It's very pretty bra, I own it in fashion colour Raspberry. The cups are slightly too small, but a 28E was too big.

115 bras

my shape: even/slightly fob, shallow, wide root, close set.
my first time ordering a non-bra-matrix bra that's not 3 band sizes too big. the gore tacks and the band doesn't ride up.

unfortunately that's about all the positives. this bra definitely did not suit my shape - there was so much empty space in the cup's bottom and center, and the top of the cup cut me off. definitely too fob and projected for me.

also the wires were so uncomfortable for my ribcage. which is interesting, because other reviews say that the wires are super comfortable for them. i think the small cup size is exacerbating the pain that the wires cause me.

Well, this bra is really nice, but is too projected and too closed on top for me... It's very nice though, even with my hatred of leopard print. Seems like a good quality bra too.

This bra is great for FoB but BAD for my short roots. The cups are tall and very closed on top, which makes me wonder who can wear this--the person who can wear this cannot have typical tall roots (will cut in) or typical short roots (cup will be too tall), so maybe average root height? And her breasts have to be extremely full on top and bottom, but there has to be a significant distinction between breast and chest at top, maybe like implants? Perhaps it is just scaled all wrong in my size and the shape is better in a different size? Looking at the pictures, I also think Curvy Kate may have redesigned the bra because the SS2013 pictures look much more open on top. I don't think the current version of 28DD will fit anyone.

Super tight band, definitely needed to size up.

My second curvy Kate bra. Went abit crazy after I got the starlet which I love.

This is defo a cute little purple one with intricate detailing. Fits well although underwires dig in slightly. Also slight quad boob on left side but okay on right!

Overall I still love this bra but will update you if the situation changes once I start wearing it out! 😉

This bra is okay. The fit is not bad, but not great either. The main issue is that the top of the cup is quite closed and therefore cuts into the top of my tissue. I'm not sure if this would be solved by going up a cup size of not (I think not). The centre gore is also rather painful after a couple of hours. The band is very firm. If you're a true 28, I would suggest sizing up. I do love the raspberry colour however. I also like the uplifted look that this bra gives.

My boobs are slightly too projected for this bra, even though they are shallow. The wire doesn't like to sit right at the root, there is a flat bit of cup above it before my tissue starts, and even when I hike it up it tends to migrate back down. It does a good job of encompassing my tissue on the side, which is an improvement over the 28DD - Cleo » Juna (6461) . The straps, like many other Curvy Kate bras, are much thicker than necessary for small sizes.

If you're a 28E, order a 28E, the 'cups run large' thing seems to apply to the larger sizes only???

Apart from that: the band is comfy, and I think this one will work in a larger size for me!

The size 8 briefs were a tad too large in the front and fine in the back.
