As best as I can tell, this bra fits correctly, but it does not give a shape that I am particularly fond of. It is a natural shape, without a lot of lift; the cups are not too pointy, but they tend to angle my breasts outward, where I prefer them pointed straight ahead. If your natural shape is a little more wide-set, you might like this bra more than I did.
It is comfortable, the band is on the stretchy side of firm, but still fits quite nicely. There is a narrow band lining the top cup to support the lace that comes just short of cutting into my boobs; basically, there is a tiny bit of puckering just below this support band that my boobs would happily fill if the band was not there.
Overall, this might be a bra best suited for breasts that are wide-set and not too full on top.
I had heard I might want to size up for this style relative to my unpadded Freya balconettes, which I did. My first thought was that sizing up was a good idea. After wearing the bra for a few minutes, though, I notices that there were wrinkles in the bottom of the cup, even though there didn't seem to be much room for breast tissue down there. Additionally, I couldn't quite fill out the sides near the top. I didn't get to try a 32FF, so I don't know if these issues were really related to size or if the fit was just not right for me.
The style is cute, and the materials were comfortable and felt high-quality.
I bought this at Nordstroms as my first properly fitting bra in my life. It's comfortable, cute, and it fits wonderfully. Right after I scoop I find that I get a tiny bit of quadboob on my fuller breast, but after everything settles in it's great. The only issue I have is related to the strap placement. I find that they are set a bit too wide for my very narrow shoulders, but better than say, a balconette style bra, and comfortable enough despite it.
What I like best about this bra is definitely the shape it gives. The ooomph is almost magical. It's also very comfortable to wear and it comes in a variety of nice colours. A very good plunge, all in all. The conns are that I've found the band to be stretchy (I own 3 Decos in different colours, all 32G). Also, I use these as special occasion bras as I feel that my boobs might burst out of the cups in the middle, although the cupsize is right for me. So I'd say the major minus with this bra is support. On a scale 4-10 I'd gove it an 8.
Two years ago I bought you, and you were wonderful. Gorgeous, fresh, floral, summery, supportive, sexy, comfortable. I wore you all the time, and kept loving you.
Fast forward two years. I have now stopped wearing you regularly for more than a year, you stretched to be point of being uncomfortable and, I admit, my gaining a cup size didn't help. But why did your fabric become so scratchy? It now feels like cheap lace I would have bought at my local chinese retailer.
This is my first Deco bra, in black. For future references and for comparison, it is almost 2 years old at the moment of this review, and I have worn it about once a week since I've bought it.
This is so far my favourite bra. Supportive, comfortable, long-lasting, and the cleavage it gives is fantastic (it might be too much for certain persons though). I love it so much I bought it in nude, and in jet (as Tayor, which is basically Deco with a pattern).
Like any other Freya, the band is loose, but reasonably stretchy (it is only 3cms shorter, at rest, than my Taylor, who is ...two months old). If you are between sizes, I recommend you go for the smaller band size: it's going to be tight for a few weeks/months, and then stretch, but in my experience if you go for the bigger size, it'll be too loose after just a few weeks. If need be, use a band extender.
However, I don't fill out the bottom of the cup - it happens with any padded bra on me, there is a little gap between my breast and the underwire, but a smaller size gives me a bulge at the top.
I am "short-breasted" (as a Bravissimo fitter put it), meaning underwires almost always poke me in the underarm area. With the Deco, not so much - there's definitely a red mark, but it's not painful.
Also, it's moulded, meaning you can wear it under tight-fitting clothes without your bra showing - especially true in nude, but the black one works wonder under dark clothes. Read more 158 more words
Bought a year ago, this used to fit (my size changed, again), and it stretched out too much to keep being comforable - it's only half a size too small in the cup, so I'd keep wearing it if it wasn't for the band.
It's cute but not as pretty as other Freya's for my taste, cream with orange and blue flowers. Also, it gives me a pointy shape (more than the Frankie, even though it's the same build). There's lace only at the very top of the cup, making it wearable under a tight t-shirt or a light top.
This is my second Deco bra, 1 year old at the moment.
For a complete review, see my Black Deco - it has everything I had to say.
This one, younger, hasn't stretched much yet (I wear it about once every two weeks), and at the end of a long day the band hurts a bit, but it's mostly okay.
The colour: it's a "nude", and usually it means "plain ugly". This one though, is as beautiful as a nude can get: a very light beige, but with more pink than yellow in it (as opposed to my Wonderbra strapless, which is definitely on the yellow side).
This is the first bra that has come close to fitting - I have to buy all my bras online (live in Australia where there is a very, very limited selection in shops). I find that it fits well, but don't want to do a proper review until I've tested out other bras that fit me properly. I have a feeling that I could get a better shape and more comfortable material in another bra. If not, this one should suit as an everyday (but not longing around at home) bra.
This bra gives great shape and uplift. My biggest problem is that my smaller boob doesn't fill the top of the bra due to the moulding. This bra fits beautifully under the arms and at the bottom.
This is one of my favourite plunges -- it creates fantastic cleavage and is very comfortable! I've been wearing it (cycling in and out) for a couple of months, and it's still in great shape.
Super comfortable, beautiful shape. But the band is a bit big, even though I bought a bigger band size upon the recommendation of a fitter on a shopping website. I could have just stayed in my normal band size and gone up a cup.
