I received this bra from a fellow Bratabase user as a Give Away as my breasts seem to be morphing again (boobs pls staph). I've been on the hunt for my proper size once again without spending a fortune. I know that my breasts are on the narrow side (Comexim & EM being my go-to and best fitting/comfortable) and I know CK runs wide so I knew what I was getting myself into.

The band feels pretty TTS and it's somehow comfortable for the wires being almost at my back. The gore is also twisting itself but that happens with a good majority of my bras due to having closer set breasts. I absolutely hate the fact of how bra manufacturers must think that women are linebackers because these straps are WIDE. I had to tighten them as much as possible which then in turn makes the side of the cups dig into my under arms. Also, shallow...shallow...shallow, again iirc another trademark of CK.

I'm thinking about trying some alterations on this one to see what I can do at least for the straps and the underarm situation. It's fairly comfortable despite how this bra is a terrible match for my breast shape. This has served it's purpose of helping me try to navigate my way to a comfortable new band/cup size. It just makes me sad that almost every CK I try is beyond too wide for me because they always manage to make some of the most beautiful unlined styles and this one lives up to that.

• Hello, glad to see you recieved the bra. Have you tried any of CKs new cuts (Florence, Cascade, Bardot, Arizona..)? CK used to be too wide for me too and was always cutting into my armpits. The new cuts are narrower and work so well for me now. I'm a similar in size so feel free to check my reviews.

• I had no idea the new cuts weren't what we all know "traditional CK" to be like. This is so exciting! lol. Like I said, I love their designs so I will certainly be looking at your reviews. Thank you so much and I've been wearing the bra for a few hours now and I'm really really surprised that even the underarms aren't killing me. Cleo/Panache seems to want to saw my arms off.
