I purchased this bra a few months ago after first trying out the ABTF calculator and randomly buying some bras in my size range. It came in the first crop of NWT/new to me bras in that size range. had begun activly losing weight so I realized this cup size may have been a little big, especially with my smaller breast on one side. The bra isn't an ideal fit but it gave me a starting point to figure out where to go next.

The Princess Balconys bras appearance was pretty and especially girly in pink lace. Most Curvy Kate bras are visually appealing to me and I wish this one fit better. The construction looked impressive when compared with my older cheap molded cup and push up bras, with horizontal seams sewn together. but I was happy to try more lightweight and better fitting bras.

The straps were too far apart for my narrow shoulders on my petite body sadly, but that may often be the case with balconette/balcony bras. I wish they were in a little more. The center gore is a little too high up and kind of pushed into my sternum a little. I have a lot of center fullness to compete with but this may be the style on my body. I was quite happy to try a 28 band, that fit so much better than my prior 34-38 bands. The cups would have fit my prior breast measurments a little better, that had fullnes distributed differently. The lace on the top would have been good for the upper fullness I once had as well. The cups may have been too shallow, as I have heard Curvy Kate bras are but the fit was off enough that I really am unsure. The wide wires felt odd, and when combigned with the gore it pushed my breasts down outward running towards my armpits somewhat east west looking. That is not the lifted look that I want to achieve. I think I am even fullness top and bottom when i first try to lean over to gauge it, but I think my narrow roots and projection cause me to be functionally FOB, with a lot of prominent center fullness. Certain times of the month I gain a bit more fullness on top, but not excessive. Plunge styles tend to work out better for me. Right now I fit about a size UK 30FF 28G in non padded bras, and this bra is probably one I should find a new home for.

This bra is pretty! Unfortunately its both a size and style mismatch but helped me gauge what to avoid and look for in some future bra attempts.

Pink Bardot Princess Balcony or Ellace Or maybe Portia? colorway
