The CK Desire has a bunch of bad reviews, so you can imagine my enthusiasm when I received one in a Breakout Bras grab bag a while back. Having seen some very bad fits on user submitted pics, I expected my boobs to suffer a similar fate. The cut reminds me of the CK Elegance without all the silly swirly cup embellishments. For the record, I had the worst luck with the CK Elegance in 28GG.

First impressions: the bra itself looks pretty standard. It’s a multiway and potentially a strapless plunge (if you like taking big risks in life) with some pretty big goofy straps in a 28GG. Did they make the straps out of waistband elastic? Shit’s too wide to make me feel desirable. BOOM. See what I did there? https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> Another thing about these straps is how easily they come off the bra. If the bra is strapped on your shoulder, there’s enough strap tension there to keep those bad boys from self-detaching and making a quick dive for the floor. However, as soon as there’s any bit of slack or especially when you are pulling the straps over and onto your shoulder, some unknown force will send the straps flying off your bra leaving you no choice but to reattach them while wearing the bra.

Now on to shape. My, oh my. I do understand what other reviewers have noted; the cup design gives a very peculiar shape. Imagine your boob assumes a rounded teardrop shape in this 3 part cup bra. Now picture that the shape is round except for your inner boob where there’s a sharp corner running along the upper panel of the 3 part cup as if they shoved a ruler into this section of the bra. This look is no bueno for the following shapes: FOT, FOB, evenly full, shallow, projected, medium projection (did I miss any shapes?). Additionally, this bra also has a tendency to drag boobs to point east/west as if they recently got into an argument and are not on talking terms. You can see this effect mostly on my forward facing picture due to the telling shadows. I was probably having PMS boobs that week and was majorly overfilling the cups which appears to have countered a bit of the “ruler-lined” effect of this bra. Denser boobs will fare slightly better shape-wise in this bra, but you’d basically need to put a shot put ball in the cup if you wanted to round out that weird edge.

I didn’t like the bra.

  Humorous review, Gemmy ! I especially liked:
  "...drag boobs to point east/west as if they recently got into an argument and are not on talking terms..."
  and
  "...sharp corner running along the upper panel of the 3 part cup as if they shoved a ruler into this section..."

  Good to know I can cross both the Curvy Kate Desire and Elegance off my list. Thanks!

• This review cracks me up. Thank you for taking your experience with such an ill-fitting bra and turning it into such a hilarious review!

  Also, the back looks like some kind of bandage. And those straps are crazy wide!
  

• Holy crap those straps are wide. I thought my 65FF - Ewa Michalak » Chp Słowianki (507) was bad. Shame about the fit. I wonder if it works on any one.

  earningaboutbras glad you enjoyed the read. I'm still perplexed at how such a normal looking bra can commit such crimes to boob.

  @ladyinblue there are not many redeeming qualities about this bra. At least i get great cleavage in it--well if you're willing to ignore the part of my boob suddenly that goes concave.

  @gratiat I also wonder if it works on anyone. The bra even gives a wonky shape to their models.

• I can't seem to edit my comment. The first part was to learningaboutbras
