This was too big. It really does run big in the band. I measure 33 inches, and usually go for a 32 band though that's pretty tight. But this one really was big. I'll be exchanging for a 30 band. I didn't find that the cups run small like other people say. A 32GG is often a bit tight in the cups, and since everyone recommends going one or two cups sizes up in this, I did that. But it's at least 2-3 cup sizes too big. I'm sending it back and going to try a 30H instead (what Bradar keeps suggesting). I hope that will work since I really love this style.
I can't decide what's wrong with this bra. It should be the right size, but it doesn't look good. In profile my boobs look a tiny bit droopy - and I HATE THAT. There's a bit of quadraboob effect as well with my bigger boob, but not noticiably unless I draw my shoulders back. The bra feels comfortable and supportive on, no chafing or anything. A great bra, then. It even looks very pretty. But the profile... I keep finding myself peering into every reflective surface I pass, wondering if my boobs look sad.
I really like this bra. It is my first from Curvy Kate and now I am really tempted to explore their other styles!
I got this one in azure/plum. I tried this bra in 32H and 32HH to test the sizing and found that the 32H was just barely too small. I got a tiny bit of quadraboob, but the ruffles actually hid it well. The 32HH fits perfectly!
One thing I didn't like too much is the band. It is very stretchy compared to my Freya bras. I found that I needed to use the 2nd set of hooks in order for it to fit comfortably.
I absolutely love this bra! The style, the uplift... perfect! The only downside is this bra is essentially only useful for the bedroom. Because of the ruffles, this bra doesn't look right under clothes. I'm still quite happy with it and will keep the one I have!
