It fits! Great bra for wide, full on bottom breasts. This one is a better fit for me than the Freya Deco.
At the moment I have ever so slight quadboob on the left, has something to do with beginning to be near that time, but it will be a perfect fit in a week. Right boob fits.
I know many people prefer to wear the Tease Me for "special occasions" but I must confess that it's an everyday bra for me. I just love wearing it. It doesn't work well with thin summer tops because of the lace but everything else is fair game.
As many people have noted, the Tease Me doesn't have the tightest band on the block. Indeed, it's the first 28" bra I own that I have to start on the second hook. The first one feels too lose.
Strap placement is great for my narrow shoulders. I never feel them slipping. They're also fully adjustable and that's always a plus.
Since I also ...have a 30DD and it fits kind of good in the cups, I admit I was a bit worried that the 28F would be too big. While the package was on its way to me, I wondered several times if I'd made the right choice. As it turns out, I did make the right choice. It's the correct size and the cups are filled properly. I know many people find that the cups run small, but I haven't found that to be the case on me.
The only thing is that I don't get as much cleavage as I do with my 30DD. No biggie though.
The other (temporary) downside is that the lace is still too stiff to lie properly against my boobs and is thus visible under thin clothing. A problem that will disappear with wearing and washing.
Otherwise, the Tease Me is a great padded-half cups. It offers goos support, a great rounded shape and manages to do it while looking stunning.

The cups are a bit stretchy and very soft. Great low/wide cut for wearing with halter tops. The cup separation is too much for me however, so I spill out a little toward the centere. Neither the seams or fabric pattern can be seen through even very thin tops. The band is accurate, yet stretchy, which works for me since I prefer to wear the bands a little looser for halter necks. Since the cups are so soft, wearing it as a strapless is not an option. In general I would prefer the cups to be a bit more firm. I LOVE that the straps are so wide because unlike average width straps, when worn as a halter neck, it actually feels comfortable and supportive without flipping, twisting, or cutting into you!
I really like this bra, the lacy top section doesn't cut into tissue at all. I get some slight wrinkling in the lace but I think this looks worse than it is do the lace extending over the edge seam of the cup. Wires are very comfy and it gives a much more flattering shape thats fairly rounded and not very east/west compared to other non padded Curvy Kates https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
A new replacement for my Curvy Kate Entice (SG1601) in 28DD, which was too small in the cups. Surprisingly enough, the band on this one feels much firmer, which is simply wonderful (I remeasured 3 times 'cus I couldn't believe my eyes; I need to pull fairly hard to get it to 70cm). Perhaps I've gotten very lucky?
Other than that, the 28E fits excellent, I'd certainly recommend this one for shallow, full on bottom breasts.
Aesthetics: padded seamed cups, beige fabric base, overlaid with a sheer pattern and vertical black embroidery resembling columns of butterflies. There are also two black satin ribbons on each cup over the seams and black lace along the tops of the cups and along the bottom of the band. There is a beige satin and black lace ribbon bow at the top of the center gore. There is a triangle of satiny fabric topped with another beige satin and black lace ribbon bow extending about 3 inches up the strap, covering where the strap is attached to the cup (facing outward). I like it, but it does peek ...out of strappy/sheer tops.
Fit: I love it. Usually. The cups are shallow and the wires are very tall, suiting my tall boobs very well. I have low-set boobs and always have boob/armpit fat escaping from the cups, so this bra supports and lifts very well. I can definitely see it poking/rubbing someone with short/high-set boobs in the armpits, though. The band is stretchy, so I wish I could order down, but I'll just alter it when it starts to annoy me.
When I'm retaining water, I get the weird smashed boob "shelf" that projected shapes get, where my boobs are pushed up and spill out of the top in the weirdest way. Read more 111 more words
Love this bra, seems to cut in slightly more on the inside than the tempt me does but still very wearable. Downside.. Tissue migration means I've already outgrown the cups. If you have a lot of lower projection, you'll definitely have to size up as the cups are shallow. Works pretty well for me but I get a small amount of buckling at the bottom of the cup.
The wires and center gore were very painful, digging in to me with much force. The look of the bra, in Black/Gold was nice, but in the end this one was far too painful for me to keep. It's been a while since I had this one, but I don't think the Black/Gold differs much from the Ivory/Gold.
