Didn't fit
I really wanted this bra to fit me well, because it's so pretty! It seems to be a well-made bra, too. In spite of the fact that it doesn't fit me properly, I've been wearing it somewhat regularly for several months, and it's held up to wearing and washing very well. It still looks brand new.
On the other hand, the cups of this bra are way too shallow and wide for me (when I "scoop," I have quad-boob and empty space at the outer side of the cups; after a bit of wear, the cups gape at the center gore and I have overflow near the strap area). The band is also way, way too large and stretchy for me (which could also be contributing to the problem with the cups). I had to fasten it on the tightest hook from the first wear, and even then, I can stretch the band two fists worth away from my back.
I think it's a lovely bra, but (as with most of the Curvy Kates I've owned in sizes ranging from 28DD-F) the fit just isn't right for me.
