This is my second go at the Princess, also having had a 30J before a little weight loss. It was acceptably comfy for me, but not fabulous. I love the round, full shape that it gives to my breasts, with plenty of lift. The band stretched quite quickly (though I will admit I love having my bra back super tight), so it rapidly travelled from the loosest hook to the tightest. Underwires came up a little high at the sides, leading to occasional poking. I found the cute polka-dots to be a bit of a downfall, as they tend to be quite obvious underneath many of the tops that I wore.

I think the change in my bodyshape made a style that was good into a style which was just okay.

This bra is too small. 34F (in scarlet) looks a bit big, but this one is about 2 cups smaller than 34F! Cups are really shallow. I think that there is some difference between color variants, but unfortunately I'm not able to buy gold in 34F.
The gold/black combination is not vulgar like scarlet/black. The design is great, I really love it!
I've returned this bra in July 2012.

The band is stretchy, but not as crazy as some of the other Showgirls I’ve tried on, so I started with a 32, although the 30 may work better now. The cups are three-part padded foam, and the seams are covered up on the front with the lace overlay, nicely done!

Unfortunately, the bottom of the cup is extremely shallow, so my breasts, which are bottom-heavy, leave an empty space there. This pushes them up some so that they do not use the entire cup of the bra, and more distressingly, pop out at the top. I had heard this bra runs small, so I ordered ... a cup size up (32GG). Obviously too small: I didn’t fill the bottom, but overflowed the top. I returned it for a size two up (32H), and I didn’t pop out quite as much, but the bra was still too small across the top of the cup, and there was the dreaded fabric fold on the bottom. I’ve seen this in other pictures, and I wonder if it’s a necessary evil to get that cleavage. In any case, I gave up and didn’t get a size up (32HH), because I didn’t think the under-fold would go away. This problem did not go away with wears/washes.

I don’t recommend jumping around in this bra, but it works decently if your day doesn’t involve a bunch of running. The bra not working with my shape and not giving enough support may have corrupted my data, though.
It’s really a shame I didn’t have any luck with this shape- apparently Curvy Kate’s Elegance continuity line and Wild for this fall also use the same construction. I recommend you size up, and don’t get your hopes up for this bra if you are full on the bottom.

I decided to try a size up from the 30F since that one was too small for me and I've heard that those who are full on top should size up. This one is more accommodating, but there's extra space on my smaller side and I do have some wrinkling on my larger side. The band is nice and firm as well.

Shape wise, I think it's uplifting but it made my boobs look, not really pointy, but longer which I didn't find very flattering. Doesn't really fit my shape which is too bad because I really like the look of this bra.

This bra is so cute! A lot of people mentioned the need to go up a cup size (or two) and down a back size in this bra. I'm so glad I did as it fits perfectly.

beautiful bra! fits pretty comfortably but the centre gore starts to dig a bit after wearing the bra for more than 6 hours.

Love the look of the bra, its pretty comfortable too, its just too small (got the quadraboob thing going on).

Pretty bra, comes up a touch too high in the armpits so it rubs just slightly by the end of the day. Still very comfortable though. It doesn't hoik your boobs up to your chin, if that's what you're looking for, but it is supportive and gives a natural, rounded kind of shape.

Great fit and very comfortable. Band is stretchy,my band measurement is 38 I just wish it came in larger cups sizes as I would think a H cup might fit better but I am going to keep this one as I love it

In Freya Deco, my ideal size would be 28GG if made, however I can juuuust squeeze into 28G, since I've read the cups run large in that bra. With the Daily Boost, I read that the cups run small, so went up from a possibly ideal 28GG to 28H. The cups and straps were both far too wide for my shape, and the long underwires reached really high under my arms, and especially the top outside of the cup under my arms. Back size was good - I have a 26in underbust and the 28 back fit very snug on the loosest hook but not uncomfortable. Even if the cups had fit me, it was giving me the same shape as the pictures above, so I returned.

This bra is just so sexy and classy, how can you say no? I have said YES 5 times lol https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
Here is the breakdown:

Pros:
Sexy
Enhances/good lift
Padding is just right: not hot, no headlights
Materials are comfortable
width of bra strap is just right
no poking/pinching/jabbing/creaking

Cons:
Straps set too wide
ruffles at top show through almost everything

I'm starting to get confused by my curvy kate size. I thought this bra fit well for the first couple days, but then realized that it gives my boobs a sad shape. Then I realized my nipples (which aren't particularly high set on my breasts at all) sit right in the middle of the sheer section, flattening the top of my cheat. I think going a cup up to a 28J would be perfect, but i'm not sure. I think for the emily to fit me well I need to make sure my notes sit more our less on the seam, or else the fullest part of my breast will be getting flattened by the top section. This is a problem I've been having ever since losing track of my size, and I can't tell what my cup size is going to be.

This is my first ever Curvy Kate bra and it is LOVELY.
Fits me well, is comfortable and quite sexy. I must say though, it is QUITE sheer, so may not be for all girls. I love this.
Not too much stretch in the band to start with and originally I tried the 36J but it felt too tight in the band (perfect in the cup), the straps are thinner than I am used to, but very comfortable and quite sexy. A lovely bra.

Originally very comfortable and supportive, the bra stretches out quite a bit over time.
It's very cute and shapes the breasts nicely.

Love this bra,pushes boobs out and up and to the front, a little small in cup ordering a GG cup

I really wanted this bra to fit me well, because it's so pretty! It seems to be a well-made bra, too. In spite of the fact that it doesn't fit me properly, I've been wearing it somewhat regularly for several months, and it's held up to wearing and washing very well. It still looks brand new.

On the other hand, the cups of this bra are way too shallow and wide for me (when I "scoop," I have quad-boob and empty space at the outer side of the cups; after a bit of wear, the cups gape at the center gore and I have overflow near the strap area). ... The band is also way, way too large and stretchy for me (which could also be contributing to the problem with the cups). I had to fasten it on the tightest hook from the first wear, and even then, I can stretch the band two fists worth away from my back.

I think it's a lovely bra, but (as with most of the Curvy Kates I've owned in sizes ranging from 28DD-F) the fit just isn't right for me.

Had to return this one - it was a bad fit. The cups were too small for a start but also the wrong shape. I made the same mistake with the CK Angel which was a better size but still the wrong shape. My boobs are very tear-drop shaped and bottom-heavy, they just don't seem to work with CK styles like these. The band is also clearly too big.

On the plus side, it is a lovely looking bra and well made. If you can buy it in the right size it would be a great addition to your underwear draw.

Another issue was the centre gore which dug into my skin so hard it left a bruise!

Pros:
Pretty fabric and pattern
Nice colour contrast (the pink is very bold though)
Well made and good quality materials
Good for top-heavy boobs and those that fit well into CK and Freya styles

Cons:
Not good for bottom-heavy boobs
The band is rather loose
Not good for
Very painful centre gore
