    This bra is cute - but I'm not sure it really WORKS.

    The entire bra feels very light, which is maybe neither good nor bad, but the fabric is really sheer and lightweight.

    I find that this bra does not give me much support at all - before I put the shoulder straps on, its like I'm not wearing a bra at all, so the band is not giving me any support.

    The shape is odd - my breasts look rather square? And the ribbons and seams are clearly visible through a t-shirt.

    For me, even 'cute' isnt really a plus, as my husband does not like the ribbons.

    I like how this fits everywhere except under the armpit. The wires are too short, and poke me, and I think they're sitting on migrated breast tissue. But otherwise, this bra is really comfortable and I like how it looks.

    This is such a cute bra. I really love it's appearance and the style. Unfortunately, the size is all wrong. The wires are much too wide and shallow for me and the band is slightly too big. I really hoped this one would work for me but I'm most likely a 30H.

    Fits

    Beautiful colors, a great fit (once you find your size), what is not to love! Fabric feels a bit scratchy until after the first wash(due to starch I think), then it softens up well. This is a good everyday bra for normal activities. It's not the kind of bra I would do heavy physical stuff in (like carry boxes or clean the house), but is great for work and under most tops. If you wear it under a top that is tight or thin, you can see the ribbon detail. That's okay with me, because I have other bras for those types of tops(like moulded or padded).

    Erased my original review. Although the volume of the cups were just right, I have narrow, bottom heavy breasts and this cause wrinkling at the top. Strangely, my bigger breast had more wrinkles so it was definitely not a size issue. The band is okay for my 26 inch back, I could fasten it on my middle hooks. However, it did not ride up on me unless I adjusted my straps really tight. I have read reviews and it worked on some women who have bottom heavy bras, but I happen to lack breast tissue on top anyway. If you have a similar breast shape, stay away from this bra or perhaps majority of CK bras. It makes me sad because this bra is very pretty and I love how the pink ribbon contrasts with the black fabric. The wires are too wide for me.

    Used to fit

    Auuuugh it fits!! A bra that fits!!! I'm so excited. The center gore TACKS. You have no idea how rare this is for me. Because of the good fit, the support is strong even though it's a seemingly flimsy little soft-cup bit of lingerie. I love the color (electric line green with cheerful magenta ribbon).

    It's partially see-through, and I can't not get my nipples to show, which I guess is okay since it's under clothes anyway. The fabric is thin; headlights may occur. Not T-shirt friendly; the seam and top lace are sometimes visible under tight fabric.

    I am very itch-sensitive, particularly when it comes to lace. I found this somewhat itchy at first, but it got much, much better after washing. It's fairly comfortable to me now, although obviously not in the "my breasts are ensconced in a cloud" category that I prefer.

    Material: 74% polyamide, 20% polyester, 6% elastene

    At a discounted price on Brastop, I thought to myself "why not?" and I got Portia in the SS13 Seafoam colourway, which is a beautiful greenish blue with dark fuchsia ribbon across the top of the cups. I already had the white/pink version, in the old Curvy Kate cut (wide + shallow) and I wanted to try the new one, which is deeper and narrower. Sadly, it's still not deep or narrow enough (I'd need another 0.5 cm depth and the same cut off on the sides), and I spill out the top and the pink ribbon cuts into my breasts. The band is stretchy and doesn't stay in place. In spite of the fit issues, I still kept it and I wear it around the house, as it's rather comfortable, and it's gotten lots of wear. I find CK's stretch out quite quickly, and their meshes, while nice and soft, don't last very long.

    Too wide and shallow for me. I fall out in the centre, and the gore floats. The band is too stretchy and rides up. Not enough depth at the bottom. Not enough depth anywhere, really. Still, a very pretty bra, the white/pink is definitely my favourite colourway of Portia. Simple, but cute. I'm going to try my luck at altering a 32G and see how it fits. Fingers crossed!

    Despite the poor fit, the shape was nicely rounded. I think the wire width seemed pretty good and the gore tacks. The band was a bit too stretchy for my liking - I could easily fasten the bra on the tightest setting and still pull the band out a quite a bit. My main problem with this bra is that the seam where the bra meets the stretch lace cuts in to my breast tissue and falls below my nipple. Is this an issue with size mismatch? A shape mismatch? Both?
