This is such a gorgeous bra. I think a 30J would fit me better. The cups are really shallow. I spill out the sides and top. I will keep it because it's so beautiful and I like trying it on every once in a while.

This bra is what I chose for my first foray into buying online. According to bratabase, the cups would fit while the band would be somewhat loose - and to my surprise, that was pretty much completely accurate. I do have to pull the straps on quite tight and there's a some extra space at the top of the cup on my smaller breast, so perhaps a 28HH might have fit slightly better.

The band felt right on the loosest hook when I first put the bra on, but I had to tighten it to the second one after a few hours - no problems with slipping after that, ... so at least it wasn't obscenely loose, even if this isn't a great sign with a brand new bra.

As for the non-fit related downsides, the bra goes up REALLY high on the sides. I believe I have an older model where the poking-your-pits is particularily bad. I would not wear a Thrill Me on any day where you have to be doing a lot of activity. It is not, however, something you can't live with for a day, as long as you do the right amount of scooping.

Despite all the negativity thus far - I do have to say this bra very quickly became my current favorite. I love the look of it, with and without clothes on top. The rufflyness and seams aren't as bad as they might seem - a tight camisole under a tight jumper and I was wearing a T-shirt bra as far as you could tell. The bra is also quite light in weight and construction for a padded style.

All i really need to say about this bra is... THE COLOUR
The contrasting bluey-green detail against the purple is just too fabulous to describe into words, so all i will say on the matter is *gasp*.

The fit compliments my top heavy boobs, without giving any ridiculous cleavage (as a balconette should not do in my opinion) It is extremely comfortable in the bust area, apart from a slight issue with cup coming up rather high against my armpit.

The band is tight, perhaps too tight, however i have a thrill me in a 30H and from the day it arrived i have had to wear it ... on the tightest hooks so i figured a 28 band will last longer even if it is a bit uncomfortable at first.

In my opinion, it's worth buying a "possibly-too-tight-but-will-stretch-to-accomodate-me" band rather than settling for a comfortable but may end up being too slack band. That aside, if you have the kind of stubborn firm boobs that don't like to move with a bra then this is perfect! Oh and did i mention the COLOUR?

This bra is comfortable and well made, even though it is too small in the cup for me. The cups are lightly padded. It gives me an amazing cleavage, partly presumably because it is too small in the cups for me.

The underwire is a little high in the centre, not a problem for me, but it may be for some.

The straps appear to be set quite far apart, again not an issue for me, but may be for some.

If this came in 28K I'm sure it would be perfect for me.

Luxurious, striking colorway - but unfortunately the bra does not fit me. It's a bit too large in the cup, and the straps are too separate for my shoulders.

This bra fits better than the 30H, but the straps are SO far apart it is torturous to wear. I will be altering them, hopefully that will solve my issues.

Wine/Navy

As I said in my other reviews, I own three of these bras and use them as t-shirt bras with the ruffles and the bows on the straps removed. These bras are really comfortable and fit me perfectly. This bra is by far my favorite style. The shape is round and smooth. See other reviews for more.

10/10

update 12/12/12 lol:
I've actually been wearing my unpadded cleo bras a lot more recently because I feel a lot more comfortable and secure in them. I tried wearing this one yesterday morning, and it just isn't as comfy or supportive. Also, I've had the same problem with all of the Curvy Kate bras I've tried: when I take my bras off my thumbnail puts a small hole in the band and I don't even press hard with my nail either. So, I'd say that's a quality issue.

Jade/Fuchsia

This bra is my favorite bra! I now own three and use them as t-shirt bras because of how smooth the satin is. I cut the ruffles off because I'm one of those people that just hates them because they show under clothing. I also removed the bows on the straps. Alterations aside, this bra is a perfect fit on me. The back band is nice and firm and sits where it's supposed to. The straps are fully adjustable and are super comfortable. The colors are absolutely beautiful. My favorite colors are teal and fuchsia, so to be able ... to find a bra with those colors is just amazing for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I can't wipe the smile off my face when I look at this bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> The center gore sits flat on my chest and doesn't poke at all and the wires contain all of my breast tissue on the sides and don't poke at all either. The only issue I have with this bra is that I get a bit of orange in a glass problem with the bottom of the cups. They seem to be shallower than my Wine/Navy colorway.

Update 10/4/12: The Jade/Fuchsia colorway has now become too small in the cups for me and I have double boob. The Wine/Navy is still a perfect fit though. Like I said before, I think the newer colorways are cut smaller.

Ivory/Black

This colorway runs about on cup size bigger than other colors. So I do get a small amount of gaping on the top of the cups, but I fixed it by just tightening the straps more. As, I said in my other review, I own three of these bras and use them as t-shirt bras for everyday wear. The band is firm and comfortable and the straps are fully adjustable.

9/10 because of the sizing

I love the look of the curvy Kate showgirl range but they do lack slightly in the fit.
The bands are pretty lose, I'm a 28 in this range compared to my normal 30. Which means cup size wise I have to go up to a J. and while being not a perfect fit I do enjoy it.

The centre gore doesn't quite lay flat to my chest. But in all fairness I don't wear this enough, I see it more as a bedroom bra and not a day to day bra.
