It's a beauty. It's the Mary Poppins of my bra-drobe - "Practically perfect in every way". Extremely comfortable. The very light padding on the cups lets it mold more closely to your natural contours, while creating a softly rounded & uplifted shape. The lace at the tops of the cups initially sat up and out a bit, but with time it's flattened nicely and conforms to the cup. It's a dream for my sensitive, FOT boobs. Cups are a bit too separated for me, though not nearly as bad as other Curvy Kate models I tried in 2015 (when I bought this bra) (I understand the now discontinued Flirtelle was an offshoot of CK) (I wonder - if I took in the gore, gathering me boobs closer to each other, would it make the tops of the cups a bit more closed?)

Too bad the band really stretches out from a loose 30-32 to a closer to a 32 + within a week or so. I bought this in a 30HH & 30 J and both bands did this. So I would say this fits more like a UK 32HH.

For me, I would need a 28K - one band size down, one cup size up, to correct the band and to stop spilling over & out of the tops of the cups all day. Alas. So close, yet so far.

Still, it gives a beautiful, rounded shape with plenty of *comfortable* support WITHOUT miserable wires and painful straps and pokey gores. If your boobs are FOT, this bra is a dream. The only other bra I've had that fit this perfectly was Freya 30H - Freya » Marvel Side Panel Bra (1501) from way back in the day. I plan to eventually list this when I fit something my size that's comfortable.

If anyone has an old 30JJ or 28K (if they made those) Ellie Padded Bra (FL6411) or knows of a bra that fits like this one, please do share! The Bratabase comparison tool gave me a couple of Curvy Kates padded balconettes & 1 Ewa Michalak Pl, so those are my next tries.

• Great find! It's not easy to find a padded bra that works for fot boobs. Usually only half cups work but they stop at H. I had Flirtelle Rose, Kimberly and 32K - Flirtelle » Isabelle Padded Bra (FL4921) back in the day. While Rose and Kimberly gave upside 7 CK padded bra shape and were a bad fit, Isabelle was kinda decent. I regret not having it anymore.

• Thank you! Looking at your review it appears we both arrived at the same conclusion: Comfy, cleavage bra that helps to shape with light padding. it really *is* light, isn't it? When I looked up the "similar bras" on the page for this one I actually had a lot of half cups listed. It def gives a semi-half cup vibe. Loved your description of "boobs on clouds"! #relatable
