This is an absolutely stunning bra. The fabric is much darker than the online photos; a sort of deep, muted teal. The trim is described as gold but is only a shade or two lighter than my (Anglo) skin. The band is pretty snug on me, but Curvy Kates have a habit of stretching quickly. Unfortunately, this bra has very wide wires, even for a wearer like me who has a lot of underarm tissue. It also has rather shallow, small-feeling cups. In the JJ, the wires are within tolerance and do not poke, though they rest about a half inch or so beyond the breast tissue. I would need at least a K to avoid overspill when properly scooped, however, possibly a KK. Once again, Curvy Kate seems best-suited for the very wide but quite shallow, without much top fullness.
This bra is not owned any more
