Question on Curvy Kate Showgirl sizing
Hi folks, I am desperate to try the Curvy Kate Fleurty. It's SO gorgeous, and I love the idea of that "Showgirl" cleavage without all the frills along the top of the cup.
I normally take a UK 36F, (CK Smoothie fits me well in that size), but the only place I can find still selling that size is at full price. Normally I'm fine with that, but A) this wouldn't be an everyday bra and B) I've pretty much had to buy all new bras in the last month, so I'm reluctant to spend $72 even if it's that beautiful.
I did find someone selling a 36E for a much more affordable price. On paper, according to my measurements/that bra's measurements, it shouldn't fit. However, I find that Freya Deco fits me best in 36E (even with slight gaping still) and Fleurty's listed measurements in that size are not far off from Deco's. Plus, I have a full size difference between sides and 36E is really the best no-gaping fit for the smaller side. I know the shape of the bra makes a big difference overall. I'm quite full on bottom and it seems like sizing down could be the right choice anyway. Does anyone think this is a bra I could maybe fit in a 36E, or should I hold out for my regular size?

It probably won't fit. The Deco runs large and Showgirl runs small. I'd look into 36FF or 34G since the Smoothie also runs large in the cup and firmer in the band than most showgirl bras (though they seem to be rectifying this slowly, so the 36FF might be the better suggestion).
