I was not happy at all with this bra. I know for a fact that my band size is actually 29inches, so its recommended that I buy a 28 to account for later stretching. I normally buy 30 because its difficult to find 28s and they don't stretch too much, but for a strapless, i know i will need the support. But this one was just difficult. The bra was really tight, even on the last hooks, so I think it runs a little small. It also tries to flatten the breasts with the shape of the cups. Rather than accounting for the full bust people with a 28F have, it is shaped to bring the breast up, or in my case, into the middle. No matter how much I fiddled with it, my breasts were not even and would not stay even remotely in the cups. For the less busty, this is great. Not for the busty!

The first strapless bra that actually fit and didn't give me quadboob! However, my left breast is smaller than my right and I got a folding in the bottom of the left cup where I didn't fill it completely. I only had this bra a couple of months before I migrated into the next cup sizehttps://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

The band is extremely firm and becomes a bit uncomfortable after more than 5 or 6 hours of wear. I'm sure with time the band would stretch out and become more comfortable, but before I had the bra long enough to get comfortable in it, my breasts grew and the cups became too small.

This is my new favourite strapless bra EVER!
The band is a bit tight, though I fully expected that when I ordered it, but I also decided then that I would just wear it with an extender thus increasing it's lifespan! I have yet to buy an extender, but I have tried on the bra itself and worn it around the house, and save for the tight TIGHT band (which to be honest is a very good thing in a strapless!) I have nothing bad to say at all!

The cups are flush against my skin at the top, the underwires encase all of my breast tissue, don't poke into ... my underarm and the central gore is perfectly flush too! And I LOVE the round shape it gives me!!

This bra came with straps, and there's a very good chance I will wear it as a normal bra as well once I get the expander because it's just so gorgeous and comfortable!

I would recommend this bra to anyone looking for a snug, seamless strapless bra, because I know at least for me, my search for one has ended! Thank you Freya!

Great! It's a lot tighter than my Panache Porcelain Moulded strapless... it feels firm and it feels like it should stay put.

Sadly the cup is a tiny bit too big at the moment, but I'll make do with that, it's fine when I put the straps on.

The straps are very comfortable, and I love how there are two positions for the straps, so you can adjust how far apart they are. The band is very firm on the new bra; it's a job and a half putting it on, and once I'm settled in, it digs into the ribs on my left side. I'm expecting it to loosen somewhat with wear. The wires are wide enough, and the wings are high enough to feel secure, but not so high that the wires poke. Gore is nice and flat.

The cups have no quadboobing, but there is *still* a strange "crease" / ... "flattening" on the lower half of my left (smaller) breast (the same thing that has plagued me with my Panache Harmony 28DD and 28E, both in black). Pulling the wires right up (i.e. making sure the wires are sitting right on the breast crease, not below it) helps, but I think it's mostly caused by the wires being stretched a bit too much, which in turn is caused by the band being very firm (not very stretchy) on this bra. I'm considering an extender.

I've worn it for a day so far, and it works (no sliding around; the weird "crease" disappears under clothing). I was despairing of ever finding a strapless bra to fit me in a 28 band - the Wonderbra strapless (which I'd heard great things about) isn't available in a 28 band; the cups of the Panache Evie strapless were far too deep for my breasts, leaving most of the cups empty (and sad looking); the cups of the Panache Porcelain closed up too fast, resulting in a strapless bra that *looked* okay, but had weird empty space when you pressed down on the cups (and quadboobing).

This isn't a great fit on my shallow boobs (the bras that fit me best, Masquerade Alice and Betsey Johnson Eyelet Lace demi, fit in 30DD on the middle hooks), but it's worlds better that my ancient Zara 32B strapless.

The cups are too big for me, but the moulded cups are firm and hold their shape so I don't mind too much. I worry if I sized down to 28E, the cups would be too closed on top and create more quadboob. The band is so firm there is no way it will slip down - for now, I'm using an extender, actually, so the top rim won't cut an as much on my pecs.

This is by far my favorite strapless bra. I've tried quite a few- Victoria Secret (their plunge strapless bras were fantastic when I was the equivalent of 32b-32c), Panache Porcelain (loose in the band, very thin cups, and shallow), Masquerade Tiffany (it's white, and not a plunge).

The band is firm and runs snug, unlike the regular deco. The cups are probably not quite as big as the regular deco plunge.

This bra does everything a good strapless should do- it has a good shape, it's supportive, and it doesn't budge at all. It's also not super high cut- it's pretty much the most "plunge" you can get in a 28 or 30.

The band in this bra runs very tight, I couldn´t get it hooked! Or I did once, but it was too tight and then the bra would sit too low. My usual size is 28F and my ribcage is about 27 inches, but in this model I would need 30.

I will continue this when I get an extender...

EDIT. With an extender this bra is actually very good https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I find the cups to be true to size and they seem to fit me very well.

This bra would work well under a strapless dress, although I'm not crazy about the shape it gives me under T shirts. It gives a bulky matronly appearance, but with a strapless top it is fine. It fits me better than any Freya I've tried, which are usually too deep for me.

This is my first strapless bra that seems to fit decently. I tried the 28 because even though the 30 band was fine, I wasn't sure if it was tight enough for a strapless. Anyway, the 28 is really snug which I think will help with the support, but it made the silicone lining hurt a bit when I was putting it on.

I didn't see much lift like the person in the picture, but it felt ok. I think I would be comfortable wearing it out and about, but I wouldn't go running for the bus with it.
