Regularly wear a Curvy Kate 34HH plunge or Polish brand bras. The pleather makes it hard to get on. tiny straps are useless for adding support and afraid i'd brake getting it on. velvet feels bad and looks odd next to pleather, both seem cheaper quality materials than I'd hoped for. I tried this on with loosest hooks and the decorative front straps. The cups are too separate- pushing the top of the gore off my chest and causing the bottom to dig into my sternum. wires are off to the side a lot, cups have some gaping at the top but overflow in the middle, but i ... think this is my size, arm skin sticks to pleather, decorative straps are a weird feeling on my neck- they could use to cross lower and be less of a choker. band seems a little tight but I can fit fingers under and it seems like it may just be less stretchy but the right size. center definitely cuts into my sternum more than most curvy kate bras (I have a sensitivity issue on my sternum), outer wires are a little too far on my side but don't seem to hurt in a five minute try on at least, I definitely have some of the cup just covering my side with about 2 finger widths away from my root, and some of my tissue spilling out center front.
Tried taking off the decorative straps and the fit got worse. the straps became too separate, the cups moved more east west and I spilled over the top/center edge of the cup too much. I dont think sizing up in the cup would help much, as there's cup Im not filling on the outer sides.
Sewing quality seemed great, the copper notions (hooks and such) were really nice. The pleather and velvet seemed somewhat cheaper than I expected. The velvet semed to have a whiter tone than the pleather and I wish they color matched it to be a richer color.
comnfort: the band seemed firm and the decorative straps seemed to want to ride up towards my neck. Other wise it felt comfy. Unfortunately, I spilled out centerfront enough that my appearance in it makes it unwearable.
