I think I am almost ready to throw in the towel when it comes to Curvy Kate's Showgirls line. First, my boobs are too wide apart and the cups are too shallow in the Tempt Me, then my nipples practically fall out of the Elegance, and now… this.
The Tease Me [showgirl Collection] itself is quite lovely but not my usual style, what with the bows and ribbon and things. The fabric is soft yet supportive. I was worried that the lace and stuff would be scratchy. I'm not sure what clothing I would normally wear this bra under, ... definitely nothing tight at the top, because the ribbons make for lumps under fabric. I wore it all day under a loose fitting shirt.
The bra itself is mostly comfortable. I say "mostly" because while the underwires themselves don't dig in to my armpits, they pretty much end right at the armpits, but then there's these twee bows right at the end of the underwires and guess where THEY go. So if I decide to keep the Tease Me, those things will be snipped right off. The band is a little on the stretchy side. The gore comes dangerously close to being higher than I like. The wires do encircle the shape of my whole breast, though. If my torso was any shorter, the Tease Me would not work at all. I feel like it, just like the others I've tried from the Showgirls line, is made for someone with a longer torso. But, overall comfort is good. I took a nap in it, and I didn't want to rip it off by the end of the day.
The Tease Me likes to take my boobs and lift them upwards. It doesn't push them towards the center, if anything, they are still set wide, just shoved upwards in an almost impressive display: "Here they are, my boobs". Like, I could take a brush in Photoshop and paint a perfect circle around each boob in my photo of the front view. But from the side? This is where it looks like to me that the bra is actually also pushing my breasts inward, causing the profile to be a bit... off. So I'm thinking the Tease Me is a tad too shallow and wide for me.
Basically, the Tease Me turns my rack into a rectangle with two half circles on top. Imagine a "B" that was been turned 90º counter-clockwise and ta-da, those are my boobs.
Maybe I will be a glutton for punishment and continue my hunt for the Thrill Me [showgirl Collection] -- maybe it's a good thing I can't find it in my size lol.
