Oh my goodness, this may be the sluttiest (in a very good way) bra that I have ever owned - the cups are very, VERY low-cut. They're quite close together, which would normally be a bit of an issue for my shallow/wide root shape, but because the cup is so low there's no gapping, there's some serious push-up, and the general effect is of Heaving Stupendous Bosom Barely Contained By Bra, which I never thought I'd get with my not-terribly-big-mostly-in-my-armpits boobs. Top of cup line verges on quadboob but I think that just contributes to the Heaving Stupendous etc. etc., and I think if I went up a ... cup size it wouldn't look as good - less shallow ladies (or ladies more concerned about nipple escaping for non-boudoir wear) might want to go up in the cup. Fabric and lace are very pretty, and while the gore is quite high for the cup height (it comes up above the top of the cup) it seems comfortable. Gorgeous bra!

(I am also, as ever, annoyed that Scantilly bras fit me way better than regular Curvy Kate, given that they're nearly twice the price)

Very cute bra, good fit on my wide-set, shallow boobs (though has a tiny gape at the middle on my smaller side if I don't have the straps tight enough). Seems pretty comfy so far.

I have this bra in Blush and it is one of the nicest-looking bras I own - gorgeous very rounded shape, looks amazing under clothes, really pretty muted pale-rose colour, no gaping anywhere. Fits a lot better on me than the "regular" Deco, which gapes badly at the top (I'm quite FOB), and slightly better than the Freya Deco Rebel Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) , which has very slight gaping if I don't stand up super-straight.

My only problem with it is the band - it seems much, much more rigid than the other Freya bands and if I wear it "as is" I feel like it's ... cutting the circulation off in the entire top half of my body. With an extender adding another set or two of hooks it's super comfy. I've persevered with the extender a few times in the hope that the band will stretch out a bit, but I'm still not quite there. I am considering just buying it again in a 34D, but then fear the band will loosen too much. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This is a *serious* push-up bra - there's a definite "heaving Regency bosom" effect. The nude colour is gorgeous and the satin fabric is pretty. It's also *very* low cut, which means I finally have something I can wear under a dress that I used to go braless under (sadly no more due to going up a couple of cup sizes/gravity) without the top of my bra showing.

As a previous reviewer said, it has a very firm band - I could possibly have got away with a 34 but the shop didn't have one, and the 32 doesn't seem circulation-cutting-off tight. I'll see how it goes with a bit of wear. Cups are also quite shallow and not particularly big, if you're more projected you'd probably need to go up a size.

I was really pleasantly surprised by this bra, given that it's from a "fashion" range that only just about goes up to my cup size. I got it to wear under a particular dress (needed a balconnet with thin nude straps) and it's a fantastic fit - fit and shape is very like my 32DD - Cleo » Jolie Balconnet Bra (7581). Nice widely spaced straps for my wide shoulders, cup fits perfectly, very pretty style. Only downside is that the laciness might show through thin clothing. Seems extremely comfortable so far. It comes in lots of colours, so I suspect I may buy more of this style.

This is a really cute bra. Very similar cut to the 32DD - Bravissimo » Retro Bloom Bra (LN171) and so also works on me (shallow, FOB, slightly wide-set), lovely embroidered hearts on the outside of the cup with a soft cotton lining on the inside. Gives quite a bit of lift and a good shape while still being comfortable.

This is a really well-fitting bra for my shallow, wide-rooted boobs - fits a bit like a plungier version of the Bravissimo padded half-cups. Probably a bit foofier than my normal taste in bras (it's purple! it has gold embroidery everywhere!) but it's so comfortable and nicely made I'm going to keep it.

Like many Curvy Kate bras, I really wanted to like this as it's a gorgeous colour and very pretty, but the fit was just ... not quite right. Cups were a bit too projected for my shallow/wide roots, and also mysteriously pointy. Didn't keep.

This is a very oddly-shaped bra. It looks beautiful, but manages to not fit me in a variety of ways - the cups are both too big and waaaay too narrow (I tried the next cup size down and it was still too projected and even narrower). Pretty much the exact opposite of what my shallow, wide-rooted breasts need. Did not keep.

This may be the first bra ever to give my shallow, wide-rooted, sort-of-pointing-at-my-armpits boobs Actual Proper Cleavage. The novelty! Admittedly it does so via a *shedload* of padding underneath and some serious uplift that pretty much hoists everything up and forward. Probably more padded/HELLO HERE ARE MY BOOBS than I would wear every day (despite the name) but will be great for low cut dresses (or if I feel like frightening my coworkers).

Cup fabric is nice smooth microfibre with a cotton lining, there's a bit of lace trim, also a little metal heart decoration on one strap that I may remove. Extremely comfortable. I would say the band is true to size/small (but stretchy) and the cups run shallow and maybe a bit small, if I was even a little bigger I'd need an E.
