- SS2013 - Same as Deco but with black striped cups
More...
This bra is discontinued.
Was sent this by a supplier as they were out of stock on the 28G.
The band on this fits fine, it seemed to fit on the whole but throughout wearing it I found the straps keep sliding down my shoulders even though they are tightened all the way.
Uncomfortable. Also gives quad boob/pointy effect.

This bra gives me a really pushed up and front on shape. It's a fairly forgiving shape too.
Problems:
1. The cup is covered in a black mesh fabric, and then over that there's a brown velvet running parallel to the edge. I like how this makes the bra look, but I think this causes the edge to lift away so that the cup doesn't mould to my breast but pops up a bit.
2. issue 1 happens even though I am quadboobing when I first swoop and scoop.
3. all the swoop and scoop disappears in a few minutes because everything escapes out the sides
4. bra shows under most tops ... due to issue 1.
5. The cup is too small for me so I quad boob, and this makes the centre gore not as comfortable as other bras.
I didn't notice this til I wore it for the day. When I tried on the Freya Carlie I didn't have this problem - but the pattern made it difficult to wear. I might try and remove the velvet bit and see if it helps.. I want this bra to work, it gives me a great shape.

This bra is gorgeous, with striped cups and chocolate velvet ribbons. I'd read that the cup isn't nearly as generous as the Deco, and to size up, but the 28FF was definitely too big. The band was still loose on the tightest hook, so it wasn't worth seeing if the 28F would fit better. The cups were really tall, and it's only the last half-inch that stood away from my chest. It fit alright with my shoulders all the way back, but you could still clearly see the line of the top of the cup through even medium shirts.

Like the other reviewer, I am sad about this bras fit on the top. While everything is fantastic and comfortable, the fact that the top gapes and is moulded means that it is visible through clothes and is not for every day.
This is the most comfortable band/underwire combination for me but the top of the cups just don't work for my shallow breasts.

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.

Cup size too small for my usual size in this bra. Would recommend sizing up although I have no tried a larger cup size myself
UPDATE:
This bra no longer fits. I lose 5 pounds and 2-3 cup sizes.
It has a deep plunge which allowed my soft, bottom heavy breasts to "settle in" and create some quad boob. I need a higher centre gore; this is just not the right type of bra for me.

A lovely bra with nice details. The cups are covered with a stripped fabric and trimmed with lace and a velvet stripe. I find the band, like most Freya bands, a bit stretchy. (I prefer a very firm band such as on the Cleos Juna I own.)

This bra is really pretty but kind of awkwardly cut. The top of the cup gets narrow around the velvet strip, and can cause the appearance of quad boob despite fitting everywhere else. It runs about a size smaller than the Deco that it's supposed to mimic. It's a stunning looking bra, but can only be worn with low cut tops.

See my black Deco for a complete review - this one is the same cut, with a different pattern.
This is my third "Deco", bout only two months ago, in a bigger cup size (GG instead of G).
For some reason, the cup feels smaller than my old Decos, despite being bigger, probably because the band holds me tighter. It hasn't stretched a bit, and is 3cms shorter unstretched than my oldest one (2yrs old).
Other Decos are known to be great t-shirt bras because they're molded. Surprisingly, it's also true of Taylor, because the patterned fabric is smooth, and the velvet and lace ribbon are perfectly flat.
The design is beautiful. Even my regular-breasted high-street bra shopper friends envied me (first time ever it isn't the other way around! How I envy their delicate lace bras! But I digress), and for once, I even bought the matching thong. I simply adore this one!
