This was way way too small in the cups for me, so I can't comment on the fit.
The quality on this bra is amazing though. I love the material and design and the details are great. It also feels very comfortable, even while it's too small!
I've heard mixed things about CK bras, that they don't work for some people. I must be made for them since this is my best fitting and most comfortable bra. I got this is in my normal size and it fits fine, I could probably wear a 28G in the white version which seems to have smaller cups. The bra itself is silky and so pretty! I have it in blue and white. The band is fine on me. I seem to be inbetween 28 and 30, so a loose 28 works fine on me.
The cups are shallow and wide which is just what I need. This ...bra gives me a great uplifted look and puts all my tissue up where I need it. It gives me a lovely round shape. I do like the three hooks, it feels secure. The straps are also so comfortable and don't fall down like other bras.
My only issue is the lacey details make it unwearable with some tops. I can also see how the underwires may make some women uncomfortable. I don't know how to describe, they kind of come away from the body. They never bother me however.
I will continue to find CK bras since they work so well on me. Read more 103 more words
This bra is too big in the band and too small in the cups for me. I did go up a cup size, as I am already somewhat between sizes, but a 28HH might have fit better. I would love to see Curvy Kate come out with a 26 band!
The quality is good and despite the fit, the bra is very comfortable.
Okay can we talk about how much I want this bra to fit?
I love the wires. This is the only bra I've tried that doesn't stab me in the armpit when I move my arms. It looks nice if I stand up straight with my shoulders back. The band is comfortable. The straps are comfortable. It's pretty cute.
Unfortunately as soon as I move my arm or slouch at all there's huge gapping in the cups, which is the exact same problem I've had with every other 38D bra and most of the 38C bras I've tried, so it's not staying. There's absolutely no way I could wear it.
Notably, ...it seems smaller in both the cup and the band than the Thrill Me I got in the same size. The wires are narrower and the cups are shallower. The band is also significantly shorter and less stretchy. If this weren't the case I'd try going down to a 36D. I'm pretty sure I'd fit in the 36 band in Thrill Me. Tempt Me just doesn't stretch enough, though, so it looks like it's just not the style for me. Read more 81 more words
This bra seems to fit better over all than any of the others I've tried thus far. The band is comfortable and stays in place and wide enough to give adequate coverage without being matronly. The cups fit well and even though my right side is a bit smaller, it still fills out the cup well enough so there is no gapping along the top as I have found with other bras. The contour of the underwire is perfect for my shape, though it could stand to extend about half an inch higher under my arm. That said, it doesn't feel too short, it's ...just that, at just shy of 50, my skin seems to be detaching itself from my body in a way that it didn't even 10 years ago and it would look much better contained within the cup/wing area under my arm! Not a huge deal, just a minor detail. The bra itself is lovely and I like that it pushes the girls together and lifts them up where they ought to be without the use of padding.

