This a pretty bra with a nice design (though I'd probably prefer a slightly different color scheme). It doesn't quite fit me (the cups wrinkle along the top a little), but was still pretty comfortable. Probably my biggest complaint with this bra is the very strong projection/cone look of the cup shape. I need some projection and don't mind some cone shape, but this is more than I can handle. I didn't try it on with a t-shirt, but it would probably be less noticeable under something.
Beautiful bra. It's nice to have it in another color besides black. I thought the color might not be darker enough for me, but I like it just fine.
The fit, as predicted from my other Gem, is perfect. Snug around the rib cage, no quadboobing, comfortable against my funky ribs/sternum. Some might think there is too much projection, but I don't have a problem with it.
It's a high quality bra - built well, et cetera. It's just very, very mismatched to my breasts. It feels very small and tight on me and I get a large amount of quadboob. If it had more projection, I think I'd do better. I'm a bit in between 28G and 28GG. I also have a black Deco in 30G and it works much better, though it's still not a perfect shape.
Just received this bra and love the fit. The straps aren't as widely set as the Deco Honey I have which makes this much more comfortable to wear. The band feels pretty nice. The only problem is I have is the strap length since its a multiway bra. Other than that, it's a great bra.
This is a very pretty bra, though it's a little pointy where I prefer a rounded shape. It's just a tad bit too small and I get very slight quadboob - I'm a little in between sizes, I think, so I'm either a tiny bit wrinkly on top or a little overfull. The gore sits very low and comfortably, making it a fairly ideal plunge style.
After trying both the 28FF as a direct comparison and the 28GG from before, I think that the 28G is probably my best-fit size in the Patsy Plunge. There are certainly wrinkles at the top section of my less-full side, and in general I can see why this is probably a more optimal shape for someone who is fuller on top than me. However, after realizing how poorly all my bras fit, having the narrower/shorter and more comfortable wires and wings under my arms seemed like reason to keep this bra as part of my collection despite not being completely in love with the more pointed shape.
Previous: This is ...my second try with the Patsy after the first proved too large in the cups.
I still like the fabric; the ballet pink is very cute.
I believe I am FoB, and I am certainly not filling the top section of this bra. If I let my shoulders roll forward, the whole top section above the stitching is loose. I do think that I prefer the wire width and height under the arm of this bra compared to the Panache bras that I've tried -- though, I do get some soft folds at my armpit. I'm not entirely certain if this may be going too narrow on the wire width for me?
The band is also soft - this is a 28 and I have it on the tightest hook while trying it on. As I'd expected from reading beforehand, the shape is quite pointy. Dissatisfied with the fit of this bra, I went ahead and ordered the next cup size down to try... Read more 163 more words
It fits in the cup but the band is too loose for my 24" back. It's kind of riding up. It feels like a 30 band more than a 28 band. And the wires go a bit high to the arm but it's acceptable, not poking. The straps are thick and quite separated for my narrow shoulders. The good thing about it is that it gives a nice and round shape. Looks good on clothes
As of trying it on and wearing it briefly, I'm not in love with the color (crimson apparently equals orange red at Freya). However, the general fit is pretty good. The band is a pretty tight 28, but comfortable unlike the tightness of Panache's Tango. The cups fit well unless I take a really deep breath, at which point they quadboob a little. (I think this is probably a sign that I still ought to be leaning towards FoT rather than FoB, though I'm fairly even.) Even with that, I think it is going to be a keeper.
Edit: I'm pretty hesitant ...on keeping this now, actually. After trying it out for just a little longer, the gore started to really hurt on me. It digs in not at the top of the gore, but rather just before the wire curves under my right breast (right where my ribs connects to my sternum and sticks out a bit). Not sure if there is much I can do about that except add padding there. Or perhaps try it in a higher band. I hesitate to go in the direction of a 30FF, but either that or a 30G might work.

The Freya bra in 28G did not fit me at ALL!. I had previously ordered the same bra in 28F, but the cups did not hold everything for me and the shape was odd for my breasts. The bottom would sag and fold on itself and could not handle me trying to fill it. I ordered a larger cup size, but the same problem persisted. Clearly the Freya is not for my breast shape.
I really like this bra. I started with a 28F or 28FF (those didn't work for me) and then bumped it up to a 28G and found it to be a pretty good match, but with a tiny bit of quadboobing on deep inhales. I went ahead and tried the 28GG and found it to definitely be too big. So, 28G it is! I've only been wearing it for about a week, so I haven't noticed any stretching out yet at this point. All in all, it's quite comfortable and no other complaints as far as fit is concerned.
From the Deco range from Freya, with a new design, charcoal grey striped, and green trim on top of the cups. It's very comfortable, only too small for me as I've been fitted 28GG.
amazing bra. this is my fourth(?) deco. it just gives me a fantastic shape, and fits my body really well. it's fairly comfortable. I wear my deco(s) practically everyday. it's a good bra for fancy occasions, and also lies flat under a tee (though the flamingos obviously show through a lot of stuff).
it's not a great period bra if you get really sore breasts during or before your period, as being lifted up and in when you're sore can hurt. (tbh, I like that it keeps my boobs in place when they are sore before my period, ...but putting it on and taking it off doesn't feel great.)
The straps on this are a major improvement over the regular deco straps. they're narrower, softer, and have more stretch.
If you wear a tank or a dress, or anything even remotely low cut, you can count on the deco to give you some great cleavage, especially if you S&S! wear something higher cut, and your boobs will look smaller because they are up and in. Awesome!
the only downside of the decos is how quickly the bands stretch. Read more 89 more words

This is my favorite bra! I had another Deco in 30G and the band stretched out just a bit too quickly. 28G works much better and this bra is wonderful! Great shape, lift, comfort, and quality.
Soon after finding out my correct size, I realized that there weren't many options in the strapless bra department. I took myself off to the local bra boutique and attempted to stuff myself in this one. I wanted to love it so much that I bought it, even though it looked a little iffy on shape.
When I got it home, I tried it on again. My husband said it best: "You look like you have no boobs." This bra flattened my chest and splayed my boobs in the most awful fashion. It looked terrible on my narrow and projected breasts. I'm sure it would lovely on a shallow shape, but my breasts felt smooshed. The cups are also higher than one might expect and peeked out from tank tops. No fun.
A positive: The band is very firm and doesn't stretch much above its 28" claim. It also doesn't seem to stretch out at all with wear, holding up the breasts with no trouble. So there's that, at least.
Love all of the Decos! This bra has a comfortably tight band and the cups give great cleavage. I may be able to go up a size for I sometimes have a slight slip of the nip. Great shape under clothes! The underwires are not too high in that they cause pain or discomfort but show under tank tops. I am in desperate need of a supportive bra that has lower cut wires and thin straps.
This bra gives me the lift I need, since I have low set breasts (fairly firm, a bit full on top). It feels sturdy and wonderful. As I've only been wearing it for 2 days, the band is making my skin a little bit sore, but I expect it will chill out soon. My breasts don't fill the cups 100% if I slouch, but the 28FF was decidedly too small for me. It's a strange, lovely feeling to not be in a bra that's too tight in the cups. I could get used to this...
The Freya Marvel in Black runs like a true 28 band should fit. The band is not loose like the other Freya's that I own. What I mean about the band fit is that I cannot pull the band away from my back more than two fingers. Once I adjusted the straps on the Marvel I had no problems with it. It's not my favorite bra but its on my top ten list. I do have another Marvel in the same size on the way in the Butterscotch.
