I had a pretty good feeling with the Deco Hatty, in a 28G, after trying the Deco Honey in a 28F and it was too small https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It gave me a starting point at least. And I LOVED the Honey, so now I know what size to get https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> But as soon as I put this bra on, it was like the angels' choir singing "Hallelujah!!" I FOUND it!! Finally! I just love everything about this bra!! It is PERFECT for my shape! I have even fullness and seem to always end up with quadraboob in ... every single bra I try...well, not this one! The cups are just the right height/width/depth, its like this bra was made for my girls. Lol! The band is perfect for my narrow 27" ribcage, on the loosest hook. Very snug, but not unbearably tight. The gore lies perfectly against my sternum, no wires digging in. The straps are rather comfy and thick. This bra gives a great lift with an amazing shape!! I am a bit bummed that I don't seem to be getting terrific cleavage, but it's doable. I could probably even swing a 28FF and really get some nice cleavage but i didn't want to risk more quad boob. I like the color as well, a very soothing teal ("glacier").

Overall, I would highly recommend the Deco Hatty as an everyday, regular type of bra. It looks great under clothes, tho I will say there is a slight line from the top of the cups showing thru but nothing worth sacrificing the bra for. I am so happy I finally found what I was looking for and a size that works for me! I think this bra runs pretty true to size since I was just measured at a 28G https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I just love Freya! And will certainly be acquiring more models in the future, absolutely the Deco Honey again, that was my fav (awesome cleavage and lift)! I feel like the Hatty is a more "toned down" version of the Honey, the Honey just gives the girls a bit more oomph https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> But that's why I would consider the Hatty as a more practical, everyday bra.

Update: After wearing this bra for an entire day, I think it might be better to go down a cup size and try the FF. I had to keep scooping n swooping to avoid gaping in the cups. I also had to tighten the straps way too much to try to stop the gaping. The gore started to bother me as well, and the wires were digging into my sternum because they were just too high. I had to keep pushing the gore back down. The fact that I had to tighten the straps wasn't helping this. I'm so bummed. Oh well, I can def hang onto this one until I find a replacement. Hoping to find a 28FF in the purple.

Second Update: I LOVE this bra and have been determined to make it work. So, I tried wearing it on the SECOND hook and eye and tightened the straps just a hair, and what a difference! I think it just is taking me some getting used to since all I've ever worn are VS padded plunges my whole life. But taking the band in a little bit made ALL the difference! The cups seem to fit perfectly now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I really don't think going down a cup would be better. I think a FF would cause major quad boob. I just have to get used to the gore being a little taller. I still love the shape this bra gives me and I think with the band being too loose it made the cups slightly awkward. But MUCH better now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

1) Perfect underwires on this--they follow the lines of my breasts perfectly, making this bra very comfortable.

2) I love that this bra is not padded! It's very feminine, and sexy to boot.

3) Sometimes the top of the cup does dig into my breast tissue.

4) The only consistent problem I seem to have with @Freya is that I usually have a little bit of extra fabric at the bottom of the cups. The rest of the cup fits great, and I'm thinking it's because I am more full on top _and_ my breasts are very firm, so they just don't mold into the basin of the cup.

Fit is ok but doesn't lift boobs very much. A bit scratchy, more suitable for wearing at home for short periods of time.

Sad to say, me and the deco just don't get along.
I have tried this bra in a few sizes so the size is not the problem.
This bra just seems to cause me so much back pain. I can't seem to wear it for even an hour without the pain kicking in https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It makes me feel like I am hanging heavy boulders from my neck despite the fact that I get correct support from the back band.
I am yet to figure out why this happens. I also don't like the look that it gives me under clothes. It makes my breasts look extremely high on my torso. Unnaturally so. It just doesn't look natural to me.

God, I love this bra. It is so comfortable - I have almost fallen asleep in it once or twice.

It lifts my breasts up very high and close to my body, which I really enjoy. For me, this means that there is not a ton of jiggle when I move around, which for lower cut tops I find really appealing. It's a very high, compact shape from the front, lots of cleavage, and from the side it's very high and round.
I have fairly soft tissue and it does a very nice job of getting it all in there. The wires also are fairly short so they ... don't stab me in the arm pit/around my back, which drives me nuts.

I'm a student so I spend a lot of time sitting and it is really comfortable as an everyday bra.
The cleavage is pretty intense sometimes, though, and it lifts them up pretty high, so I sometimes shy away from it depending on the outfit/my mood.
I am a firm believer in wearing whatever you feel like in the moment so I do often wear it as an everyday bra, though, just a heads up to those who like a lower profile for everyday.

I recommend the Deco to all of my full busted friends.

