I own the same bra in black-- see 32J - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) for my full review of the black colorway.

I already have a M - Cosabella » Never Say Never Ultra Curvy Sweetie Bralette (N in Palm Aloe that I've reviewed, and this one in Sole (warm yellow) is very similar. The band is a little looser, and the bust seems to be a smidge larger. I've had this on since last night (24 hours and counting), and it was comfortable to sleep and lounge around in. The color is more flattering on me than I would have expected.

I normally wear a 32J UK in other Freya bras, and I tried this out in a Large. Freya only recommends this bralette to up to a HH cup, so I expected it to be a bit small. It rides up slightly in the back as well. It is very comfortable in spite of these things. It holds things in enough for me to sleep and lounge in it, and the mesh somehow conceals the nipples enough that I feel comfortable wearing it during videoconferences for work. This is so comfortable that I purchased this in two more colors (yellow and olive) in addition to emerald.

TL;DR This bralette was too small the first time around, too small when I bought it again in a new color, and still too small a year later.

I've had this bralette for almost a year, but am only just now getting around to uploading info...
I bought this knowing full well it wouldn't fit (see my previous review of 32J/JJ - Curvy Kate » Twice The Fun Reversible Bralette (CK0241 ) because I thought the "oxblood" color was pretty. I then had to rely on this oxblood/black bralette, the black/pink one, my 32J - Bravissimo » Nova Lounge Bra (LN764) , and my ... href="/bra/dn8wr/" class="mentioned-item">32J/JJ - Curvy Kate » My Dreams Bralette (011110) for 2 weeks while traveling. The cups on this would just not stay put, no matter what I did with the straps. The straps were even more slippery than the black/pink one. I even tried criss-crossing them in front of my neck, with limited success. I had to make an emergency trip to Nordstrom, where I acquired a 34HH - Elomi » Morgan Banded Bra (4110) , and a rush Amazon order for a 32JJ - Panache » Envy Balconnet Bra (7285) (available sooner than a 32J, and turned out to fit better--oops!). Moral of the story: always throw at least a couple of real bras in the suitcase.
Note: I dug this bra out of my bureau to take pics today (about a year after purchase), so the fit is even worse than when I initially bought it.

black/oxblood colorway

I normally wear a 32J UK in other Curvy Kate bras, so I tried this in a 32J/JJ. This is very comfortable and looks ok at first, but I get quadboob in minutes. The cups fold over some as well, and there is virtually no support from this bralette. Unlike other bralettes, this does NOT cause uniboob. I would try this out in a larger dual cup size, but it doesn't come in a bigger cup.

Edited to add: I've actually worn this to work a few times. It's supportive enough to walk around it and build up equipment. The quadding is visible through my shirts though.

Comfortable bralette, works for large busts

I normally wear a 32J in other Freya bras. I tried this in a Large based on the size chart for the Freya Fancies Bralette, which recommends a Large for up to 32HH. The cups were a little small, as I expected--I overflowed a bit out to the side. Unlike the Freya Fancies bralette, this has hooks and eyes in the back, so I can tighten it enough to prevent it from riding up. This bralette is made from a very soft, cottony material and is very comfortable to wear. I also purchased this in gray.

I purchased this out of sheer desperation--most of my bras are too small now, and this was on sale at Brastop. I was hoping the sizing would be more like the 32J/JJ - Curvy Kate » My Dreams Bralette (011110) as opposed to the 32J/JJ - Curvy Kate » Unwind Bralette (CK011110), but I was sadly mistaken. If anything, it was even smaller in the cups than the Unwind, and was completely unsupportive. I purchased a couple of other bras in that Brastop order in a 32JJ that also turned out to be too small, so maybe my complaints about the ... Curvy Kate bralettes running small should be taken with a grain of salt...
Hopefully, I'll get around to doing measuring the bras (and myself) later. I'm guessing I need a 32K nowadays...

ETA August 10, 2022: Yup, I need a 32K, at least for the Curvy Kate Wonderfull Full Coverage Bra (CK018102) and Flirtelle Alice Balconette Bra (FL7801). Still getting away with a 32JJ in Elomi and Panache bras for now though.
