower right side as well. the band feels like i could comfortably wear it on the middle or first, even the last hook, but its made of that annoying thing mesh with elastic bordering on the top and bottom so any setting makes my fleshier back look not so good minus. i would likely want a 32 band with an extender so i could get more wear out of it, because 34 bands always seem too loose when new.
the straps feel too wide set in this, and get caught in my underarm. it is both uncomfortable while still and leads to some awkward bra shifting as my underarms push the cups forward when in motion. the wires good width wise, and are actually pretty much the exact same width as the 34F Thimble Cottage bra i got in the same order. they hardly feel like different sizes, aside from the straps being wider set in Patsy and the very slightly smaller amount of overspill i got in the Thimble Cottage.
if i were to stay with the Pasty cut, i would recommended the Thimble Cottage bra because the fabric and straps are so much improved. i would probably take this cut in something more like a 32G or 34FF, depending on how the fabric choice affects the band tension. Read more 311 more words
This is probably the first bra I have tried so far that is a nearly perfect fit. There is enough coverage both on top and on the side. I don't have to readjust this bra throughout the day as it keeps all the breast tissue contained. The wires are actually wide enough for my wide-sit boobs. I bought this bra used, so the band is a little stretchy, but is still snug. I really like the 4" wings; they feel like they keep armpit fat where I want it better than other bras.
As for the design, I am not usually a floral person, but the crafty mix of blue and white floral with the brown clover design actually works fairly well aesthetically. The way it makes my chest look is nothing short of miraculously sexy.
**UPDATE** 11/05/2014
I've grown to a 32G cup, so unfortunately this bra no longer fits that well. It's not unwearable, but there is a little quadboob and the band feels tighter because of that.
After having owned three Freya Deco Plunges, I have to say I am officially in love with this bra. It comes in gorgeous colors, the materials are high quality and keep their shape, the band isn't constrictive yet is snug enough for support, the wider cups work with my even, wide-set shape, and the style makes my chest look amazing. It also looks great under just about anything I wear.
This is my absolute favorite bra. This is the real bombshell bra.
The sides are a bit lower than I would like but I was able to eventually adjust the straps to make it comfortable. I think the band stretches a bit because it felt too tight the first time I wore it but it is OK now.
Good fit. A little empty space at the end of the cup on my smaller breast. Trying to compensate by tightening the strap on that side. Gore is just a tiny bit too tall and wide for me, but it's workable. Not quite enough bottom projection - slides down a little throughout the day.
This bra gives great uplift and is really comfy after repeated wearing. But the wings are just too short for me. I'm wide and tall-rooted, I think, and I have a noticeable bulge of sideboob in this bra. I'm going to have to pay close attention to the recorded height of wings in future.
I really love the feel and look of this bra. The shape does not work for me.
I have even fullness/full on top, but more in the middle and so I spill out of the middle, while getting wrinkling at the top. I thought I was full on bottom because my breasts look deflated naked. Once in a bra, they are full on the top, and shallow.
The cups are too deep for my taste. When I take some of the depth out, I get quadboobing.
I would like to find a 32G and see if that size works to take some depth out.
