Ugh. I've come to terms with the fact that none of my new bras fit. Well, they do fit. Except they don't. The straps are always chafing against my armpit, and it's become really frustrating. The only bra that doesn't do it is my 32F Marcie - but my 34E Marcie does, despite that fact that the fit seems exactly the same, other than the band being slightly longer. What's up with that?
Anyway, I'm thinking about trying a Freya Deco but I'm unsure which to get/what size to get. I've narrowed it to the Plunge and the half-cup, but I have worries about both. I have soft tissue, so I'm concerned I'll spill out of the center of a plunge, I've never tried one before. And I'm worried that the straps of the half cup will be set too far apart and have the same problems I have with my current bras. Also, is there a difference between the plunge and the honey plunge other than the color? Does anyone know if these bras fit TTS? The measurements look like they'll work for me in my usual 32F but after all my success-turned-failures, I want to be sure of the sizing at least before I buy it.

There's a guide to the different Decos on Petite & Plentiful. From the looks of it, the Honey fits just like the regular Deco. They're all pretty notorious for being tricky to fit, but people who can wear the Deco seem to love it. I'm too shallow, myself. And Freya bands tend to be super stretchy, so you might want to size down there, if you can.

I find the Deco Honey bands somewhat tighter (as in truer to size) than those of the standard Deco plunge. The Honey's wings are made of a different, decorative fabric than the standard Decos, which may explain that.
For all the plunge versions, I need to size down in the cup (30F rather than my starting-point size of 30FF) because I have even fullness and the top gaps in my regular size. Someone with a lot of top fullness wouldn't need to do that, though.
The Deco half cup has push-up pads, which you may or may not like, and is quite wide and shallow. I had one before I was sized out, and although the wires were a better width for me than those of the plunges, I hated how wide the half cup made me look from the front. My breasts naturally point straight forward, so a bra really has to try to force them into an east-west position. Nice cakes-on-a-plate cleavage, though.
For sizing, I currently wear a 30F (down one cup size) in the plunges and would need to go up one cup size to 30G (if it existed) in the half cup.
