I have very short roots, so it might be because of that, but I have several inches of gaping at the top of the cup. I often fall somewhere between a D and DD, but this is more than slight gaping and even connecting the straps couldn't correct it. The band is nice and tight, especially for Freya, and the cups hold their shape really well. Size down in the cup, especially if you are on the narrow/short roots side.

I thought this bra might be the answer to my strapless prayers. The wires are still too long though! The wires are also too wide and slightly too far apart int the center. UHG! This bra does what all other strapless bras do - make my boobs disappear! Here's a hint: If I'm buying a strapless bra, I probably want to show the ladies off a little bit. That means lower wires in the center! Maybe in larger sizes this bra works, but for me... sooo not what I'm looking for in a strapless bra. (Sorry for the mini rant)

In my ever constant struggle to find a functional strapless bra, the Deco Strapless was my very last option. You'd think that someone who owns 10+ Deco plunge bras would have opted to try the strapless version sooner, but I was deterred by the higher gore.

This strapless bra seems to work on a lot of people. I’ve read a lot of fantastic reviews from a lot of happy owners. Upon putting on the bra initially, I could feel why other Deco Strapless owners were raving about this style. The bra did seem to be self-supporting and didn’t slip down. I opted for a 30G since 28GG was ... not available in their size range. There are 3 hooks on a firm and sturdy band lined with silicone grips. The band was too big on me and coupled with another issue I will get to next, the bra kept shifting around my body whenever I moved.

My boobs are close set and higher gores simply will not tack. What happens instead is that one of the wires will sit decidedly on (usually) my left boob while the other wire takes the tiny space not big enough for a wire channel in the middle. This would be fine if I simply stood still, but any amount of bodily movement shifts the damn thing around and this is especially bad in a strapless since there are no straps to anchor it.

Another problem I have is I think this bra is too broad for me. It gives me somewhat of an east-west look under clothing whereas in a Deco plunge of the same size, I get the desired pointed forward look. This obviously also has to do with my biggest nemesis, gore height *shakes fist indignantly*. Because of the higher gore, the cups on the strapless Deco are shaped differently than the plunge.

This bra is a no go for me. I wish it didn’t have to be this way. In less than a month, I have to wear a dreadful strapless bridesmaid dress and according to the bride, I'm not to go braless -______-

Time to invest in some duct tape.

This bra used to be too tight when I first bought it (I had to get a stretcher band), but it has since stretched out and is comfortable to wear, and stays on under strapless tops and dresses.

The only real problem I have with it now is that where the straps attach the padding underneath the surface fabric has ripped, I imagine because of the pull of the straps. It's fine to wear strapless, but it looks off when worn with straps.

I had given up long ago on finding a strapless bra, but here we are! Great for shallow breasts, and a nice snug band. This gives me a rounded shape and great uplift. And it stays put! I wore it around the house for 2 hours, and completely forgot I had it on. Great support, and comfy too!

Overall I love this bra and I'm so happy to have a strapless option that is comfortable and flattering. Unfortunately after only wearing it a handful of times I believe I have to start putting the band on tighter hook(s). It is definitely a bit too big for my frame, but unlike the freya deco convertible t shirt bra and the freya deco plunge t shirt bra it seems wearable. I may have to take the band in if it stretches too much but I can live with that.

I love the amount of coverage it gives. Enough that I won't nip slip if the bra slides down ... a bit but not too much. However I do feel like the band is huge for my frame. A strapless bra band should be bigger but I don't need it quite this big. Unfortunately, with some of my clothes it shows under my armpits. It is comfortable though and that doesn't seem to be more than a style issue.

I would absolutely recommend trying this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Update: well after trying on the bra again to take pictures I found that it now fits best on the tightest hook. And of course being a 28 I can't just buy freya a band size down. I'm learning to sew so I won't mind having to take in the band, but what worries me is some puckering at the bottom of the cups... From what I have read I think it could've been caused by the band being too loose... But I am afraid that it means I'm not filling out the bottom of the cups although it seems to fit great so I am not sure... You can see how it seems to fit and that issue in my pictures. I hope that with a good wash it'll straighten out a bit and I can see what happens when I wear it tighter.

This bra was initially an okay fit, the band runs pretty tight, but after gaining some weight it's definitely too small. This is the only strapless I've found that's open enough on top for my shallow shape.

After trying the 28G of this, I thought the 30G (as I am usually a 28GG) would be a good fit...
But it was even worse.
Nothing in this bra was made for my shape!

The band is obviously too large to wear strapless, but I didn't expect it to be the right size for me so wasn't surprised.
The center gore is coming up too high, making the cups cover too much from the middle and top. I tried it on with a strapless top, you could easily see 2 cm of the bra, so no strapless possible, and no plunge effect either.
The wires are not long enough towards the armits and the cups are too short so my boobs are trying to escape from the sides.. not even talking when I tried to move my arms.

I wouldn't recommend for wide-rooted like me, it digs in and makes it very uncomfortable.
Also, I think the Deco strapless are only for narrow and FOT breasts.

I will keep on looking for the perfect strapless.

This bra looks very strange. My boobs spill out of the tops and sides so I would have to attach the straps to hold them in place/keep them from moving into my armpits (which completely defeats the purpose of a strapless bra). I think the cups would need to be about an inch taller to hold everything in. I'm considering keeping this bra and just using it with the straps as a multiway to replace my regular deco because of the added versatility and I think the fit is better as long as the straps are on! The center gore doesn't lie completely flat and the band is a bit looser than I would like. A 28F might work better.

It fits comfortably, and stayed up while I danced the night away at my brother's wedding.
