Cup size was either too big, or the shape was not good for me. The band was also pretty stretched out, so it is hard to say how it would have fit me if it were new. Also, dug into my pits a bit.

Bought from allybean! Thanks Allybean!

Haven't worn it for a full day yet but while wearing it around the house fit seems good, no bulging or wrinkling. Only complaint is that the cup's shape is such that the edges will be visible depending on what shirt I wear, but it's not a deal breaker.

I have three of this bra - two in nude, one in black, because it was the only thing that fit my wide-set breasts and didn't give me quad boob. After a few years, they're finally wearing out, and when I've tried on a new one in stores it feels too small and I get quad boob.

After another professional fitting, I was told I probably ought to try a 28GG or a 30H.

My breasts don't feel supported in this bra anymore, and when I scoop and swoop, my breasts are so projected forward that I have to tuck them back into the cups.

These have lasted a good, long time, and worked well for a while with my sloped chest.

I was pretty discouraged when my Lagoon color Deco ended up showing through my shirts, but here I am again with another Deco. This one doesn't have the thick cup seam at the top! Despite what others said, it fits about the same as the Lagoon - not significantly taller. The cups are a bit less deep but that's the only measurement that is different really. For whatever reason the gore seems to sit on my tissue a bit more though, but otherwise I'm happy with the fit. The wires are perfect for me! Any narrower and they would be on my tissue. I've never had a bra ... with wires so close to perfection.

After a failure with a 30E with a giant band and tall, deep cups I decided to size down to 28E for shorter cups and a smaller band and I believe it is the best size with me in Decos. I wear this with an extender currently.

The color on this one isn't as fun as Lagoon, but I appreciate the gray. I wish it was a bit lighter gray - it feels like faded black kind of.

I ordered this based on my recommendations here but it was way too big. There was a huge gap at the top if my shoulders were not pulled straight back. At first I thought this may be because I am full on bottom, but the cups were also too wide on my sides. I will order it again two cup sizes smaller and hope that it will fit better.

Overall assessment thus far:

Seems very sturdy.
Comfortable fabric
I like the molded cups however, I notice a bit of a line that forms at the top of the cup. I am not sure if this is simply because it is too big but I feel it may be noticeable under clothes.
Despite only have two clasps in the back it seems very supportive.
I am not narrow shouldered but I found that the straps were too wide for my comfort. I am hoping that this again will change with the smaller cup size.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Freya Deco. On one hand, it gives unbeatable cleavage and a high, rounded profile to my even-to-FoT boobs. The lowish gore is great for my close-set shape, and the cups are pretty much completely seamless beneath thin knits, whereas the newer Decos have prominent edging that lessens their usefulness as T-shirt bras (I ended up selling my Deco Delight, Vibe and Charm because of this). On the other hand, the cups are a little too shallow at the bottom to stay in my IMF all day long, so the wires migrate down slightly and DIG at my ribs in what would be my optimal size (28G). However, the increased band space in the 30FF seems to mitigate this problem well enough to make keeping Deco around worthwhile. If only it had more immediate projection (almost an impossible task in thermally molded foam cup bras!) it would be perfect. Still, despite its downfalls, it is an exceptionally useful and versatile bra in the beige colorway, and I find myself wearing it a lot.

Not for boobs with more than 2 fingers of separation (I have 3 fingers of separation) - it will dig in and give comical cleavage! I also experienced about 1cm of gaping at the top of the cup, which it appears this bra is infamous for. Wires under arms cut into boobs, even when bending wire wider. Really sad to see I can't make it work...the band and straps are a dream https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

The Freya Deco has been my go to bra for a long time... but now I'm starting to grow out of it, I guess? I've always found that my breasts get pushed together and spill out the front of the cups. I also get wrinkling at the bottom of the cups becasue they are too shallow (I guess? Or my breasts are just too heavy, lol.) These issues seem to be getting worse. I still love the shape the Deco line gives, and it had solid padding without feeling like you are adding to your cup size. I think the width of ... their cups is perfect for my shape, ad I don't get poking under the arms liek with so many other bra. All in all, the Decos are awesome but I'm currently exploring other bra options, so see if I can find other favorites.
This is the basic Deco model. I find this model to be the most open on top, compared to other Deco versions, and so I have the biggest issue with spillage on this one. This particular bra has been well loved, but is in good shape.

