The band size runs a little large - the band is noticeably stretchier than other new bras properly sized on me, so I'm wearing it on the second hook a day after receiving it. That's a little worrying, but since I'm between sizes and my weight is fluctuating, I might not be wearing this bra for too long. My breasts are close, so my cleavage extends slightly from my sternum. Therefore, the centre gore doesn't lie entirely flat against my sternum, either, but it's close enough. The straps are nice and wide, with no seams. For someone recently sizing up from other Arabellas - the larger cups aren't ... fully made of sheer mesh like the smaller models, which is kind of sad for those who like that.
My breasts are more fleshy in the top than this bra is intended for - the top embroidered edge folds back to accommodate this. However, there's no noticeable quad-boob effect, so it's a pretty good fit.
The mesh doesn't feel scratchy, and the embroidery is pretty - even for people who don't like pink. It also has three cute little bows (also pink). It looks good, but I would have preferred it to be entirely sheer, like the smaller Arabellas.
