Curvy Kate gives me an odd fit. In almost all styles. (sigh). The top of the cup doesn't accomodate for my full on top shape. This flattened me out, and was just too east-west for me. eh. I'm tired of trying ANY of CK bras in hopes one might fit....

I purchased both the 30G and 32FF Berry Bardot. Strangely, the 30G had a slightly wider cup and narrower gore than the 32FF. These little changes in dimension created a much more comfortable fit for me in the 30G. Nevertheless, the gore in both bras is too wide. Here is a more thorough review of Bardot: http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dif3t/

Note: there appears some dimensional variation between the berry and black/purple models which were released in different years.

This bra works well for fairly narrow and projected breasts, with very short roots.

I bought this bra along with the Arizona after having people recommend this to me for a long time because of my projection and short roots. I was reluctant because I had pretty much sworn off CK after the last time I tried anything from them (which was a Jewel and an Smoothie), and I have to say if I had ordered this alone my faith in them would not be as restored as it is with receiving it along with the wonderful Arizona.

While I still think their unpadded bras need work, this is a VAST improvement from the 30G - Curvy Kate » Jewel ... Balcony Bra (CK3401) , which fit me so strangely I was ready to give up on CK. The Bardot has vastly improved in shape and gives me a much nicer projected, slightly rounded but natural shape with a bit of a peak. The reason I say I still think it needs to be improved is because it still gives me odd wrinkles. If you look at my last pic--I was pointing to the diagonal crease in the top section of one cup, then when I saw the pic I couldn't believe what a wrinkled mess the other side was! I also feel it lacks a bit of immediate projection, causing that odd ridge at the bottom, which is especially unattractive in a sheer cup.

It is certainly closed on top--I would probably not recommend this to anyone FOT (unless they're very short rooted like me) or with tall roots.

Luckily, I can still wear it with loose clothing and therefore those wrinkles won't show, but it is sad that this means this bra fails as a boudoir bra for me, since it is so damn pretty. The cradle is made of a silky material which is really nice.

Overall, I think Curvy Kate is really making strides to improve their construction, which I really appreciate. I'm not sure if I would buy another one of their unpadded bras unless they continue to make improvements, but this order overall has brought me back to them as a customer.
