i think this bra would be great if it was my size. perfect nude color, looks good under t shirts. not too padded. hasn't stretched out at all in the year i've had it.

Firstly, the band runs tighter than normal, so obviously go up a band and down a cup size. When I purchased this bra three weeks ago, it was snug, but not painfully so, and my breasts settled in fine. I've worn it a total of 4 times and washed it after the second wearing; washed in a front loader machine and laid out flat to dry.
It's now painfully tight. The length of the band is actually the longest of my bras, but it's the tightest which makes absolutely no sense to me. In addition, I've now got overflow in the front of the cups, and the armpit 'rolls' I've got are forcing the tops of the cup in front of my armpit to roll inwards, and the elastic and the fabric on the wings have warped. It appears the fabric has stretched, but the elastic has not.
On the plus side, the sides are high enough that it prevents a muffin top from forming on the band on the sides and back. But that's about it.

When I first purchased the bra, the band fit was good, but since then has become loose. In addition I have serious breast tissue migration with over spillage on the band on the sides and back and I get the quad boob when I scoop and swoop. When I move my arms, I no longer get quad boob but instead I get armpit boob. In addition my other issue is that I have a short torso, so the cup is too tall, I realize I need to find and wear bras with shorter cups to reduce issues with the cup causing quad boob when I move my arms.
The one thing I did notice is that the hidden elastic on the bottom of the band has warped, in essence, it does not lie flat and wants to curl into a tube.

Beautiful bra! I love the way it looks
It runs small in the band, so I would recommend going up 1 or 2 band sizes. The 30 works well for me because my ribcage is about 25 inches.
I wish that the underwires at the center didn't go up as high, because it digs into my breast tissue there and it hurts quite a lot, pressing into my sternum and leaving red marks.
Not a bra I would wear everyday because it cuts into the top of my breasts slightly, making it look bad under shirts that are not low cut.
Overall, I really like this bra and would wear it for special occasions but the underwires make it too uncomfortable to wear as an everyday bra.

I really like this bra, and although I wish they had 28s, I like it a lot. It's strapless so it's made to fit a little tighter than their normal 30s so that may be why it fits well. It's actually my most comfortable bra so far, it's a little more full coverage and the inside is all finished nicely.

This is a really pretty bra with delicate straps and lace band. I like the pattern. The band is very stretchy. I usually can't wear 34D bras, but this demi-cup is big enough for me and the band tightens snugly enough not to gape. (My size tends to fluctuate somewhat on a monthly basis so I keep bras a little larger and smaller, snugger and looser for comfort's sake!) All in all I find it very comfortable, relaxed in fit and cute, but not a very supportive type of bra.

I own 5 of these bras in 30D, 2 which has lasted over the course of 2 years, 3 are new.
They feel tighter than most 30's, which is good because my ribcage measures only about 25 inches, but not so tight that a 30 wouldn't be able to fit in it. I have also altered the bands to fit tighter as they stretched out over the course of about a year.
I really like that the cups are seamless and there is a little padding on the bottom to make a nice shape overall, but not enough to add much size.
Maybe it is because my ribcage is smaller than the intended sizing of this bra, but it does not give as much support as my Freya Deco bra, but I prefer this shape more.

My joy of having found a nude bra for white shirts has not lasted long. XD Now I only have a small few white shirts and come to find out the one I took the pictures with is the only white shirt of mine where it doesn't show. I should've known though since it quite apparent in the pics this is still not a true nude for my skin tone. It is still wearable and yes this is supposed to create cleavage and oomph. However, it now goes beyond cleavage and oomph to quad boob that shows through shirts.
It still serves a purpose though and I don't regret buying it. I have other shirts that can make use of the uber oomph it gives my boobs and now I don't have to worry about getting black dye transfer on it! woohoo!

The other strapless that I now quad boob out of. I got this one first before getting the Deco strapless. Both are great bras but I prefer the Deco because like most Calvin Kein bras I have it seems to minimise my bust. They both have their place and since I really don't need a strapless that often I will keep this one around too. If it comes down to it and I grow too big for either of these bras to be useful at all I won't buy another one of these, I'll buy another Deco strapless.

