Normally wear 34HH in past Curvy Kate plunges.
straps too wide set- my frame is much smaller, cups too separate- I didn't realize the center front closer was over an inch and a half wide! wires sit on my mid-side and Im also falling out the middle quite a bit. I think the cups are the right size, but set far too far east/west leasding to space in the part of the cups on the side and me falling out the middle. The closure is rather annoying to clip and twists unconfortably instead of sitting parallel to the band (Even with plenty mroe stretch in the band. Closure is ... also not adjustable at all for when the bra streches out (like a bathing suit closure). Again, the bottom of cup is not fully filled because some of it is on my side, not where my boobs roots are- the wire is over 4 fingers off of my root- I think cup size is approximately right and im just falling out the center instead due to being close set. This bra may be designed for more FOT (I would say Im even) or people that dont immediately project as much. Overall with under five minutes of wear Im quad-boobing quite hard and have half a nipple falling out center-front, along with half the cup seeming to crinkle up over my sides. Not painful to wear, but there's problematic wires on my side and the center front closure twisting with just the pressure needed to have a fitting band is unpleasant. Together with the severe quad boobing, this is unwearable for me. The downward seam for the top panel is pulled in line from strap to nipple, then cuts to center. It's very oddly fitting. For others, the low gore more in line with a band may be a helpful feature. I like the idea of a front closure and the back half feels nice- it's unfortunate the front is so ill fitting. Quality seems excellent except for some top stitching and the front buckle seems cheap and it turning would be a concern for me if I intended to keep this. Thin padding, but hid nipple bumps. Getting the closure closed and open under breast tissue being forced out center front is difficult. One side has to be an inch taller than the other and a right angle, then slide down and turn to 180 degrees to lock closed. The bar that slides in is only held by the very top and bottom having 2 pieces of 1/8 of an inch plastic- one at the top and one at the bottom- either breaks and the closure wont work.

Thank you very much for this review, alisa . I had my eye on this bra because of the super low gore and the beautiful color. I suspect I too would resent the hard plastic gore and the bulky horizontal seam. You saved me a lot of trouble.
