This bra is pretty much a clone of the Flirtelle Spiro Plunge, so if you like that, then you'll like this and vice versa.
I made the mistake of ordering both because I didn't know Flirtelle was a kind of sister company to Curvy Kate.
This review will be pretty similar to the Flirtelle review, because there isn't much between them.
This bra is in a gorgeous polka-dot black mesh fabric with some pretty lace detail at the top. The lace at the top has a bit of texture that may show through some tops. The quality is excellent.
I don't get along with this bra for two reasons: it's too projected ... for me and I should have sister sized up.
Some info about me: I'm even vertical fullness with medium width and medium to not-so-much projection. I find Cleo Marcie to be a perfect cup fit, but it's too narrow for me. I like a low gore due to being close set and I'm a 34G to 36FF depending on band stretchiness.
It fits great along the top of the cup, I think it anticipates a hair more upper and inner fullness than I have, because the lace is not a close fit for me. It's slightly noticeable under clothes, mainly because of the texture of the lace though, it's quite 'chunky'. I have a LOT of wrinkles underneath the boob, which for me usually means that I need a less projection there. If you have more fullness at the wire when supported, you may like this.
The second issue is that I find the band a little tight for me, and therefore the gore slightly painful too. This is probably because I'm in-between a 34G and a 36FF, so it's very true to size.
On a positive note, I found this one had a bit more coverage than the Flirtelle one, it really brings the girls forward too.
I think this bra is best for those who have a lot of inner fullness and need projection at the wire. It's really pretty and I would recommend it to anyone who isn't shaped like I am. However, I would recommend the Flirtelle one before this one if you fit into the size range (I've heard their size range isn't as good as CK's, but can't remember at the time of this review).
