This bra is a 3-piece style, with 3 rows of 3 columns of hooks. The straps are fully adjustable.

I got the Gia in Seafoam from another bratabaser, as I keep deluding myself into thinking that I can get a good fit in Curvy Kate bras. This colourway is the new cut for larger cup sizes, and while better than styles I have tried in the past, it's still too wide for me and too shallow in the centre.

I love the colour of the bra, and also the detailing of a small ruffle near the clasps in fabric which matches the top section of the bra cup.

The material of ... the band is very stretchy! It actually sits flat on me, despite the fact that in an ideal world I'd wear a 26 band. However, it has no real purchase whatsoever, so it doesn't provide any support.

I've indicated that the straps don't adjust to be short enough, though to be honest that's hard to gauge as the side of the bra cups is too high under my arms. I have a lot of excess width at the side of the cups, and not enough space in the centre, so I quad out of the cups.

I'm not sure if the fabric for this particular bra was faulty or poor quality, but after minimal wear, the powermesh has puckered up, like a bra which has been used for a very long time.

Overall, I'd say that the new CK cuts have the same kind of shaping as the old ones, with a wire width which is comparable to Panache superbra.

This is my 3rd gia ; it doesn't mean that gia fits me well. Actually it does not. I'm FOT and the tall root shape, which is not good for wearing this beautiful bra. I don't like the pointy shape that gia gives me. I also didn't feel I got enough support from it. However, gia is too beutiful to give up. I managed to find out the way to wear this. The Alteration. I altered all my' gia's, a fob type balcony bra to a low cut bra (almost like a half cup bra, you can see if you see my pictures). I got some wrinkles ... because my sewing is not so good, but lifted and round shape as well just like i could get when I'm wearing Ritzy.

About the size, I wear cleo, Panache 34hh or J, sometimes 32jj would fit me. But in ck I need 34jj or k, sometimes 32k. Gia's cup is quite true to size (maybe slightly bigger than other ck bras), but the band is too tight, so that I need an extender to wear this.

Here I attempted to sister size the Curvy Kate-Gia Balcony Bra. The band is so small that even with an extender it is to tight for comfort. There is no support. The straps cut into my armpit. And with my full on top breasts there is unused fabric in the bottom/side of the cup.

I found when I wore a 30JJ in most bras, I needed a 30K in CK unpaddeds. I was surprised to find that now, when I'm around a 30K/KK, the 32K is too big in the cups. It seems to run bigger than other CK bras, so I'll be exchanging for a 30K and seeing how that fits. I found the shape to be quite good, but I can't quite fully judge it in this size. I like the material more than the other CK bras I've tried - it's the sort of laminate material, similar to Bravissimo Dotty Spot, rather than a scratchy mesh.The straps are wideset, wires are a bit wide, and I found it very tall under the arm, but the fit was better than expected. I'll have to try the 30K and report back.
