Too small in both band and cups for me. Several months old. Worn several times, washed once.

As most of you are aware, Curvy Kate is probably my favorite large busted brand. They are also the brand I went to first when discovering my 'true size'. I loved their Showgirl Collection(Tempt Me,...

The midnight blue tempt me is absolutely gorgeous! I love the colour. I would like to point out some inconsistencies with the sizing. The "height" of the blue cups are the same as the height of the coral cups, but there is more "depth" and it is slightly rounder- not flatter. The blue is "wider" comparable most similar in width to their older sizes in 28G. So this means you don't need to go up as many cups, and you'll get a better fit because the cups will not be as high.

The blue is cut nicer- I have no complaints about the sewing. The cups are angled slightly closer in the center https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Unfortunately, this bra feels too big for me when I move around because of the added width and depth, I will be exchanging it for a 28F in this colour https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> And will sorely miss the 3 hooks on FF+ https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Bright happy color. great contraction. This bra's band is on the smaller side, but going for true to size would be better for a longer term wear of the bra. The lace details of a criss cross pattern, it's very dainty without being grandmomish. This bra can be sexy. The material is smooth and not very see through. If not washed properly, the seams can look a little rough after a few washes.

I really like this bra. I caught it on sale on Brastop in the pink and ivory combo. I find it to be quite comfortable, which is much different from other "pretty" bras I've had in the past. It also makes the girls look great! My only complaint is that it can't really be worn under fitted shirts without a cami/tanktop due to the detailing on the cups, but if you don't mind doing a little bit of layering, you shouldn't have any problems.

The straps adjust fully and are a perfect width for my narrow shoulders. The cups are a reasonable distance apart, and the low center gore doesn't dig in.

That said, this is the worst fitting bra I have ever owned. The band is huge, even on the tightest hook. Coupled with cups that are way too shallow, the center gore floats about an inch and a half away from my ribcage. The bottom of the cup is suffering from orange in a glass phenomenon, leaving many wrinkles, while the top digs in and causes a very dramatic quad-boob effect.

This bra may work best for people with large rooted and shallow breasts. I'm disappointed it didn't work for me.

This bra is really beautiful, and I'm disappointed that I seem to be sizing out of Curvy Kate 's Showgirl line entirely. The pictures show this model as light pink and white, but it's actually hot pink and cream, with the pink muted a bit by cream netting. The band is very stretchy and pleasantly wide, which is why I'm so sad not to fit it. My usual Curvy Kate complaints apply: the center gore is so wide that the bra slides up and down on my chest, leaving an itchy red mark even when the band is very tight. The cups are broad and too shallow. I can get away with wearing this one if I choose a low cut top and display a lot of cleavage, so the Tease Me [showgirl Collection] is very forgiving of a bad fit, but that doesn't make it the right size.

My first impression of this bra is that it is extremely cute. I generally avoid white lace styles because I find them boring, but the Portia has a nice design and pretty ribbon detailing. Unfortunately, this particular one is simply too small in the cup for me. It also has a relatively wide front gusset that causes the wires to poke me in the sternum. For someone with shallower, wider-set breasts, this bra would be great, however.

pretty but the cup seems to run quite large for me. Buying similar sized panache bras the bands were more comfortable and the cups we closer to fitting. The panache sienna 30 F was good fit as far as the cup and band. The cleo juna bra in 30 F was slightly large in the cup and generous in the band. I'd like to see this bra fit though.

the colors are pretty and its the first bra I've tried that suggests i could get cleavage. I'd like to try it in a bigger cup size, possibly bigger band size. Its snug but not unbearable though I'm afraid it might get that way over the day. Maybe a plunge with a deeper cup might be better but i dont know what to try. I tried a deco hatty 32 DD and it was too big in the band and slightly small in the cup but it seem tall on the sides.

Love this bra! It's super comfortable, gorgeous and supportive. It's seriously my perfect bra. The wine/grape color is beautiful.

Great bra, good fit and appearance. Large in band and cup than other brands. I had to size down a cup

This bra is excruciatingly painful on both sides of the wires. It's too narrow for me, and the GORE??? What is up with the gore being so tall in a 28E.. It should be maybe 1.7 inches max.
It's really pretty though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I'll just need to alter it immensely.

What a pretty bra. Who says you can't have both big boobs and pretty bras? Love the style and the colors available. It fits very nicely without poking and prodding. The details that make this one so cute may show up under certain fabrics, so watch out for that.

This bra is super cute. I love the lace details and the polka dots. This bra is a great addition for everyday wear but the details will show through certain fabrics.

While this bra may not be as cute as some of the other Curvy Kate bras out there, it is incredibly comfortable and looks great under a t-shirt or thin blouse (while some of the others do not). After one full day of wear, I can honestly say, this bra is probably the most comfortable one I own. It did not pinch, poke, or pull in any of the usual spots..

I wanted to love this bra. The scarlet is a gorgeous (and often elusive) shade of red that is perfect for my skin tone, I'm still a bit iffy on the leopard part, and the construction on this bra dominates in quality over the other bras using this base (the Elegance and Tempt Me).

Pros:
The construction quality (though possibly a fluke on this one bra) is impeccable--and I'm a seamstress, so I'm pretty picky about that sort of thing.
Very comfortable*
Pushup for those of us who aren't B cups (and I need it cuz my boobs HATE each other)!
Has 3 hooks (in GG+)
Low center gore for us petite and prominent ... sternum types (I'm both).
Note: The center gore on this bra is not only low, but it's really close together (the underwire channeling is actually touching), so if you have close-set boobs, you might really like this one.

Cons:
* Earlier I said it was comfortable, and this is true...to an extent. If you are of the narrow shoulder, narrow chest variety (if I measure from armpit to armpit across my chest I'm just a smidge under 12" wide--that's 30cm for you metric gals) you will HATE this bra. The straps will start under your armpit and will try to twist out of it--it's hard to describe, but you'll know it if you have it. Other than that, the bra is comfortable.

The band isn't as stretchy as others of this base (Tempt Me/Elegance). Don't plan to buy a band a couple of sizes smaller than normal (like you might in other Showgirl bras) or you might get a nasty surprise.

I had some of that "orange in a glass" thing with this bra. I'm not sure what causes that, and didn't really understand it until I bought this round of bras, but all of them using this base and in this size did it. I would have happily ignored it if the straps weren't so darned uncomfortable though.

I love this bra. It's perfect for my shape (shallow) and it's really cute, too. The center gore can wear on my sternum over the course of the day but it's not painful, just a nuisance. I'm also considering bending the underwire a bit to relieve some of the pressure.

All in all, the cups are perfectly shaped for me and the band provides enough support. I could go down a band size, but it's not dire. The shoulder straps are comfortable.

My only complaint would be the decorative nature of the bra making it a somewhat situational choice since it's visible under thin layers of clothing. Not a big deal to me right now in February, but the in the summertime I'll have to plan outfits accordingly.
