First impression upon removing from the package: Aw poo, this is so tiny

Band: Very snug. Couldn't fasten it myself, and my husband had to attach an extender to get it shut. Didn't even stretch to 32". Nice wide 4 hook closure though.

Cups: as this is a newer season CK, the wires are narrow-ish/average (narrower than old CK). Bottom of the cup was very shallow on me. My boobs immediately started pushing it down to find more room, so I couldn't jump around like I'd planned to test its stay-up-ness, but it did have wide silicone strips on the top and bottom of the wings/band. Seemed to flatten me ... out. Gore was fairly high. Didn't tack on me, partly from the cups not fitting and partly because I'm too close set. No cleavage in this bra. Top of the cups fit ok-ish without the straps, but once the straps were on they cut in.

Appearance: Pretty. not 'super fancy wow I need that now' pretty, but considering it's a basic bra, it has nice detailing.

Overall, if you want to try it, I'd recommend sizing up in the band, and possibly a cup unless you are shallow. If you're fairly/very projected or very close set, move along. 'this is not the bra you're looking for'

I don't think a strapless bra exists for a narrow and projected shape? You can see this bra from the pictures just doesn't match my shape.

I can see why this bra is often recommended. It's about the price of a Polish bra (like about the same price as an Ewa Michalak from Levana bratique), but it's not the quality of a Polish bra.

I wish the band was wider, I think I would feel more secure.

The underwires are very narrow on the side, but the cups are very TALL: I think that's where a lot of the cup volume goes. I don't fill out the bottom ... of the cups, or the top corners.

The band is definitely small. I mean, I understand they have to do this to have the strapless bra stay up; I stretched the band to 29" and I can wear it with an extender.

I think I would probably have to make my own strapless bra for my shape. I know Ewa Michalak used to make a strapless bra, but not anymore.

The bottom of the cup does have cookie pockets, if one wants to add chicken cutlets, fyi.

Probably the most supportive strapless bra I have ever tried for larger breasts (and I've tried a lot). Unfortunately I only had one occasion to wear it before my bra size changed, and now it doesn't fit me. But if I have another occasion where I need a strapless, I'd definitely get this again in a different size.

The band was snug, I think it ran a little small as per usual for a strapless bra. I usually wear a 30 in Curvy Kate, but I definitely needed the 32 on this one. I was advised to size up in the cups because of the dramatic angle of the top of the cup, but I shouldn't have. I think the cups ran true to size, and were the perfect shape like usual for me: shallow on the bottom of the cup, somewhat wide, and gave a good shape. I will be getting it in 32G, and am really hopeful that it will be a perfect fit.
