Second try with this bra. See my review of the 32K - Curvy Kate » Victory Balcony (9001) for more information about the bra.
The 32K was too big in cups and too tight in band. I sized up in band in this bra. Then I had to size down in cups. I sized down 2 cup sizes. It was not enough. I still have the gaping on top. I could get 34HH and look at how that will fit but honestly I don't care anymore. I don't think the bra will work for me in any size. It is also not a very high quality bra in my option. The shoulder straps are thin, stretchy and slip easily. The fabric is rather flimsy even in the lower cup and not very supportive.

The band fits well in this size. The band stretches to 85cm which is my comfy exhaled measurement. Apart from that I still have most of the same fit issues than I had in the 32K. Cups are too tall and roomy on top, I cannot fill them even though I have somewhat tall and full-on-top boobs. The straps are too seperated and the wires too wide on the side. The bra does not feel very supportive overall and I also have the same feeling of my boobs in the lower cup falling over the underwire. The gore does not tack fully at the V-part and gets pushed away. The underwire is not very supportive, the bra does not do much work with it's construction.

I only recommend this bra in this size range if you have a specific shape: lots of upper breast fullness combined with a very tall breast root and also somewhat wide boobs. I also think it would work if your boobs were somewhat shallow but I could be wrong. I only speak here about my size range 32-34 bands and J-K cups and I don't recommend it unless you have that specific boob shape.

This bra is not owned any more

  It’s crazy to me that you could size down this much in this bra. I wonder what size I should have actually tried in it? A 44G?

• That bra looks very sad, sorry it didn't fit. As a shallow on top person, these kinds of bras don't work for us either. The top edging will either cut in or flop around. Not sure what shape it was actually designed for.

  cupandahalf Yes it is so weird. I cannot imagine who this bra will fit in their usual size? So either they size down a lot or just wear the bra for pics and we know the bra can look decent with the arms up posing.

  Sovavosi I just tried to wrap my mind around what shape one would need to fit these cups. Also the 32K I had fitted more like a 30L and this 34J more like a 32K. I could size down even more in cups.

  I wonder if the bra is just weird in the upper cup range, but fits true to size in the mid-range and smaller cup range?

• IMO most bras seem to be a bit weird in the upper cup range... Could just be the scaling algorithm that they used on this one is really off.

  Maybe the bra works well in the mid-range, a 32H was added here that fitted, but there is no review or pictures.

  Maybe it does work in the other ranges, they keep making it, so something must be right with it for some ranges I guess :/ Sovavosi your right scaling does seem to be weird in the upper cup range...which is weird because, the more that I think about it... I don't think that range (not taking into account of back sizes) is that rare?

  I'm sorry that it didn't work out alisa ..this is one odd bra.. I saw it on sale online in a 30K so I was wondering if I should try it..but now I'm not so sure..

• *you're right... Sorry was typing on mobile and autocorrect is a pain

• Frazzleberry I wouldn't recommend it, only if you can find it at good price with free shipping and return. I mean it would be interesting to see how it fits you. since you prefer a 28 band. I found the band came up small so the 30K would probably fit rather like a 28KK or even 28L since the cups are also on the bigger side.

• Hmm, it could probably maybe work considering the 28Ks (only two though, ellace and daily dream) were too small.

  I hardly ever do returns though, because it can be a major hassle, plus additional costs from where I'm from..so I'll have to think long and hard about it.

• Frazzleberry It would be interesting, let me know if you decide to try it.

  I'm 32G/34FF and this bra fits me very well in the 34FF, so I'd guess it is wonky scaling. Narrow roots, projected, centre full shape.

  smoulderandbraids Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad to hear that the bra works for you :) It is like I thought, the scaling gets all over to place at the upper end of the cup sizes. You had to size up in the band too but don't even have to size down in cups. Did you find the cups tall compared to your other bras?
