The band seemed a little tighter on this one and cups were a little small. The wire was a little wide for my shape. It would be a beautiful bra for someone.

Bottom of cup is very shallow, I measure 28D/DD and the bottom of my breast cannot fill the shallow bottom of the molded cup. I might need to size up. Because of this, bra slips down and bottom of underwire digs into my chest.
Cups are molded with a lot of projection at the front and center of the bra.Updated on Jul 31, 2013 Flag this

This is my first moulded t-shirt bra, and I'm in love! The shape is spot on and the band feels firm, but not too tight. Definitely not as stretchy as my other curvy kate's. The padding is minimal, which I'm happy about. I am full on bottom and had no issues with gaping at the top of the cup. I haven't tried the deco yet, so I can't say how they compare, but if you're looking for a good t-shirt bra, I would recommend this one.

I really wanted this bra to fit as I was trying to choose between the Smoothie and the Deco, and I think the Smoothie is more attractive (I love the animal print).
I tried the Smoothie in 30G, 32FF and 32G, and this one (32G) definitely fit best out of the three, but still wasn't quite right.
The band was okay on the loosest hook (I would prefer it a smidgen tighter for a new bra, but the 30 band had been very tight on me). The cups were roughly the right size.
However, I couldn't quite position the bra and my breasts to get more than two ... out of: tacking centre gore; filling the bottom of the cup; no overspill. I could have the bra lower on my chest and have a tacking centre gore, but leave space at the bottom of the cup. Or I could have the bra a bit higher, so my breasts filled the bottom of the cup, but the gore wouldn't tack. And in either position, it took a lot of swooping, scooping and adjusting to get a smooth line at the top of the cup (some combination of overspill and gapping was more common).
If the Smoothie had been really comfortable I probably would have accepted the fit problems, but it wasn't. And as the centre gore wasn't as low as the Deco (30GG) I was comparing it with, the Smoothie showed more under the low-cut dress I tried on with them.

I love the subtle animal print pattern and the bra is comfortable and attractive.
However, the centre gore doesn't lie flat and I have orange-in-a-glass at the bottom of the cup and quad-boob at the top. I will try a cup size up, but I think perhaps this bra is too shallow for my breasts.This bra is not owned any more

I should hate everything about this bra, and yet I don't! I love it!
First, this bra has crazy lift and forward projection. I feel like I have Joan Holloway's boobs in this bra. It's a bit more of a vintagey shape, but I like it! No fear for those who want a really round shape, though - first, it still gives nice roundness on the sides, and second, I've found that after several wearings it's started to conform more to the shape of my breast and look a bit rounder from the side.
Second, the moulded foam is RIGID! I usually like a soft memory ... foam, but this is a much more rigid foam that actually does sound a little like foam when it's squished. I usually hate that, but with this bra I don't care! I like that it's a really structured bra - sometimes you want that, and people in larger sizes need it. The band is firm, but doesn't feel too tight.
I've heard that this bra is better for full on top breasts, and I can see that, but it also works really well for my full on bottom breasts. I only get a little gaping on my smaller side, and even then, the bra is cut in such a way that the top egde is all but invisible under clothes. This bra makes my breasts look and feel great.

I like a new bra to fit on the first hook, giving me room to move on to the second and third hooks as it stretches out. While in a 32 band I already needed to fasten this bra on the second hook, the 30 band was very tight on the loosest hook. Like the 32FF, the 30G also gives me the orange-in-a-glass effect as well as quad-boob, and the gore doesn't lie flat. I plan to try the 32G.

I ordered this bra because I really needed a black bra that I could wear under anything, but it didn't work out. I measure 33 inches underbust and ordered this in a 32 band size, which nice and snug. The cups were very problematic. They were slightly too small, but the major problem was that the cups seemed to pull my breasts out to the side and slightly down. Not good. At all. This went back very quickly.

This bra has long wires and wide straps. It isn't very stretchy. It pokes at my armpits but that is because it doesn't fit right.
