    38GG

    Didn't fit

    This bra is beautiful and I wish it fit but the cups are too small and the underwire pokes into the side. I think I would wear a 38hh in this bra rather than a 38gg.

    The size is only a hair small... but the biggest problem is that the cups are too far apart for me - even though I narrowed the center gore. What a shame! It is such a beautiful bra.

  3. Thrill Me Padded Bra (SG3001)

    For whatever reason, I prefer the fit of my blue/pink Thrill Me. The cups on this white one seem to jut out more or they are a little bigger.

    Other than that, it is the same. It's a super comfy bra, rather stretchy but gives good support and a nice shape. The frills make it hard to wear with some tops. I really like the elastic straps and the wide band.

    32GG

    Didn't fit

    I got this bra on sale from breakoutbras. I read the reviews on it and saw a lot of people said it ran large in the cup and small in the band so I stepped up from my normal 30H that I wear in most Panache and Freya. Overall, I like this bra. I am wearing it right now. It is a good work bra. It is stable and keeps everything in, it is bouncy but still supportive--- However, it leans toward a half cup and it is RIGHT on the verge of having my nipples pop out- but the frilly fabric on the cups just keeps them ... in. Also the straps are adjustable but they have a lot of Stretch in them, so you might have to readjust them midday as they tend to slip, stretch out. I could probably do with a tighter band as well.

    Bra would be great if I had ordered it in "the correct" or a different size but it was my first CK bra and I was trying them out, again on the nonreturnable deal from breakoutbras.

    I want to try more of the CK line.

    28G

    Fits

    This is my favorite bra! I have it in three sizes (28G, 28FF, 28F), two of which are too small, because I didn't return a couple of earlier orders like I should have. Nevertheless, I can wear all three sizes without having obvious quad-boob underneath my shirt, since the design of the bra manages to work with my breast shape/density to minimize (28F) or completely hide (28FF) the size problems. Although not by any means a t-shirt bra, I regularly wear it under heavier, patterned t-shirts and it gives a very nice, rounded shape from the front and sides. I've heard a lot of complaints about the gore ... painfully hitting the sternum, but didn't find it to be that much of a problem, even though I don't have much padding on my rib cage (for reference, I'm 5'9" and 125lbs). Also, I only noticed a problem with the gore on the too-small bras. Once I sized up to the 28G, the gore didn't bother me at all. I assume that's because the gore was high enough to not hit the bony spot that was causing discomfort in the other sizes. I think this bra makes my breasts look amazing, both under clothing and on its own. If you have shallow breasts, this is definitely a bra to try. Oh, and if you have nickel allergies you will probably have to replace the rings on the back of the bra (the ones that connect the straps to the bra), since they do contain nickel. Of course, if you're only mildly allergic or don't wear the bra very much, then you might not have a problem.

    32J

    Didn't fit

    I bought this bra on clearance at an amazing price, with fingers crossed that it would fit. I was really hoping once I tried Emily in the correct size, she would work for me. I've flipped back and forth between thinking the cups were to small (because once I scooped and swooped, I'd have a bit of quadri-boob) to thinking the cups were too big because the lacy tops of the cups would wrinkle and feel a bit loose/empty when I was sitting or leaning my body forward a bit. The band is a bit snug for me, and at times the place where the underwires meet dig ... into my sternum, but it's something I can live with from a new bra.

    I've decided that my problem with Emily is that to get decent shape and to fill out the cups properly, I have to tighten the straps as short as they go, and doing this means the sides of the cups come up high under my armpits and painfully dig in. Also, I get a square boob-profile, and not much uplift.

    I would maybe try an 32HH to solve these problems, but I don't have high hopes that it would give me a more rounded shape, I think the cut of the bra is just not for me sadly.

    28F

    Didn't fit

    Well... according to the fit questions... This bra does fit
    EXCEPT!! Where the horizontal seam is, the bra is empty right there. Very strange and very pointy, like a nipple. There is a teeny tiny bit of wrinkling on the bottom of my larger side, but at this point I'm not sure if it is like that because its too shallow there, or if being squished in the package did that.

    The underwires are very wide...probably a bit too wide for me but I can't really seem to tell at this point. It extends farther back than the gray area where I'm not sure if there is ... any boob there or not. It goes into the "definitely no more boob behind this underwire" area.

    I think sizing down would result in quadboob and extreme wrinkling at the bottom of the cups... so! This size is good.. just suuper pointy.

    Update: After washing the bra to reset the cup shape, the wrinkling at the bottom is still there on my larger boob!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think 3 part cups with slight padding/moulding is something I should stay away from now, since it doesn't seem to agree with my shape.

    28HH

    Didn't fit

    I can't stand this bra. I got a band size down because it stretches and one cup up because I read that people who are full on top should size up. When I first tried it on it fit but as I wore it into the day I coud feel my boobs spilling out of the cups. The wires run past my armpit and I cannot fill the cups toward the sides. After a few hours the material gets really uncomfortable and the bra always shifts from when I first put it on and the cups cut into my armpits. I also don't like that the center gore is extended with non wire material up. I am full on top and it gets itchy. It also gives a pointed boob effect. The only positive point is that although the straps are far apart, they have a good grip and don't fall down. I don't recommend this bra to people who have a close set chest since the cups are really wide.

    This bra feels a bit too big in the back and the cup (compared to some other 28GGs), the sizing is closer to some of the 30GGs I have tried in the past. When it fits right, it makes a gorgeous silhouette under clothes, and gives some sexy cleavage! A good one for 'big boob' days, otherwise size down a back size and maybe a cup too.

