This bra makes fantastic breasts. I love it. I feel comfortable and sexy with this bra. Color looks red on pictures, but in daylight it's hue of pink (sometimes pictures may tell lies).

I've no less than 4 Emily bras, so you can tell it's one of my favourites! The black, white, and red (Flame) I have in 30F, and they all fit excellent. Nice and round, and giving a good cleavage. Fits my closely set breasts perfectly! Very comfortable to wear, too, with no digging in and no itching. Some of the prettiest bras i own, highly recommended!

I have the Chocolate/Aqua colour in 30E, and the cups are a little bit too small, but not more so than I'm using it right now. I've added separate measurements for that bra.

Another bra I love. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Super cute & very comfortable!
This is my first Curvy Kate bra. I read another bra which suggested to order a band size down and I'm glad I did. I have this bra on the loosest band but it's still a comfortable fit and gives room for the bra to stretch over time.
Since I ordered down a band size I also ordered up 2 cup sizes (following the down a band size, up a cup size rule of thumb) as another review had suggested that the Curvy Kate cup sizes run small. Another suggestion I'm glad I took! Fits just right.
Not a bra for everyday t-shirt use but definitely special.

This bra is beautiful and generally comfortable. The band is VERY stretchy, the cups are generous, and the wires are not too high in the armpit area. In general this is a great everyday bra!

Probably the most beautiful bra I own. I have found that Curvy Kate seems to run about one cup size small, relative to Freya, for me anyway.

I believe there was a manufacturing error in this bra when I received it. The ribbon on the right cup was too short for the cup, so when I put it on, it pulled taut over my breast, creating a very, very strange shape. I have since altered the bra by cutting the ribbon and extending it, and now the cup fits perfectly. I knocked some points off for quality because of the error. Now that the bra has been altered and fits properly, it is one of my favorites. It gives a lovely round shape. The lace is slightly visible under fitted tees, but it's not too bad.

This is the Thrill me in black/white. I ordered it, because the 30GG was too big and the other 30G listed here in cobalt fits perfectly. But this colour seems to be bigger than the cobalt (I must say, I really hate that, when a colour is bigger or smaller than the other, but it's very often like that), so I also will send it back, and order a cobalt in 28GG or something like that.
The band is the same as in 30GG and smaller than the cobalt.

Overall, this is a good bra. The material is maybe not quite as nice as on Freya or Fantasie bras, but it also didn't cost as much. Underwires run narrow (great for me). Be aware that the band is *very* stretchy--I have this fastened on the 2nd set of hooks, and could maybe have gotten away with a 28.

This bra is not owned any more

I can get slight wrinkling at the top of the cups, especially on the right side. I fill the bottom and the sides of the cup just fine but, once again, the top has slight gapping. I feel like this is another bra that's better for full on top breasts. I'm full on bottom and just can't seem to find a bra that works for my shape and provides enough lift.

I get slight quad boob effect on my left breast, which is the larger one. The right breast seems to fit perfectly fine within the cup. I fill the bottom of the cups just fine, but I feel like the underwire doesn't sit low enough? If I lift my arms up I can see some slight underboob, I think it's sitting just above where it should be? Overall it doesn't feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't feel as good as it could do. I need more lift and support also and this bra does not lift my boobs very well. If I were to tighten the straps it would just make them dig into my shoulders more, and they already kind of do that. The back also rides up slightly too.

The cups are too tall and cuts into my armpits. I also get major quadraboob on my left boob. The fitter say I was quadding a little bit and said it was an acceptable amount. She lied! After I wear it for a while, it's not a little, it's a ton of quadraboobing!

The gore touches my sternum, which almost never happens. I usually wear band 28, but I'm wearing a band 30 here because CK bands run firm. Something on the back of this bra makes my skin itchy, so I have to wear a cotton bra liner underneath the band so it doesn't irritate my skin

The underwire is a little too wide, but not uncomfortable.

My alterations:
Originally the top side of the cup was cutting into my armpit, so I lowered the cup height. I also moved the bra straps towards the inside a bit. This makes my armpits feel better.
Don't worry, my photos of this bra are from before I altered it!

This is probably my best fitting bra after the alteration and bra liner.

Altered straps, Moved straps inwards. Lowered side cup height so it stops digging into armpit

Band runs snug, which I like. Great fit, tall cup, good separation, it's not a cleavage situation, you're not going to fall out of this one. The color is a dark plum and lighter plum, which is nice as I don't trend too girly. The tankini material covers the swim bra like a bandeau top, no real indent in the center of the bust. Straps are not bra elastic type straps, it's just folded over swimsuit material so they are much softer and gentler than the usual which is great for swim. The hook and eye back is a slight learning curve in a tankini, just connect it ... from below after you've put the entire thing on correctly. If you usually put things on upside down and rotate them good luck bc I couldn't figure it out! Works just fine if you can reach your middle back. I believe all new CK models use bikini clasps which is good bc easier but not so good if you are a fan of shrugging or stretching, I've slingshotted a few right off in my time. This one will stay on even if you don't clasp it, it's just nice to have the extra support from the hooks and eyes. Very nice swimsuit material, it should hold up for a long time, the bra is black mesh, no padding, so will dry fast which is nice. You could easily add pads if you wanted, or cut ones out of a cheap swim top to put in. It's truly a very nice swimsuit and I'm extremely glad to have it!

Too much separation and extends past silhouette. Cups kind of collapse at bottom. TONS of back rolls.

Expands too far past silhouette, but fits ok otherwise. Lots of back rolls.

this swimsuit fits me great! bought NWT from poshmark, it fits me as someone who usually wears size M (both in tops and bottoms). i will say that it may not fit someone who has a longer torso than i do (my neck-to-crotch is ~63cm/25 inches).

Amazing bra but in the wrong size. I have tall roots and wide roots find this style comfortable in the right size and the boost is incredible

CK says that this bra is “designed with a lower cut cup for a compressive feel” and to size up if you want more coverage. As I'm constantly between a 30GG & H, I ordered the H ... and I see what they mean, lol. A 30HH would've been great for my larger side to get that full coverage, but the coverage is still good, and I still feel very supported despite a bit of that “push-up” effect they describe.

Would I do 50 jumping jacks in this? Yeah, maybe not, but I wouldn't prefer to do it in anything else. It's a soft cup, which solves basically ... all the issues I've had with severe shape mismatch Panache spacer fabric and Freya molded cups in their respective wired sports bras.

The wires are pretty soft and cushioned, meaning so far this is the only bra with a ≥5cm gore I've ever had that I can wear casually without pain from pressing into my symmastia. Re: shape, the wires are too wide for me to have a great technical fit, but again they're soft, and it's a sports bra. A less than perfect technical fit is tolerable in that case for me.

And finally, holy wide straps, cushiony wide band, and 4-hooks—HUZZAH! I feel strapped in with all the weight equally distributed. No comment on J-hooks because it's not my preference, but they seem to work just fine, albeit not adjustable with height.

I’ve seen this bra recommended a lot for projection, but I guess it’s a really poor fit for me despite that. My sternum has been so sore and hurting for much longer than I even wore the bra. Gore is too high for sure
