As far as I'm concerned, the Arabella is as close to perfect as a non-customised bra gets. Not saying it's for everyone, but it works for me.

I've been experimenting with a few differently shaped Freya bras, and while many are good, Arabella suits me best. My breasts are:

- narrow-rooted
- close set
- even - shape 3/6
- fairly soft
- round
- neither high nor low set

If you're the same, the Arabella could be for you. It is an extremely comfortable, forget-you've-got-it-on sort of bra.

Depending on time of month, there's either a tiny bit of wrinkling at the top of the cup on my smaller breast, or quadboobing on my larger one, but neither is an issue.

In terms of appearance, I love the Arabella. I love sheer bras in general, and I squeezed myself into many far-too-small bras in my youth just because they were sheer. The bra gives a very up-front and slightly pointy silhouette, although the pointiness softens after a few washes. I slightly prefer the up-front-but-more-rounded silhouette of the Freya half-cup, but I much prefer the comfort of the Arabella.

ETA: After trying out some new bras it's become obvious to me that the Arabella only fits 95% - it gives me a little bit of quadboobing. However, the bra is so comfortable and pretty (and fits well in all other regards) that I'm going to keep it.
