Love the elastics in the band-perfection. Love the fabrics covering this bra, and in the lining. Love the breathable semi flexible foam cups. Love the super smooth semi stretchy strap choice. Love the delicate dainty youthful details. LOVE the funkly bitty gold ring & black satin ribbon pull tab decor on the gore. Love this simple sleek gorgeous piece of work enough to buy it for my petite busty teen.
For something that otherwise passes my standards for construction, materials, and has so many great things going for it this must be said:
THERE'S NOTHING DEMI OR PLUNGE ABOUT THIS BRA, BASED ON HUNDREDS OF ... OTHER DEMI & PLUNGE BRA MEASUREMENTS.
PETITES & SHORT ROOTED AVOID THIS HOT TRASH CITY. FREYA GAVE US A HALFASSERY AND SCALED IT FOR A LEGIT GIANT WTF WTF WT ACTUAL F
We've had enough time with this one in kid's rotation to say:
-The only band in the history of this company that just barely stretches to advertised size, beautiful wonderful supportive band
-Shortest band ever only covers 6" of back at full stretch, the rest is ALL CUPS BABY
-Massive wide wires
-Outer side of cup digs like hell into a petite body's armpit
-Straps are idiotically wide set
-Straps are idiotically wide set on even me
-Straps are of massive length (almost half a yard!) and only can be shortened to 9.5"
-Gore is average height
-Gore is average width
-This is a molded balconette, not a plunge in ANY sense of the term
-The cups HAVE DEPTH!
-Depth is ONLY AT APEX (facepalm)
-Cups therefore can only accommodate a breast shaped like 7, because
-Bottom of cups are so shallow it begs the question whether the design team that dreamed this up have ever seen a single breast in their entire lives
-Cups are full height approaching fullcup sizing
This didn't fit well on 4 different people of very similar sizing. That tells me more about what fly by night cash grab this style is than an actual clothing item designed to serve any functional purpose.
ONE STAR: CUP SHAPE ISN'T COMPLETELY DISASTROUS, JUST THE MORON THAT DECIDED IT ATTACHED TO A COMPLETELY UNWEARABLE FRAME.
FREYA. SIT DOWN, WE NEED TO TALK.
HEAR ME OUT... WHAT IF... HUSH WAIT.... ***WHAT IF***... WE... PUT... THE... CUPS... ON THE FRONT
OH YES NO I UNDERSTAND IT'S SCARY, PLEASE LET ME FINISH I PROMISE I'M ALMOST THERE...
THE CUPS DEAR... ON THE FRONT OF PEOPLE'S BODIES... YOU KNOW... WHERE THEIR BREASTS ARE?
I UNDERSTAND IT"S NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE, BUT SO HAD WALKING ON THE MOON AND LOOK WHERE HUMANITY IS NOW
OK. YES I SEE, NOT THE BEST ANALOGY. BUT THINK IT OVER, WILL YOU???
So now I have no idea if I must take out height from the top, pinch it out from the bottom, narrow the gore, bring the straps at least 1" in toward the gore, OR carve out and reshape the armpit area. I don't know what Expression Dummy wants from me to make it work for a perfectly normal, evenly breast shaped little person, but I refuse to utter a single syllable from this day forward honoring the baldfaced lie which depicts it as anything more useful than the average pathetic molded tee shirt nippleshield.
Good Day, Sir.

Hmm, I had quite an adventure with this one and have reviewed it in 32E + 34D +34DD. My advice is to make alterations to a J-hook bra. I have begun the process on the 34DD but not finished yet. Part of the outer cup between armpit and shoulder strap has been cut off to make it more of a center pull fit.
Anyone interested in this bra should know it's a mix of the Deco and the Idol (runs big!). I owned the Deco vibe in 32E for a while but it was too stiff and shallow so the Expression fits better. I agree with you regarding the name. Where is the plunge?
