EDIT BELOW

This was probably the worst fitting bra I have ever tried on in my life. Ok maybe not that, but I had high expectations because was hoping it would work under my (non-strapless) wedding dress. (Yeah, I'm one of the rare women that hates dresses without straps.)

It's a wild understatement to say that this stabbed into my sternum. It poked inwards so viciously that I was convinced that it would break skin if I didn't take it off immediately. Literally stabbed through the heart. OUCH.

Otherwise the body of the cups was OK. However there some gapping along the top, and it didn't really work as pushup, further ... suggesting the cup was too large. Somehow, this bra is looser in the band than any of my 30D bras - the tightest setting worked with some riding up my back.

The final nail in the coffin is that the "nude" would be more accurately described as ivory. I'd say this would work as a nude bra only on the most untanned of pale people. I guess I should have expected this from a British brand.

EDIT: OK, for some really weird reason it fit me a whole lot better the second time around, when I was trying to decide whether it goes to the UPS store. The trick is to move the underwires around from the center to the side. Now, there's no stabbing, zero gapping if I stand straight (there's some gapping as I lean forward), and it pushes up right. I'm on the fence about whether it's the right level of pushup for a wedding - I have a feeling this look could get me kicked out of church. (My sister summarized this look as "No %^&* way is that natural.") It's still REALLY pale, though.

The cup in 30F is too big for me, so there is room under my arm and at the top of the cup. The straps may also be a bit too wide for my frame (I just got this in the mail, haven't worn it). The wires also seem to be a little too high for me in the front, I might try the plunge style instead. Otherwise it seems like a nice bra - wasn't expecting it to be a push up.

This was my go-to bra, for everyday and every occasion, before I was sized out of the range. The look is smooth and seamless under tight shirts and gives a good amount of "oomph" for scoop-neck shirts. I loved it!

It's a good option if the regular Deco isn't a good match for your shape.

The band is quite stretchy, as is typical of Freya bras.

The regular Deco does not work at all for me- it gaps massively at the top edge. So I was incredibly happy to find that the Deco half cup does work- the cups are the perfect height and so comfortable!
I love half cups in general now because with my shape I often get lots of gaping at the top edge of fuller cup styles. I am also always on the lookout for lightly padded or molded bras. It is a symptom of wearing mass market bras for many years and being more comfortable in such styles.
The push-up pads don't really give cleavage so much as add girth and can unfortunately make you look wider from the front. However they feel plush- as if your bust is propped up on pillows- perfect for cold winter days, haha. As is common knowledge with Freya bras, I recommend sizing down if you are between band sizes.

This is a difficult fit. It doesn't look too bad, although the cups wrinkle a bit at the top as soon as I bend over/slough. The push up works really well, but it looks like my boobs spill a bit over the centre gore (only the gore, not the cups).

Hello cleavage! A bra for when you want to get noticed... The regular deco had too tall cups for me, but this has lower cups so it's a better fit. Actually the cups are a bit too low under the arm and the gore is a bit too wide but I don't mind because cleavage https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

I definitely have to scoop and swoop to make sure this bra is filled out, but it's comfortable and fits (although only on the tightest hook.)

I really love this bra. It's comfortable and doesn't show under clothes, even the thinnest t-shirts. It's also the only bra I have found to give me the "cakes on a plate" look. It fits like a 30F.

I've tried the regular Deco a couple of times and it didn't fit my shallow boobs. The halfcup has padding, which I don't really like. I have two of these and will probably end up selling one.
