Got this little cutie delivered from Amazon today thinking I would have a slinky thing to wear around this weekend while I’m married to my heating pad. Unfortunately, it lined up with the rest of my experience with Curvy Kate thus far. The stretch mesh is soft and smooth but does nothing for support. Since this is a wireless style, I wasn’t expecting much lift, but unless I tighten the straps to the point of discomfort, there is very little lift at all. I took the photos before tightening to an absurd tightness to get some lift/support, but you can see in the pictures that ... it’s pressing down quite a bit on my shoulders. The band, which stretches to an absurd 42”, rolls up almost instantly. The straps are also very wide set.

Okay, I’ll include the couple good features. First, the cups actually fit. Like I am not falling out or quadding anywhere. Second, it is a very cute look. I love the illusion elastic and the little undercleave window. If this were more comfortable (see digging straps and rolling band), I would keep it to lounge in when I want to be sexy but lazy. It actually doesn’t look too awful under a shirt now that I look at the pictures.

If this were, say, a $20 bralette, I might keep it and try adding a second set of straps or tightening the band or something to make it more functional. At $42, I will be sending this back and trying again.
