This non-padded bra is a true beauty and works pretty well in my narrow and projected breasts!

lcl0706 thaaanks <3 You're the one to blame on this beauty hehehe ;)
I had to pass mine on as it was just a tiny bit too small on lefty & I had better fitting bras. But i still say it's one of the prettiest bras ever!
I have to agree with lcl0706 about everything fitting you. :) I have the feeling that CK is making smaller - less deep cups now than they used to.
lcl0706 yes, it's a beauty <3
This might be the prettiest bra I've ever had! Also the shape is amazing and round. The cups are more shape forgiving than earlier seasons of Curvy Kates. I think I need the raspberry color, too!

glad you enjoy the fit and the aesthetic of this bra! I too am a Curvy Kate fan.
I am really liking this bra, goes on my wishlist. Thanks for the review!
This bra is gorgeous! I really want one if they aren't discontinued!
I continue to be a big fat sucker for purple and CK's designs. I find this bra more similar to Bardot/Madagascar than any of the older CK styles listed under the "same cut" links on the page. It's definitely far more open on top than Bardot is though. Almost (technically) too small for me, but workable.
Switching gears today to my latest unlined acquisition. I'm a sucker for purple

Are you going to keep it? It is so beautiful and looks great on you. I have been in love for this bra for a while, but given my past with CK unlined bras, I have been afraid to try it...all have been failures. I agree...older CK styles I have tried have been too wide and shallow. Recently, I have had luck though with CK's padded bras Daily Boost and Arizona. They seem quite a bit narrower and more projected. I might try this in my ususal CK size of 30H given how great it looks on you (if I can find it...maybe on sale)!
Thanks! Yeah I'm gonna keep it. I think a 28G woulda solved the problems with my left side, but also likely been too wide and too big on my right. And it's not like lefty is making an escape all day. I've just gotten extremely picky!
straps are set MUCH too far apart and underwires are really wide for me.
Great colours and cute style.

Wow this bra is gorgeous. I've never seen such a pretty purple on a bra before. The lace detail is so intricate and amazing- what I love about Curvy Kate.
The fit is mostly good. The cups are a little wider on top than the Portia, and there is no restrictive ribboning. The lace sits flat and is really flattering. This bra cut fit me a lot like a plunge which I love. The gore is, understandably, low. It gives me a more rounded appearance than the Portia and is less coverage (I'd say) than the Princess.
The design on the cups is more modest than a lot of CK bras, so if you like detail but are the kind of person who'd rather not have your bra announcing its existence to the world, this would be a good option for you. Personally, I like design-obnoxious or not- but it is nice sometimes for the sake of smoothness to have a toned down bra.
This bra covers my nipples better than the Princess, but mine are smaller sized.

I think the straps are too short for me to comfortably wear this. I do also get some in-cup quadding.

A very lovely bra with short cups, which is good for short roots. I love the violet color, it looks unique and elegant compared with the bold and bright red/blue/yellow/pink bras out there. The fabrics are sturdy, and there are a few small details (embroidery, charm) I like. I was so lucky to get the last one on Amazon.

This bra is gorgeous and super comfy. The gore height is great, feels lower than my other balconettes. It has some wrinkles on the smaller side and the wires are a bit wide. Also straps feel a bit too wide set.

Since I am sick and at home it is a perfect time to catch up on all reviews I missed ;p
My first soft CK bra that does not wrinkle o top of the cup.
Pros: very nice and elegant colorway, pretty gore pendant, nicely working band that does not stretch out immediately, cups are true to size and snug, but no quad
Cons: gives a very low, natural shape, which can be a problem to someone who likes "half orange glued on chest" effect.

This bra is gorgeous. The cute blue bow and the jewel in the center make me want to keep it, but unfortunately, it's wires are too wide, ti doesn't have enough projection, and the straps are too wide.
Wires: Too wide. Seem the right height, no pain after short term wear.
Gore: Flat but does not tack. Maybe slighty too wide, not painful. Height seems fine.
Cups: Not seeing wrinkling. Gaping where the straps meet the band and between my IF and the underwires. I adjusted it into the IF seconds ago and can feel it slipping as I write this.
Straps: Straps are too wide, but completely adjustable. Band appears parallel to floor.
Comfort: Underwire causes minor pressure pain after short term wear. With a Cleo Lily to compare too, I realize this is definitely due to projection issues. The 30GG Cleo Lily gapes, this has slight quadding on my larger boob.
