I had wanted to try the Marcie after reading about it so much, and when I saw the images of the AW15 burgundy colorway, I knew I needed it! Burgundy is pretty much my favorite color, but I didn’t yet have such colored bra. In natural lighting, it seems more like a dark purple to me, but it’s beautiful anyway. I also love the cute and unique lace pattern. Lookswise, it’s a killer! Also, the shape is amazingly rounded for an unlined bra. I rarely actually wear unpadded bras because a) I’m shy about nipples and b) the shape I get is often a bit droopy. Marcie might ... get much more use, if it wasn’t for the comfort issues.
The band seemed perfectly tight enough, but now I just realized that it had ridden up a bit after a long day (then again I’m 26"). Wires are quite wide, and for me there is about 1 cm extra space towards the armpits. For me the wires don’t really cause much discomfort at the sides, but they do press into my ribs under the bust.
There is something very strange happening with the center gore: it sort of tacks (or one wire does), but it is constantly twisted towards the other breast. I guess this is because of my close-set breasts; I often have problems with high gores. At least this way the wires don’t completely sit on my breast tissue (as in Cleo Juna), but the gore is still uncomfortable and digs into my sternum too hard. There is also some wrinkling/gaping in the left cup, towards which the gore is turned (which is my bigger breast actually). The right cup seems to fit fine. I have some fullness at the top, and this is the only unpadded bra I have tried that doesn’t close in at the top too much.
I think that Marcie might fit me be better in 28F since the gore would be lower, wires narrower, and the open cups would still probably still accommodate me. However, I’m starting to think I’ll just have to give up on Cleo balconettes, as lovely as they are otherwise – I just cannot deal with the wires. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I ordered this from Brastop because I read that Kris Line bras are the best for center fullness. I also sized up from my UK average size 28FF, as I heard that the cups tend to run small. Unfortunately, the cups are too big for me and gape at the top. The cups are too wide for me as well. The band runs true to size and has 2x4 hooks. Jeniffer has detachable/multi-way straps, and rather thick padding in the bottom of the cup. The color is beautiful and slightly more purplish than how my phone captures it. The otherwise simple look is decorated by the beautiful lace under the cups and a creative strap attachment detail.
I may try Kris Line in 60FF if I run into one.

So far, this is probably my favorite bra ever. Deco is a wardrobe basic, but a good looking and comfortable one. It’s my going out bra, an everyday bra, and I don’t have to take it off after coming home from work. The wires are quite narrow and perfect width for me. There’s no quadboob or gapping anywhere, and the low center gore is a relief. I have close-set breasts with center fullness, so any higher gore tends to poke them. The band is technically too big for my 66 cm (26 inch) ribcage, but it doesn’t bother me as long as it hasn’t stretched out too much.

The ... shape is amazing and the cleavage pretty massive. Actually, the only reason I would not want to wear Deco every day is that I don’t always like having my boobs so smushed together. I’m also a bit shy to wear it with low-cut shirts (I don’t really wear so low-cut tops that I would actually need a plunge bra). Maybe I could also try to size up for a roomier fit, since I do wear it currently a cup size down from my "standard" UK size.

Overall, it’s an amazing bra and I’m sure I’ll be buying it several times again!

This was my first Comexim order, as well as the first venture into the promised bra land of Poland. I really fell in love with the look of Geisha, and it is even more stunning in person. I love the positioning of the lace in this specific bra – there is a bouquet of flowers starting from the center gore.
I was unsure of sizing and took the equivalent of my most common UK size, 28FF. Unfortunately, the cups are a bit small for me and cause quadboob at the top edge and near the center gore. Also, the band on this model runs very tight. While I can close it, it feels quite restricting after some time, even for my 26" underbust. I ended up reordering this in band and cup size bigger, 65H - Comexim » Geisha (202) also with reduced center gore, and it fits much better.

This is a cute bra! The color is a lovely off-white, the look is rather simple but the lace edge gives a nice touch. Juna gives a fabulous, round shape and is very functional under a lot of clothes. The cups fit well (it doesn’t seem super shallow to me) and the materials feel good on the skin. The wires are slightly too wide, but not uncomfortably so. The band fits on the looser side. Nevertheless, Juna would be great for me without one thing: the gore.
I have close-set breasts that also tend to gravitate towards the center during the day. The center gore of Juna is ... relatively high, wide, and extremely sturdy. It sits on my breast tissue, poking and leaving marks. I once made the mistake of wearing this bra for two days in a row, which left horrible dark marks on my boobs for a week. I previously had the Juna in 28F that then got small and worn out, and it didn’t feel so bad after breaking in. I hope the wires would soften up, or maybe I’ll try to bend them. I’m sad because I really like this bra otherwise!

