It (basically) fits!! Previously, the only Curvy Kate I tried that was closed on top enough and had enough immediate projection was the Portia, but that gave me a droopy shape. The Bardot babydoll gives a natural yet well-supported profile and is almost perfect for my narrow, projected, FOB shape. There's a tiny bit of extra space at the bottom and at the top lace, and the gore is a little too wide, but the overall fit was a very pleasant surprise. It reminds me in a good way of the Cleo Phoebe/Lucy.

The appearance is definitely adult — sheer black almost all over, decorated with elaborate purple lace. ... The silky opaque hem is a nice touch.

I measured the skirt to be 56.5cm/22.2in from the bottom of the gore.

Note: Unlike the Cleo Marcie babydoll, which can be put on just like a bra because the back of the skirt is divided, the Bardot has to be pulled over the head and shoulders. It is therefore not possible to measure the band by itself; the stretched band measurement was taken while I was wearing the babydoll.
