Stretched band - 27"
Band - 23.5"
Cup width - 5"
Cup depth - 9.1"
Wire length - 8.5"
Cup seperation - .8"
Strap width - .8"
Hooks - 2

PROS:
Soft material, not in the least bit itchy (not sure why others complained about that)
Thick straps for better support, plus the embroidery on them prevents them from readjusting on their own
Supportive full band that (for once for Freya!) runs true to size and does not slide around
Because it's a plunge and also a balcony style (This is the style sold to me by Nordstrom, it is not a balconette), it gives great lift but doesn't leave you with that pointy look. I can wear this under ... thin t-shirts and although the seams do show through just a tad, it is minimal compared to other lace bras.


CONS:
Why can't Freya line their bras? I don't understand...just a thin material of the same size, it would give an even rounder look and be just a bit more warm. The material is very thin, so show-through is a problem if you're cold.
I wish the wires were a little bit taller on the outer sides. I'm more average-full busted, but for someone with fuller breasts (the total circumference) this would probably result in side spillage.


The cups of this bra are cut exactly the same as the Freya Arabella. The only difference is this one fits better because the ribbon on the Arabella prevents the top fabric on the cup from stretching so it can give a point and quad-boob look. The black lace on the tops of these cups seem to have a bit of give so the pointy appearance is not as bad.

*Update 8/02/11*
I never wear this because it's uncomfortable. For a few minutes it feels ok and looks ok, but after those few minutes the cups wrinkle and sag, while at the same time cutting into breast tissue at the top of the cup resulting in what appears to be quad-boob.

Hm.. I believe my breasts to be too shallow for this shape. There are wrinkles in the apex of the bra, but the top edge cuts into my tissue (muffin boob). Also, I feel as if the cups force my very centrally-located breasts down at the top and pushes the tissue out to the sides (armpit boob). Not very pretty.

The material is very beautiful though! If I had enough patience and sewing skills, I would alter it to make it fit (more open on top and less depth), but alas...

I like this bra, it's very pretty and very comfortable. There is just the teensiest bit of wrinkling at the top of the cups, they are maybe 1/8 of a size too big for me, and I had to start wearing it on the tightest hook (even then it was not exactly a snug fit) so I would say the band size might be off by an entire size. I have it in black with bluish-grayish flowers... it doesn't really look that nice to me in the lighter colors without the contrast.

Very comfortable and well finished bra. Cups in gorgeous Caramel shade enlightened by small light pink and brownish pattern , which doesn not show under clothes. Same pattern but ticket fabric for bands. Nice shape and overall a food fitting. True to size - i have a problem with cups but it' s my wrong - should have picked a E instead!
