This bra is absolutely gorgeous, unfortunately the cups are too small, the wires are too short, and the band is too loose. Needless to say it does not fit.

Nice bra but too big for me in 28E. A 28DD fits well.

GORGEOUS bra, but it's about two or three sizes too small for me, so it just doesn't work on me. I got it in a 30F later and it fit way better.

Very pretty bra. Seems to work with my shallow ladies. The ruffle on the top could interfere with the lines of some shirts. Love the firm band. Gives great cleavage. Pushes up without discomfort.

This is my second Entice. This one is the white one; I wrote a longer review for the black one.
The white fits pretty much the same as the black, but I think the band might stretch a bit more than the black one.

I have shallow, full on the sides breasts that are weirdly close together. This bra gives me cleavage! The underwires are wide enough and the cups are shaped exactly the same way I am. This bra is supportive and gorgeous. Only complaints: My torso is narrower than the bra is. I'd love if the gore were even narrower (keep it a plunge!) and if the straps attached to the cups closer together at the front.

Technically, it fit.
Unfortunately, as many reviewers noted, I can confirm it's very uncomfortable to wear. The underwires are stiff and U-shaped and poke into the sternum and into the sides.
The cups are open on top and shallow at the bottom. This seems not the best thing for my breast shape (I get nip slips when bending forward). It's not a big issue under clothing, but I decided I don't feel 100% good in it and so I'm not keeping it.
If I'd try it again, I'd pick a 30DD instead of 28E, hoping this will fix the poking wires. The band felt pretty firm so it will probably work.
I saw a quick hack to make it more closed on top by taking in the ribbon at the brim of the cup. Sounds like a good way to fix the open cups.

Ribcage: 77.0
Breast: 27.5
Nip2neck: 22
Weight: 125lb
BAND: The bra fits at the very edge hook with room for two fingers (whereas the 34E, I could clasp the furthest one in and still put a whole hand under the band).
UNDERWIRE: Fairly comfortable, no digging in and am well padded. The wires are a little wider than what the usual shape I prefer (bra's that pull the girls front and center, no E&W thanks) but for a soft bra, the position isn't bad. The wire at the armpits is not high enough to help migrated and escaped breast tissue move back into place.
GORE: the center gore might be a tad ... too high for me as sometimes it pushed some force onto my ribs (not enough to bruise or be sore after a day of wear), just a tad uncomfortable. Nothing a little bending of the wires won't fix.
LACE & CUP: The lace is pretty decent quality with good embroidery stitching. The shape is a little pointy when worn, though that might be due to my own breast shape.
My larger side fills the cup nicely (during period) and the top edge of the lace lies flush-ish (there are no 'wrinkles' but its not like lego pieces perfect). My smaller side has an issue of wrinkles at the top. Perhaps one size down might be a better fit for both larger and smaller side breasts.
CONCLUSION: I'll be keeping this bra as an at home or errands day bra. It's very comfy and pretty but the shape it gives....doesn't quite fit my wardrobe's demands haha

I am actually very pleased with this bra now that I have it in the right size. It's unobtrosive, comfortable, gives just enough projection, and I forget I'm even wearing it. It's the only bra I went back and bought s other of! My only issue is with the width of the wire and subsequentt width at the top of the cup. Difficult to wear under anything but a tshirt sometimes.

very good bra, sexy but comfortable, i would wear it over and over

I think this bra could be a little better fit through the cups, but it's the most comfortable bra I own. I will definitely consider Curvy Kate for bras in the future. I've had it for a while now and it hasn't seemed to stretch out much. The side-boob support is wonderful.

I find this bra to be very comfortable. The high gore doesn't dig in at all, and the straps sit at a pretty good spot so as not to cause rubbing in the armpits. The interior is quite soft.
I got this bra in my 'normal' Curvy Kate size, which is a cup size up from my 'regular' size. It's a bit shallow, and doesn't give an outward projecting profile. It sort of pushes the breasts towards the collarbone, instead.
I love the way the bra looks, too. The lace on the top and bottom of the cups is thicker than lace that I had on Victoria's Secret bras, but not visible through clothes (unless it was something very sheer or lightweight). Overall it is very pretty and a good fit.

