I am close set, full on bottom and have outer fullness. I have been noticing some quading in my 30F bras including my 30F - Curvy Kate » Atomic Plunge Bra (CK4811) so I tried a size up. Curvy Kate changes more then cup size between F and FF. The band and straps are thicker and it has 3 hooks. The cups are significantly taller and wider then the previous size. The wire also is more painful then I remember my new 30F being. When I compare the wires they seem to bend the same when the same force is applied, so I think they hurt more because they are ill fitting. My bigger breast is able to fill out the bottom of the cup but the top is a wrinkled mess. Like all the plunges I have tried the cups are too closed off and my tall roots get in the way so the wrinkling looks even worse. The cups are too tall and the strap cuts in my armpits uncomfortably. The wires are too wide especially for my smaller breast. My ideal size for this bra would be between a 30F and 30FF.I need shorter and more open cups. I love the color, deep violet with black accents.

Plum colorway

This bra is not owned any more

  It's a shame this doesn't fit you, because that bra is gorgeous. What a perfect sheer bra look!

  Ugh this is exactly how this bra and the Cascade “fit” me too only in the 30E and even in that size the gore dug in despite it being short. I have short roots too, and I’ve given up on CKs plunges unfortunately

  I also have given up on CK plunges because I can't ever fill the top of the cup and it gives me a weird pointed look. I seem to always be stuck between two sizes. Thanks for the review. I was beginning to reconsider their plunges because there are some pretty ones, but you made me reconsider!

  Have you considered sewing the Gore together so that the wires are touching/overlapping? I think this could help make this bra work better for you.
  The wrinkling doesn't look all that bad to me and I think doing this to the Gore would position the cups better on your body. It would also bring the straps in some because they're obviously too wide as well. Try pining the Gore together, situating the bra on your body as if it was built that way and see if it helps at all.

  It's such a beautiful bra and color. It looks like you may need more immediate projection in a bra. I have close set breasts too and have gore issues with bras that are too shallow

  LeProfessor I thought about altering the gore but the cups being too tall and closed off made it seem like a loss cause, so I returned it.

  Brash5 and lcl0706 I wish their were more bra options out there. I need a gore less then 2 in, narrow and deep cups around 5.3 in and 10 in. CK plunges are the closest thing I have found. I wish I could wear balconette/halfcups but the gores are to tall and pokey.

  I wish their plunges were just a little bit more open on top cause I love the aesthetics of them! And they fit well other than the top of the cups and their oddly pokey gores, which I’d be willing to work with if the cups weren’t so closed.

• Did either of you ever try the Princess plunge? Or their new plunge, Lifestyle? Both of those are significantly more open on top than Cabaret, Dare, or Atomic, at least in the top of the size range.

  cupandahalf I haven't tried them yet. I have been looking for a non-pink Princess one at a decent price, since I heard that the princess plunge was the most open of the plunges. The price is not too bad on ebay I should just buy it. I'll put the lifestyle plunge on my list of bras to try. And it comes in nude!

  violetknight Lifestyle fit a lot like Princess plunge but more comfy. I think you'll like it!

• I want to try lifestyle but i was told Atomic was significantly more open on top than Cabaret was & I found zero difference between the two, at least in a 30E. But lifestyle is on my list.
