Deco no 3. I love the simple look of it. This one has the loosest band, but probably because it was used. It still feel supportive enough on the first hook, The cups fits good as well. Although, the straps are a bit too wide on me, while in Vibe they fits slightly better. Its really weird, but all decos fits differently - the old models doesnt work for me, while vibe and delight seems similar but!! Ive tried recently delight in new beige version and it didnt work. Theres 2 more style of deco that I really need to try! Charm is on the way and ... need to find Darling in decent price https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
EDIT:
So after wearing the deco for 1 day at work. At the first couple of hours - when I wasnt moving a lot it was fine, just straps were falling from my arms - ive closed them with J-hook, and it was horrible idea, after 2hours I got shoulder pain and it irritated my skin, so Ive put back to the normal position and just tightened them. Overall the cups are too wide on the sides and this causes red marks and is uncomfortable :/

Probably my favorite Deco iteration! The heather gray and ivory lace are such a pretty combo, somewhat vintage-inspired but still casual and seamless enough for everyday wear (the edging on the cups does however show a bit beneath thin shirts). Over time (and especially after having the chance to try out Polish bras) I've realized that the deco is just sooooo shallow that I can't get it to sit, let alone stay, in my IMF at all. As a result, the bra has a tendency to migrate downwards throughout the day, causing discomfort as it rubs against my ribs. I also have a strange fit issue with it where I'll fill out the cups perfectly just after S & S, but as I wear it the upper/outer portions of the cups gape as if they are too tall, and my boobs begin to bubble out the center instead. Despite these things, I keep this bra around for times when I want cleavage in combination with a multiway option and a perfectly round/uplifted shape.

I'm kind of mixed on this bra. It is beautiful; I fell in love with it the first time I saw it, but due to a bad experience with the 28G - Freya » Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) (quadding along the inner edges of the cups, gaping at the tops of the cups where they meet the straps, cups coming up way too high to be comfortable for me), I was reluctant to actually buy it, thinking it would fit basically the same way. This one actually showed up on my Bratabase recommendations in this size, so I decided to finally give it a ... shot.

In terms of look and construction, I love it. I got the Dove colorway, which is a light-medium gray with white lace trim and darker gray straps. I thought it might be too light to wear under certain shirts (lighter bras tend to show terribly on me), but I wore it under a white v-neck tee with no problems at all--like, the thing practically disappeared under the shirt. The fabric is smooth to the touch and feels amazing, the cups feel sturdy, and the band has decent stretch without feeling like it's going to get stretched out too soon. The straps on this are fully adjustable, so the convertible hooks are separate sliders that you can move up and down the straps as you need them (which is amazing, since I'm used to bras like the Betsey Johnson Intimates Stocking Stripe Lightly Lined Demi Bra (723803) where you have the straps that are only half adjustable and the J-hook stuck in the center). My only qualm with the construction of this bra is that when you wear it racerback, in the back where the straps meet the band, you get this kind of lumpy, crinkly thing going on...it's a little hard to describe, but you can kind of see it in this picture: http://bra.pe/IXeG/ . It's like the trim along the band is too stiff to convert with the rest of the bra properly, so it kind of pokes out instead, and it's visible. Nobody else seemed to notice it all day, but I noticed it, so it annoyed me a little.

The fit of this bra is...um...I'm not exactly sure. It's the right size, but might be a shape mismatch again, though not quite as bad a mismatch as the Deco Plunge. I compared it to my 28G - Cleo » Maddie Moulded T-shirt Bra (7201) which fits me perfectly, and the cups are roughly the same size, but shaped differently. Compared to Maddie, the cups aren't quite as wide, the underwires don't come up as high under the arms, the cup is taller along the inside edge, and the projection looks to be more towards the top of the cup (for Maddie, the projection is sort of in the middle). It also seems like the tops of the cups where they meet the straps want to point outward a tiny bit, whereas Maddie points a bit inward. So my problem here is that initially, after scooping, the bra fits perfectly, and I even get some awesome cleavage, but once I start to move and things get resettled, I end up with gaping at the top of the cups, requiring me to scoop again. It's not really bad enough for me to say I'll never wear the bra again, which was the case after trying on the Deco Plunge, and it seems to be difficult to find convertible bras in this size that aren't super bright colors and won't cost your entire paycheck, so I'll keep this one for now and hope that maybe one day it'll fit better, but in the meantime I'll still keep an eye out for something that might work better for me.

The basics: A moulded plunge bra, with a trimmed in seam along the edge of the cup. A delicate grey heather with feminine white lace. Typical stretchy Freya band. Plus it comes with a J-hook to turn into a racerback bra whenever I want it.

This was my very first wellfitting bra. Oh Deco Delight how I loved thee! You fit my boobs and gave me cleavage and never gaped like your original Deco sibling.

As time goes on however, I've learned that you just how you and I make it work despite being so wrong for each other. You're supposed to be shallow and wide, while I ... need projection, and lots of it, immediately. Plus in every other bra I wear a 30F/FF, yet you're a 30E. How does that work? I've learned that my boobs push out the cups at the bottom. In my normal size, this causes serious gaping at the top. So if I size down, the gaping disappears. Its not an ideal fit (now that I know what to look for, its obviously small). There's a lot of cleavage, which is now what this bra is used for since I have other better fitting bras. But I'll keep it for the date nights https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

A nice simple everyday t-shirt bra. Runs a bit smaller than other Freya Decos. Unfortunately due to my boobs changing shape and needing more projection this no longer fits. It covers the boobs rather than supports them and gapes when I move. It's a real shame as I loved wearing this bra, it gave a lovely (albeit large) shape.

This bra is great, it fits really well and feels like your favorite tshirt. It's a very simple style, but still really pretty. The band feels firmer than other Freyas and I though it might not be as stretchy, but it does stretch the same amount.

This bra appears to fit after scooping but I get gapping within a few minutes of moving around. I believe it's because the cups are way too tall and not projected enough at the bottom. The lack of space at the underwires is meant to push boobs upward, but it doesn't work with firm breasts. Instead, my boobs push the cup down and away from me, causing gapping at the top.
The wires are a good width but the band could be a little tighter.

Oh good lord, I love this bra. It's very comfortable and flattering, in my usual Deco size of 28G. I am very impressed with the racer back feature as well - it is an adjustable clasp that can go up or down the straps as one wishes, which I really enjoy.
It's also beautiful. A nice smooth fabric that doesn't snag or catch on sharp things (nails... Velcro... looking at you, beige Deco). A touch less push uppy than an average Deco, but it is still very impressive in terms of defying gravity - especially when in racerback.

Not the right shape for me. My boobs fall out of the middle! Sadness. I love this color and it is a great bra, I wish it did fit me.
