My favorite bra, the color is gorgeous and gives me great cleavage. Occasionally I gap a little at the top, but I don't mind because of the shape it gives.

At the time I bought this bra, I was a solid 32H in Panache, but knew that the Deco had been reported to run a bit big and wanted to try this as it was on sale.

I could definitely tell the cup was too small for me, particularly on my larger side, but the quadboob I got in it wasn't all that noticeable through shirts. I tended to wear it under lower-cut tops when I wanted to look more 'cleavagey' anyway. As time went by, I discovered that the appearance of the bra wasn't enough to make up for me constantly feeling like my ... boobs were trying to get out of it. This only got worse after I gained weight at the start of graduate school - I'm more of a 30J now, and the constant need to adjust only became worse when I needed a smaller band.

I do like the look of this bra, even though I generally dislike Freya as a brand and wish they would be a bit more original with their collections than releasing 6 Decos in different colours with slightly different ornamentation and calling them new styles. The trim on the straps is pretty but not scratchy or irritating, and I like that they've put a mesh overlay on the band to make it a bit more interesting. I also like the use of buttons as a decoration on the central gore - it feels a bit fresher than a bow. It's also very comfy to wear and I never felt the wires dig in at the bottom of my ribcage like on some of my other bras, although I know this is most likely due to soft Freya wires.

Fit-wise, I think it's a pretty solid 32GG for someone fuller on top. A 32H who's more full-on-bottom could probably wear this as well.

Runs true to size in the cup, unlike the original deco which runs a cup size large

Although I'm somewhere between a 32H/32HH (30HH/30J in Freya), when I heard it ran large I HAD to try this bra. Especially in the beautiful jade color.
Unfortunately, this bra was a huge fail for me. First of all, the band was HUGE. Even on the tightest hook, it rode up like crazy and caused painful red marks under my boobs. Secondly, the straps were far too wide-set for me.
As usual, I could not get my stubborn, bottom-heavy boobs to settle in the cups. There was almost 2 inches of space at the bottom, and the material seemed to buckle under the weight of my boobs, which left dents even after I took the bra off.
I do agree with the consensus that this bra runs a little big, as I did not get much cutting in at the top.

I like this bra, but it isn't quite perfect. When I scoop all my tissue as far forward into the cups as I can, I get a little quad-boob but don't fill the bottom of the cups, so they fold a bit and the wires don't sit in the crease. The band under the wires rubs a little; if it was sitting higher, this might not happen. There is also a bit of empty space where the strap meets the cup. I'm not sure if this means the wires are too wide, the cups are too tall, or if it is just a bad ... fit for my particular shape. The straps are a little too far apart for me; they rub the front of my armpit, but the discomfort has lessened with wear and washings. The tightness and firmness of the band are comfortable for me, but the gore doesn't tack. I am really happy with the shape it gives, but the edge of the cup shows through thin fabrics even though there is no gaping.

The freya deco "honey" was a bra of a few "firsts". It was my first true molded bra, as well as my first Freya bra. I've always been more of a Curvy Kate/Panache fan, so I was taking a slight risk on this one. None the less, I believe it was worth it!

Appearance - This bra, to me anyway, is lovely. The color is a wonderful bright red that was a much needed boost to my blue/teal majority bra collection. The band features an all over lace pattern that continues to the edges of the straps and on the continuing band. Overall though, I'd have to say ... that the buttons on the gore were my favorite part of the bra, they're adorable! This bra is definitely more attractive and a lot cuter than the normal Decos.

Fit - Alright, so this is the hard part. This bra is a bit too small on me. I hate being sized out of the Deco range. If this bra came in a 30H, I'm pretty sure I'd throw my own party for it. The gore is quite low, and my boobs are quite close together, so there's cleavage that looks a lot like a butt, so...butt cleavage. I also don't like it when my boobs touch each other, and they do in this bra. A lot. The band is also a bit loose on this bra too. I can easily hook it on the tightest hook, and although I hate the feeling of too tight bands, this was just a bit too loose for my taste (30H freya, please!)

Occasion - This bra, for me anyway, definitely isn't an "everyday" sort of bra. I'd probably end up wearing this to a club or a party...so pretty much anywhere that might require me to add a little extra "oomph" to any of my outfits. But for everyday? No thank you.

I am so happy that this fits! I have 4 30GG decos that I've been wearing for about 6 months. The cups are too small, but this bra just makes my boobs look so amazing! The cups on the 32GG are perfect on me. The band isn't as loose as I thought it would be. Hopefully it doesn't stretch out tooo quickly since I'm on the tightest hook right off the bat https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />. I'm still going to rotate through the 30GG decos along with this one. I love the red color. My other decos are nude, black and charcoal so this is ... a little more exciting! And it has a lot of details that the regular deco doesn't. It has cute lace on the band and straps. It just feels and looks great! The biggest gripe I have with this bra is that there is a 2-hook band. I would really prefer 3-hooks for comfort and to minimize cutting into my back.

Edit: I bought a red Rixie clip to tighten the band and it works awesomely! The Rixie clip is more of a classic red compared to the bright "Firecracker", but it matches well enough. I just bought the Iris Deco Honey and it's just as stunning of a color.
