Was favorite since 2005, when measured for 32C @ Nodstrom (previously had been wearing 34B since 1997). I loved it so much I refused to wear anything else. I bought it repeatedly over the years, and just removed the tags on one in my stash. Unfortunately, I realized this isn't my size.
The main issues for me are: 1) band size too big, 2) due to big band size, underwires move too far forward, and poke into side tissue, 3) if swoop-and-scooping, some quad-boob occurs.
However, these are all *fit* issues, and I don't blame the bra. The fabric is comfortable - it is smooth, looks nice under clothing, ...and a classy, simple, basic bra. This was my staple for years.
EDIT: I ninja-bra-fitted my mom! She is a tiny lady, but was wearing terrible, ancient, thickly molded 34B strapless bras for years, and her boobs were basically hanging out at waist-level. I just handed this too her without telling her the size, and it fits her pretty darn well! I gave her my entire stash of Calvin Klein T-shirt bras https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":-D" /> Read more 78 more words
This bra band is tight for me but I like a lot of other aspects of it. The fabric is soft and smooth, and the lace bits are cute! The push-up isn't too crazy and provides just a little boost, which is fine by me. I think this could be a good t-shirt bra.
The band is so extremely tight. The cups are also a bit small. I find it slipping lower than it should be because of these two issue. Definitely regret purchasing it.
This was the third bra I've ever purchased. I thought it fit well at the time, but as time went on and it stretched out and my body changed, it seems to fit poorly. I'm not sure if it was due to my lack of knowledge at the time, poor posture, limited choices, or a mixture of all.
I measure out to about a 28-30 D/DD, but before I realized that I was wearing the wrong size I wore a 32C. The cups of this bra fit me perfectly. I have a narrow root, narrow cup, FOB. It has air push up pockets that keep the bra incredibly light that cover about 2/3 of the cup from the bottom, max depth of about 0.75". The straps are measly little things, way too thin. If only the band was like 5 inches shorter and the straps wider and shorter, it would be my ideal bra. As is, I have to add a hook to make it racerback because the straps don't adjust short enough, and everytime I raise my arms over my head, the bra slips up over the bottoms of my breasts.
I have the same bra in 65C which is a little too tight for me. The band runs very tight though and the cups are on the smaller side. It doesn't provide a lot of support, but it's just so beautiful! It feels a little bit like an unpadded bra.
I have this bra in this color and nude. Although the nude is the same size, it always seemed to fit slightly better. It's been a decent day-to-day bra. It is smooth under clothes and gives me a nice shape (although I prefer padded push ups, which this is not). Only recently did I learn that the band is too big and the cups are too small for me. Unfortunately, I have yet to find something that works for me in my new size and in the meantime, I usually wear these.
I cannot swoop and scoop with these or I immediately get major quad boob, with some ...lovely (not) gapping in the upper corners near the straps (especially if I bend over). My breasts are very soft and rather deflated, so they kind of just pour into the cup (which is very lightly padded and softly molded) and are shaped by it. If I arrange them just so, this bra is flattering.
Having had these bras for a while, the top edges of the cups are starting to turn upwards a bit. The band definitely has stretched out. Read more 82 more words
I've had this bra for a while and it is one of the ones that fit me well. I'm looking into different sizes though because all of my bras have bands that are too large. This bra is quite comfortable but it doesn't stay in place all of the time when wearing it strapless. Overall it is a good quality bra and the shape has held up very well.
If this bra fit me better I would have loved to use it as a sexy everyday bra. The fabric felt like it was a really nice quality - comfortable and felt nice on the skin. Lace was soft - not scratchy and had a decent amount of flex. However, the give of the lace resulted in my breasts not being very well supported. Would possibly be less of an issue for less full breasts?
I think a friend gave me this bra because it didn't fit her and I forgot I had it until recently when I was cleaning out my closet. There's nothing remarkable about this bra but the reason I end up wearing it occasionally is in the name- it's a very deep plunge so perfect for low cut v-necks and it's ~*naked~* a very thin bra that doesn't show under anything. Both those factors also mean it's a very boring bra that I sometimes pop out of and reveal more than I'd like (so not so perfectly fit) Not something I'd have bought myself but a decent addition to the tshirt bra pile I tend to abuse. (note it probably runs small both in cup and band because the 32 fits like a 30 and if I was FOT I'd probably be spilling out)
I altered the band to around 28 width and this fits beautifully. I can't wear it much, though, because it's SO sheer. Unless worn under a winter coat, this bra leaves nothing at all to the imagination. It's very pretty and quite sexy, but not functional.
I used to wear my beige 30C version of this bra all the time before my breast tissue migration. Because this style comes with a very short and tight band, I ordered it in a 32C (instead of my usual 30D) now, and the band seems to fit fine. It's a comfortable bra that can be worn as a halter neck or with the straps crossed in the back. The straps are a different colour (more of a khaki green) from the rest of the bra, and the hooks and eyelets are aqua-coloured like the rest of the bra and not lime green as with my beige 30C Convertible T-shirt Bra. Also, there is no Calvin Klein print on the inside of the cups (I don't miss that, though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />).
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.
This bra doesn't fit me, so my review is limited. (It's hard to see in the pictures, but the cups are too small, and so they feel binding (squishing) rather than supportive.)
It's a comfortable bra in general, especially because it is seamless and tag free. The material is nice and smooth, but can't say how it will hold up to wear. (My other CK bra is doing pretty well.) The 1/8" thick foam lining is very soft and flexible. The 3/8" wide straps feel a little too thin, and I prefer a wider back band as well. The band is surprisingly true ...to size; it is marked 32 and it measures 32" when stretched. I am thrilled that Calvin Klein does such a good job with their sizing, which is unusual for an American brand.
*** SIZE REMARKS *** I wouldn't normally order a 32 band, but I am currently pregnant and my ribcage has already expanded by an inch. This bra WILL NOT FIT a 27.5" ribcage, which is what my profile says.
