My first Polish bra and it fits! The band is tight on the loosest set of hooks and I'm afraid of stretching out the band too much so I wear it with an extender to prolong its life. So this could potentially work for people who need 26 bands (I have a 27" loose UB). I usually wear a 28D (even and shallow) in UK brands but the cups fits well. Cups slightly too wide by about half inch (I have average roots) but the height is perfect. I'd say this CHP would work for people needing shallow but not necessarily really wide cups in my size range. ... What I love though about this bra is the gore height. It's shorter than British balconettes or half-cups that I've tried and is great because I have relatively close-set breasts. Straps could be slightly narrower but still doable for me.

Appearance-wise, it's OK except for the (obnoxiously) large bows on straps. There's an interesting crimped ribbon feature on the band and there's lace on the top of the cups (shows under thin shirts though). I quite like this bra but the one thing I would add is pockets for cookies because I have very asymmetrical breasts.

Edit: I forgot to add that I love the fact that there are 4 columns of eyes on the band. The straps are also fully adjustable.

It is runs small in the cup and the band is quite firm. Fits more like tight 28D, so it is better to size up in the band and cup. The wires kept sliding down so I feel that it is too shallow for me. Probably more suitable for the very shallow. Gives quite a flattened shape which I don't like. Also, the straps are ridiculously wide.

Three hooks construction which is rare in this size range. Aesthetics-wise, I love the clean and simple lines. It's well-made, but not for me.

Very pretty bra with embroidered mesh covering the cup. It has one vertical seam in the cup. Band is firm like other Masquerade bras that I've tried. Sadly too big for me.

Runs large in the cup and band is not as tight as the Lepel Fiore models. Fits more like a 30D or a more projected 30C. Empty space at the apex and top of the cups. Cups lined with a comfortable material. Shape is more pointed than rounded. Very pretty bra embellished with scalloped edges and embroidery in the colour Antique Pink.

A surprise find at thrift store. Unfortunately not my size at all (28D) and I don't have any prior experience with Curvy Kate so I have no idea about this bra. It's a lined three-part seamed balconette bra. Tan-coloured with a white trim on the top of the cups and bows. Compared to the other Daily Boost I found in 28F, the 28G feels much flimsier.

So this is another thrift store find! My heart skipped a beat when I saw 'Kris Line' on the label and then it fell when I saw that it was not remotely close to my size. Oh well, hopefully someone else can enjoy this.

It's a moulded plunge with multiway straps (straps are detachable at the front and back). The white foam cups are quite padded with the padding being thicker at the bottom. There's embroidery on the section of strap closest to the cups and on the front of the band with a fabric rose detail at the gore. The cups are covered with an interesting knit ... marl fabric of metallic plum and black, creating a brindle effect. There's ruching at the bottom of the cups. The band is constructed of a satiny stretch fabric with 2 eyes and 4 column of hooks. The straps seems a bit short as 14" is the longest possible length.

I don't know anything about the fit as it's way out of my size range in both band and cup. The band seems quite stretchy when I measured it though. Also, other reviews have mentioned that Kris Line runs a cup small in this size range. It seems like a bra in which the right fit will give the wearer some amazing cleavage.

Would suit somebody with more upper fullness than myself. Very pretty and whimsical pattern without being too over the top. Like other unlined Cleos, the band is tight.

It was a surprise find at a thrift shop. Unfortunately not my usual size (28D) since I have been wanting to try on the Deco Strapless. Not much to say about this bra as it's at least a cup size too large, if not two. The band is firm and I love the fact that the wings are tall. Two placements for the straps on the front and back which is quite nice for people with narrow shoulders. Overall, it feels like a very sturdy bra.

First impression upon picking up the bra: sturdy. It's a three-part plunge. The material is a smooth satin which feels nice. The band is nice and snug, like most other Masquerade bras. The straps feels really thick and are only half-adjustable, which is not a problem for me but may for others.

I could not fill out the lace part of the cup. Maybe I don't have tall enough roots?
