UPDATE: I know a lot of people consider the Deco to be very stretchy, but to me, it feels very firm. I've only washed it twice, and it hasn't loosened up much at all. For me, the level of stretchiness that Curvy Kate's Showgirl bras have (ie, Thrill Me, Fleurty) is perfect when I'm wearing my correct band size. I feel supported but not choked. In my proper band size for the Deco, I feel very constricted. Maybe it's because the cups are too small (My bras that fit are 30H/30HH) and my breasts are pushing against the band?

BAND: The band of the bra is too tight- so much that when I sing, I have to unfasten the hooks so I can breathe deeply enough! The fabric of the band is very firm and supportive, but unfortunately does not stretch much. There are only two rows of hooks- three would have been better.

Although my underbust measurement is 30, probably a 32 would have been perfect. Unfortunately, all of the 32s that were available at the time would have been too small in the cup. I am thinking about getting a band extender so I can still use the bra. I have washed it once, and it didn't stretch much at all.

CUPS: This bra gives a nice, rounded shape. The cups are front and center, which is great for breasts like mine that don't have a wide root. Gives nice cleavage, but probably because the cups are just a hair too small for me (I probably need one cup size larger. The bottom of the cups sort of wrinkle/fold down under the weight of my breasts, indicating that the cup size is too small. The cups are one piece/molded and smooth- the fabric is comfortable on my sensitive skin and seems sturdy/well-made.

WIRES: The wires are not too wide, and they don't go up so far that they cut into my armpits. However since the bra is too small, I'm pretty sure there's some breast tissue escaping.

STRAPS: The straps adjust from the back. They are thick and well made, without being too wide. I was happy that they are not too far apart, so I don't have any problems with them slipping down my shoulders. No complaints here!

Overall, I like this bra, even though it's too small. If I could find it in a 32GG or H, I would repurchase it in a heartbeat!

This bra is not owned any more
