    28G

    Didn't fit

    I lost track of my UK size because I almost exclusively wear Polish now, but I guess I'm a 28FF. I've seen a lot of reviews recommending to size up in this bra so I got a 28G. My shape is projected, full on top and centre, with tall and narrow roots, soft and self-supporting tissue, and super close-set.

    A few years ago I tried this bra and it was too big in the band and too small in the cups, causing gaps and painful wires under the armpit. I just got a bunch of cute summer tops and dresses so I decided to try again, as it is ... known as the most narrow and projected strapless bra.

    The band is tight, but not a full size tight, with elastic gel strips. The cups are indeed narrow and projected, but a little closed on top. I agree with the advice to go up a cup. It's almost a perfect fit on my right (smaller) side, but I have these lumps on my left (bigger) side at the bottom and quad boobs at the top. I'm afraid a 28GG would be too big though. The gore is too wide but I'm not sure if I can successfully do the overlapping alteration on a padded bra.

      Gosh, I tried to get this one to work too, and tried my normal size and the sister size up. Both seemed fine in the cup shape and size, but the hard wires kept digging in at the gore and I couldn't tolerate the pain. Did you have any issues with painful wires digging in with the size you tried?

    • belleandblues Because of how close-set I am, most gores are painful unless they're overlapped. I did the alteration on this bra and the wires were still digging, so I put a tissue paper under the gore when I wore it out for a whole day. It was not very comfortable but tolerable. When I took it off there were bruises on the side where the top of the wire sat. :( I've got an extender on the way so hopefully that'll help. I've tried a 30 band and it was too loose for me.

      Ouch, that's brave of you to try wearing it out, but it hurts to read about the bruising! Do you think this might work better if you replace the underwires with ones that are less rigid? Even when I was in the sister size with a more comfortable band, the wires were intolerable.

    Fits great. Structured so gives a nice shape. Versatile, can be worn strapless. looks great but seam in middle of cup that can show through thinner clothing.

    38G

    Didn't fit

    I bought this bra second hand in color beige in a size (UK38G) that wasn't my actual size (UK34GG).

    This is a strapless padded & underwired bra with side support inside the cups. The quality of the bra is good as the comfort but if you don't like silicone lining in strapless bra, this is not for you. The band is quite firm.

    Fits

    Finally got my hands on one of these and now is certainly my most cofortable and functional strapless bra. The underwires are very high quality and sturdy. If I could change anything it would be to add cookie pockets to or make the material stiffer in the cups because I find that helps maintain a better shape in a strapless for my full on bottom shape. I also think more could be done to mask the vertical seams. As with most Curvy Kate's, I find the cups run large.

    38G

    Didn't fit

    I bought this bra on a online thrift shop in black in the size UK38G (EU85I). It doesn't fit me well as the centre gore doesn't lie flat against my sternum & the wires are a little too high for my liking because they poke my armpits. Nevertheless I still wear this bra on the regular as it gives my breast a nice round shape thanks to the moulded cups & gives them a bit of uplift. This could be wore with or without straps.
    The strapless effect is created with a firm band that doesn't expand a lot compared to other Curvy Kate's bras & with 2 ... fine lines of silicone (I think) around the edges of the band. This silicone doesn't give me rash but it could be itchy for some people.

    To conclude, given its retail price (50€) & if you could try your size or do free exchange, I think this bra is really well made & comfortable. I rated Okay in the Appearance section because its doesn't fit according to the Bratabase guidelines but its isn't too obvious even under skintight clothes.

    Good quality strapless bra, it would keep you up if you were actually a 30FF. The band is too big for me as a 28G. Also not my shape.

    I wouldn't recommend this bra for people with projected breasts, but it might work well for shallow ones. Band was super stretchy and it didn't seem to matter which hook I closed it on. Silicone on the band does help it stay up though. Foam cups that are relatively soft, thin, and squishy. It just isn't the right one for me.

    Didn't fit

    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.

    Fits

    Only worn for a short time to try on, but this is a very comfortable bra. Easily the most comfortable strapless bra I have owned.

    Some space at the top of the cups (my breast tissue is soft), however this is covered well by the molding and looks great under clothing.

    32H

    Didn't fit

    TL;DR Size the cup down, might show through thin or tight tops

    I haven't worn this bra for a full day as a strapless yet (I'm still figuring out the right size to wear and want to possibly send this one back) but it does make a good appearance. While wearing it strapless for a while at home, I could see that it would not slide down and that it did make a nice shape.
    Style: For a basic strapless bra it does have a really cute not-so-basic style with the tuxedo detailing. I'm a little concerned that because this is a full coverage padded cup with a thicker ... top line, it could show through tighter or thinner clothing. But at least it provides enough cover, that if anything should slide, my boobs will not be exposed.
    Fit: The 32:11 did not fit me the best personally. The cup seems bigger, but the band is tighter than other 32 bands that I have, which is very nice for a strapless bra. The silicone in the band does a good job at not sliding, however I can imagine it becoming a little uncomfortable during sweaty days. Nonetheless, I would take non-slip over comfort any time, especially with a strapless option that needs to stay up only with the band.
    I'm not sure if the band will stretch out, and I sure hope it does not. However, to be sure I'm going to size down. I would make the 32:11 a 32:10 or a 30:11 just to be sure. With the straps in place, I fill the cups out nicely, but without them the bra sags a bit and I want it to fit perfectly without straps.
