This is the first Curvy Kate bra that's a "maybe". I read that the band ran large so I sister sized down from my usual 36G. The previous Curvy Kate's that I've tried were molded so any shape mismatch was evident. My breasts are narrow, projected, and FOB. I didn't have any gaping and the top or sides and while I didn't have any quadding I think if I went up a cup I'd get enough volume for the gore to lie flat.

The bra itself doesn't feel like great quality. The fabric felt pretty scratchy though I don't know how much would go away after a few washings. The gore felt a little wide for my close-set, splayed breasts and gave me a little east-west but this might be alleviated with a larger cup. It's pretty sheer and I feel like I would get a lot of nipple show through, particularly when it's cold. I do love that there are 3 hooks.
