A pleasant surprise from Freya, whom I haven't had a lot of luck with up to this point. But this bra is so gorgeous I couldn't help myself! Very nicely narrow and projected, very stretchy band as per usual Freya. Nevermind my twisted strap in the blog pictures! If anyone knows where I can acquire a nude color 28FF, I'd be eternally grateful.

So I've been a little obsessed with the aesthetics of this bra ever since I disc

165 bras

Ok, so I'm still working towards figuring out my real bra size through trial and error...

Band size is good, though a little tight since it's a new bra. Cup size is definitely too small, though. No matter how I arrange myself in the cup, I'm still spilling out. This isn't very noticeable from the front, and looks just fine under a shirt. But, this messes up with how the bra is supposed to look in profile... I should be lifted up, but instead it makes me point downward with all of the excess breast tissue coming up over the top of the cup. Not a good look. However, the bra itself is gorgeous. I got it in Cassis, and the color combination is so so pretty. For now, I'll have to return it, but I'll try it when I can in a 28G.

Sexy, supportive see-through bra

Updated on Oct 20, 2019 Flag this

ahhh! This bra is absolutely beautiful. I feel sexy wearing it because it is so sheer and pretty. I will most likely keep this bra even though the fit isn't perfect. The gore is a little high for my breasts and leaves pretty severe marks. The band is a little too stretchy. I would say closer to a 30 band than a 28. I am a tight 28 and I can wear this on the tightest hooks, but it feels most comfortable on the middle hook. The details of the bra are really beautiful and girly, but also sophisticated and sexy. It is sheer, so nipple show occurs and it may be best suited for summer time. All in all, I love this bra, but it isn't a perfect fit for me. I may keep it and I may end up listing it. We will see.

This is a beautiful bra. I like it even more than I thought I would. It's kinda fascinating to wear a sheer bra. Never had one before!
Fit-wise, I'm really enjoying the 28 band.Comfortably snug on the last hooks, but hopefully it doesn't stretch too much with wear. I usually fill the cups in a 30ff, but for this one I sized down to avoid wrinkling. That was a good choice with this bra! There's a bit of wrinkling sometimes on my smaller side but it isn't all that obvious. Wearing it on the first day, it's a bit itchy - not terrible, but hopefully that'll go away when I wash it.
The pink part at the top is frayed a bit but it's hardly noticeable.
I don't get any pointiness in this one, either. It gives a nice shape.

This is the best fitting bra I own right now, initially discouraged by the sheer and unpadded cup, it's turned out to be a winner! I would highly recommend this bra to anybody who is FOB and narrow.

Pros

Looks cute
Sturdy straps
Band is well constructed and doesn't make me look lumpy
Gives a great shape

Cons
Some may not like that it's sheer
Headlights can be seen when on https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
Underwires poke me under the arm

This bra is practically brand new so the measurements I've taken shouldn't be too far from the new item.

The Freya Arabella has been around for some time, I think it was probably one of the Freya bras I ever saw. I've come close to buying it a few times but I've always put it off. I actually didn't ...

6 bras

This bra was soo painful for me to even try on for 5 min since the underwires dug into my sternum really hard. Idk why this bra is so popular, it's not even that pretty for how uncomfortable it is and the design would show under clothes.

Because this style didn't work, according to bratabase these styles have the same cut as Arabella, so I won't even bother: Lyla, Eleanor, Eloise, Halle, Nina.

bought 1/2013 from Her Room for $58, returned it

I really like Arabella's design - the black mesh and the pink details go beautifully together. Sadly it's not the best fit on my slightly different-sized boobs, the bigger left boob cuts in the fabric a little bit while my right boob doesn't fill the right cup completely and the mesh wrinkles unattractively. Also the band is a bit on the loose side, I'd like to tighten the straps to get more lift but the band rides up. The straps are quite pretty and very comfortable.

Overall I think it's a nice bra, but I can't wear it with anything too figure hugging.

It's one of my faves, I think it fits me well, is very comfortable and I consider it pretty https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Beautiful bra and surprisingly comfortable. Bra fabric wrinkles a tiny bit in the cup but otherwise a good fit. (The 28F of this bra was too small in the cups for me so I bought the FF)
