Another gorgeous piece of craftsmanship from Katherine Hamilton! I ordered a 26HH because it was the closest size to my size available and it was on sale, and I got a 6 in the matching bottoms. The fabric is soft and the lace is so delicate and pretty. The straps are a little confusing at first, especially for someone like me who isn't nearly coordinated enough to fasten bras in the back (I know, I know, I'm very bad), but you just have to make sure they're behind your head when you put the bralette on. I think the effect of them being crossed in the back is ... cute!

I knew this bralette was going to be too big for me, and it is. I get wrinkling at the top of the cups even on my bigger side. The band is super tight, stretching to not quite 26", and the cups come up really high. The design of the bralette is kind of interesting to me because the cups go up SO high - it was definitely digging into my armpits a bit, so I didn't tighten the straps more even though that might have helped the fit of the cups. That's why I'm rating the comfort as "Okay" even though the fabric is soft and generally pleasant to wear. I definitely do think the cups being too big contributed to the issue, but if you have issues with tall cups/digging into your armpits, this might not be the bralette for you. It's not as projected as I would like, but it's just a bralette and the wrinkling at the bottom of the cups is neither visible nor really consequential for me (also, I'm very projected). I'm 5'5" or 165cm if that helps as a reference for cup height.

Once again, I love the panties. They're soft and quite flattering and they fit me well (23.5" waist, about 36" hips). I will be listing this bra for sale, and I have enough lacy underwear to be willing to offer the panties as well for an additional cost, as sad as that makes me. All in all, although the bra doesn't fit (again), I think buying the set was a worthwhile endeavor (again). If KH ever makes a plunge bra and does another sale, I'll be ALL OVER it!

My stats for reference:
5'3, 26HH, FOT, tall and narrow roots, center full, projected, super close set and average root placement (high set, low set etc.)


Look:
This bra is so pretty! It has an almost bridal vibe. The silk slings add a touch of luxury. Definitely an "investment" piece that should be worn under a white version of one of those "my rich husband died of mysterious circumstances" robes.

Fit:
Why have you betrayed me so!? I was so excited to have a pure white unlined bra to ruin and discolor under pretty sundresses while I'm sweating my balls off in 90° heat this summer! But this bra wouldn't cooperate with ... my ideas. The gore is far too high and wide for me. The cups are too wide and are slightly shallow. Not enough to make them unprojected, just less projected than I personally need. I'd say it's great for average width and average projection. The wires slide down on me and the upper cups dig into my roots, creating quadboob on both sides. The straps are halfway adjustable, I have them almost fully extended, this bra could not accommodate someone taller or lower set than me.  The straps are also and super wide set for me.  I can handle wide set straps most of the time by angling them in. But that amplified the pain from the plastic loops on my tail of spence, completing the trifecta of torture that Katherine calls a bra. (Straps, gore, cup width). The band is pretty snug, definitely a true 26 band. Overall, this bra is a femme fatale, absolutely stunning, but it'll kill you slowly and painfully.
