Well, I think that Curvy Kate is not for me. My shape is projected, evenly full between top and bottom. slightly center full, tallish average width roots with a splayed root shape. My breasts touch at the top, tissue is medium soft and I definitely need side support. This bra doesn't have that, and the cups are either too large or not matched to my shape.

I give CK props for doing plungey plunges, and the plum colorway is sophisticated and sexy. Getting the correct band size is important for this bra as the wires distort easily. The sides are typically low which is not an advantage for me but would be for a lot of people. The gore is low and the wires touch so good for those of us who are close set.

I got this for a pretty low price from Belle Lingerie on ebay. If Curvy Kate is more your speed than mine this one is worth checking out.

• Gorgeous color! I couldn't make this work either. Sigh.

• Love4Pollinators they're just not made for our shapes. Now I know not to drool over them any more. So at least I learned something!

• The silver lining ;-) ;-)

  I'm always [looking for the pony](http://quoteinvestigator.com/2013/12/13/pony-somewhere/), ya know.

• Giggle. Hope there is no odor ;-)

• This looks too large to me finallygotboobs . I would try a 34FF before giving up

• Looks too big to me, too, actually. But i had some really bad CK experiences too - supposedly they have improved some?

• dbmamaz they fit so differently across diff size ranges. But yes they used to be wide and shallow, esp. center shallow, and they've tried really hard to fix that.

  I don't think sizing down will help you. I think one of its benefits for me and detriments for you is the low sides, which won't be helped by sizing down. Great bra for the high set though!

• cupandahalf I could be wrong, but I thought she meant the low sides simply weren't something she needed--I didn't realize she meant the low sides were a problem. From the pictures I don't see any particular fit issues on the sides?

  cupandahalf wendybien I have a lot of flesh in the armpit area so I actually prefer taller wings that hold it in. And I agree the cups are too large but due to lack of side support I don't think I'd like it even in a smaller size.

• Also the band is a little tight. I can see some wire distortion in the side view pic.

• ah ok that makes sense--if you want taller wings then this one is not for you. I think you could get a cosmetically "good" fit in a sister size but it would never be comfortable due to the construction.
