I like this model (see 30E review). But it was too small in the cup for me, and too big in the band.

Very open at the top. Straps are quite uncomfortable material.

I really like this bra. It's super comfortable, pretty, and it gives a nice, uplifted, rounded shape. I wish in came in size 28E, but 30D works. I will certainly buy more Freya Half Cup bras; hopefully they will offer a 28 band! I wear size 30DD in most other brands (Panache is my favorite), so, to me, this bra runs large in the band and the cups. This bra does not do as good a job at keeping my breasts front and center as the regular Deco, probably because the wires are a lot shorter and the band is thinner. It is a great bra for low-cut collars.

This is definitely not for wide root, full on bottom shallow breasts if this is generally your size. I got extreme gapping in the top of the cups and the wires were too narrow.

It's a beautiful bra, but I should have ordered a 28E instead.

I LOVE this bra. I wasn't so sure about the fit at first (I had a little bit of gapping at the top), but after being in properly fitted bras for about 2 weeks now, I think I'm having some tissue migration. I fill it out perfectly now! It definitely does seem to run about a cup size large, as my typical size is 30DD, and this in 30D is perfect. I have never liked my boobs outside of an extreme pushup bra, but I LOVE how they look in this bra, without all that extra padding! I actually have cleavage! The Deco Honey is very comfortable and seamless under shirts, and the purple color with the center button accents is adorable. This bra is definitely one of my favorites!

The stitching around the top edge of the cup makes this bra fit more like the Taylor than the regular deco as it is more closed on top so it doesn't gape as much. Otherwise the shape and fit are typical of deco variants. The fully-adjustable straps are long so that it can be worn as a racerback.

On my long and fruitless quest for a Patsy that fits, the 30D came the closest (I'm usually more of a 30DD/E). The wires were still too wide, but also slightly sitting on top of my breast tissue at the bottom toward the inside of the cups. There was some barely noticeable quad boob near the gore (I am slightly splayed with more tissue toward the enter of my chest). I am FOB, and gapping at the top of the cups was a trend for me in this bra. In this size, my larger breast looked perfect but I had a major nipple exposure issue with the smaller one. In general, my nipples are positioned way too high in this bra, and in this size, the one in question was high enough in the cup that it was half visible and pushing the fabric away from my breast. I can't imagine what would happen if I tried to wear this all day.

Super cute bra, but wires were just not wide enough, and the cups were a bit too projected for my shallow boobs. The larger one could fill the cup with swooping and scooping, but the other one couldn't. After moving around the larger one escaped anyway, and left gaping.

This doesn't work if you have lots of upper fulness.
The cups also seem more projected than the Freya Summer Padded Half Cup (4551) style halfcups with vertical seams (Patsy etc.)

The 30D has a thinner underband and side wings, thinner straps and a slightly wider center gore than the 30DD.

Well this bra didn't work out for me. I have too much upper fullness and get quadboob. This bra may still work for people in the shallow spectrum but who are more full on bottom. It's an attractive bra, feminine without a lot of lace and frills.

Wow - talk about short wires! This bra not only gives me cleavage at the center of my chest, but armpit cleavage too! Yikes. I'm so sad the Deco line doesn't work for me. This bra is really cute; the black suit stripes are clean and smart, and the strip of satin along the straps is a great detail. The glacier color is a soothing icy aqua.

This bra is the same cut as the Freya Deco Moulded Half Cup Bra (4232) and likewise runs large in the cups and band. I sized down in the cup, but stayed with my normal band size. The looseness in the band isn't too much of an issue for me, but the uneven tension between the top and bottom of the band is far more bothersome. The bottom of the band is nice and snug, but the top of the band is loose, and even has slack just behind the cups.
This bra works for shallow breasts, though I find the wires are not long enough and the cups offer *just enough* coverage.
Appearance-wise this bra is definitely a "prettified" version of the Deco Moulded half cup. The fabric is a sugary pink with damask stripes. The sides of the cups and top of the band are edged in a cream lace, finished with bows at the straps and center gore.

The Piper Longline bra set is truly gorgeous - beautiful black lace trim and black flowers on a peachy-pink background...I have the matching shorts and the set is beautiful.

The Freya Carys longline has a looser band than I was expecting, so I would need to size down to a 28 band for the best fit for me. It is extremely comfortable and provides a lovely curve to my breasts, but unfortunately, I think the cups are a bit too wide on the side for my breasts. Not sure if I need to size down in cup or if the wires are just too wide. This, combined with the strap placement on the cup, makes it so that there is a vertical wrinkle on the cup from the strap to the wire and the outer section of the cup lays flat against my rib cage.
It's a beautiful bra but this does not work for me.

Very cute bra. I got it in a swap pretty much just to assess my fit in the Freya padded half cups and longlines (I have tried only 30E before at Nordstrom, and they were far too large). Since this is too small, I can say with confidence that I am a 28E/30DD in the Freya padded half cups and longlines. It's a shame this bra doesn't fit me, but at least now I know!

About the bra: VERY COMFY. The padding is perfect -- exactly the level I want. The seams just barely show through t-shirts. Even though the cups measure as being too far apart for me, ... it ends up not really being much of a problem. I am thinking I could just quickly fix that in my own size if the need arises. The band is stretchy, but Freya is famous for that. Again, quick fix, not worried. The one complaint I have about the bra is that the mesh overlay seems larger than the cup itself, so it kind of wrinkles and folds over on itself... right where my nipples are. So from my POV, things look pointy, but from the side and stuff, they look pretty much okay. Nothing a cami/tight knit couldn't fix, at least.

Great bra for my shallow shape, very comfortable. Unfortunately though, I lost some weight and now it's too big.

This bra is a padded half cup with vertical seams and wide wires. It's very open on top and often recommended for wide root shallow boobs.

Although I'm usually a 30DD, this bra fit surprisingly well in 30D. It runs a tad big in the cups and I thought it fit me when I tried it on.

However after a few wears I noticed that the cups are slightly too small for me. The wires sometimes sit on breast tissue, indicating that they are little too narrow and the band might be too stretchy.

The band runs quite large. It stretched about 5cm (2'' ) within the first week of wear.
Unfortunately shortening the band is not an option for me, as there already is slight quadboob if I wear this bra on the tightest hook.

It's just a little too small overall, which is sad because I really adore the pattern and the cute look.

This bra is a great fit for me, and as someone who has shallow breasts I definitely like how it fits compared to the full cup styles. The band is snug on the tightest hooks and the straps are a little on wide side, but that works for me since I have wider shoulders.
