I'm not sure who decided to make a Pink Princess Plunge two seasons in a row, but I'm glad they did. I like this pink better, I feel like Elle Woods would have worn something like this.

Curvy Kate really needs to work on their quality. The elastic in this bra is too narrow and stretchy to take the force necessary to hold up large breasts. It rolls and digs into my fleshy body, requiring adjustments.

Cup is projected, narrow, and short-root friendly. Fans of Florence who want or need a lower gore will like this shape. I think this gore height is as good as it's gonna get for my cleavage. I don't think a lower gore would be supportive (even if it were manufactured) and this doesn't dig into the touching part unless I'm leaning one way or another. Asymmetry is noticeable, but not as obvious as with the Flamingo colorway.

Very sexy and beautiful bra. The eyelash lace doesn't lay flat, but rather flutters (see what I did there?) over the breast. This is the closest fit I've had and I want to keep this so bad, but the cup edge shows under shirts and it gives me a backache the second I put it on.

Comexim 3HC bras have all the immediate projection they are hyped to have. The wires actually stay in my IMF, I didn't think that was possible! The gore doesn't tack, it's too high. I think that's why the cup edge is gaping once my breasts settle. They bubble up and the ribbon ... cuts in after a fresh scoop and swoop and when I push the gore down. I don't think it's enough to need a bigger size. I think maybe it's just not projected enough at the top or gore.

I've got a weird issue with the straps. The left keeps falling off. The angle they are pulling at flattens my breasts as it comes up and it puckers up into this 3D triangular strap gap. I end up with trapezoid boobs.

The band is tapered. I found the top of the band loose under the arms and kept tightening it. I got it to the 3rd hook (there are 4 rows on this) before my back fat caused too much rolling on the bottom edge.

The neon pink is more orange-y in person than in stock photos. The ribbon is slack, like in other Princess models.

Smaller in the cup than the newer pink colorway. See my review of it here. http://bra.pe/XXTo/ My asymmetry is very obvious in this bra. Not a keeper.

First of all, I wish all bras were made with such strong fabric! I loved how firm the band fabric was.....except it runs small. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I could barely get it fastened. It doesn't come any bigger, so I'm sized out.

The cup is projected for a half cup, tall, open on top and has room for center fullness. I gape and would probably risk trying a size down if this came in a 40 band.

The straps are pretty skinny for a full bust bra. It's so gorgeous, I wish it fit.

EDIT: Forgot to add..the gore from top to bottom of underwire is 4.5"

One of of Panache's "little black swimsuit" styles. With it's waist-defining panel and mesh lining across the entire front of the suit body, it's clearly designed to flatter the stomach. It has copper metal hardware on the straps and a tiny metal "Panache" nameplate at the back. There's a cutout below the back band, those who don't like to expose flesh there may want to pass on this suit.

The neckline comes above the wire, adding modesty. The gore measurement above is to the top of the fabric. The gore measurement from band elastic to wire tip is 3.5".

The cup is forgivingly stretchy, unpadded, with a lining slightly smaller than the outer fabric to provide support. It's shallower at the outside and the bottom. The cup shape puts the breasts towards the center.

I did a few measurements across the suit while it was laying flat.
Waist: 14 3/8"
Hip: 16"

Not only was the cup too big for me, it's also the wrong shape for me. The band runs big.

It's super cute. There were tiny threads hanging out of the embroidered dots, but that didn't bother me. The squeaking did, however.

This babydoll is gorgeous and so figure-flattering. Anyone who is scared of getting a "pregnant look" from a regular babydoll will love this. The skirt is *almost* opaque enough to use as a regular nightgown (if one wanted to sleep in padded underwired bra), but not quite.

I sister-sized to 40FF due to availability, not knowing how tight the skirt was, and knowing that longlines feel tighter than a bra. Unfortunately, I lost weight while this was on it's way and the band won't hold the cups to my body.

I also ordered the regular bra in 38G. This feels a bit shallower near the wire, but I'm not ... sure if it's due to the longline style or the size difference. Either way, it still has great projection for a molded cup and a lot of center-fullness.

I really hope I find this in the right size.

Just a few extra measurements.

Skirt: 18" waist to hem. 23.5" underarm to hem
Center gore: 3.75" to bottom of underwire.

Matching thong in size 24 is 19.5" across at waist, 9.6" tall, measured laying flat. Fabric is very stretchy.

Cup is too big me. Pretty great otherwise. I will try a cup size down if I can find one in my price range.

I got this bra in a moment of desperation after losing weight. It's underwires were uncomfortable from the start and I am an underwire fan. The cup was slightly stretchy and molded to my shape well, so well that I didn't notice the fit issues. The seam and lace shows through shirts and the fabric is low quality. The "full coverage" makes it difficult to wear any neckline other than a tshirt. The lace on the straps peek out.

This bra arrived from Amazon with creased cups AFTER I had returned the first one that was unwearably crushed. The creases on this one pop out when I wear it. I decided to keep it because it was the last one available and it was super cheap.

My main complaint about this bra is the boning at the sides. It pokes badly after a couple hours. There is piping at the top of the cup edge that will hide under the elasticated top edge of strapless shirts, but plain fabric laying across it may show a line. The fabric is super soft and will snag easy. It's listed as ... Ivory, but is a bright, bridal white.

Like many Masquerade bras, this runs small in the cup. Instead of quadding, I mound way up in it, which is fine by me. The top part of the cup flattens my breast slightly instead of maintaining a smooth curve, not quite a true quadboob visually. It's shallow at the wires, which are narrow and not excessively tall. The band feels slightly snug for a 36, but that's probably because the cups are too small. The gore isn't visible under the outer fabric, but I can feel it's too high and wide for my very close-set brests. Despite all the technical fit issues, I like the way I look in it, and it's not terrible considering it's a strapless bra on narrow & projected set of breasts. It's OK for the rare occasions I need it.

TL;DR - Cup is narrow, shallow at the wires and runs small. Side wires are not super tall. Band *seems* TTS, boning digs. Gore is too tall and wide for very close set breasts. Cup edge may show under some shirts.
