Pretty bra, very soft fabric. It's wide enough to get your whole breast without digging into your armpit.

You really do have to try them on. Same company, same general style, same size, different fit.

My guess is that the cups are too large, but It might not be a good cut for me because my breasts are bottom heavy. I can't fill the top of the cup, which is a very pretty embroidery over net.

The band size feels good, and I'm having the same chafing problem with the straps as I do with other bras.

I noticed that this bra doesn't have the same attention to detail as my other flirtelle bras - there are lots of tiny loose thread ends on this bra. The workmanship appears a bit rushed.

My boobs are close in the center, wide and shallow at the root, full on bottom.

Some 34Es fit me, but Flirtelle and Curvy Kate are far too large. I won't be posting pics of this one because the cups are simply way too big.

I do like: the wide underwires
I don't like: the high center gore which cuts into my close breasts

After advice here and doing a lot of searching around the site, I decided that since I liked the Flirtelle Orchid so well that I would continue exploring fit with that brand.

Band: The band is snugger than I've felt but it's not uncomfortable or constricting. On the largest hook, I can slide two fingers underneath - if I add them one at a time. The third won't, though, and that's how the band is supposed to fit.

Cup: I've never seen this. Cup is completely smooth. there isn't a gap or a wrinkle. My nipples sit right where they're supposed to, and no chafing or itchiness.

Wires: the wires don't come up as high on the sides. I wonder if that is all right, but I'm not sure.

Straps: I think I might have narrow shoulders, because this bra chafes a bit in front. I guess it's not a perfect fit, but it's close, it's really close.

The seaming is well done. There are no loose threads. Visible stitching is even. Seams are neatly bound.

I really, really like this bra. It's not much to look at - quite plain and simple - but it's incredibly comfy and the fit is really good for me. I think Flirtelle / Curvy Kate's cup shape on this style of bra is always going to be really good on me, and I'm slowly collecting as many as I can.

There's no digging in on the sternum or straps, the band fits well and it seems to have survived a good few wears and washes without stretching out too much. The only con is the fact it's a bit boring, but for an everyday bra that'll work under most clothes and stay in place all day, it's a good one!
