The Libby is a really comfortable bra, and its padding is much softer than in other bras, for example Cleo half cups. I'm not sure I'd wear it under tight t-shirts because things can show through https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />. Little bumps where the vertical seams meet the lace at the top of the cups also show through. So it's a great every day bra to wear in winter or generally under sweatshirts. Besides it gives a great shape to wide root shallow breasts. Like other Freya half cup bras its cups run bigger than Cleo cups. Although the band seems very stretchy, it still works for me in the second set of eyelets (I bought this bra used, so the band has probably stretched out before I got it).
This bra left gaps on top. Some helpful members in "fitting help" advised I size down in the band and up in the cup, as it looked like the 30D cups were not encasing my entire breasts, so I tried a 28E, and was not really happy with that either. Ultimately I think the Deco's shape just does not work for me, it has too much coverage on the top. Much happier with 30DD - Calvin Klein » Seductive Comfort Customized Lift (F2892) for a plunge bra.
This bra is a pretty good fit. I measure with a 26" underbust and a 31" bust. The wire is a bit too narrow and pokes me a bit on the side, but it isn't painful. The fabric also gapes a bit on the side. The top of the cups wrinkles a little bit, especially when I am standing without perfect posture.
Very comfortable, but I am a bit uneasy wearing a softcup bra in public still.
This bra didn't work for me at all. The cup shape, if I had to guess, would work much better for someone that was full on bottom and very round breasts.
For me, I didn't fill out the cup. There was a lot of wrinkling in the cups, and zero support. The tops of the cups cut into my breast tissue, somehow giving me both wrinkled cups and a slight quadraboob.
This band is super stretchy, though the strap is pretty much not stretchy at all.
I actually quite like the fabric on this one, it's a smooth, fairly thick fabric. The three piece cup feels well made and I really wish it fit me. Unfortunately, it doesn't. The cup wrinkles too much , though the dimensions feel right besides the depth. The strap placement feels really comfortable.
As this is too big in both the band and cup size I won't be keeping it.
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.
This was such a pretty bra it was a shame the fit wasn't quite right on me. I bought it in my usual size but found the band wasn't tight enough and the cups were just a smidge to large as well. For a while I managed by fastening on the tightest band hook which minimised the gap at the top of the cups, however once the bra started to stretch with wear the gap became increasingly noticeable and I had to stop wearing it. That said I really did love the look of it and may buy another one, next time I'll go with a 28 back.
Another soft cup bra. This one give a nice shape, much better than Panache's Sophie but alas, the 30 band strikes again. It just isn't small enough. This leads to the bra fitting just oddly. When I pull enough out to make the band the right size it fits perfectly. Another one to get altered since Freya refuses to make any of their soft cup bras in a 28 band. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
For info this bra has 4 rows of hooks. This was meant as a maternity bra so I'm guessing they're there for a little extra adjustment. I measured the band from the 3rd set of hooks; the ones that would traditionally be the loosest hooks.
Love the look of this bra, but the band runs big. The 30D is too big in the band for me, though the cups fit perfectly. Also, there is no boning in the sides, which means the longline band is prone to rumplin/ wrinkling/ curling. In a 28 and with some boning I'd be buying this style in every print.
Gives a nice line. The band and straps are very comfortable and supportive. I don't quite fill out the top part of the bra as the day goes on (I 'settle').
The moulded cup is nice and gives me a fine cleavage but I'm not sure if the bra fits well. There are some problems in stemum area and I guess the band size is too wide. 28 DD or E woud brobably fit better.
Very comfortable. My favourite bra. Nice rounded shape with some uplift. Spills out of the sides a little. Straps unravel after a few washes(maybe 15-20).
100% I agree that a smaller band and 2 or 3 cups up would fit better.
