I was sent the wrong size in this bra. I had ordered 28E and I think it would fit well in that size except for the band being a little too loose. It's closed on top, so good for those with short roots.

This bra is TTS and fits exactly the way you would expect a CHP to fit. Aside from the wide set straps, it's a perfect bra for me. I recommend it for those of up who are narrow, projected, and close set. It would fit a range of fullness levels but is especially good for FOB, in my opinion. Also, it's just so cool looking. I wear a lot of grey and I like having a bra to match.

I have this bra with the reduced cups, straps moved in, and narrowed gore alterations. It fits great! My boobs are full on bottom and short rooted, and this model with the alterations works like a charm for me. The band is sooooo comfortable (though a smidge big for me, but I'm more of a technical 24 anyway) and the fabric is soft and high quality. I recommend this bra without reservations.

Oh, Betty.

Betty needed major work in order to be wearable. I can't stand wide, low gores, and that combined with Panache Super Duper Extra Strength Wires was a bad combination. The construction of the gore made it tricky to alter, but I managed it. I had to pick apart the seams at the top of the gore and along one of the wire channels, cut off some of the fabric of the gore itself, and then sew everything back up.

Now the usual stuff. Band is on the tight end of TTS and doesn't stretch much in the water. Halter straps are nice and long. Cups stretch so they ... would work for pretty much any breast fullness profile. FOB ladies could size down in the cups for a smoother shape if you want one, though I didn't do this and it still fits ok. Wires are really wide, though altering the gore helped this situation a little.

One weird thing I noticed is that I got lots of sand stuck in the bikini bottoms. Not between the layers of fabric, but stuck in the fibers of the outer fabric itself. It was a pain to try to get it out and there's still a bit left.

This is such an adorable set, omg. I purchased it from PetiteCollegiate who by the way was very helpful during the transaction. I highly recommend her as a seller. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Anyway, the bra isn't a 100% perfect fit, although it does fit rather surprisingly well. The fit issues that I do get are a result of its unusual construction. It has single-part cups with low, quarter-cup type coverage, so it's shallow at the underwire and I get a bit of quadboob at the top. This isn't a major issue, though, because this is quite obviously a boudoir piece that's only suitable for wearing at home anyway. It's lovely and comfortable, which is what matters for this type of thing.

Overall, I'm very happy with this set. It includes some super cute ruffled cheeky knickers and a ruffled harness as well. The pieces work well together with an aesthetic that's both soft and sexy.

I wear 55H in Comexim's padded HC/3HC and plunges, and following Joanna's advice I ordered the same size in Angel. This turned out to be the right size. It fits me well with no gapping or digging in. The cups are pretty tall, but they don't gap on me. The shape the bra gives is rounded and minimized. It's very beautiful and sheer, too.

I was worried this bra wouldn't fit me, since I sometimes fit 28DD and sometimes 28E in Curvy Kate and it's hard to tell which will be best. Fortunately, I chose right. This bra fits me well everywhere except at the center. The gore is wider than I'd like and the bra asks for more center fullness than I have, but I think both of these can be fixed by narrowing the gore. Also, the band is too big for me but that's sister sizing for you, what are you gonna do. It's less stretchy than some of CK's bands, though.

Overall, the CK redesign is working out well ... for me. This bra is narrow and projected. The cups on this bra are as narrow as, and actually deeper than, my Comexim 3HCs. So I don't get the cleavage that Polish bras give me, because the bra isn't pushing my tissue upwards, but the shape is just as good under a t-shirt or button-up.

I'm glad the bra fits, because it is adorable and comfortable and looks good on. I tried the Smoothie once and it was a disaster on me in every way, so this is definitely the better of CK's t-shirt bras in my opinion.

This is a good bra. The band is a bit loose for a 28 and the cups fit more like E than DD; I've heard that this is typical of Freya. I like the tartan pattern and the little buttons.

The styling of this bra is gorgeous. Unfortunately it doesn't work too well for full bust/small band, but such is life with non-custom bralettes. I think the XS would work best for someone who wears 28D/30C or smaller. Maybe you could get away with 28DD/30D. It's noticeably too small for me (I wear 26F, a sister size to 28E) in the boob-portion, despite the band being slightly loose.

Still, this is a beautiful offering from an ethical small business, I highly recommend it for the matrix-sized among us!

An absolutely beautiful bra. I bought it 2 sister sizes up because that was the closest size they had on zulily. Well, it runs ridiculously big in the cups! It's about 2 cup sizes too big for me, and the stretch lace is really designed for someone more full on top. I'm so disappointed that it didn't work out for me, I'm a musician and would have loved nothing more than to wear music notes all over my boobs. Oh well. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
