I have mixed feelings about this bra. It is well made for sure. The materials feel luxe to me, the band feels firm (unlike many of Chantelle's newer offerings), and the hardware solid. The cups are lined with a silky taupe fabric that feels smooth but makes the bra appear sheer. My favorite part is the straps, black with a cream running stitch down each side, pretty enough to not worry if they show.

But though my partner complemented the sexy appearance of the bra, I felt dowdy in it. I felt it overwhelmed my petite frame and was self-conscious of it showing over the neckline of my shirts. The gore was definitely too high for me as well.

This bra definitely doesn't fit in a technical sense, the cups are a bit too shallow at the base, they gape a small amount where the straps meet and and the gore does not sit flat. But with an extender it is workable, and is the best fitting molded bra that I have found so far for my very soft, pendulous breasts.

I really like the way the gore cuts away very high on this bra. This is great if you have a high tummy or spread ribs from pregnancy. I also like the novelty of the very thin straps on this bra.

I will likely repurchase this ... in another color but will try it in a 32FF to try to eliminate the extender and the slight center overspill I get at certain times of the month.

NOTE - This review is for the blue spotted version of this bra. I have tried the solid colored "Maddie" bra that has the lace on top of the cup (as opposed to coming from beneath like this style) and I think the fit is entirely different. This bra seemed more shallow and closed on the top, while that bra seemed deeper, but very open at the top. That version stood away from my body by over an inch at the top in this same size! I think this version is the better choice of the two for pendulous, full on bottom breasts.

Same as all Freya half cups, just a bit too wide and shallow for me. I think the push-up padding causes the Deco half cups to run at a half cup to a full cup small.

Another great mesh Freya in the Untamed family. Funky zebra print with neon pink edging, perfect for summer, when bra straps keep showing no matter what I do.

Shape is forward, projected, great for FOB, slightly more natural than round (green shape if you read Bras I Hate Blog) but still uplifted.

I got about one month intermittent use out of this bra before I had a cup changing weight gain. I also removed the tiny strap bows because they got caught on the main shirt that I wore this bra with, so they are missing in my photos. The bra retails with tux bows at the strap attachments that match the neon pink center bow.

First of all, I love the looks of this bra. The feather design with the black lace topper is one of my favorite designs Freya has ever done. The cups are the silky material and the band is a matching printed mesh.

This bra checks every fit box correctly (except straps, but nothing ever fits there for me) but something still does not feel quite right to me. It looks lovely, no pulling or bulges, but I still find myself fidgeting with it constantly. My best guess is that it is just barely too shallow for me at the bottom of the cup. I wish it worked, because it is really a great design.

I was sent this size by accident, so it obviously doesn't fit, but I wanted to show pictures of the style since there weren't many out there. I am wearing bike shorts under it so that I can show the cut of the entire bodysuit.

This bra doesn't actually fit but it is the best fit that I currently have in a plunge. I only use a plunge about three times a year with one dress, so this suits just fine.

The cups are fairly deep for a molded bra and the wires are narrow. The straps are too thin and stretchy and they deformed and wrinkled right away.

I bought this bra on sale thinking that I could wear it with an extender, and it was a bad idea. It is just so tight. I gave it about 2 hours and then gave up. I think bandless styles might just not really be for me. The wires were very stiff, unnecessarily so for such a small cup size, in my opinion.

The bra itself is beautiful. The cups fit perfectly. Although I generally prefer a more natural shape (good pointy or "green shape") I did appreciate the lovely rounded shape this bra gave. I think this resembles the look you get with moulded cups and would look nice under certain types of clothes.

This bra fits me about the same every other unlined Fantasie bra that I have tried. The apex of the bra hits about 3/4 of an inch too far out making a wrinkly pocket at the apex and deep wrinkles at the sides. Definitely east/west on me.

The bra seems well made, but the tall wires, combined with the deeper cups, end up looking oversized and frumpy on my petite frame.

This is one of my older bras and it is definitely too large in the band and too small in the cup. The band is quite stretchy, as are the straps. The wires are of medium firmness. The cup is well constructed, lined and contains an inner side sling to center and support. The overall size is nice for a petite frame.
