Curvy Kate Smoothie vs. Starlet: Close enough to order blind?
I recently tried the Curvy Kate Starlet Moulded Bra (CK2501) and it fits the best I've had for a T-shirt bra. My usual 30G was way too tight in the band, so I sized up to 32FF which works, although a 32FF and a half would be my best cup size since it's a tad shallow. 32G would likely gape a lot and be too high up on the cup sides/armpit area.
I ran a comparison here and it says that Curvy Kate Smoothie Moulded Bra (CK2401) is the same cut as Starlet. But I've read hardly any good things about Smoothie in my size range and comparisons here are limited due to lack of measurements.
I will be ordering a Starlet to pick up at my holiday destination in a month's time. There is only one in my size, but I can throw a Smoothie in too. I'm not sure if they run the same and I should get the same size in both, or opt for my usual 30G in Smoothie. Once I order them, I'm kind of stuck with them for vacation.
My only slight fit issue with Starlet is that the cups are a little high at the sides. So if that is worse with Smoothie I'd better not, but this is not something easily measured abstractly using inches or cm. I'm short and high-set, so a wider wire can have less discomfort than a taller one, etc. I'm pendulous with soft tissue.
Does anyone have both of these bras and can share their fit experiences between them?
