Has anyone else ever had the experience of a not-so-friendly fitter? I went on a bra quest when I was home for spring break, and after FOUR STORES, finally came away with purchases I was happy with.
But at one store that I was initially so excited about, I left feeling actually pretty bad about myself =\
I'd tried on a ... Deco in a 30E at one of the previous stores and it was definitely too small. So I asked for a 30F. But little did I (and apparently the fitter) know that the plunge and half-cup models fit differently? So I think the half-cup in 30E was too small but the plunge in a 30F was too big. So I try it on, and the fitter tells me "you're definitely not an F cup." Which she then repeated multiple times. She brought me a couple of other bras in 30E, none of which fit properly even though she insisted that they were fine/should work. In the end, she made me feel stupid, and like I was wrong or different, rather than it being an issue of cup shape variation.
I was not pleased

A lot of people say the taylor runs a size smaller than the normal deco but I disagree. I have normal deco in f cup and taylor in ff cup, and the taylor is bigger than the normal deco, it's not quite a cupsize bigger so I don't think it runs quite true to size I think it just runs a tiny bit big, compared to the normal deco which runs about a cup big.
I also have a just flew in longline, in ff, which might be similar to the piper longline. The Taylor is a bit bigger than the just flew in, but not massively.
I used to have a deco strapless and I found that it run a bit more true to size than the deco plunge, as in the 28e strapless fit me when the 28e plunge was too big.
From my personal experience I'd say get the same size in the taylor as you have in the longline, maybe a size bigger than you have in the strapless,that's what works for me.
Arashi, the real difference between the Taylor Strapless and the Deco Strapless is that the former has a ribbon along the edge of the cup which stops the cups from stretching with wear the same way the Deco strapless does. Because of that it will seem to run slightly smaller in the cup, even though it is more or less the same in the actual construction. If you're inbetween sizes in the Deco Strapless, go for the smaller one in Taylor. Otherwise I would suggest the same size. (The same goes for even the slightest bit too small, if your Deco is just the tiniest too small, size up for taylor in the cup).
