A strapless bra is an essential in one's closet: you'll never know when the need to wear one arises. Being a fan of the Deco range, I decided to try this one out as my first strapless bra in my true size.
General
The strapless entry in Freya's Deco range, featuring the same basic look. A seamless, moulded, padded strapless bra, that can also be worn multiway. Those who find their shape incompatible with the regular Deco often have more success with this bra, as it works well for those with full on bottom breasts.

Look
![]()
A plain, beige coloured bra with a small dark beige bow in the center. Little fabric trims adorn the underside of the band.
Band
Cups
Seamless, moulded, padded cups. Cups offer quite the coverage, I'd say their more of a full cup style, so don't expect cleavage . Two settings for the straps sit in the cups on each side. Cups are true to size, if only a bit small. Go up a cup size from your regular Deco size, or take your usual size.
Center Gore & Wires
Center gore is narrow and of moderate height, only slightly lower than a traditional balconette. The wires are very wide; they're almost on my back. Avoid if you strictly wear narrow wires.
Straps
Fully adjustable straps with hooks for attaching and detaching. They're the same style as in the other Deco bras, so quite bulky. But, you can attach any straps of your own choice, as long as they have hooks.
Fit
I prefer to wear it racerback, when worn like this after scoop & swooping I get very slight quadboob, but not enough to size up (in my opinion). The main cup issue is my arm pit tissue not being contained enough; I assume because the cups aren't high enough. The wide wires cause no fit issues, but do cause comfort issues; see below. The band is still a bit loose on me, but it stays up decently when worn strapless. It looks great underneath clothes, giving a nice round shape.

Comfort
After a while the wide wires start to dig in, becoming very painful. The center gore digs in after a while too, causing a lot of pain. Because of this, I can't wear it for a long period of time.
Verdict
One of the best strapless bras out there, and I'm glad to own it should the occasion ever arise. I'ts one of my got to t-shirt bras, though I can't wear it for long because of comfort issues. Still, I highly recommend this one, esp. if the regular Deco didn't work well with you.
