November 2015: I am so mad, I completely forgot to take a front or back view photo!! XD Anyway, this bra did NOT go as expected. There are hardly any bras in the database to reference from, and the interpolated measurements told me that it would fit the same as the Ritzy, but once again, CURVY KATE HAS NO SIZING QUALITY CONTROL!! I AM SO PISSED I HAVE TO PAY RETURN SHIPPING FOR A MISTAKE THAT'S NOT MY FAULT!!!! T_T *cried in anguish* (Curvy Kate Bra History: 30DD Tempt Me was too deep when I first got it, while the 30DD Entice was entirely too small, probably about a 2 cups difference between the two OF THE SAME SIZE. The 28F Smoothie shape is a joke, way larger than any Cleo 28F, while the 28F Ritzy fits me perfectly. And NOW the Soda Pop 28F is too small. Where is the consistency?!)
This bra is about three quarters of an inch less deep than the Ritzy in 28F, and the brand new, unstretched wire width is not even 5"!!! It's just shy at about 4 7/8". So basically, this is about one and a half cup sizes too small. Brastop is out of 28FF bras, so I'm going to hope that I can reserve a 28G before it runs out. If it ends up being the size of an elephant, I think I'm going to scream and break things and cry all at once, haha.
As you can see in my photos, currently, my breasts are a mess. The wire sits on my tissue on the side, the cups are super short on the side, allowing for my tissue that is squeezed in the front to be squeezed back into my armpits under the wires even more. And yep... quadboob for days. The only thing great is the band, which is nice and firm and a true 28. If your ribcage is 29" around, definitely size up to a 30 because my band barely stretched to 29.5".
Also, the color is terrible. You know how in the picture it's a beautiful bubbly girly pink? WELL THAT'S WRONG. It's fuchsia overlayed with the brightest most garish neon hot pink you will ever see. In my yellow lighting at home, it almost looked orange! The photos actually tone down the color, but you can still see that the cups are darker (cup lining is fucshia, while the mesh is hot pink.)
I'm just so glad that the panties are nice and comfy (size 12), and the garter belt is sexy (also size 12). I probably could have sized down in the belt since I'm a 10 in my waist, but I can use the tightest hook.
So boo hoo on the color and bra size. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
