Safiya is an absolutely gorgeous unpadded half cup (2HC) bra. Seriously, this bra has to be the prettiest bra I have seen, it is that gorgeous. It is sheer purple-blue periwinkle color with embroidery on the cups. Seriously a stunning bra!
For the measurements:
All measurements are taken prior to trying the bra on to insure no figure is obscured by the body. I also take all flat measurements before taking the stretched cup then band measurements for the same reason.
The band measures 22.5” and stretches to a max of 28.5”. It has 3 hooks and 4 rows of eye loops.
Cup Depth as measured by:
1 Hovering the cup between the ... knees, then placing the tape measure into the cups without any resistance.
This measurement is: 13.25”
2 Placing the cup over the knee and stretching it similar to what a breast would, to the maximum resistance.
This measurement is: 16.25”
I feel these two figures give you a general idea of the minimum and maximum depth that the cup can accommodate, just like the flat and stretched band measurements do with bands. Since Bratabase only has one cup field, I enter the larger of the two, as it’s this larger number that determines if a cup is going to fit me or not since I am on the max end of the cup scale, but do realize that some may need the lower number to determine fit for their needs, so I will always include both figures in the reviews for full disclosure.
The other measurements are: 6” cup width, 8.5” height, with a 5” wing and 4.25” gore.
As for fit,
It is about as perfect as I could expect to get, so I am super pleased! The band is comfortable on the tightest hook-set (which is my normal) and the gore sits 1.5 fingers off my sternum (again, about normal for me) and the cups fit practically perfect in my opinion. The only fit issue (which is not an issue for me) is that the wires do not follow the outside of my breasts. The wires do follow the center of my breasts beautifully from gore to IMF, and around the IMF nicely, as well as meeting my root at the top under the underarm, it’s just the curve between my IMF and top of the root that is different, but at least it is in a good way, curving further out instead of sitting on the breast tissue, so I really am happy with it. Seriously happy with it. It’s beautiful and it fits!! Yay!!
Also, the only alteration that was requested for this one was moving the straps in, which I do feel was done.

I don't see any wrinkling at the wire. I am impressed, I thought the 2HC were supposed to be shallow. This doesn't look like it!
