I often debate whether I prefer this bra or the 28GG - Freya » Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) as my go-to nude bra. The band on the 28GG Freya is tighter and firmer, while on the 30G Casey, it's quite elastic, which I've reviewed before is not my preference. If it rides up (which it does), it pushes down on back fat, which is less than flattering in tight dresses and shirts. Also something to note, the band elastic doesn't seem to last as long as the Freya Deco since it's a single sheet of elastic rather than two layers as in my Deco. Also, ... the wires creak. It has to do with the type of wire and the rubberiness (not a word) woven into the fabric.

All that being said, I own several Caseys in nude and euro nude. I like that the cups are softer and more pliable than the Deco. I can easily squish myself into shirts that will shape and frame my boobs, rather than having my boobs manipulating the shirt in weird shapes thereby causing a less than streamlined silhouette. To better elaborate, I'm describing the fabric gap that forms under the bust and tappers towards your waistline causing you to look wider than you actually are. Casey sometimes helps me feel like I have manageable boobs and can fit in those XS/S tops I'm supposed to stay away from.

I suppose each bra serves its own purpose. The Deco for spandex-like materials and the Casey for everything else.

Nude colorway

Updated on Oct 28, 2014 Flag this

My shape: slightly shallow teardrop/FOB with super wide/tall roots and very close-set tissue in the middle.

This review is for the darker Nude colorway.


I won this bra in a blog contest, but took someone else's size recommendation, which turned out to be a mistake! See my review of what I believe to be the correct size 30FF - Parfait By Affinitas » Casey (2801) .

It's a lovely bra, and I think the cups are a little more forgiving to my FOB boobs because the band is too loose. However, the standard fit problems (namely, the band riding up in the back and the gore moving around some) are obvious.

I have fewer problems with the straps being so far into my armpits and chafing with this size, but it still gapes across the top of the cups when I slouch, and I quadboob in this one when I pull my shoulders back.

This bra doesn't suit my breast shape, or perhaps it's too small? Maybe I can't wear a plunge style with molded cups. My boobs seem to be falling out between the cups, and there is a lot of empty space at the top of the cups. The gore doesn't tack, so probably the band is too small. It seems that my breasts are too full near the center to be contained by this plunge.

I really like this bra! The fit is very near perfect. Underwires follow breast tissue, low gore gives me plenty of options for shirts, nothing pokes or digs!

I like the smooth moulded cups with the hint of lace, very classy!

Construction looks solid. I'm happy to add this bra to my closet!

This bra is lovely; comfy and give me a pretty nice shape. Unfortunately, with my shape (FOB) I need to go down a cup size, as I experience some gaping at the top. Also, the band is a true 30, and was almost too loose for my taste. (I measure at 28 in the bra calculator but sized up for comfort). I wish it fit me, because it is so comfortable!

Creates a round shape on toro, was too small for me.

Cups looked very round on my toro, bra was too small. I have read the other reviews and agree with all points said before.

Amazon indicates the U.S. size, not the UK size, so I ordered it way too big.

I bought this bra in this size based on recommendations from bratabase after entering in my information but there has to be some sort of mistake, since the cups on this bra are WAY too big! Doesn't fit me at all. The band size seems comfortable, but the underwires feel stiff and are hurting my ribs.

The Casey bra has very soft cups that would work better for you if you have a bit of shape problems with Decos which have less pliable cups. The moulding is what I would describe "squishy" and that also adds to the comfort level. Cups feel a tad bigger than equivalent Deco size, but not enough to make a difference.The straps are stretchy and comfortable and the band closes with 3 hooks at the back. The lace detail on the cup doesn't really show under anything I own.

The band on this bra is confusing to me though. I don't know if I like it or dislike it. ... It has this stretchiness to it that is definitely firmer than a Deco, but the load distribution does not seem to spread across the band from top to bottom but rather is concentrated at the top and bottom where the elastic is. The middle part is a mesh material which does no heavy lifting. The result is that this band will ride up and stay up stubbornly. Apart from that though, the rest of the bra is great and gives me pretty cleavage.
