Cups fit well when wires are up under breast tissue correctly. When I really swoop and scoop I can over fill the cups. I have a very short torso 5'1" 175 lbs. I had to alter the fabric under the arms. I removed the straps and cut away about 3/4" of the fabric that cause chafing under my arms. I did not change the placement of the wires, but did move the straps toward the center of my body by about 3/4" on each side. This made the chafing stop but I don't believe it changed how the cups fit me. The wires to not poke. I am not used to the tight fit around my ribs yet, but I am willing to try this new adventure as I have been wearing the wrong size bra most of my 50 years! I will try a 34GG next.
Straps adjust all the way big plus for me A little tight in the back (extender fixes it perfect and when it stretches in/i lose a bit more weight should be perfect) nice light padding that has plenty of flexibility Good shaped cups for me somewhere between half cup and plunge I would say. All in all my new favourite.
Just comfortable all over, and the sides are not too high up so don't cut into arms.
Unlike the stock photo the flower detail is only on top half of cup but I don't really care
This is my new favourite bra. It feels like wearing nothing, and that's not a hyperbole--yet my breasts are lifted and rounded. Super comfortable, and pretty in a subtle way.
I'm a little in between sizes, I've concluded, or just FOB, so I tend to have issues with upper cup wrinkles (while a 28D is usually too small). I get a little wrinkling here but it's not bad. The wires are also a little farther/wider than where my breasts start (they fit best in more U-shaped wires), but that doesn't at all affect comfort for me, so I don't mind.
I really love this bra. It is so cute and feminine. I love the lace and the detail on it. The bra is very comfortable and I have no problems with the center gore at all. I have the white bra thats in the picture. I bought this bra from another user.
I have this in the white version with blue flowers. I'd say the cups run flexible to a little big -- a bit like Cleo Marcie. The lace is soft and pretty, feels very smooth against the skin, and it's stretchy in the middle. Its shape reminds me a lot of Marcie too, but it's more closed on top and is obviously in the Curvy Kate family. Unlike most CK bras, the wires are narrow. I think that people who Cleo Bella Balconnet Bra (7001) works for will find success with this bra, but be sure to go a size down from your typical size.
Fits the same as the Curvy Kate Ella, similar to the Emily. It's a lovely bra and fits me perfectly, but the shape just isn't what I prefer. It will work for someone who gets on well with Curvy Kate and Flirtelle.
It's almost perfect, I just don't like the shape it gives very much. Because the cup has three "pieces", the boob shape becomes a little pointy. The band stretches well. It is comfortable! The pink with the black lace is lovely, even though the lace is not very strong.

FIT : Band width was good. Too much cup, not enough breast. Wires too wide on the side (Curvy Kate 32E is already almost at the halfway point of my ribs on side, this bra went past that point).
QUALITY : the bra in person....well...the quality is not what online retail pictures want you to believe. The bra cup is super shiny thick polyester fabric (thick is good, support and structure!) but the sssssssuuuuuper shiny sheen of the material makes it look even cheaper than the price tag was. The lace at the top wasn't remarkable either, rather...cheap too? But to be fair, I bought mine at a lowish price, so you get what you paid for.
LOTS of projection. Built like a pluge with the lower gore, but the lace keeps me from spilling to the middle. The gore was a touch painful after several hours, but that resolved with a little bending. Lace is delicate though, I put a small hole on or trying to adjust the gore.
Love this bra, just wish it fit a little better. The band is super stretchy, so this is one to go down a size in. Otherwise, it's pretty comfortable. It doesn't poke or cut into the sides.
Still trying to figure out what fits me (cup wise). This was too large as I didn't fully fill the cups (could fit a c-shaped push-up bra padding in by my breast & still have loose fabric). I'm sure once all my tissue migrates back to my breasts I'll be larger than what I am. My band tends to be about the same (34) but I like to buy them tight (32) as I've had issues with bands stretching out too easily in the past. The band was slightly a bit tight on this one for me. I tend to measure: 35" loose, 33" snug, and 32" tight. I feel without support when I get a 34" band.
