What a pretty, sexy bra. Too bad it's too small in the cups for me. I feel like the cups are wide and the wires go out towards under my arm. It does provide great round cleavage though. The band runs about one size big for a 30". It's a gorgeous color scheme.
I'm not sure what to think about this bra. It seems like the same style as @Romance and Ella that I really like but something about the style doesn't work on me. It seems at the top the lace is more frilly than functional and kind of bugs me. Otherwise it is very similar to those other two.
I tried this bra in a 32G and am glad I've tried the next cup size up. It's a very comfortable bra that I could see become by day to day bra. I didn't notice any fit issues myself.
I wanted to love this bra. The scarlet is a gorgeous (and often elusive) shade of red that is perfect for my skin tone, I'm still a bit iffy on the leopard part, and the construction on this bra dominates in quality over the other bras using this base (the Elegance and Tempt Me).
Pros: The construction quality (though possibly a fluke on this one bra) is impeccable--and I'm a seamstress, so I'm pretty picky about that sort of thing. Very comfortable* Pushup for those of us who aren't B cups (and I need it cuz my boobs HATE each other)! Has 3 hooks (in GG+) Low center gore for us petite and prominent ...sternum types (I'm both). Note: The center gore on this bra is not only low, but it's really close together (the underwire channeling is actually touching), so if you have close-set boobs, you might really like this one.
Cons: * Earlier I said it was comfortable, and this is true...to an extent. If you are of the narrow shoulder, narrow chest variety (if I measure from armpit to armpit across my chest I'm just a smidge under 12" wide--that's 30cm for you metric gals) you will HATE this bra. The straps will start under your armpit and will try to twist out of it--it's hard to describe, but you'll know it if you have it. Other than that, the bra is comfortable.
The band isn't as stretchy as others of this base (Tempt Me/Elegance). Don't plan to buy a band a couple of sizes smaller than normal (like you might in other Showgirl bras) or you might get a nasty surprise.
I had some of that "orange in a glass" thing with this bra. I'm not sure what causes that, and didn't really understand it until I bought this round of bras, but all of them using this base and in this size did it. I would have happily ignored it if the straps weren't so darned uncomfortable though. Read more 214 more words
OK, here's the deal. I have a way too small (but much adored) Curvy Kate Tempt Me, so while they were still available, I decided to get a couple of the bras based on that style. The Elegance and Wild are both one of those where all they changed was the color and the lace and called it a new name.
Anyway, here's the deets:
Pros: Same fit as the Tempt Me Pushup for those of us who aren't B cups (and I need it cuz my boobs HATE each other)! Comfortable* Has 3 Hooks (in GG+) Minimal embellishment** Low center gore for us petite and prominent sternum types (I'm both).
Cons: * Earlier I said it was ...comfortable, and this is true...to an extent. If you are of the narrow shoulder, narrow chest variety (if I measure from armpit to armpit across my chest I'm just a smidge under 12" wide--that's 30cm for you metric gals) you will HATE this bra. The straps will start under your armpit and will try to twist out of it--it's hard to describe, but you'll know it if you have it. Other than that, the bra is comfortable.
** I also said it had minimal embellishment. This is also true, BUT the lace is a thicker lace, and it WILL show under tighter or lightweight shirts because the little loopies will bend or whatever. However, it is easy enough to remove if it's the only thing holding you back from loving this bra.
The two cons mentioned above are why I'm not keeping it. I also have a bit of that "orange in a glass" effect that I didn't really understand until now, but I could (and would!) have ignored it if it weren't for the straps being set impossibly wide. Read more 178 more words
Finally a bra that didn't cut into my breasts at the top! It was really nice to wear the first time, and after a little while I couldn't feel it, except for the straps where they are attached to the cups. It was quite painful after a while, since they dig into my arm/armpit. I think this will get better with wearing and washing. I don't really wear bras every day at the moment (due to long term illness) so I'm probably easier made uncomfortable by bras. After wearing for 6 hours and sitting down a lot, the fabric was kind of scratchy at the back and the bottom ...of the wire. I also think this will be better after a few washes. I haven't had any insane shoulder pain like I usually have with my ill fitting bras. The shape is nice, not too pointy. I would prefer an even rounder shape, but it looks totally fine with this one https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
EDIT: The straps/wings that cut at my armpit/arm, is quite painful. It really is the only issue with the bra. I am going to try wearing it with an extender, as that might help since its really tight. I'm also looking into altering it (from the strap to the wire) by shortening the height by just 1/2 a centimetre. If I sort of fold that part a bit, I experience no discomfort, but as it can't stay folded on its own, I might sew it. I think it's mostly an issue because I'm overweight, and have some fat in that area (well, in most areas really!) and because I'm just really sensitive https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Edit no 2: the band feels wrong. It slides down in the front and I think my boobs look too east west. I haven't altered it yet, but I might. I'm thinking about just selling it though. I haven't really worn in much and it looks fine, so it's a shame that its just lying around. Read more 234 more words

Very pretty with shoulder straps rather far apart. A year ago, I would have claimed the 32GG fit since the quad boob isn't too bad and could just be considered nice cleavage. But now ... yeah, it's too small in the cups. *Sigh*
I got this bra on sale from breakoutbras. I read the reviews on it and saw a lot of people said it ran large in the cup and small in the band so I stepped up from my normal 30H that I wear in most Panache and Freya. Overall, I like this bra. I am wearing it right now. It is a good work bra. It is stable and keeps everything in, it is bouncy but still supportive--- However, it leans toward a half cup and it is RIGHT on the verge of having my nipples pop out- but the frilly fabric on the cups just keeps them ...in. Also the straps are adjustable but they have a lot of Stretch in them, so you might have to readjust them midday as they tend to slip, stretch out. I could probably do with a tighter band as well.
Bra would be great if I had ordered it in "the correct" or a different size but it was my first CK bra and I was trying them out, again on the nonreturnable deal from breakoutbras.
I want to try more of the CK line. Read more 83 more words
Low underwires that don't poke at center or under arm, but the material comes up so high on my chest that there's quadraboob, but not because of cup size, but because I'm full on top, so I think that this is a shape incompatibility for me, instead of a size issue.
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 exacerbates back fat (I recommend a shaping tank)
I do like this bra. and much like the tempt me bra by curvy Kate, I recommend going down a band size and therefore up a cup size. I need a larger cup size anyway, so I would try a 30HH or 30J in this bra. LOVELY bra though, well made, soft materiall
I like the feel of the bra even though i feel like the cups were to small and the band was too big. Go down a band size and up one or two cup sizes would be my recommendation for pretty much anyone, especially those with smaller ribcages anyway. It is made really well and is comfortable despite it being cut very low. I would not recommend this bra to anyone who has very full on top breasts, you will spill out more than others.
Curvy Kate showgirl collection looks stunning. The "thrill me" is a vertical three-sections half-cup, it gives a great lift and an awesome cleavage. The ribbon is beautiful but is definitely seen through a t-shirt. The colours look better in real life than on pictures - mine is blue with plum, even though I usually dislike blue underwear.
The fit, though. At first, it was perfect: support, uplift, well-fitted. However, it stretched VERY quickly (bought in july, worn occasionnally since, now I have to put it on the tightest hook and it's still too loose), and the wire are too long for me, they poke uncomfortably in the underarm. So now, it's a bedroom only item.