While this bra isn't the best fit for me by any means I still find it wearable and like the shape/profile it gives me.
The problems I have with it are the band being very loose for a 28 and the cups not having enough immediate projection (although I hear this model does have more immediate projection than the regular deco and this bra certainly doesn't have the most shallowness at the bottom of other similar bras i've tried (I get pretty bad folding of the cup near the wire on my Masquerade Amor in the same size)).
The top of this bra is also more closed than ... the regular deco because of the piping on the top of the cup - the deco lydia which doesn't have the trim gapped a lot more on me when i tried it.
The straps I found chafed a bit at the armpits for the first few wears but I no longer notice it.
Overall I find it a fairly good bra and i still wear it despite being able to get a better fit in other brads/styles.

The centre gore on this just doesn't seem to sit right no matter what I try, and occasionally one of my boobs escapes from the side if I am running for a bus or something. The material also feels a little too thin, but I like the wide straps.

I got this bra because I wanted to try a Deco 28G brand new. I ended up selling it because I don't need a beige bra.

The fit was OK, but the cups were too shallow at the bottom for my boobs so the crumbled.
I am not a fan of the foam that Decos use, they make my boobs sweat so they're not good for me.

This 28 band fits me nicely unlike 28's in Cleo which are too tight.

Right after I scoop wearing the bra I filled the cups completely, but as the day goes on the boobs move around so I end up with some gaping on top and the bottom of the cups crumbled.

I got these same problems on my 30FF - Freya » Deco (4234) .

Got this from a friend who told me the Freya strapless bras were on the big side.
Well, the Taylor strapless is not!

The band is nicely tight, but the cups are really too small for my 28GG.
I found the 30G, it is much better.

This bra reminds me of a candy store--particularly of a candy necklace.

The fit is small in the cups. Fully swooped and scooped, I spill out of the front and a bit on the sides. Since the cups are small and the band is a bit too big, my boobs naturally want to escape anywhere they can. The bra then gets pushed outwards away from my body and boobs escape at the bottom as well. I would fare better in a bigger cup and smaller band, although I'm ok with the band tightness due to the fact that the extra hooks (there are 6 in total) provides more stability in the bra structure.

The bottom of the band that makes up the longline aspect does flip and bunch with any amount of daily movement. I don't mind it. I almost feel like short boning might eventually poke through and stab me. I'll pass on that.

Definitely a bra that makes your breast look "pointy". Unfortunately, it's either a cup or 2 too large for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Otherwise it fit well, especially the band. My rib cage is 28.5 inches and the 28 band fit nice and snug on the outermost hooks. Plus the center gore actually lay flat on my sternum for the first time ever in bra, sweet! Still questing to find my "true" size.

This bra is so pretty i could die! It gives me great support, and a nice round shape, but wrinkles a bit on the top of the cups. It might be just half/one a cup size too big https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Wow, I am so impressed with this bra! It holds up my boobs even better than underwired ones, due to the design. After my initial test wear, I just kept it on and wore it the rest of the day. It was so comfortable I sometimes forgot I was even wearing a bra! However, I can understand people complaining about chafing by the band. I did not experience this myself, but the lower edge of the band is quite rough and sharp to the touch. Another downside is that you can't insert extra padding in case of asymmetry. Still, if this came in all sorts of pretty colours and designs, I would totally buy them!

My best fitting bra at the moment.
Gives a nice amount of lift. Comfortable. Lovely colour (I have purple.) Fits true to size. As my breastfeeding days come to a close, I will probably have to size down a little - it' starting to gap. The band hasn't stretched much. I wear it on the middle hook at the moment.

So far, I really like this bra. The fabric the bra is made out of it wonderful and soft/silky. And nice details in the design. Because of how stretchy the fabric is, I get almost no quadboobing, regardless of what I do (even with my shoulders pulled back), which is kind of cool. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The only complaint I had initially was that the shape of the wires was a little unconfortable on my sternum (a perpetual problem for me). I bent and reshaped the wires and so far that seems to be doing the trick. We'll see if it is enough.

Edit: I've decided that though this bra fits well in every way, the wire aren't padded enough for me. I've tried bending the wires and it's just not enough.

This a pretty bra with a nice design (though I'd probably prefer a slightly different color scheme). It doesn't quite fit me (the cups wrinkle along the top a little), but was still pretty comfortable. Probably my biggest complaint with this bra is the very strong projection/cone look of the cup shape. I need some projection and don't mind some cone shape, but this is more than I can handle. I didn't try it on with a t-shirt, but it would probably be less noticeable under something.

Beautiful bra. It's nice to have it in another color besides black. I thought the color might not be darker enough for me, but I like it just fine.

The fit, as predicted from my other Gem, is perfect. Snug around the rib cage, no quadboobing, comfortable against my funky ribs/sternum. Some might think there is too much projection, but I don't have a problem with it.

It's a high quality bra - built well, et cetera. It's just very, very mismatched to my breasts. It feels very small and tight on me and I get a large amount of quadboob. If it had more projection, I think I'd do better. I'm a bit in between 28G and 28GG. I also have a black Deco in 30G and it works much better, though it's still not a perfect shape.
