the side support is great and the cup depth seems to be right but the top of the cup is wayyy too big. otherwise it’s a supportive bra that comes in some fun colours and has comfy fabric

got this bra off of vinted as it was discontinued ages ago and i'm pleased i got to try it.

the cups work well for my top fullness, giving a cakes on a plate effect far more than my comexim 3hc / ewa chp's. it isn't technically a good fit as it causes some quadboob/cleavage but i'm keeping it for that exact reason...! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Had been told CK run small in the band and usually take a 34, but 36 band far too big. Cups fit really well and felt comfortable, but made boobs look a bit pointy under clothes. They looked great just in the bra though!

this one is weird

i'm probably a touch not projected enough for this bra, i get the slightest wrinkling at the wire. the straps are extended to their longest for my low set chest; this is probably suited for someone petite. the straps are quite wide, with the high apex pressing into my armpit. the gore also digs in even though the width isn't bad.

the embroidery on the cups is quite visible under a tight shirt, which is a shame because i like the rounded shape it gives me. it doesn't press the sides in as much as some panache/cleo's do, giving a bit of roundness when viewed front on. the fabric is not very forgiving for slight shape differences.

i think i'll return it as the fit is just off somehow even thought it should be good on paper.

This bra is very cute. It is made of padded material and has two vertical seams. It is shallow but has enough immediate projection that I can get by. I have soft tissue and find better fits in bras more on the shallow side in my size range because of this. I need the compression in order to get the support I need. That said, I do need some immediate projection and this bra has almost enough.

While the bra doesn't quite follow my IMF (it is a good width, but just a bit too rounded on the bottom) it does sit closer than many other bras I've tried. ... It stays in place for the most part and I don't find I get any skin-on-skin contact nor folding at the bottom. The very underside of the wire (the most rounded part) is not filled out (in most all bras I try; I think my IMF is more flat at the bottom than almost all off-the-rack underwires) but it doesn't seem to compromise the fit in the way it does when combined with certain other fit issues like too-wide wires.

It is open enough on top for me (I am even fullness but have tall roots--although because I am a short person this means that functionally I have pretty average root height) but for anyone more full on top than me or who needs taller bras may find this either a) doesn't offer enough coverage (it is quite low cut--I would call it a half cup) or b) isn't quite open enough on top, as the very top edge does curve inward toward the chest somewhat.

This bra works very well under clothes and gives me a nice rounded shape. The seams do show through a tiny bit if your shirt is tight or very thin, but I don't find it noticeable most of the time.

I had to put the hooks in the tightest set and it started to fit better

I wanted to see how comfortable the bra was as a daily-wear bra, and so I wore it on a day that I wound up getting pretty sweaty. And whatever I did to it caused the coating to leave in the places you can see in one of my pictures.

That said, it was more comfortable as a daily bra than I was expecting. I was expecting more like the Scantilly by Curvy Kate Buckle Up bra, where the coating meant that it felt like wearing a shell, if worn for extended periods of time.

This is a fine daily bra, changes to the coating aside. And I do think I was rather rougher on this bra than people might normally be. And I still like the look of it, due to liking shiny silver things, and there's only so many space bras out there.

wow.... this bra is simply amazing. its one of my favorites! i wake up in the morning and i don't wanna take it off!! lol. fit is good, looks good, and quality is good. what more can i ask for??!!

Wires are FIRM. Like, super super FIRM. I know I can’t wear it as is. I know some people have switched out the wires on some bras and I would consider that idea, but the bra is also a little too wide set for me. By that I mean the gore is too wide and the cups are too far apart.

If it wasn’t for those too things (extra firm wires and wide gore) I’d probably be pretty happy with this strapless bra

The material is a bit scratchy. Band feels a little small, but it may be because the cup size was too small.

Received this bra second hand, and unfortunately the cups weren't quite my shape. Seems good for top fullness, which I have very little of. Otherwise the projection was good and the bra itself pretty confortable, but not something I'd wear often because the top of the cup sticks out in a t shirt.

Suuuuuuuper Cute!!! the fabric takes getting used to (its more like a tulle than a mesh) but when you do it feels fine. for my particular bewbs i believe this bra is a little less projected than i would like but it doesn't make it unwearable. (the way the cups feel on my skin make me feel like a shallow breast might even fare better?) the wires are a teeny tiny tad bit shorter than i like (rare) but i do not mind at all. anyway highly recommend this bra, its very cute!

It is completely sheer!

Updated on Jul 07, 2023 Flag this

It's a cute bra, though a bit more sheer than I was expecting. I like the subtle rose gold metal details and I wish it fit me. The band was too tight and I could barely get it on. The cups were somehow too small on one boob and too large on the other. I did appreciate that the wires did not seem too stiff and the gore was low. I have very narrow boobs so it was still a little wide for me, but not uncomfortably.

I followed advice for this top to size up a cup, which was perfect. I got a 28ff, and the band was perfect for my 26 inch underbust. The cups were too close for my boobs, but this is my first well fitting bikini. It stayed on great in the water and hasn’t faded.

The construction of this 4-part balconette is scaled reasonably at my size (40:6) immediately outside of the core size range.
The listed measurements were taken from the beige colorway as manufactured (unaltered).
The teal colorway runs taller/bigger but is also long discontinued so likely won't impact your purchasing decisions.
Whatever colorway you consider, this is a full-coverage, tall balconette best suited for slight FoB - Even - FoT breasts with average to tall roots.
[My FoB breasts that lose upper volume with weight loss is why I reduced the cup height (the stretch lace top section) by ~1.75" in Teal and ~1" in Beige]
The winning ... feature of 40E - Curvy Kate » Victory Balcony (9001) is its simple yet modern seamed cup design that is truly INVISIBLE under clothes in basic Black and Latte and also juicy saturated colors like Teal, Turquoise, Ultraviolet, Navy, Claret, Pink.
The band is a firmer TTS.
The partially sheer to sheer mesh fabric is appealing and gives solid lift and rounded shape, with the bonus STRETCH mesh upper cup section that accomodates breast volume fluctuations and asymmetry. This type of fabric is a slight compromise in comfort that is reasonable for me.
The cups are reasonably deep and work well for my malleable soft tissue. But it is no match for the projected superbra of 4-part UK balconettes that is Panache Jasmine Balconnet Bra (6951) or Sculptresse Chi-chi Full Cup Bra (7695) or any of their clones which I've collected and listed amongst My Bras.
The wires seem standard for Curvy Kate, as far as I can tell.

I will edit later after some wears, but from immediate try on I found that this bra is actually too close set for me (I'm relatively wide set - 2-3 fingers apart), and a little too projected for me (I am on the shallower side). The cups are a little too small, although that could be a shape mismatch too, as when I scoop and swoop I find that there just isn't enough room for my boobs. This doesn't show as quadding, as the cups do not have enough stretch to even cover the boob (thanks to another review for that sentence!).

The band is snug; I am ... usually a 28DD and although I know it should be snug on first wear, and it is black which will affect the size, I couldn't even imagine going a band smaller on this. (Not that it comes in a smaller band, I believe 30D is the smallest size, but still).

If you're somewhat close set & average projection, I think this bra would work great for you. Do consider maybe sister sizing up a band, and possibly even a cup too.
