I think this is one of the most beautiful bras I've ever seen! I love the little velvet dots. You truly feel like a princess when wearing this gorgeous bra! Curvy Kate Princess seemed like the best fit bra ever when I got it, but I've lost weight, so it's not such a good match anymore.

There is wrinkling on the upper part of the cups. But I'm worried if the cups would fully enclose my boobs on the sides, if I would go down a cup size. I should go down a band size too, because the band is a little loose to me.

Pros:

- Amazing look, beautiful!
- Wires ... are wide enough

Cons:

- Band is loose
- Wrinkling on tops of the cups
- The lace on the top of the cup is a little itchy
- Straps are not fully adjustable, only in the back

So, I wonder if Curvy Kate Princess is the best choice for me after all. I wish it was, because it's so pretty. I would definitely need a smaller cup and band size, but I'm worried the wires would be too narrow then, or too low on the sides.

When I lose weight, my boobs seem to only lose volume on the top of my breasts. But my breasts still continue almost to my armpits, nothing changes there. So I still need just as wide underwires as before, I'm just even less likely to fill the top of the cup. Which makes it difficult to go down in cup sizes, and finding bras is even harder than before.

My shape: Projected, average width roots, short roots, slightly bottom full, even horizontal fullness.

This bra was not to my taste. It is very pretty and did fit but was not comfortable. The lace on the straps was itchy and chaffed on my tail of spence. The material is mesh and is very stiff, rough, and uncomfortable. Because of my short roots I also had some wrinkling near the straps. The biggest issue I had with this bra though was the lace along the edge of the cuff. It is very textured, the flowers in the lace bend out from the cup, and the ribbon woven through bubbles up. Over all the material is the real downfall of this bra. If you were to get it it would only work under tops with texture or sweaters.

This is an unpadded, seamed, half cup, underwire bra with polka dots.
Note: The purchasing and construction details of this bra are identical to the 32F.

* Continuous band - wires lower than wings.
* Back close with 3 columns of hooks.

Straps:
* smooth elastic with outer ridges

* Top panel is stretch lace (unlined).
* All other panels are constructed of non-stretch mesh over a non-stretch, semi-opaque knit.
* Soft cups (no padding or molding).


ABOUT ME: petite with wide horizontal oval, slightly conical breasts
* average projection
* average-set (one finger width of space between breasts)
* very wide roots (extend past the mid-axillary line)
* even horizontal fullness (just barely outer full)
* short root height, average vertical placement
* mix of firm & soft tissue (front molds to shape of bra, sides push wimpy wires away)
* conical shape (but will squish to round)
* full on top (2/4 shape, not even or very full) - BUT functionally even to FOB due to short roots and soft tissue
* petite (5'3") so have narrow frame
* front (anterior) rib flares


FIT DETAILS

Band:
* length: stays in place with wear but feels slightly loose (suspect will need to move to middle hook sooner than usual)
* wings: way too short

Gore: Tacks. Height & width fine.

Straps:
* Way too far apart. Slip.
* Adjust short enough.

Cups:
* Wires wide enough (unlike the 32F).
* Top of cup: wrinkles or gaps (expects more upper fullness)
* Bottom of cup: wrinkles or gaps (not enough immediate projection at wire)
* Cup apex: too deep
* Strong wires aren’t pushed down or out.
* Just covers boobs, doesn’t provide much shaping.
* Outer edge of cup cuts into Tail of Spence.


Assessment & Plan:
* Cups wide enough but too deep. Also tried -1 cup size (32F) which was too narrow but not as deep (still too deep). This model is too projected for me. STOP, SHAPE MIS-MATCH (too projected).
* Also, when will I stop trying half-cup styles? The straps are too wide-set for my petite frame -- slip and cut into tail of Spence.
* This style is recommended on r/abtf for FoB/even, wide-ish roots, above average projection, and rounding horizontal oval breasts. This should have checked so many of my fit boxes, but it didn’t.
* I recommend this model for FoT/even with above average projection and average (not narrow, not wide) roots and average to broad shoulders (not narrow). It probably would round-out horizontal oval breasts, if it is the correct width and depth.

The fit on this one is pretty good for me. The band is snug without being too tight. The gore tacks comfortably, the wires follow my inframammary fold, and the cup size/shape works fairly well for me. The only real issue I have is that the cup comes up a little high (cuts into my tail of spence) and the straps are set a little too wide for me. I also get a little bit of wrinkling along the top of the vertical cup seam, but it isn't bad. If I'm being really picky, the wires may be a little too narrow at the base.

Ultimately, I'm not keeping this because I didn't like the material. The fabric is somewhat irritating to me for some reason. I also don't like the textured nature of the fabric. While it didn't seem to show under my shirt in the pictures, it does show in certain light and I expect the flower trim to show as I move.