Pros: embroidery and color are pretty. The fabric is sturdy, the band is fantastic. It fits more comfortably than my Freya Mishcha 28. I prefer 3 hooks for stability, so I appreciate that about Curvy Kate. I feel very supported in this bra, and would find it more than suitable for everyday wear were it not for the cons about to follow. I think the band would hold up well under wear, as the stretch isn't terribly dramatic.
Cons: the straps are WAY too wide. They come up under my armpits and I'm certain there would be chafing if I wore it for a couple hours. I have quite ... a bit of projection and despite Curvy Kate being known for their shallowness, my breast tissue seems to fit well inside the cup - it doesn't give me a flattened look at all.
The other major con is that the cups are simply too wide for me. This bra (and CK in general) are made for wide set, wide root, shallow breasts. The underwire wing went far beyond the end of my breast root. The wideness didn't seem to make a big difference under clothing, but I couldn't wear this due to discomfort, regardless.
I also don't care for the shape this bra gave my breasts. It sort of drags them downwards - I have very soft breasts, so I need I rely heavily on my bra to shape me.

The material of this bra is very nice. It's soft, not itchy and it's beautiful fabric in general. It's very comfortable except a bit too small for me in the cup size and just a tad snug for the band as well.

Disclaimer: baby pink and white is not my first choice of color combinations, but this was for sale at a decent price in my size, so please don't judge me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />
I can deal with crazy pink shades like fuchsia and magenta, but I'm not such a big fan of the baby pink and white. I'm seriously considering removing the dotted Swiss lace that covers most of the bra so the nice crazy color can come out to play, but I don't sew and haven't figured out yet how to remove the lace from the cups, gore, and wings without hurting the thick ... lace and ribbon trim at the top.
I really like the lace and ribbon trim on the top. The scalloped edges on the lace remind me of one of my favorite motifs, the Egyptian lotus. I'm giving the bra high marks for its appearance, as the color isn't really its fault.
As I suspected, the fit is good but not perfect. I have a tiny bit of quadboob in the area of the cups meeting the gore if I breathe too deeply, and the area around the straps gapes a little bit (from looking at other users' photos, this seems to be a common problem). I don't think sizing down to a 32E wouldn help, I think I'd just have more quadboob in the front. The fit of this bra is similar to my Ewa Michalak HP and CH bras, but a little less forgiving.
Update: I've worn it for a couple of hours, and my boobs are starting to feel a little squished. This may not be the best choice to wear all day for a lady with projection. But as others have said, it does feel pretty secure. The gore is a pain, too.

So gorgeous, but just a tad small in the cups. I normally wear a 28G and heard this was small, but even the 28GG is giving me quad boob and showing some nipple. I'd love to try it in a 28H if I can find it, because its so pretty and comfortable. The straps are very wideset, though.

I have the black and the blush, apart from the colour they're identical.

Super sexy yet supportive balconette, which is rare for a beige bra. The lace is extremely soft and the straps are lightly lined. Three rows of three hooks. Great support.

Its extremely comfy and cute. Fits my boobs well, except when I lean down they kinda want to pop out of the top. This bra is pretty low cut so it works with a plunging neckline. I've only worn it once.

I have this as well and found the white inner bra to be very distracting. I wore it on a river tubing trip, which required me to move quite a bit, and I felt very self-conscious of my white "bra" peeking through my swimsuit. I already feel enough exposed by usually being the largest busted woman in my social circle -- I don't need to have more attention drawn to "the girls" by having the fact that I need a bra sewn into my bathing suit to be completely obvious.
Other than the white bra thing, I do really like the color and the fit of the outer tankini portion. I really could use a cup size (or two) larger, but the "suit" part fits great.
