I really want this bra to fit but it just doesn't work with my breast shape - my boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection. The cups are too open at the top and I don't fill the bottom of the cup even though I have a lot of projection. Sizing up doesn't work.

I find similar styles in other brands don't work for me either e.g. Curvy Kate Thrill me & Tease Me. I tried going up by 2 cup sizes. Unfortunately these styles don't work with my breast shape https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />

I wore this early on in my pregnancy from 11 weeks. Even though I didn't need a larger bra band or cup size I had terrible nausea and sore boobs and sizing up and wearing this bra helped keep me comfortable. I read that nursing bras are more accomodating during prenancy as your band and cup size increase. The bra is pretty for a nursing bra, has 6 sets of hooks and gives a pretty good shape (my sister has a baby and said it gives a good shape for a nursing bra). I would buy this bra again.

This bra in the nude colourway is pretty and comfort wise feels similar to the Marcie with soft stretch lace at the top of the cup. I tried it in my Marcie size (32H) after comparing the Marcie & Envy cup depth etc. The Envy isn't quite as deep but close enough - it fits. It gives me a nice shape and seems to be slightly minimising without pushing my boobs into my armpits. This bra could become one of my favourites.

Update: I am still loving this bra for fit and comfort. I bought it in black in the same size but have found it is smaller (as is often the case with black bras). I am considering sizing up to a 32HH in black.

I don't usually fit Cuvy Kate bras - my boobs are usually the wrong shape for the range: My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.

I decided to give this a try and size up from my typical size of 32H to a 34H in this style (a 32 band in CK is usually too tight even though I often fit a 32 Panache band). To my suprise the band is loose - I can do it up on the tightest hooks so I need a 32 back. Although there is a little wrinkling in the cups it isn't enough to size down in the cup. So I think my ideal size would be 32HH assuming the other bands and cup sizes are consistent.

Update: I tried the 32HH & the fit is much better in the band and cup. Some wrinkling in the cup but I think a 32H would be too small.

I ordered this in the silver & white colourway in my sister size of 34GG because it looked so pretty. It fits but I can see why it isn't available in larger cup sizes as the support is pretty light due to all the stretch lace. Ideally I would want this in a 32H (my typical size) as the band is on the tightest hooks.

It hurts to part with a bra this pretty but I am not keeping it as given the lighter support I wouldn't wear it enough. I recommend it for smaller cup sizes or if you are willing to compromise on the support.

The cut of this bra works really well for me. It gives me a good rounded shape and I can forget I am wearing it. My boobs start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection.

Sadly I have had to retire this bra now due to wear & tear.

I bought this babydoll in a 32H in black (I usually size up in Panache bras to a 32HH). The bra top gives a very projected look. I don't get as much loose lace in the cup as I did with the raspberry colourway & this reduces as I wear it. The cup depth/projection is great for my breast shape & I find this babydoll extremely comfortable to wear (I can almost forget I am wearing it). This babydoll is much prettier than others on the market.

This is a pretty bra. Unfortunately I get slight quadding in one of the cups so it will be returned.

I have tried lots of sports bras over the years - Shock Absorber, Triumph, M&S and more recently Freya. I didn't get on with the Freya underwired sports bra and the Shock Absorber gave me monoboob. All sportsbras were a great disappointment until I tried this bra - wow! This bra gives great support and the padding over the underwires makes it extremely comfortable. It looks nice on. When I exercise (running, aerobics & zumba) the girls are kept in place. I can't shorten the straps enough to wear them bra style, have to use the J hook. Using the J hook means I can feel a pull and weight on my shoulders but it isn't enough to stop me from wearing this bra.

About my boobs: they start at my collarbone, I think they are average on the top, firm and bottom heavy with lots of projection. In most panache bras I usually wear 32HH or 34H but this bra is known to be on the larger side so the 32H fits.

This bra looks nice with the pinstripe pattern on the wings & the stripes in the cup - a great improvement in design compared to other strapless bras. I like the cup shape too which curves instead of cutting across the breast. The band is very small for a 32; I usually size down a band in strapless bras to a 30 but can't do it up. With this bra I will need to try a 34 band. I can't assess the cup fit yet until I find an extender.
