This bra almost worked for me, but not quite.

I bought it in aqua and really like the colour and the contrasting embroidery. It also gave a nice, natural rounded shape. The material feels nice on the skin and not itchy. I also like that it doesn't have the ribbon detail on the top edge of the cup like the Curvy Kate Angel because it allows the top edge to stretch a bit without cutting in.

The bra didn't really work for me mainly due to overall fit. I was easily able to fasten the bra on the tightest set of hooks, so if you generally wear 30s you might also want to try this in a 28. I also found the straps too wide which also caused the outer side edge of the cup (where it begins to go under the arm) to cut into my armpit. I don't think I'll try the 28G since I foresee the same problem. It's too bad since I was really hoping this would work.

I am a fan of the 30FF - Curvy Kate » Emily (CK5001) bra in general because it provides good support as well as good shape and it fits me well. However, I did learn that I generally have to go up a size in Curvy Kate because I find that I am spilling out of the cups of this bra a bit. In the right size this is a great bra, but be aware that the lace and stitching detail means it cannot be worn under all clothing.

The wire were too wide for me. I'm still trying to figure this whole bra size thing out, but I'm sure that the size was correct, just the make of this bra was not. Too bad because it's so pretty. If you have average to wide roots, this is your girl!

Very nice bra, but too big for me.

Once I adjust the straps to shorten them somewhat, the cups fit really well- no gapping at the top.
The wires sometimes get uncomfortable against the outer edges by the end of the day - but bending them to curve around my ribs more has helped. The only thing I dislike is that where the cups and straps come together it rubs against my armpit crease and sometimes gets a little red. I don't know if this is a fit issue, since it fits well everywhere else.
The band has stretched somewhat, at first I found it unbearably tight but once I got used to a properly fitting band it's no big deal, and I prefer it now.

This, along with the Freya Lila, was one of the first UK sized bras I bought. I got lucky with the fit of this one.

This was once my favourite bra. It gives me nice lifted and separated boobs and I mostly forget I'm wearing it. The top of the cup is a bit stretchy so it accommodates the fact that my boobs are not always the same size (I'm breastfeeding once daily). I think it's prettier in person that in the stock photos. The only tricky part for me is the straps. They are very wide set and it can be hard to get them arranged so they don't irritate my armpits. On the other hand when they are right they do a fantastic job of shaping there too.

ETA: A combination of final weaning and tissue migration means this doesn't fit my current measurements.
