I bought this hoping for a nude t-shirt bra and it’s not going to work for that, so when I order again I will probably go with a different style. The seams are too prominent and it gives the green shape almost to an extreme, which looks sort of odd with my already high-set breasts. If my kiddo hasn’t eaten for a while, I can fill out the left cup but the right one is just way too big no matter what.
This is a really lovely bra, for being “basic”. It has bow details on the straps and the gore, with tiny faux pearls sewn to the middle ... of each bow. The lace detail is nice, and it you’re wearing a shirt that can hide the seams the lace and bows shouldn’t show, either.
How it works with my shape: As I mentioned, the shape it gives is not necessarily desirable when breasts already start right underneath my collarbones. If you want a lot of lift, this would be a great choice. My breasts appeared more like FOT when scooped and swooped into this bra.

My first impression of this bra was OH MY GOSH it is lovely and it is huge! I definitely overshot my size, moreso in this than the other bra. It is well constructed, and the band is firm so even though it was too big it didn’t really ride up. It’s so big on me that I can’t really evaluate what shape it gives. The wires are really narrow, and it’s awesome! All my other bras seem to want to shove my boobs under my armpits, but the Comexim encircle all my tissue and end where they should. I highly recommend this if you find yourself bothered by ... too-wide underwires in most brands.
The appearance of this bra is just unmatched in my opinion. I don’t mind softcup bras as much as some, but this made me realize how much I missed lightly lined/padded cups. I can’t wait to get this in the right size.
How it works with my shape: Being FOB means I need to size down a little bit. The plunge is great for being close-set. Nothing stabs or pokes. In the right size, this has potential to be a Holy Grail bra.

It's cute and gives a decent shape for a nursing bra. Not as much lift or separation as I like. However, the band on this is a nightmare. There's only two rows of hooks and since there's no underwire, the band finds the space in between my ribs and digs in. If the band was wider and spread out the weight more, it would probably be much less painful, but as it is this will only be a sleeping bra for me.

This bra is identical to my Freya Deco, except with lace overlay on the wings. As such, I love it. Did not order differently from my normal size.

I should wear somewhere around a 28GG. (28 underbust, 38 bust) I bought the 32FF because it was the closest sister size in stock and I really needed a bra. I am fuller on top and I am nursing (4 months post partum).

The band is too stretchy, but the gore tacks. It offers good support for being two band sizes too big. The top of the cups doesn't dig in unless my breasts are swollen, but even when it digs it is not painful or too noticeable because the fabric seems to be elasticized.
I think the wires are too wide because when I take this bra off ... I have red marks a couple inches behind where my breast tissue stops. Probably because the band size is wrong, again.

I can nurse in this, which is a big plus. The center gore does not come up too high, but it is slightly too big for my close-set breasts so it sits on the breast tissue just a little. Also not painful or too noticeable, though.

I don't love the appearance or the colors it's offered in. I like bras in colors more like those offered by Elle MacPherson. But it's not a grandma bra, so I don't hate it either.

I will check out some of the sister bras to this one, because overall I do like it.

This bra is so comfy- the pattern is adorable, even if I don't like the colors that much. Very stretchy band. Cups run true to size.

I am suffering through the process of breaking this bra in. It hurts a lot right now- jabs me in the sternum, is too stiff, etc.- but I have read that the Lucy gets better with time. The cups are at least two inches too wide, so I have tried to bend the underwires a bit to lay better against my ribs.

I have it in the navy blue/pink color and it is much cuter than my white Lucy. It provides me with so-so support. I wouldn't buy another one.

Most people recommend going up two cup sizes in this bra, but that was too much for me. Wires much too wide, cup much too big. What a shame, because it's gorgeous and lined with some of the softest fabric I've ever felt on a bra!

I love this bra. It makes my boobs look awesome, it's really comfortable, and I finally have a nude, seamless bra for under shirts! I didn't have any of the sizing difficulties that seem to be really common with the Deco, I just bought my normal size.
