Didn't fit

Had to return this one - it was a bad fit. The cups were too small for a start but also the wrong shape. I made the same mistake with the CK Angel which was a better size but still the wrong shape. My boobs are very tear-drop shaped and bottom-heavy, they just don't seem to work with CK styles like these. The band is also clearly too big.

On the plus side, it is a lovely looking bra and well made. If you can buy it in the right size it would be a great addition to your underwear draw.

Another issue was the centre gore which dug into my skin so hard it left a bruise!

Pros:
Pretty fabric and pattern
Nice colour contrast (the pink is very bold though)
Well made and good quality materials
Good for top-heavy boobs and those that fit well into CK and Freya styles

Cons:
Not good for bottom-heavy boobs
The band is rather loose
Not good for
Very painful centre gore

This bra is not owned any more
