My best Deco fit yet! I'm really excited!

My ABTF size is 30E, but I found the 30E in this model to be too big - the band was loose, the cups tall, and lots of gaping was happening.

Sizing down to a 28E was a good choice. The cups fit much shorter on me, so i fill them out better and gapping is minimized. Sizing down also made the cups pretty narrow for me. The band is a bit tight for me now, but wonderful with an extender. I know the band will stretch and fit me.

The color and print is cute and playful - a perfect response to reviews that call these Decos basic or boring.

Update: despite having a decent fit, the thick seams on the top of these cups make it unbearable under most of my t-shirts. Very sad.

I had this bra in 30DD, same color, sold it trying to keep a minimal bra wardrobe. Then I see it for cheap and buy it again. This is simply a great, comfy option for a t-shirt bra.

My other moulded bras right now consist of a 28E Deco which mostly fits but is still pretty uncomfortable, not something I want to wear every day of the week. It gapes easily. My other is a 28E Deco soft cup, which fits terribly and gets painful after a long day.. still searching for it in a 28F.

This bra is great because it is comfy - not prone to ... gaping, smooth silhouette. Nothing like a stiff Deco. It isn't a perfect fit, but it tends to deal well with my shape, just creasing slightly at the bottom of the cup. I do believe the wires are prone to stretching wide, so if you need narrow cups it is best not to wear the band tight. My old one had a looser band but seemed narrower, while when i pull this newer one on the wires seem wide.

This bra is a must have for me - until I find something better. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The tightest band I've found on a spacer bra. Fits true to size, not larger.

Tall cups, less good for me. I believe Fantasie Rebecca cups were slightly shorter, less plunging.

Wires seem narrow but stretch easily with the band.

One of the rounder, less minimized shapes I have gotten in a spacer bra.

Love the soft spacer material as always.

Hate the gore and split strap details. They dig in. The straps might not be adjustable enough for some.

Overall I don't like the full coverage and tall cups. Surprisingly, the underwire does stay in my IMF. I think my other moulded bras give me a better shape, so this might not be a keeper.

Beautiful, delicate, and feminine bra. Love how sheer it is while still being fairly supportive. It gives me a pointier shape than I am used to. This blush color has a deep cup measurement so while I'm usually 30E, I think 30DD was best here. It doesn't look like as much of a plunge on me because of this, but I'm appreciative that the cups aren't so tall. I think the amount of projection it allows for is good for me, but the fit in the top of the cup is slightly off - sometimes in-cup quad, mostly bubbling at the diagonal seam while the top seam lies ... flat.. So this was a fun adventure, but this bra still isn't topping my Cleo Lily or Marcie in terms of being wrinkle and gape free. Excited to try more Freya unlined bras though - Jasmine for sure, and I've always loved the look of the Arabella plunge which is apparently the same cut as this.

The blush color looks a bit whiter on me than I would prefer - I would love to grab this bra in black, but who knows how it would fit then.

This bra is so matronly and ugly on me... and I love it! I saw the set for $15 at Dillard's sale, and I've been wanting a seamless unlined bra for summer. This is it! It's so incredibly soft and comfortable.

The band fits a bit tighter, and the cups larger, so I ended up with it over the other 30E bras I was trying on. I do wish they made it in 30 bands, but I think this 32D will work for me for awhile.

It's really not the most sexy thing, but I always feel sexy in a nice unlined bra. I feel round under ... clothes but the cup shape also makes my boobs look long and flat on top without clothes. But overall I'm glad I found it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

After measuring, the cups do measure pretty small for me, but the material is very stretchy and forgiving. The band doesn't quite stretch to 32". The straps don't adjust fully, which is okay on me, but could be a problem for other people.

My most recent impulse purchase

Dear lord is this bra tall. HUGE wings! There wasn't much about it before, but now Bratabase will know..

Such a pretty and unique bra though. Comfy and soft materials might help the tall wings to be more bearable. The wires aren't super hard either, I was just bothered by all the fabric. I know some people can handle the taller wings and might even want them, so it could be a great option for some! It will for sure help to control armpit fat / escaped breast tissue bulges, as many don't like wings cutting in.. But I knew it wasnt for me instantly and didn't bother with adjusting much to see the rest of the fit - which seemed decent really!

Measurements coming soon.

I've been looking for this bra for so long after I fell in love with it in a too small 65E. The 65F fits much better! It's about as good as I could've hoped for - the band seems a tiny bit tighter than other SP bras like it, I fill out the cups but do not quad, the wires aren't resting on my tissue. The straps and band of this size are noticeably thicker and more supportive.

I notice on this bra that there seems to be a 'bubble' at the edge of the top of the cup. I've experienced this in other Simone Perele bras too - ... where the top seam the cup will lie flat on your breasts, but there will be a slight bubble of empty space between the top seam and your breasts. I believe it is just how these bras are constructed. You can see it happening in some of the pictures. This usually gets worse for me when I am sitting or slouching. It doesn't bother me too much standing up, and isn't noticeable under clothes, so I much prefer it to quadboob.

Overall, I'm in love. I've missed this level of comfort and how thin and breathable the fabric is. I wish the bra wasn't white, but i can deal with it.

My first impression of this bra was that it seemed shallow at the wire. When I put it on though I was impressed with how the cup material hugged my shape. It was too big in the top of the cup though, gaping everywhere, wanting more top and center fullness.

This is expected since Wacoal 32DDD doesn't always fit me. 32DD might be worth a try.

It seems so lacy but the materials are really thin and blend together seamlessly (rather than thick lace stitched onto thick mesh)

This is the second B. Wow'd bra I've owned. After about a year of pretty regular use, my first began to fall apart. Some elastic came off and the bra became loose and unwearable. So the quality sucks .. might have better results if you make sure to give the bra's elastic rest by rotating bras daily. However, I did make sure to handwash it. I probably didn't wash it enough, actually, so I don't think my washing habits added to the bra falling apart.

Quality aside, I ended up with this bra again. The retail price is a bit high for only a year of use, but ... it is pretty easy to find on sale for ~$20 at my local Dillards and sometimes online. I've spotted it in TJ Maxx and Ross, although sizes vary widely. It's a good push-up that cures my desire for those old ill-fitting VS push-ups I used to wear. I should probably spring for a Deco or another popular push-up bra but I think this is a cheap compromise and I already know it fits!

This is a lovely bra with 3 part seamed cups. It seems to work ok for average projection and the band is true to size. However, the gore is wide at 1.2". I think it works okay on me, mostly becoming itchy toward the end of the day. Otherwise it's very comfortable and soft.

I almost bought a 30DDD but then saw this 30DD on clearance in Dillards and liked the fit. The cup depth is a bit smaller than I usually wear, but it stays in my IMF all day without quadding. I will still try a 30DDD if I come across it. The shape is nice and it's more seamless under clothes than expected
