Finally, a deco that fits!

Several months ago, when I had figured out my correct size and was just trying to amass a collection of well fitting bras, I ordered 2 freya decos(one black, one 'hatty') from figleaves in 28FF, my normal size.

When they arrived, I came to realize that the deco runs big in the cups, so exchanged them for 28Fs. It took about a month and a bit for the exchange to complete, by the time I received the replacement bras.

I was slightly crushed when I tried the 28Fs on only to find MASSIVE QUADBOOB! In the course of a month, my boobs had grown. What?! This is also when I had noticed that my 30Fs were just not working anymore in the band OR cup, that my 28FFs were giving a weird shape, and I felt like I was starting all over from square one!

I kept them both because they were still the best fitting bras I had at the moment, and the quadboob wasn't so bad if I wore a tank top under the shirt... I never wore the hatty, but I've gotten a bit of use out of the black deco.

Finally, I decide to list the unworn hatty here on bratabase for an equal trade for a 28FF. I figure this was a fair trade, since I am sure many order the deco in their normal size only to realize they need to size down. I was shocked that I got a really quick response, and we took the steps to make the exchange and sent out the packages.

I just received mine now, and wow! Finally! A deco that fits! I am so thrilled, especially because this is the only bra I have tried in this size that was obviously too big before and fits perfectly now, which I feel confirms my suspicions about changing sizes rather than just wearing the wrong style.

It was just a small victory in this whole battle to find the perfect bra :)

  • I´m so happy for you :)
    It´s very frustrating to wait for the bras to arrive but also when your cup size increases rapidly. By by all the right sized bras you ´d just bought a couple of months ago :(