I’ve been on a search for an unlined bra that would fit my slightly FoT shape, so I thought I would try this popular style for fun. Princess is super cute definitely! It also seems like a pretty nice shape, but just overall a little bit small for me (I’m more of a 28FF but the measurements looked good in this one). The band is quite tight. Wires are very narrow when you measure them, but they seem to stretch a lot with the band when worn. I might try a 28FF if I find a cheap one.

This is one of the most beautiful bras I have ever seen. The coral silk satin overlaid by deep red lace creates an absolutely stunning and sensual look. I love the style and how the lace continues over the edge of the cup. The materials feel very soft and high quality, and the golden hardware add even more luxury to the appearance.
Unfortunately, the fit on me is horrible. I got this bra about a year ago, at first as a 28F which was my standard size at the time. It was way too small and I exchanged it for 28FF, which was still too small. I either ... didn’t realize or care, and there wasn’t even bigger size available.
Although the lace is quite stretchy, I get some quadboob over its edge. The cups are very shallow and wide, which does not suit my narrow and projected shape at all. The gore is not even close to tacking, and there is almost 5 cm empty space under it. Gore is rather wide and tall as well, so it wouldn’t even fit between my breasts if the cups were deeper. The band seems like a standard 28, and it has rather unusual 4x1 hooks. Everything feels soft and nice, nothing pokes anywhere. But I never wear it, because a) I’m afraid I would wear it out and b) it does nothing to my boobs.
On a more positive note: I am in love with the co-ordinates! The matching suspender belt is one of my favorite garments in the world (although I never really wear suspender belts). It sits perfectly on the waist, and the taller cut is very flattering and shows the beautiful lace pattern. The matching thong is extremely low coverage, and fits rather loose for an XS. It nevertheless looks very nice when paired with the suspender belt. I love the overall look and rest of the set so much that it makes me hate the bra even more for its stupid fit! It just doesn’t look good at all on me. I think I’ll just try to find another bra to match the lovely bottoms.

This is the most beautiful bra I have ever seen. I might say this many times but in this case I think that I actually mean it. Lilac isn’t normally a good match for my skin tone, but I don’t have any problem with this one and the shade is just gorgeous. The pattern and the lace are so beautiful and the whole look is just stunning. It’s my dream bra that doesn’t fit.
I ordered this some years ago through a local lingerie store, foolishly thinking that my Deco size (at that time) fits in all styles. It was a little bit small back then already, and I have grown a cup size since. Unfortunately 28F-FF were soon sold out everywhere, and I’ve realized that Freya halfcups are a bit too shallow for me anyway. I’ve been holding on to this beauty in the case that my boobs shrink, but it's too pretty to die in my closet so I think I’ll need to let this bird fly away.

I wanted to try this bra because the standard Deco strapless is not really amazing for me, and the longline band looked very supportive. And it’s pretty as well! I like the pale floral pattern in the front. The cups are very stiff, and thicker than the standard Deco strapless. They measure about the same (meaning horribly wide and shallow), but the cup shape looks overall a bit more rounded here. The cups are taller than the Deco strapless in the same size, and this one has the thick seam at the top of the cups like newer Decos. The band has soft boning on the sides, silicone ... strips at the top and bottom, and 2x4 hooks.

These cups don’t seem to be really working for me. Without the straps, there’s a lot of gaping at the top. With the straps on, I get quadboob (although it doesn’t show under clothing). One reason for the bad fit is the high and wide gore, which is not even close to tacking with my close-set boobies in the way. And well, it’s just shallow. The band is very tight. Although it doesn’t taper much towards the bottom, the unstretchy bottom edge cinches my ribs and I’ve had to open a couple of lower hooks after a few hours of wear.

I don’t think that I've actually worn this as a strapless because of the cup issue, but I can imagine that it would be very supportive for someone with the right shape. It does, however, create a rather smooth look with the straps on under tight dresses and such. I think that a size down might even be better. In the end, the 28F - Freya » Deco Strapless (4233) is for me the least bad option of the ones I’ve tried so far.

This was the first cup-sized swimwear that I got! It was quite a relief to not have half of your boobs escaping from flimsy, unsupportive triangle bikinis. I love love love this style. Unfortunately, I grew out of it almost immediately, and later repurchased the same top in 28F - Freya Swim » Calamity Banded Halter Bikini Top (3587) (longer review over there!)
