The Angel is definitely a pretty bra in terms of pattern and design. I love the contrast of teal on black, and I adore the criss-cross ribbon on the band, my favourite detail of the whole bra. The band is one of the firmer amongst CK bras - it stretches to 30", making it quite a "true" 30. I had to size up to a 30K from my "usual" 30JJ in this, which I also have to do in other unpadded CKs such as the Princess.
In terms of shape, though, I really don't like it - I find it very east-west, and, though fairly supportive, it doesn't give ... a profile that I like. Though my breasts are lifted off my ribcage, they are not rounded - it almost gives my breasts a sort of upside down "7" shape. It seems like the bottom section of the cup is not large enough to really give a well-rounded shape. I can get a better shape by tightening the straps, but this results in quadboob, and as this is a 30K I can't exactly size up again. As well as this, I'm sure the wires would be too wide if I sized up again, as they are already slightly too large in a 30K. I'm very sad this doesn't work on me, as it's just so pretty. From what I've gathered, CK styles are best suited to GG and below.
