The objective: the measurements I took are for the internal bra. The slip itself is 19.25" long from the top of the gore to bottom of the hem (size 32E). The bottom front and both the bottom and the top of the back band are lined in non-slip silicone type material. It comes with two sets of straps, one clear and one black. There are 8 total strap attachments, two on each side in the front and back.
The subjective: This may be the least flattering undergarment that I have ever worn. The cups are very wide and shallow and quite tall, and at ... least a full cup size small, if not two. Freya is my best fitting brand in mesh cups and 32E my regular size, and the gore was a good 1.5" away from tacking. And yet there was at least an inch of unused space at the bottom of the cup that was inaccessible due to the shallow depth.
The band felt spot on (I tried it backwards, due to the cup discrepancy). I was able to stretch it a bit long when measuring, but honestly, it felt nice and firm, and due to the grippy silicone stuff it was hard to get into place and didn't budge a bit, so I would not want to size down at all.
Lastly, the slip bit. It is a stretchy smooth material. Definitely not shapewear. Obviously much tighter than they show it on the ASOS and Nordstrom models (I am 5' and 118-120lbs in my pics for reference). Nice enough as you put it on, but it begins to ride up as soon as you move, creating bunches and wrinkles. There is no silicone or grip of any kind at the bottom of the slip to keep it from riding up, a fatal flaw, in my opinion!
To summarize: If you are have wide, shallow breasts and are very tall, then this could be your strapless cami!!! Otherwise, I think Freya has some work to do here.
