Curvy kate has usually given me a square shape so I gave up on them for awhile. Recently I've decided to give their plunges a try. I usually stay away from plunges because of spilling out the center but the center gore height on CK plunges didn't look super low. Turns out CK plunges give the nice round shape that I could never acquire in their balconettes. This bra in particular also is the least invasive on my armpit of all the CK's I've tried. Ideally I would like a 34HH but they didn't have it and it was such a good price. The ... top of the cup on the right does turn out a little but I could not see it under a shirt. Don't know if this will worsen in the future. I think this bra is a great alternative for those sized out of Deco. I'm still debating if I'm gonna keep it because I'd prefer a different size and I'm not a huge fan of red. But the price has me considering. I will be on the lookout for the black/champagne colorway when it comes out. Sidenote, I also have a Curvy Kate Dare in 36H which ended up running tight in the band so I kept it. Think that one definitely runs small and the Temptress is more true to size bandwise. The Dare was dirt cheap which is why I took the 36H gamble in the first place.
Update: I've decided to keep the bra. Can't find a 34HH anyway and the price is too good. I wore it a full day and it's very comfortable. There is some readjusting throughout the day but for a plunge it holds pretty good. And I never get quadding they just fall to the middle a bit, but I'm FOT so that's to be expected in a plunge. The band is a little large for me so that may be part of the problem too. I noticed the Arizona seems to be the same cut except a higher gore (ordered and en route) as well as the yet to be released daily dream. It seems with these new cuts CK has managed to get rid of the square shape that plaqued the Daily Boost. If CK hasn't worked for you in the past I would highly recommend trying their new redesigns. I'm glad I didn't give up on them.
Update: I really, really love this bra. So much so that I finally tracked down a 34HH on Amazon UK (I'm in the US). And I even got the matching briefs which are lovely. I never buy matching briefs. I'll still wear the 36H but I wanted it in my regular size of 34HH too. This bra gets worn quite a bit. Can't wait for September to get the new color. Hopefully CK will keep this one coming.