The cups on this bra run big for Calvin Klein anyways. The wires are wide, the cup is shallow and slightly stretchy. It gives a very rounded minimised shape. The band like all Calvin Klein runs small and fits more like a 28 back.
I've had this bra for over a year now. I'm on the middle hooks and still going strong. This bra fits great except for TOM when I have a bit of quad boob from it. I like this bra for being very comfortable and for being very forgiving in the cups with size changes. I don't care much for the minimised round profile it gives my boobs. However, this bra has its place and I will continue to wear it till it dies unless my boobs decide to grow another cup in a year in which case I will be too big for it no matter what.
Pictures are from when my boobs were about a cup smaller than they are now.

It's a cute and classy black bra! But the band is too big and the cups are too small (even though they gap up-top).

Very stretchy band. Cups run true to size, I think.

This bra is first of all gorgeous (I have the red and gray watercolor flower pattern). I initially tried on the 38DD that looked and felt too large in the band by far, also probably a bit large in the cups. Tried the 36DD and I felt that the band was great and the cups were large, even after scooping and swooping. The 38D feels great all day and looks fantastic. The cups seem like they might be a touch small but the band is perfect and I'd prefer the cups to be slightly snug than too large...
This was my first purchase after measuring myself and re-evaluating what size bra I needed to look for after years of wearing bras that were very much the wrong size.

The band is pretty tight, but the cups are waaaay too small. I like the cleavage it produces, and the fabric is smooth, soft and comfortable. I think it could be a nice everyday bra if I can get the cups to fit. I'm thinking that going up a cup size or two would work for me.

This bra is so incredibly soft, smooth, and comfortable, and it has the most lovely subtle details. it's feminine and pretty without having to be plastered with lace and bows. the french roast color is a very nice and unique neutral, a warm brown-toned gray.
the huge downside for me is the band. my 32 fits like at least a 34, and allows the cups to constantly ride up over my breasts (and even slip back down!) during a day's wear. what a disappointment.

The band on this is HUGE on me; especially right under the armpit. The cups are also too small, squishing my boobs together (creating some fantastic cleavage, though). Everything about this bra is a bad fit, but it's a nice soft fabric and looks really smooth under a shirt. Would love this in a size that actually fits me.

I think this bra is great except for that it isn't my actual size. I had to immediately wear it on the tightest hook and, if I get the underwire settled flat on my chest, my breasts spill out on top (aka "quad boob"--very noticeable if I'm wearing a thin shirt), so I need a band size down and possibly 2 cup sizes up--it would fit me in a 28E but I'm pretty sure they don't make that size. I just wear it with the straps a bit loose and it doesn't give me too much spillage then. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I love the material. ... This bra is very comfortable, as are most Calvin Kleins for me. The band is quite stretchy, which is a disadvantage in my opinion, but at least it means you aren't being poked and rubbed the wrong way. I don't really like the weird ruffling at the top of the cups, but that is only because my breasts are too large for this bra and the design becomes obvious through thinner shirts. It is very cute when you're not trying to hide it, though! The straps are an appropriate width (skinny!) and fully adjustable. Not a problem for tank top wearers.
The cups are padded at the bottom--not too much as to add a cup size, but the perfect amount if you want a little bit more mass on top or are simply used to push-up bras. The cups are seamless and smooth. Of course, they are thick enough to prevent nipple show-through.
Overall, a really cute, simple bra that I would love to own in my true size, or maybe even a 30DD just for more coverage. I would recommend this bra to fans of push-up bras and those who have close-together boobs. It creates nice cleavage and it cut wide enough on top to wear it with most low-cut tops while also preventing private areas from peeking out. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

The band is far too stretchy (which is a given since I'm a 28 around), the cups don't have all of my breasts. It's a boring bra, end of story.

This bra separates my breast nicely. The cup is too small for me and the band is too big (it rides up just slightly. It's comfortable for me to wear nonetheless.
