Whoa nelly, this runs big in the band. Size down. Seriously. Just order a band size smaller, and keep the same cup size. I'm spilling out of the cups of mine, but I think that's because I'm a really an F, not an E. It's lovely, just big on me. Thankfully, I snagged it majorly on sale. Full price, this would have been painful.
Well, this runs big in the band, sadly. That and I lost a little weight. It starts out fine, and then by the end of the day it seems a little big. Also, it's oddly gape-y when I sit down (I'm super short in the torso, maybe that has something to do with it, aside from my breasts being fuller on the bottom.) When I stand up straight, it seems great, but moving, not as good. So 50/50. Thinking of trying the Deco in a 28E or 28F to see if that fixes some of the issues.
The other issue for me is that I think I'm actually bigger in the cup than I originally thought since my breast tissue is migrating back homeward, and that's causing me some woes with sideraboobage, too.
A shame, too, because it's a lovely bra, and it gave me a lovely shape. I'm thinking that depending on my weight, this might still work, or maybe with some strap adjustment.
I'm not entirely certain I'll be keeping this bra. It is very comfortable, but I don't think it quite fits. The band is extremely stretchy, and I feel like I could drop down to try a 28 in this bra (I measure 30.5 underbust). I don't quite fill the bottoms of the cups, and the tops are a TAD loose. Also the center gore isn't perfectly flush with my sternum and the wires seem to be a very wide U shape.
That said, it looks fine under a shirt! (if you don't notice the leopard spots... the orange shirt is my "go to try on a bra shirt"). Even with my shoulders back and boobs thrust up, there is no quadriboobing.
I'll have to try this on again and spend half an hour or so around the house in it before I decide if I'll keep it.
This is my favorite bra! I've tried several non padded bras and I hate them. I never get the shape and support that I want, but with this bra I get a rounded, uplifted shape. I have it in nude and I wear it under everything. I also love that it's a plunge bra. At age 20, I don't want to have to wear full cup bras. It's also really comfortable. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
edit 9/14/12- The band is now too big for me and the wires on the side are too short.
This is easily one of the prettiest bras I own. It makes an ordinary day feel just a little bit more special. Very comfortable. Only real complaint is that the bottom of the band folds up. Granted, that is because I slouch, so I bet that if I sat straighter, it wouldn't be a problem. The shape this bra gives is pretty much ideal for me. I have close-set, fuller on the bottom breasts, and this bra makes them look rounder and higher up on my torso (a bonus!).
While I love this bra I think I'm going to have to go down a size at least in the band and maybe in the cups. I have heard that the Deco is both large in the band & the cup, but as I'm still working out my size I wanted to try all the bras I was ordering in the same size.
I don't quite fill the cup at the bottom and there's a little gaping at the top. It's not really that bad as long as I put it on the tightest band and I ended up putting in some inserts at the bottom of the bra to fill what my breasts can't. I had enough problems getting my bras delivered without going through an exchange and the inserts worked out cheaper. I'll definitely try again soon in a smaller band & cup.
I had this bra a while ago in a 28 back, however I found as the day wore on the band became increasingly painful to wear, so this time I went with a 30 back instead. Even though the band is quite stretchy it is definitely more comfortable to wear over long periods so I feel I made the right decision. This bra is kind of on the plain side I guess (I have it in the flesh tone), but it makes a great everyday bra. The lace trim at the top of the cups and the seams can be visible under some fabrics though.
Bra fits pretty well. If it came in a 38GG it'd be a better fit for me. However, I've had the bra for over 6 months and it's in regular rotation. I love that it gives my boobs a round (but not fake round) shape. This bra does stretch some, which has worked in my favor.
I did a band size down and a cup size up, and didn't realize until too late that the cup really was too big because it was gaping on the top when I sat down and showing through my clothes.
I probably won't try this style again even in a smaller cup because for my full on bottom breasts it's probably not the right style.
Oh my god, loose band! Fits more like a 34band (and not even a tight one!) I knew this, and that's why I went for the 30, but it made it difficult to sister-size to the right size - JJ was not enough for me.
This is a lovely bra, great for everyday wear but also pretty and sexy; I love the contrasting pink embroidery, which I noticed doesn't show under most of my clothes. It's incredibly supportive and comfortable, to the point where I don't want to take it off at night. It doesn't give the wonderful round shape of a molded bra, but not too pointy either. Only flaw, I find the band to be a bit too big for a 32; it's still a good fit but I'm probably going to want to alter it.
omg, people were right when they said this was loose in the band! I am in between 32 and 34 bands, and this was not too snug. This fits more like a loose 34band!
It's a good fit, but I wish it pushes the boobs closer, so I would look slimmer like my old Thai-edition wacoal but alas, wacoal doesn't make my new size of 30ff The rounded shape does nothing to push things in, I feel like there are boobs too close to my arms still
The Deco Strapless is a really good strapless bra. The band is tighter than a regular Deco which is good. It has removable straps which can be repositioned.
This bra is really good for my breasts which are fuller towards the bottom than the top and set quite close, but droopy and head off in the direction of the armpits. It has thick straps which not everyone likes but they are comfy. I can wear this bra all day. It felt very tight around the band when I first bought it and has eased off a lot now, so I'm not sure how long it will last if it stretches further. I'd love something similar. It doesn't allow any cleavage at all which is a shame.
This bra did NOT fit at all. I wear a 30FF in a couple of Panache Cleo bras but I think I'd need a much smaller cup size in this bra. But, the fabric is kind of scratchy and it's not as cute as in the picture so I didn't bother to try a different size.
