I hate photoshop...
Am I alone in loathing the way they photoshop models into bras? They have to, because I've never ONCE tried on a bra that looked the same on me as it does on the model. If I'd have known that the darn thing was going to cover nearly as much of my torso as my t-shirt, I'd never have bought the darn thing, but they always look so nice on the model--plenty of decollete, boobs nicely supported (most of the time), plunges that actually plunge, and shoulder straps that don't look like they are about to saw your arm off. I would like that in real life. Take this one:
This is what I want *my* bra to look like--slightly plunging, straps centered on the shoulders, no armpit rubbing, they don't show a side view, but it seems like it has a good shape. Sadly, if I buy it, the center gore will stab me in the adam's apple, the straps will be a good 3" wider than my shoulders will withstand, and I'll have less decollete on display than a nun! Perhaps this model is 8 feet tall?
*NOTE:* I have not actually purchased this particular bra...but I want to, especially if it looks like that on me.

I think it's a mx of photoshop and those chicken cutlet things models stuff into bras. I've read articles that include quotes from Victoria's Secret models saying they'll have up to 3 pairs of those things stuffed into their inappropriately sized B cups at any point. Not that Curvy Kate is VS, but you get the point.
At least the models here that actually are from CK and not bare necessities show a better assessment.
(oh, and the Princess will, at the very least, have straps fighting to touch your elbow they are that widely apart. she seems to work for some, but def not me)
ginganinja I LOL'd at "straps fighting to touch your elbows"--I know that feeling all too well. But then again, those "center pull" straps on most people perch perfectly on the edges of my shoulders, so...
