I really wanted this bra to fit me well, because it's so pretty! It seems to be a well-made bra, too. In spite of the fact that it doesn't fit me properly, I've been wearing it somewhat regularly for several months, and it's held up to wearing and washing very well. It still looks brand new.
On the other hand, the cups of this bra are way too shallow and wide for me (when I "scoop," I have quad-boob and empty space at the outer side of the cups; after a bit of wear, the cups gape at the center gore and I have overflow near the strap area). ... The band is also way, way too large and stretchy for me (which could also be contributing to the problem with the cups). I had to fasten it on the tightest hook from the first wear, and even then, I can stretch the band two fists worth away from my back.
I think it's a lovely bra, but (as with most of the Curvy Kates I've owned in sizes ranging from 28DD-F) the fit just isn't right for me.

I just received the blue and orange version of this bra and the colors and the embroidery look really beautiful, plus it's the first bra I've bought where the cup definitely fits me and the center gore sits flat against my sternum.
For me the only problem is that even though the underwires don't come up too high, the side of the cup does and it cuts a bit into my arm. The underwire might also be a bit too wide, but it doesn't bother me.Updated on Jul 20, 2011 Flag this

This bra has a fairly stretchy band and runs small in the cup. It's very pretty and I will definitely be buying more Curvy Kate bras, but I'll be sure to order up in the cup next time and down in the band. The only downside is that the lace is very bumpy; far too bumpy to wear with tees. The seams are pretty visible as well under even modestly fitted shirts.
