I'm not sure about this one yet. I almost fill it out, so close. I've just recently started wearing bras that are my proper size so I think once all the breast tissue is where it belongs (in my breasts not in random areas like my arm pits) it'll stop digging into my arm pits & will be totally filled out. I think, so we are going to wait a bit and see.

It seems to be very nicely constructed and the cups are pretty soft. I really like to colors too! The white and nude option will be able to go nicely under all of my clothes!

I also like the band too, it does fit more loosely than some of my others, but not so bad that it's unwearable. I measure 37 inches under bust and this 36 feels like a 38 which is totally fine with me, unless I lose weight, which is possible!

This bra runs very shallow in the cup and very loose in the band. This size was two cup sizes smaller than I normally wear anyway, but I would need to go down a band or two and up four cups or more to make this bra work. Unfortunately this is the largest cup volume possible (Curvy Kate staggers the available sizes in this model: 30J, 32HH, 34H, 36GG).

The wire height and width weren't bad and would be even better in the proper size.

This bra is padded and not sheer as it is made to look in the marketing photos. The cup is made of a sturdy ... nude material with two vertical seams. White ribbon details the seams while a white mesh lace covers the rest of the cup and white crochet lace trims the cups at top and bottom.

If you require lower volume in your bras, avoid this one. If you have a shallow breast shape then this is a great one. Even though it didn't fit, the materials were very comfortable to wear and the bra construction is good.

This bra runs very shallow in the cups and very loose in the band. It would work best for women who have quite a shallow shape, but failing that you really can't have any lower fullness to your breasts for this bra to work well. I ordered it a couple of cup sizes smaller than my actual size on accident, but it turns out to be the largest cup size available for this particular bra anyway. I would need to size up at least two more sizes on top of my true size to get a wearable fit in this model, and even more cup sizes if I went down the necessary number of bands.

It's quite a pretty bra (though I prefer the white version), and I'm somewhat disappointed it doesn't come in my size. The wire width, despite being too small, wasn't all that bad and the wires didn't come up too high.

Wires way too narrow for me, and wing not tall enough. Also didn't like the extra triangle of fabric where the straps meet the cups.

This is another bra for more shallow boobs.

The wires feel almost too narrow for me, although really I think they're just on the edge of being too narrow. They're stiffer than some of the other Curvy Kate bras I've tried, which is nice.

The real issue with this bra is the lack of depth in the cup, It is way too shallow for me -- I can't fill out the bottom, and quad boob out the top. Also, the apex is in the wrong spot so I somehow get an east-west look. It's beautifully round from the side (save the quad boob) but from the front and under ... clothes it's terrible.

I ordered up a size from my usual cup size and down to a 32 since I knew it was a stretchy band, and the cup was STILL a cup size too small. So I'd say this runs at least 2 cup sizes too small.

It's not as open of a cup as some of the other Showgirl bras (like the Fleurty or Thrill Me), as it does curve in some at the top. I think this would be a good option for people who get a bit too much gapping at the top of those bras, if they can get their size right. I think the shape would be good for me if it were a deeper cup as from the side it's not absolutely terrible. But I'm not sure if I could ever really get it to fit me.

This bra runs really small in the cups. I definitely ordered the wrong size as I am a 30HH in most bras. I would need a 30J in this, and even that might be too small. This bra seems more like a 30FF. I would recommend ordering up a cup or two from your usual size.

Since this is a showgirl bra, I figured that I would order it in my usual showgirl size, 28GG. Apparently, however, this one actually fits even smaller in the cups than the other showgirl bras that I've tried, which is kind of amazing. For reference, the Tease Me fits me in a 28GG as does the Fleurty, which used to work in a 28G. Anyway, point being, size up about two cup sizes for this one.

As far as appearance is concerned, I mostly like this bra. I think the stripes are nice looking, though they do give a fanshell look every now and then if you catch ... them at the wrong (right?) angle. The odd part is the way the cups force your breasts out to the sides. If I weren't already fairly wide-set, that might be more than a bit uncomfortable. As is, I don't really mind it and it doesn't give me an unflattering shape, so I will try to get my hands on a 28H and see how that fits.

The detailing on the cups was unraveling in one spot when my bra arrived in the mail, so that was less than impressive. I don't know how well this bra will hold up over time.

I really love the appearance of this bra, it seems very luxurious, however it seems to run small in the cup by about a cup size, which made it unwearable for me. It creates a bulging at the top of the cup. Underwires were narrow but fit well, didn't rise too high or rub in the armpit region. Overall very comfortable and good quality, just the wrong size for me.

I love the look of this bra but the 28FF is unfortunately too small for me - think I'll need a 28G or 28GG. But even with too small cups the bra is very comfy. The cups are padded and it's actually padded not lined. The straps are connected with a triangular piece of fabric that seems to give more lift and are fully adjustable. The decoration of the bra is not very noticeable under a tight shirt. The band is comfortable and has three hooks.

BAND: My underbust measures 30 inches. I don't like super tight bands, so I went for a 32, but I can fasten this bra on the tightest hooks and it is still a bit looser than I'd prefer. Partially this is because the fabric is very stretchy. The band seems to run a bit big/loose.

There are three rows of hooks, which is great and supportive. The fabric of the band is so stretchy though, and the material seems to want to slide around, so I do have to readjust once in a while and re-swoop and scoop.

CUPS: The cups ... are constructed with three seams. I have very sensitive skin, so although the fabric is pretty soft and comfortable, the seams irritate my skin a little.

At first I thought the cups were too big, but after swooping and scooping, I had no problem filling them. Since my breasts are full on the bottom (as opposed to full on the top), I didn't get the push-up/cleavage effect that some others do while wearing this bra, but it does lift and separate well. The depth of the cups is fine for me, and it gives a nice shape both from the front and from the side.

The problem is that the wires are too wide. I prefer a more front and center shape, and this is a bit east/west for me.

WIRES: The wires on this bra are about an inch too wide for me. As mentioned before, initially I thought that the cup size was too large, but really, I just need a narrower shape. The wires are also very high, and as a petite woman (5'2"), when I'm wearing the bra high enough on my torso, they end up cutting into my armpits.

Overall, this is a beautiful bra and it seems to be well-constructed. It just runs a bit big in the band and wide/high in the wires for me. Still, compared to the 36DD's that I was wearing before, it is closer to a true fit for me. The search continues!
