This bra is absolutely gorgeous and I WISH that I could fasten it. Unfortunately, the band is way too small for me; I bought it years ago from someone on Reddit when I was trying to figure out my bra size (so of course I could not return it). The embroidery is so pretty, and the construction feels solid. It also is a true nude on me.

SUPER cute bra... I wish it fit me. It'd make a great nude bra. Band is way too tight.

It seemed like a good fit at first. But even with the straps tightened beyond comfortable, the shape is a bit droopy and I get an uncomfortable bounce with the slightest bump in the road. After a few hours, the wires start pinching my chest. If I tighten the straps to a max, the support is obviously better but my shoulders aren't happy. The shape also gets weird. I've only worn it a couple of times and plan on selling it.
A 28GG Flirtelle Dahlia was the same. I almost crossed Flirtelle/Curvy Kate off my list, but then I remembered reading on Bras I Hate (http://brasihate.blogspot.com/2012/05/what-does-curvy-kateflirtelle-have-to.html) that a downward-pointing shape in CK bras means the cups are too small. I should probably try a 28H and see if it makes a difference.

The color is surprisingly ugly. I don't know what I was expecting, but it totally looks like a stereotypical grandma bra. The fabric in the cups is very thick too, which adds to the effect.
In terms of underwire width, this was better than the other 28GG Flirtelle bra I ordered. But the cups were a lot bigger. Not sure why.

Band: Nice and firm! I really should have ordered a 30G, because this fits better with an extender.
Cup: The embroidery makes it stiff but not really itchy. The color and embroidery are slightly visible under a medium weight, white t-shirt. Fits me pretty well, though I feel like the shape is a little flat. This may be due to...
Underwires: STRETCH. They come up mid-armpit before I fasten the band, which is slightly wider than perfect. And then, when I fasten the band, they stretch to the point that they're nearly wrapping around my back! When I use an extender, this isn't quite as extreme, but they still distort to be wider than is comfortable. The wires and wings come up very high as well, which just adds to the discomfort.
I knocked the quality and comfort scores down largely because the wires have issues.
