    32F

    Didn't fit

    Short, projected, slightly narrow, center full, close set, even breasts....

    I hypothesized black Florence ran small. So, I ordered a Blush Florence. Additionally, I hypothesized a 30" band distorted the wires. So, I order a Blush, 32F Florence... Well, the 30 band wires are not distorting, and the 32 band is too big. Now, I know. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

    Although I need a 32" band in Curvy Kate Plunges, the 30" band is significantly more supportive in the balcony styles. I adore wide straps and thick bands. The 30FF has both of these characteristics whereas the 32F does not. I find the wire digs into my ribs when I wear Curvy Kate 32" balconies. It also digs into my ribs when I wear 28" bands. The band has to be "just right." If the band is loose, the wire digs into my ribs directly under my breasts, too.

    Florence is still an amazing, lightweight bra for short-rooted breasts.

    40J

    Didn't fit

    I tried sizing up to get more depth as I'm currently quadding in my 38J. There just isn't enough room in the center and bottom so I get orange in a glass there. The top is also too big. I think my growth has been in the center and bottom of my breasts, meaning I now need a lot more depth in the bottom center and at the apex. CK Ellace and the plunges have a lot more room there so they fit much better.

    32H

    Fits

    I'm slightly FOB, pendulous with lots of immediate projection and centerfullness, narrow roots and soft tissue.

    This is the first bra from my search that I've kept. Though the wires are at the max of what I can comfortably tolerate, it does a good job of holding in all my breast tissue without extra space. I would prefer a bra with more Center pull as my upper breast tissue is so soft and it's not super supported. The profile it gives me is rounded, though not quite as lifted as I would prefer. I'm also experiencing some in-cup quadding as a result of the upper fabric not being as supportive as the lower fabric. (I tried a different size and color and did not experience this.)

    I have pretty sensitive skin and the bra isn't terrible comfortable at this point - I'm hoping the tag and seams will soften a bit with washing and wearing. The knot right behind the flower charm at the gore irritates my skin.

    32H

    Fits

    I bought this one because the 32GG was too small in the cup but ok in the band - and the 32H is ok in the cup but too small in the band... I'm not sending it back and wearing it with an extender for the time being.

    32G

    Didn't fit

    The 30GG provided better lift, but there was not enough band length to narrow and overlap the gore. The 32G should alter nicely and be a comfortable bra during our blazingly hot summers.

    This color is one of my favorites--deep, saturated aqua. Gorgeous!

    Wide straps, 3x3 fasterners, wide band: Curvy Kate knows what I like.

    Something in this bra pattern changes at 30GG/32G. Florence has excellent immediate projection in the 30FF/30G range. But, the 30GG and 32G feel more shallow than the smaller sizes. Also, the center projection is more shallow, too. Sadly, I can't recommend Florence in this size for immediately projected breasts. Perhaps I'll change my mind after narrowing and overlapping the gore..... Every time I try to wear a wired bra for a few minutes, the bruising, pain, heat, and swelling returns. Sigh. This is going back to the vendor.

    30H

    Didn't fit

    Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG

    Of the CK new narrower more projected styles, this one reminds me of Flirtelle. It has almost enough immediate projection, but the straps are set way too far apart. Plus, the cup too wide for me. As to the centre fullness - it doesn't cut or soft tack, but it does not quite sit right. The straps are almost not long enough.

    Made of super soft no-stretch mesh, lined in bottom part, embroidered on the top part. Back of band is stretch mesh. Three hooks, no side boning. It has a taller centre gore than the other styles. Straps are scalloped and fully adjustable. I got a greyish, greenish, sky (powder) blue with yellow ribbon.

    32GG

    The shape is great on me, however it is slightly too small in the cup - my smaller breast fits ok but not the larger one.

    34H

    Fits

    This is my favorite CK bra—it's adorable and very comfortable for every day wear.

    At some times of the month it is just a hair too tight at the top of my left cup, and I find that the cups are spaced further apart than most of my other bras, but it fits really well despite that.

    One problem I have consistently with CK bras is that they're very delicate/flimsy—I'm used to poorly fitting Wacoal bras that have fat bands and act as glorified sports bras, so I do get a bit of back pain from my own poor posture in these bras. If I work to improve that they are great!

    32HH

    Hasn't set fit

    This was a nice bra, but sadly I couldn't fill the top. The wires were not as rigid as the Panache and Cleos I have tried, and whilst I quite liked that, I'm not sure whether that's a good or bad thing for support. I definitely couldn't go down a cup as it's touch and go whether the bottom of the cup was big enough as it is, I'm just too soft at the top of my breasts for this bra.

    30FF

    Didn't fit

    I adore this color--reminds me of ballet shoes. Great for even breasts. Holds breasts closer to the chest than Dreamcatcher. Fit is similar to Ellace although Ellace can accommodate taller roots. Florence is very short root friendly.