This is my third Deco purchase is a short span of time. It follows my 28G - Freya » Deco Vibe Moulded Plunge Bra (1704) and 28G - Freya » Deco Rebel Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) . I was debating between the Deco Lagoon and Deco Spotlight. I read the latter had a very stretchy band and couldn't find a 28, so I ordered the Lagoon in 30FF. More explanation on the size choice to follow.

As noted above, I have two Decos in 28G. The Deco Rebel fits really well - snug on the band, which I like, but some days I need to ... wear it with an extender on one hook. They are known to stretch out fast, so no big deal. I've worn it a handful of times and washed it, and have since had days when I could wear it without an extender comfortably. It did not start out that way. I think my underbust measurement fluctuates a lot during the month. It was after I had one quite painful day the first week I wore the bra that I began considering a 30FF. Fast forward a few wears, and one other issue I have with the Deco in 28G is some rubbing/chafing in the armpit area from the cup edge beneath the strap. It is pronounced when I put my arms out in front of me. In a standing position, the bra fits great with minimal gaping, but when sitting, it can sometimes gape a lot.

I have a similar issue with the Vibe in 28G as far as the rubbing and gaping. The Vibe band is also super tight in comparison, and I wear it with an extender on at least 2 extra hooks. The Vibe band is a different material. It actually doesn't "cling" tightly to my back. I have at least 2 finger space beneath the back, but since it doesn't stretch so easily, it constricts when I breathe, making it too tight on my bony ribs.

With these things in mind and considering that darker colorways can run tighter, I decided to go with 30FF for the Lagoon. I am reasonably happy with it. This review will probably continue to compare it with other Decos, but I will try also to review it in its own right.

The Deco Lagoon is the softest and most comfortable-feeling bra I own. It is more comparable to the Rebel and than Vibe (as to be expected). Of course, the band is bigger, but it is also a much softer and stretchier material. I tried it on a few times before deciding to keep it for this reason. I can already start it on the second or even third hook and it's comfortable. My ideal band in Lagoon is probably a 28.

HOWEVER, and this is why I am keeping it, the cups on the 30FF do not invade my armpit area like they do on my other Decos. Sadly I don't know if that's because Lagoon cups run shorter in general or because it's a sister size. When I was a 30G, I used to size up to 32FF in other brands for less cup coverage at the sides, so it seems to have worked here as well. I am very happy with this as the cups otherwise fit identically to my 28G Rebel in terms of volume, but without the discomfort.

My only worry is the band possibly getting loose quickly. I am well contained by the cup edging and don't spill out over the gore, but this changes rapidly if the band is too loose. Since I have very soft tissue, I need my Deco bands to be firm to keep me in place and keep the cups pulled in against my chest. I'm prepared to get a Rixie Clip when the time comes and fingers crossed it won't stretch out too badly.

The quality of the bra is very good. So smooth and soft. The pattern is okay, and I love the deep cobalt blue. I would have bought the solid Deco in Cobalt if I could have found one, but I'm late to the Deco party. I wear a lot of blue shirts, so that works for me, and I haven't had any issues seeing the pattern through thin shirts.

In sum, I thought that losing weight might have fixed my "between sizes" problems, but they have just reappeared, putting me between a 28 and 30 band.

Individually, the cups fit fine. The wires are just a tad too narrow for my preference. I like how the bra runs half a size large in cup volume and the cups cater to tall rooted people. The worst part of this bra is that the cups are simply too close together. This is a great bra if you're in between 28DD and 28E, are tall and narrow rooted, and have close together set breasts.
