This is unfortunate, since it's a super comfy material and I wish it fit better, but I run into two scenarios.
1: Quadboob with empty bottom of cups
2: Wrinkly loose tops with full bottom of cups
I have no idea what causes this, but it's irritating.

So once upon a time, when I very first started this blog, I reviewed the Curvy Kate Princess in white in a 30H. Obviously, that is not my size anymore (and it wasn't REALLY my size at the time, I ...

I really, really, REALLY want the Curvy Kate Princess to work for me. I really do. I am going to keep and wear this bra, but it isn't a perfect bra for my shape. The full review can be found over at my blog!
Look at this woman. Doesn't she look so happy? Look at that bra! Doesn't it look like she likes it? Doesn't it look so lacy and soft and well fitted? Doesn't the silhouette look so beautiful and...

As with most CurvyKate bras, I wish the straps were placed ever so slightly closer together, more to avoid chaffing than falling off my shoulders. It's a pretty bra that is light, very breathable, and supportive. The lace along the top is a little unforgiving, creating some minor quad-boob when I reach my arms up over my head. The only real con besides the straps being wide-set is the scalloped lacing along the underwires. In other bras, CurvyKate included, this edging doesn't bother me. In this particular bra, the edging seems to roll inward and rub along my ribs.

This bra is gorgeous and intricate while still being subtle.. nude isn't always pretty!
The band was a challenge to hook, being a little tighter than my other 32G's, and having 3 to hook. However, once I got it hooked, the band felt great. It felt very supportive and it stretched just-enough when I pulled on it, the band would not be uncomfortable.
That being said, the cups were AT LEAST a size too small. There was definite quad-boob before I even tried to swoop/scoop myself into place.
The gore was another interesting piece. It was lower than others which was Great for my closer-set boobs and it didn't bother me/feel weird, but it seemed to be wider than I'm used to, and held my breasts a little farther apart than I'm used to seeing. This was not necessarily a bad thing, as it as comfortable, I just would have to get used to a slightly different look.

Back to the Princess again. Love the shape, and plus I still have matching panties I haven't killed yet- it's a high-quality set. Straps are still a little slippy for my liking.
Edit: Straps and underwire are both a little wide for my liking, leading to added pressure on my shoulders. The band stretched fairly quickly (I like my bands to be quite firm). Even after several months, the bra provides a nice line under tops/dresses, on the proviso that they're thick enough to cover up the dots.

Such a pretty bra. Such a tricky fit. The band was really loose & the cups a bit small, though they gapped at the top as they haver zero stretch. The shape I got was awful. The dreaded square boob CK is infamous for in too small cups. The straps are pretty with a floral design. I found them too thin, not soft, & I dislike the zero stretch. Thi's bra does not move with me at all.
The velvet polka dots are lovely, as is the ribbon detail along the top of the cups. Neither make for a comfy feel next to the skin, though. And the raised dots DO pick up color from almost anything. Mine quickly became a collection of gray and red, with some navy too. Mind, these are from shirts I've owned a long time that do not bleed color. At any rate, I hate white bras anyway, so along with my a freya Jolie, I decided to dye them with food coloring. The Princess is now pale blue & much prettier.

I Just got this bra in the mail. It's the little sister version of the larger one I have! Still cute and even better, it has the perfect fit. The material is transparent with cute white polkadots over the cup material. The band is not very stretchy and is a little bit snug. Great look and support. Downside is the material tends to pick up a bit more dirt since it is white.

Back when I first started to self measure and ordered bras from online, it was very much a hit or miss game. This bra was from my first online order. I ordered the bra in a 36H, 34HH, and 34H… I kept this 36H because it felt like the best fit out of the bunch, and returned the others for an exchange (which again, ended up a failure even though I kept those bras.) It's made out of a smooth mesh material with very cute polkadots across the cup. The strap has a very pretty floral embroidery on it. The quality of this bra is very outstanding. Even though this bra is now very large, it has become my fall back bra to wear when I just don't know what else to wear. It's comfortable and too large now, but the cups are awesome (albeit they are a bit large…). I need this bra is a smaller band size and an adjusted cup size. Because I have had this bra for so long, it obviously has seen better days.

I ordered the bra in a 36H, 34HH, and 34H… all of which felt far too small to wear. So like a fool I exchanged the for a band up. Which ended up (for about a week) feeling like I had ordered the better size. Now, months later, I know how overly sized is this bra. It's made out of a smooth mesh material with very cute polkadots across the cup. The strap has a very pretty floral embroidery on it. The quality of this bra is very outstanding. I only ever wore this specific bra about 5 times before I had to retire it for just offering no support.
