My review starts with the caveat that I bought Curvy Kate Superplunge Multiway Padded Plunge Bra two band sizes up and one cup size down because that was the closest Figleaves had to 30F during their closeout sale. I would've sized up in the band at least to a 32, because of reviews saying it runs tight, but I would've gotten the 32DD.or 34DD.

Curvy Kate Superplunge has a super low gore, as low as that of my Holy Grail Bra, the Simone Perele Muse Triangle Push-up Bra. The latter has normal height wings. The Curvy Kate Superplunge's wings are a lousy 2.5" in height. Talk about unattractive underarm ... bulge! The seams are functional, which is great for shaping. I'm lucky that Simone Perele Muse's molded, seamless cups suit me. I know some people prefer seamed cups because they aren't so lucky in that way. Curvy Kate's Latte color is great for disappearing under clothes. It's darker than my skin tone, but not so much it would cause an issue. Simone Perele's Peau Rose color, on the other hand, is just a bit too light pink for me. It's usually not a problem.

Superplunge's finish quality is mediocre, on a par with Ewa Michalak. The piece holding the hooks has sharp edges. There's nearly an inch of unfilled wire channel in each cup.

I would try a 34DD Superplunge from Belle Lingerie, but I'm pretty sure the wings will still be at least an inch too short. I like the multifunctional straps and extra pieces so much, I would probably keep trying until I found the right cup size, if the wings worked for me. The gore is super, super low, which is my unusual fit issue. It's extremely hard to find a gore low enough for me, especially in a full band bra.
