I have a very full chest and need a lot of coverage from a bra. The band on this is a nice tight 34". The sides went up pretty high under the armpit. The center gore did tact even though the cups were very large. I thought that since I went up a few inches (from 40 to 42) in my bust that I could fit a G. I was wrong and swimming in these cups. I am definitely still a 34FF.

This bra is HUGE! I wear a 30F and this was borderline too big for me. The band is so stretchy, I could pull it out to 89cm from 65cm. I can see this being stretched out before its time. Otherwise, very comfortable. Once I adjusted the straps, nice shape, not great, but decent.

Thought this ran big. I vary in size in Parfait bras, but this was too big in the cup on me. It's okay otherwise.

I was hoping that this could be a simple, t-shirt bra - something basic and comfy that I could wear to work… that isn't quite as "intense" as my Decos lol. It is definitely a well made and really beautiful bra - the navy blue is gorgeous! - but it just does not fit me. The cups have a very "East-West" direction and the wire comes up much too high for me under my arm pits. I also get a lot of quad boob due to the very wide set style of the cups. The straps are also a bit too wide for me - though that happens with most of my bras since I have very narrow shoulders. Unfortunately I will keep searching for the perfect t-shirt bra!

I really like this bra; I like the snugness from the band and the wire width, as well as the look. It just seems like there's too much coverage and since it has molded cups, either I scoop and the bottom wrinkles or I adjust and the top is semi empty.
If it was a molded demi, it'd be great.

This is a great bra, very sturdy and well constructed. When this bra fit correctly, my under bust/ribcage measurement was 28.5" and my over bust was 38". The band was perfect, not too loose and not too tight and had great support!

Too shallow at the bottom and wide for me at the gore, though I do like the construction and color. The band is a decent if stretchy 30. Would work far better for someone who is shallow with a short root. The bra seems fairly well made, and the detailing between the cups is pretty. The straps are too wide for my narrow shoulders.

Overall a nice bra, but definitely not for me. I end up squished flat in the front, the cups bulging out, and my breasts retreating into the center and out of the cup. I'm guessing the issue for me is a combination of too small size and wrong shape. Otherwise, it's a simple but pretty bra with good construction. Maybe someone who is shallow would fit in this bra better than I.

Very top spilly, can't fill the bottom. Sad.

Other one is too small as well, but I filled out the bottom okay. I'm really bummed about the Arabella, I love the look of it.
To small in cup... But nice tight band

Ah, I'm glad you got them. So sorry this didn't work out. I had issues with falling out of that one too, and I think it was actually too small for me though I couldn't fill out the bottom either... I've decided this brand runs too shallow for me. I hope the other one worked out better.
