Disappointing. I decided to try this as it was a "more open on top" version of Arabella. Well, yes, that's true, but the upper part of the cup seems oddly flat to me.

Not a good shape for me in the end - the flat upper cup cuts into breast tissue, the wires are a bit too wide (not surprising there, they're doable, but don't help the issues), and the overall effect is an outward pointing, droopy apex.

I could possibly fix it by narrowing the gore, but I've decided just to return it and see if I can find something that will fit better.

I had never worn a completely sheer bra till I tried this one. It's so light and airy! It's perfect for summer.

The blush colour is a very light pink; on pale skin tones, it's invisible under all tops, but then there's the issue of the white (WHITE!) diamond embroidery. Why did they make it white? Couldn't it simply have been a contrasting pink, so that it wouldn't show through shirts?

I could probably have dyed it, had the bra fit better than just 'alright'. The shape is fine; uplifted and projected but not too pointy. The band is not as loose as some other Freyas. The cups are a ... perfect width for me. I fill out the bottom and the top doesn't cut in. But, I make a wrong move, or do a little skip, or bend down, and it slips a little below my bust, and I get weird angular boob. It had so much potential. It could have been *perfect*. I have decided to return it, and it breaks my heart a little. It filled a certain 'elegant but also sexy' hole in my overly cutesy lingerie drawer.

Edit: Haha, I lied, I'm totally keeping it.
