170 bras

The band is firm but not too tight. The fabric is soft and pliable. It was too round for my conical shape.

The band is very firm (I'd need an extender at first). The wings are short so there's some armpit boobage. The cup is very foamy/padded.

Pros:
-Provides good cleavage and support
-Cups run slightly small, so up a size if you're in between sizes
-Underwires are relatively short, so they don't poke and sit well under breasts

Cons:
-Seams may show through under thin shirts

Other info:
Under bust size: 27.5"
Upper bust size: 34"

I found when I wore a 30JJ in most bras, I needed a 30K in CK unpaddeds. I was surprised to find that now, when I'm around a 30K/KK, the 32K is too big in the cups. It seems to run bigger than other CK bras, so I'll be exchanging for a 30K and seeing how that fits. I found the shape to be quite good, but I can't quite fully judge it in this size. I like the material more than the other CK bras I've tried - it's the sort of laminate material, similar to Bravissimo Dotty Spot, rather than a scratchy mesh.The straps are wideset, wires are a bit wide, and I found it very tall under the arm, but the fit was better than expected. I'll have to try the 30K and report back.

Amazing! Not too tight, not too loose, its just right! It makes my back fat less prominent while making my boobs look great, which is something I've been searching for in a great bra.

My usual size is a 32G in Freya but in this size the band was too large and I could feel it was not going to be firm enough. A quick exchange later and I have been very happy with it.
Pros: good fit, for a bra with such good cleavage I feel secure. It gives a great look with lower cut tops. Straps are a good width and don't fall down.
Cons: after a full day of wear, the band can feel tight and uncomfortable on me. Not one for particularly active days unless I wear a tight vest top. It can give a bit too much of the "jellies on a plate" look for everyday wear.

I love this bra. It's so pretty. It's really comfortable and I really only have two complaints. First, the gore digs in uncomfortably sometimes (anatomy issue, probably), and the underwire doesn't come up high enough on the sides.

After wearing it a few times, I think I could probably size down to a 34F and still be fine. The band is VERY stretchy.

This bra is gorgeous! I was worried it would be too shallow, but the projection is just perfect. The band is true to size and very supportive with three hooks. The ribbon/lace at the top of the cups pulls away just a tad, but not enough to gape.

First word: COMFY. Even with the underwire going rather high up my side and poking a bit, this is probably the most comfortable bra I've ever tried. It's like wearing a pillow, or something.

A fair amount of padding lines the cup, two vertical seams instead of one like the rest of my bras. Definitely gives a 'boost'! It's very shallow at the bottom, so anyone who needs immediate projection should steer clear, but this works for anyone shallow or soft enough to be, uh, molded.

I really wanted this bra to fit as I was trying to choose between the Smoothie and the Deco, and I think the Smoothie is more attractive (I love the animal print).

I tried the Smoothie in 30G, 32FF and 32G, and this one (32G) definitely fit best out of the three, but still wasn't quite right.

The band was okay on the loosest hook (I would prefer it a smidgen tighter for a new bra, but the 30 band had been very tight on me). The cups were roughly the right size.

However, I couldn't quite position the bra and my breasts to get more than two ... out of: tacking centre gore; filling the bottom of the cup; no overspill. I could have the bra lower on my chest and have a tacking centre gore, but leave space at the bottom of the cup. Or I could have the bra a bit higher, so my breasts filled the bottom of the cup, but the gore wouldn't tack. And in either position, it took a lot of swooping, scooping and adjusting to get a smooth line at the top of the cup (some combination of overspill and gapping was more common).

If the Smoothie had been really comfortable I probably would have accepted the fit problems, but it wasn't. And as the centre gore wasn't as low as the Deco (30GG) I was comparing it with, the Smoothie showed more under the low-cut dress I tried on with them.

Pros: Really comfortable; the band is a good fit and the gore is flat against my chest, for once in my life! Cons: cups are way too big, but that's a fault on my side. Makes my boobs look pointy, but I think that'll be resolved with a proper size. My first Curvy Kate , and I'll definitely be buying more.

I love the subtle animal print pattern and the bra is comfortable and attractive.

However, the centre gore doesn't lie flat and I have orange-in-a-glass at the bottom of the cup and quad-boob at the top. I will try a cup size up, but I think perhaps this bra is too shallow for my breasts.

I bought this bra in hopes that I would finally find one that fit, but it was not to be. The band was rather tight and my breasts spill over on the top and side. It did not work for my bottom heavy breasts.

Very, very pretty, but very, very shallow bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

At first, this bra gave me a very weird torpedo-y kind of shape, and I did not feel like it had enough support and lift. I am even to slightly full on top, and there was too much fabric in the upper part of the cup. I altered the cups to bring the upper part of the cup (the pink part on my blue and pink bra) to meet the strap so that it would give me more lift and change the shape. It's much better now - more rounded and supportive, even though the wires are too wide for me.

This is a stunning looking bra. The lace and satin detailing is divine and I especially love the detailing on the straps while still keeping them almost fully adjustable. The wide attachment to the cups is both attractive and extra supportive. Their width of the straps is another feature I especially love. It doesn't give Freya Deco-like cleavage, think Marie Antoinette, but the pretty old-hollywood-like design complete with lace, satin and little bows definitely makes up for it. Unfortunately, the sizing does not work for me. The cups aren't deep enough and the center gore is too high, separating the cups too much. I therefore have quad boob. ... A cup size up would probably fix this. On the tightest hook, the band actually fits quite well, however due to the cup size the cups fit better on the loose hook. The shape is nice from front on, however side on it is atrocious. Again, I hope a size up would fix this as this is not the case with my 30F Tease Me bra. It definitely runs small in comparison (I'd say about 2 cup sizes smaller), the band is tighter though.

I had a feeling this bra would be too small, but I had to try it anyway. I love the position & shape of the underwires - they bring my breasts forward ("front and center") more than many of my other bras. It's crazy comfortable, and did I mention adorable? My husband loves the style.

Alas, I quadboob noticeably on one side. If I can find a 36E in the powder blue color, I will probably snatch it up in a minute because I LOVE this bra.

I should hate everything about this bra, and yet I don't! I love it!

First, this bra has crazy lift and forward projection. I feel like I have Joan Holloway's boobs in this bra. It's a bit more of a vintagey shape, but I like it! No fear for those who want a really round shape, though - first, it still gives nice roundness on the sides, and second, I've found that after several wearings it's started to conform more to the shape of my breast and look a bit rounder from the side.

Second, the moulded foam is RIGID! I usually like a soft memory ... foam, but this is a much more rigid foam that actually does sound a little like foam when it's squished. I usually hate that, but with this bra I don't care! I like that it's a really structured bra - sometimes you want that, and people in larger sizes need it. The band is firm, but doesn't feel too tight.

I've heard that this bra is better for full on top breasts, and I can see that, but it also works really well for my full on bottom breasts. I only get a little gaping on my smaller side, and even then, the bra is cut in such a way that the top egde is all but invisible under clothes. This bra makes my breasts look and feel great.
