This bra is one of my most favorite styles to wear for it's comfort and lovely appearance. I simply adore the details - lace on contrast-colored cups, ribbons, gore drop gem, and curved (non-functional) seaming across each cup - as well as the slight push-up padding and overall moulding. The band is quite stretchy, however - even when brand new - and due to my extensive use of this bra, I'm already on the tightest column of hooks.

UPDATE:
This is still my most favorite bra style - the bra's label and care instructions have since disappeared with frequent wear - but I have since sized out of Curvy Couture's entire 34 and 32 band ranges by one and two cup sizes, respectively. I've done most anything I can think of to this bra, including underwire shape alterations, sewing the openly-gaping underwires together at the gore, and even sewing the straps so they're no longer adjustable. As the band was always too stretchy, I may sew some stitches or darts to counterbalance the stretch factor. Ultimately, though, I will soon have to bury this bra (and Curvy Couture as an option) for good.
