Perfect underneath everything! Firm band, smooth seams, rounded cup. I have five of these.

I really wanted to like this bra. It is a nice, neutral color, and I liked the small jewel hanging along the gore. However, I found this bra to cut into my breast tissue on the top, while also gapping at the apex. This bra has more apex projection than I need, and may work for very full on bottom breasts.

Nice colour, fits really well mostly (sometimes duringthe monthly changes it becomes slightly tight on my larger breast).

I like this bra! The colour is a bit weird though I think, idk?? I have the blue/lilac one.
But: good shape, comfortable, good support. not a t-shirt bra though, quite visible under tight clothing.This bra is not owned any more

The bra is super cute and extremely comfortable. It's not a 100% perfect fit, but better than the few others I have tried. The band is snug and supportive, but the soft material makes it great for wearing for long periods of time. The cups perhaps run slightly small. I still have a small bit of spill over, but it's manageable under clothes. The cups come up to just the right height for me.

I received this bra from a fellow Bratabase user as a Give Away as my breasts seem to be morphing again (boobs pls staph). I've been on the hunt for my proper size once again without spending a fortune. I know that my breasts are on the narrow side (Comexim & EM being my go-to and best fitting/comfortable) and I know CK runs wide so I knew what I was getting myself into.
The band feels pretty TTS and it's somehow comfortable for the wires being almost at my back. The gore is also twisting itself but that happens with a good majority of my bras due to ... having closer set breasts. I absolutely hate the fact of how bra manufacturers must think that women are linebackers because these straps are WIDE. I had to tighten them as much as possible which then in turn makes the side of the cups dig into my under arms. Also, shallow...shallow...shallow, again iirc another trademark of CK.
I'm thinking about trying some alterations on this one to see what I can do at least for the straps and the underarm situation. It's fairly comfortable despite how this bra is a terrible match for my breast shape. This has served it's purpose of helping me try to navigate my way to a comfortable new band/cup size. It just makes me sad that almost every CK I try is beyond too wide for me because they always manage to make some of the most beautiful unlined styles and this one lives up to that.

I had no idea the new cuts weren't what we all know "traditional CK" to be like. This is so exciting! lol. Like I said, I love their designs so I will certainly be looking at your reviews. Thank you so much and I've been wearing the bra for a few hours now and I'm really really surprised that even the underarms aren't killing me. Cleo/Panache seems to want to saw my arms off.

The cup just barely gaps at the top, but I also have quad-boob in this one. The gapping goes away if the straps are clipped together at the back to mimic a racerback, but the quad-boob becomes very evident. The straps are set too far apart for my narrow shoulders, but the band itself fits very comfortably, and if the underwires didn't come up so high at the gore it would be a pretty decent fit.

This bra is very comfortable but probably ill fitting for me. I have owned it now for about 6 months and wear it semi-regularly. The band seems to be too lose and rides up in the back, and the gore leans towards my larger breast. One of them is too large and creates a bit of quadboobs, the other is too lose, and creates a small gape.
The under wires are very comfortable, the color is gorgeous and I really like the lace and sparkly charm detailing in the center. One thing I do like is that the quadboob effect is someone lessened by the fact that the lace ... is forgivingly pointed outwards, away from the breast, which helps minimalize the look to me. If I had more even breasts, and judged it from the largest one, I would have gone up a cup size and down a band size perhaps, but as mine are uneven, this is the closest I can get to a happy middle.
In the future I am going to look for ewa-michalak bras for their removable inserts for uneven busts as soon as I can figure out what size to order.

Out of desperation, I ordered this bra with a band with that was too small for me. I have found though, that with an extender, this bra fits me wonderfully. Who knew? The only drawback is that after a few wearings, the upper part of the cup stretches and the support fails ever so slightly, but a wash and a gentle dry later, it bounces right back.

I was so sad this didn't fit, I wanted it to work. It is gorgeous, but the band was slightly too small and since I have narrow roots, I didn't quite fill the cup as much as I needed to. I probably could have made it work, but decided against it. Surprising I was so close to fitting for a curvy kate bra!

Hello, glad to see you recieved the bra. Have you tried any of CKs new cuts (Florence, Cascade, Bardot, Arizona..)? CK used to be too wide for me too and was always cutting into my armpits. The new cuts are narrower and work so well for me now. I'm a similar in size so feel free to check my reviews.