A bra that fits my shallow shape quite well, aside from the stretchy, loose band. I'm not a huge fan of the colour combo, but it does give a nice shape, though there isn't as much uplift as with the 28DD - Curvy Kate ยป Entice (SG1601) . I do get painful digging in from the center gore, not sure why.
A simple but nice looking bikini, unfortunately too wide on my small frame. Band feels decent enough, and it offers very little coverage, even though the cups feel quite big for a 28DD, more 28E. If you want more coverage, you may want to size up.
This bra is a 3-piece style, with 3 rows of 3 columns of hooks. The straps are fully adjustable.
I got the Gia in Seafoam from another bratabaser, as I keep deluding myself into thinking that I can get a good fit in Curvy Kate bras. This colourway is the new cut for larger cup sizes, and while better than styles I have tried in the past, it's still too wide for me and too shallow in the centre.
I love the colour of the bra, and also the detailing of a small ruffle near the clasps in fabric which matches the top section of the bra cup.
The material of ...the band is very stretchy! It actually sits flat on me, despite the fact that in an ideal world I'd wear a 26 band. However, it has no real purchase whatsoever, so it doesn't provide any support.
I've indicated that the straps don't adjust to be short enough, though to be honest that's hard to gauge as the side of the bra cups is too high under my arms. I have a lot of excess width at the side of the cups, and not enough space in the centre, so I quad out of the cups.
I'm not sure if the fabric for this particular bra was faulty or poor quality, but after minimal wear, the powermesh has puckered up, like a bra which has been used for a very long time.
Overall, I'd say that the new CK cuts have the same kind of shaping as the old ones, with a wire width which is comparable to Panache superbra. Read more 157 more words
Big in the cups - it was too big when my usual size was a 30JJ, and is now too small at a 30KK. It was also quite firm in the band - I'd say it fits like a tight 30K or loose 28KK. The gore is quite wide, the straps are ridiculously long - they need altering to adjust short enough. It's very, very tall under the armpits, and it's quite square at the back - the wings taper to the band very fast, so the straps can come off my shoulders quite easily. That said, it's still pretty good. Appearance-wise it's lovely, and the shape is better than I've gotten in most of the CK unpaddeds.
A lovely, gorgeous bra, that's sadly too small for me (I usually hover between 28DD & 28E- an E is def. needed in this case). The band is very stretchy, you may want to size down if you can. Cups run true to size. The shape is very uplifting, and the cups are great for shallow breasts.
Currently my most comfortable bra. In a 30J, It gives a natural tear-drop shape, and keeps my breasts close to my body without having them up front and under my chin (which is good for other days!). There is a very, very slight east-west shaping going on, but it's definitely not as apparent as in other large-cup Curvy Kate fabric bras, and it's unnoticeable under clothing. I could actually size up in the cups to improve the shape, but I'm afraid the wires would be much too wide, and more painfully, too tall; they already cut into both my breast bone and my breast tissue on either side ...of the gore. There just isn't any room that high up. I've temporarily fixed this by folding the underwires together (like closing a book) to form a 'v', and if necessary I'll sew them permanently into that position. Right now, the material used for the gore/wire channels is stiff enough to stay put on it's own.
The underwires at the sides aren't too tall exactly, but the cups are--they dig into my underarms where they attach to the straps, which are widely placed. This is most likely a problem I'll have with most bras, however, due to having a short torso (along with being pretty short in general) and narrow shoulders. Hopefully the cups will soften with wear, but either way, the irritation is minor and not enough to put me off the bra for good.
Aside from this, the Emily is comfy and supportive. It has three hooks and eye enclosures as per standard, wide wings, and a band that runs true to size. There is some embroidery along the bottom edge of the gore, which is pretty without being scratchy, irritating, or noticeable at all when it's on. The straps are fully adjustable, and I think the hooped edging detail along the straps keeps the sliders from slipping out of place. The embroidery at the top of the cup lifts away slightly when I move my arms forward, but I think that has to do with my being full-on-bottom. Otherwise, the mesh upper-section of the cup does a pretty good job conforming to my shape. The blush embroidery also catches light pretty easily, so you might sparkle somewhat under particularly thin tshirts. Read more 273 more words
This is my favorite bra I own currently. It's incredibly comfortable, the shape is nice, and since it's a plunge I have no issues with the gore. The only issue I have is the straps get irritating where they hit (basically in my armpit) but it's not enough to stop wearing it.
