Felt extremely tight to pull on over my head. As a J/JJ cup, it isnt easy to pull a band 13-14 inches smaller than my bust over my bust. WHY ARENT THERE HOOKS OR A CLOSURE? Immediately cups are way too far east/west and half my boob isnt covered. It's extremely easy for a whole boob to fall out center front. The lacy band curls up until it may as well not exist beneath the cups. I wish theres was a closure for the band and that the cups were much closer. Rather than the picture with cups overlapping, as it fits the cups have the lace overlap where sewn and immidately go out to the sides. Its's comfy once on, but rolling in sleep or any activy and I will pop out, and it's horrible to put on or off.

TL;DR This bralette was too small the first time around, too small when I bought it again in a new color, and still too small a year later.

I've had this bralette for almost a year, but am only just now getting around to uploading info...
I bought this knowing full well it wouldn't fit (see my previous review of 32J/JJ - Curvy Kate » Twice The Fun Reversible Bralette (CK0241 ) because I thought the "oxblood" color was pretty. I then had to rely on this oxblood/black bralette, the black/pink one, my 32J - Bravissimo » Nova Lounge Bra (LN764) , and my ... href="/bra/dn8wr/" class="mentioned-item">32J/JJ - Curvy Kate » My Dreams Bralette (011110) for 2 weeks while traveling. The cups on this would just not stay put, no matter what I did with the straps. The straps were even more slippery than the black/pink one. I even tried criss-crossing them in front of my neck, with limited success. I had to make an emergency trip to Nordstrom, where I acquired a 34HH - Elomi » Morgan Banded Bra (4110) , and a rush Amazon order for a 32JJ - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) (available sooner than a 32J, and turned out to fit better--oops!). Moral of the story: always throw at least a couple of real bras in the suitcase.
Note: I dug this bra out of my bureau to take pics today (about a year after purchase), so the fit is even worse than when I initially bought it.

The size definitely isn't right for me, but the shape seems like it could actually work with closer-set centre-full breasts. After a couple of wears, the band is still too tight and hasn't stretched a bit. It definitely takes time to break it in and probably runs a bit small in this size.
The fabric is smooth and the lace doesn't itch whatsoever. I imagine this would be very comfortable in the right size. The stiches are quite neat.
I love the design. It's very pretty and definitely the type of bra that can be seen as a fashion choice, but it also works under darker-colored clothing as the ... lace is flat. The fabric is nice and shiny. As the bralette is reversible, you get two colors for the price of one bra. This is a nice feature, but to be honest I'd prefer a single-colored bra with clasps. On the other hand, that means it goes nice with backless outfits.
The straps are fully adjustable, and detachable/convertible. The straps may be too short to work as a racerback for a lot of people, though.

Excellent design and comfortable, but maybe the cups are on the small side for a 30HH

I loved the original Curvy Kate Twice the Fun in Black/Pink, but I have that in a 30F/FF which is just a little too snug along the neckline for me. When the new colour way came out I went for the 30G/GG which is a little too big in the cup, but not uncomfortably so. My preferred fit is a 28G/30FF, but I have changed breast shape slightly resulting in a much firmer, fuller shape. I think if a 30FF/G were available, that would be absolutely spot on. The fabrics are soft, and the double layer microfibre makes it somewhat more supportive than its appearance might suggest. It ... is a great choice for comfort and fashion, but is definitely not one you can run for the bus in. The ultra-low plunge shape also means it might not be suitable for those with very soft breast tissue, as you might find yourself spilling out of the middle. I LOVE that the straps are fully detachable and convertible so not only can you make it cross back or halter, you can actually flip the straps around to be able to adjust the sliders from the front if you struggle with them being at the back, and can actually have them sitting the right way when having the colour reversed (rather than the sliders sitting on the underside of the strap and therefore digging in).

curvy kate's 'twice the fun' bralette proves that fuller busts can wear fun wire-free styles too!

I normally wear a 32J UK in other Curvy Kate bras ( 32J - Curvy Kate » Kiss Cross Plunge Bra (CK006101) and 32J - Curvy Kate » Lifestyle Plunge Bra (CK5711) ), so I ordered the 32J/JJ in this bralette. This is a very deep plunging style, with wide set cups. It also runs quite small, and the material was too flimsy to hold me up, so it folds over. I tried to tighten the straps all the way, but the straps are so slippery that the sliders don't stay put. The cups wound up bunched up beneath my breasts while ... I was just lounging in my apartment. Even tightening the straps did not stop me from falling out of the cups. This bralette is intended to be reversible, but the way the lace trim is sewn on just looks awkward on both sides. The tag is attached to the pink side, so it would be difficult to wear that way unless you remove the tag completely.

Edited to add:. I've found that wearing a tightly fitted and sturdy shirt (e.g. fitted button-downs, fitted sweaters) keeps the cups in place. Of course, it kind of defeats the purpose of wearing a bralette if you have to wear a less comfortable shirt.
