Oh gosh. I really want to like this bra because I really want a strapless, but I'm not quite sure.
It seems to fit okay. I can't find any real faults with the fit. The wires are a bit wide. I'm not quite filling the cups completely, but not really not filling them. The gore is fine. The slots for the straps go a bit wide into my armpits, if I were to wear them.
I'm just not quite sure I trust it as a strapless. Maybe I'm just paranoid, and it's just because there's no straps that I feel the desire to pull it up just a bit, just ... to make sure, every so often. Also the cups do this weird thing where the fold over a bit at the armpits after a few minutes of wear. I'm not sure what that means.
I don't have a strapless dress handy (I'd hidden them all away since I didn't have a bra to wear with them), so I tried it on under a spaghetti strap shirt. It's okay, but it has that tell-tale line, where it folds a bit at the armpits, that's like telling everyone, "Hey look, I'm trying to wear a strapless bra so you don't know I'm wearing a bra right now but you totally are!" But it's not as bad as it could be.
Gah, I can't decide if this works!

Yet another issue I have with Curvy Kate. Strapless cups are too damn high on the chest. The sole reason I purchased this one was to wear a good fitted strapless bra under strapless attire. BUT cups are too high on the chest to wear underneath low cut attire! >https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Once again, cups are way too wide and size consistency is off (this one is too big and spacious).

This one is pure perfection.

I got it via ebay (brand new and also a bargain, so I feel very proud about myself!) and it was an excellent choice. I haven´t got any strapless bra since - ever, I guess? I never thought it would be possible to have something supportive enough. The 32FF - Freya » Deco Strapless (4233) I own didn´t give any support without the straps, so I don´t really think of it as a strapless, and it was a shape mismatch anyway, I´m afraid.

So... Where to begin?

The colour is called "biscotti"- which means it´s skin friendly for me as a Caucasian.

It ... gives a very interesting shape, not similar to any other bra I own. Slightly projected and yet somehow minimizing. It works well for my narrow, projected, slightly full on top, close set breasts. I chose to wear a 30-inch band, because the silicone on the band would otherwise hurt my sensitive skin. And it was still very supportive.

I spent my wedding day in this beauty without the straps and it was supportive since 8AM to 4AM the next day https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> When I put it down, I had some red marks on my back, but this happens to me in any bra (even in those horrible 34/36 DDDs I do not wear anymore).

The strips on the back of the bra are a bit visible under light fabric - but that is mostly OK, and my wedding dress with sheer fabric had some lace added to cover these. The tiny buttons and ribbon on the sternum are a very cute detail.

I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it to anyone in similar size range searching for a strapless bra.

Thank you, Curvy Kate !