    This bra is really beautiful- a lot prettier than I expected, even. The lace and ruffles on it are a bit inconvenient for under shirts, and the colors show through clothes that aren't opaque, but it's not as pronounced as with the Thrill Me, which I also tried.

    It's also really really comfortable- the cups are lightly padded with very soft material, so it's like supportive pillows for my boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    I have a few complaints, though- number one is that the cups are too wide for me. If I lean over when I'm wearing it, my boobs try to ooze towards the front ... of the bra since they naturally want to be closer together, resulting in minor quad-boob. The straps are also very far apart, right up in my armpits. The straps aren't made of the nicest material, which is a shame- I much prefer the straps on Freya bras, which are firmer and more comfortable.

    The band is stretchier than the Thrill Me by far; it's not as loose as a 30 but not really as tight as I like a 28, either. (I have a 27" underbust, for reference.)

    This bra is definitely very nice for special occasions.
    Poor support, maybe because the straps of the showgirl collection are made of a different material compared to other ck styles.
    Cups fit perfect. Band too big.

    Very nice bra, I really like the style. It's comfortable and supportive, perfect band size, but too small in the cups for me(quad boob effect/wires too short).

    Bra perfect for everyday use, quite supportive and not bad shape.
    The band is too stretchy for me(I have to wear the bra at the tightest hook) and the straps are too separate.

    Fits

    I think this is the most comfortable bra I own. The satiny cups are smooth and soft against my skin. I ordered this bra in my sister size of 36E as a 34F wasn't in stock. The band is stretchy, but doesn't ride up. There is a mesh and floral lace detail at the top of the cups, the mesh is purple and the floral embroidery is a salmon/pink. There is a satin salmon/pink bow at the center gore and where the cups meet the band. The fully adjustable elastic straps are the same salmon/pink color as is the stitching and underside trim of the bra. The underwires are a perfect fit for me - nice and wide.

    Great basic pretty bra. Bright pink polka dot mesh with cute pink satin ribbon lacing through the floral lace trim at the top of the cups and a pink satin bow at the center and at the top of each cup. The floral lace and ribbon follows up the straps about 1/2 way. Straps probably adjustable over lace trim with effort.

    34F

    Didn't fit

    I am still trying to figure out my correct size, and when I ordered this bra, I mistakenly thought there was no way I'd fit into anything smaller than a 34 band. This is obviously wrong, and this band is too big for me (I can fit a whole fist underneath it). However, the back stays in place, and the center gore lies almost flat on my chest - so the bra is still wearable.The cups are an OK fit, though on the small side.The fit of the cup also has to do with the shape, which is quite interesting - a lot of breast in the middle! ... My larger breast especially sometimes looks like it's trying to escape the bra, and my breasts are actually wide-set. I don't think this bra would fit someone with naturally close-set breasts. I would like to go up two cups and down one band size in this bra, I think...

    The design is lovely, in my opinion. The overall quality of the bra is very good, and I rarely have to tinker with it when I wear it.

    32H

    Didn't fit

    BAND: My underbust measures 30 inches. I don't like super tight bands, so I went for a 32, but I can fasten this bra on the tightest hooks and it is still a bit looser than I'd prefer. Partially this is because the fabric is very stretchy. The band seems to run a bit big/loose.

    There are three rows of hooks, which is great and supportive. The fabric of the band is so stretchy though, and the material seems to want to slide around, so I do have to readjust once in a while and re-swoop and scoop.

    CUPS: The cups ... are constructed with three seams. I have very sensitive skin, so although the fabric is pretty soft and comfortable, the seams irritate my skin a little.

    At first I thought the cups were too big, but after swooping and scooping, I had no problem filling them. Since my breasts are full on the bottom (as opposed to full on the top), I didn't get the push-up/cleavage effect that some others do while wearing this bra, but it does lift and separate well. The depth of the cups is fine for me, and it gives a nice shape both from the front and from the side.

    The problem is that the wires are too wide. I prefer a more front and center shape, and this is a bit east/west for me.

    WIRES: The wires on this bra are about an inch too wide for me. As mentioned before, initially I thought that the cup size was too large, but really, I just need a narrower shape. The wires are also very high, and as a petite woman (5'2"), when I'm wearing the bra high enough on my torso, they end up cutting into my armpits.

    Overall, this is a beautiful bra and it seems to be well-constructed. It just runs a bit big in the band and wide/high in the wires for me. Still, compared to the 36DD's that I was wearing before, it is closer to a true fit for me. The search continues!

    34E

    Didn't fit

    When I first got this bra, I thought it fit. However, the reality was that it just fit better than my other poorly fitting bras. It is still too small n the cup. The under wire on the side cuts into my breast tissue and it doesn't go up high enough. It has the slightest quad boob effect and it is a bit too separate for my breasts which tend to be very close together.

    If the bra is hooked on the first hook, the edges of the band seams are very scratchy and hurt. Hooking it on the second hook solved the problem.

    It is pretty but the lace ... folds on the cups mean it shows lumps in a tighter/thinner shirt. You couldn't wear it with everything.

    The straps are almost perfect. I have pretty narrow shoulders and straps tend to be a big issue. The straps on this didn't fall off, but they feel a little bit like they are too wide set/loose. However, this may also be part of my adjustment to wearing properly fitted bras as I am used to wearing the straps super tight to compensate for the lack of fit in other areas

    Band is very stretchy as it fits my 36 inch ribcage. Not sure why with this one. Bra is pretty and a great buy at less than 25 USD.