This is a really pretty bra, and the under-wire width/placement is just exactly right for me
but.....
ugh, the straps and the fabric cup. The edge of the cup is not stretchy so it cuts into the top of my breasts and the decorations of the strap (and the fact that the straps are so far apart :///) kept irritating my skin to the point that I would get rash there that would last a week.
This bra was very close to being a good fit for me! However, the band was slightly loose, and the cups a tad too small - I'll be re-ordering this in a 32J. It was very comfortable, I like the styling on it, and liked the shape it gave me. I didn't seem to have an issue with empty space at the bottom of the cup with this bra like I've had with some others.
My only concern with this is that I did notice that the wires on it seemed to deform a bit - widening out when the band was done up.
I adore this bra and wear it whenever I can despite impending overflow. It is beyond comfy and truly beautiful. Alas, it is probably 2 cup sizes too small. My feeling is that it probably runs true to size, as it does fit better in the cup than the Thrill Me both in terms of size and shape. It is also slightly less impractical under clothing than the Thrill Me. The colorway is black with lemon (really more a light pastel yellow). Pros: killer shape, superior comfort, beautifully made. I do love the firm but stretchy band & 3 hooks. Not too high under arms. Cons: lumpy under almost everything. Straps are wide-set but that's part of the lift compromise.
Beautiful, sexy bra. Hard to wear under knits due to the rather large ruffle at the top of the cup. I thought this bra fit when I bought it, but I have come to realize that the cups are too small. Boobs escape out the sides. Not the bra's fault. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
I bought this bra after realizing that my 36G's were too big in the band. This one appears to also be too big in the band/small in the cup, and I'll be returning it. The bra itself was quite comfortable though - the fabric was soft (no scratchys!). The underwires weren't poking me anywhere.and the shape it gave was decent (minus the quadboob from too small a cup)
Have the Ivory and the Black...neither one fit correctly. They are to shallow for my shape. Good quality plunge bra, nice firm band and pretty details along cups.
My second try with the Curvy Kate line. Not the best fit for me. The cups are much to shallow for me and I get the weirdest flat look with a huge quadboob popping out of the bra. The black one I wore once for 4 hours...it was terrible! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I also have the Ivory, never worn only tried it on and it feels even worse. So since ordering these I now know (from the calculations on here) I am very deep and not so wide. Hope this helps anyone considering this line/style.
It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. the wires are a bit wide, and I can't quite get into the bottom of the cup. band fit is wonderfully snug, straps don't feel like they're going to fall off. good lift, nice shape, but I think I had better change my base size point to 34F/32FF when i order bras next.
There were loose threads on this bra and a small hole in the mesh. I'm still going to keep it.
Bought 28GG, 28H, and 30GG for comparison. (I'm normally a 30G or maybe 28GG.)
According to my results on Bratabase (pre-order) 28GG would be too small in the band and cups, 28H would be too small in the band but fit in the cups, and 30GG did not fit the owners, so no recommendation. (I also said 30FF would be too small in the band, but fit in the cups.
Update: The 28H ended up fitting me best. See my review for that size: http://bra.pe/RnT/. I find the band on the 28 could be smaller, so a 30 band was definitely too big.

Update: I wanted this bra for a really long time, with it's promise of "Marie Antoinette cleavage" or "cakes on a plate cleavage." However, on me, I found it rather unflattering. The bra just flattens me. The gore is too high and lays on top of my breast tissue, which is not comfortable. Because the gore lays on top of my breast tissue, it has a tendency to ride down.
I'd so wish it would fit me, but it doesn't. I recommend going down 1 band size from you usual band size (band is very stretchy) and go up at least 1-2 cupsizes from your usual bra size. Especially if you need much cup depth: size up. The cups are quite shallow. Shoulder straps are out of stretchy material and fully adjustable!
It is one of the comfiest bras I ever tried. When I used to fit into the Tease Me I would have slept in them. It's also a extremly pretty bra & it gives that spectacular Marie Antoinette cleavage https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> So if you are not out of the size chart, grab one !

3/5 Hearts (I have some complaints on quality on this one: the color of the ribbons got out when washing! Now there are some pink spots on the white shoulder straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />( So only put it very briefly in the water when you wash it! )
Same comments as for the 34FF: gorgeous, but cups too small. Band will roll under & cut in with wear. Ruffles show under everything. Smaller in the cup than the same size in the Tease Me and shape not quite as good for me. If the cups did fit such that my nipples didn't pop out, I think I'd be too squishy to make it look right. Lovely quality materials & workmanship. I have this in the fuschia/orange and coral-ish red/pink with charcoal colorways; both fit the same.
I bought a couple of these on eBay at the beginning of my braducation, and they are thrillingly pretty. Alas, they do run small in the cup. I have this one in the purple/turquoise and black/white; both colorways are sized the same. I have a couple of different colorways in 34G; those are also too small in the cup. I would likely need an H, but they simply don't look right under anything I've tried. I live in the southern US, so I don't wear a lot of heavy fabrics or thick layers to hide the bumps caused by the ribbons at the ...top of the cups. I saw one blogger's review showing that she'd resolved this problem by simply cutting the ruffles off. I would try that if it fit because the satin is lovely and the seams are nice and flush so it could be more wearable. The Tease Me is a better shape for me, and more practical. The bottom edge of the band rolls under and cuts into my fluffiness after a few hours. I saw a blogger's alteration wherein she'd stitched that section into place in an outward direction. Pros: Stunning. High quality materials. Cons: Runs small. Utterly impractical under most clothing. Read more 105 more words
Did any of the 3 fit?
