Used to fit

I love this bra. I will say now that I've been wearing it for a few hours cleaning the house that it is a bit scratchy, but I think when I wash it it will be fine. I have not fallen out of it bending over, going up and down stairs, lifting things, etc. I love the narrow wires and the cool transparent mesh. I do not like the precious pink bows (how are pink bows sexy?) or the embroidery on the top of the cup, but the rest of the bra is very sexy. The gore is low, a real plunge, the gore tacks, the wires are pretty close to following my IMF, a smidge high under the armpits, but the cups are pretty close to the height of my short roots. The straps are fully adjustable. They are too wide for me and when I angle them in my larger side quads but when I put them where they should be they are off my shoulders. The back has stretch, but not as much as some (looking at you, Florence). Again, I love this bra and I love all the shirts I had to put away that I will now be able to wear again. Oh, the seams and embroidery are not very visible either. 9/10.

Black/Pink colorway

  • Did the fabric soften after washing?

  • cupandahalf This is just in case you have notifications turned off. Insurance ;-)

  • Yes but not enough to make it super comfy. It's still a little scratchier than the Bardot for reference. I'm so sad because it's my best fit besides the straps which I haven't gotten around to fixing yet.

  • Thank you. When you find a comfy CK plunge that fits as well, I'll order it immediately. Atomic looks like it could be softer. I tried Dare and hated the material.

    I'm going to try Atomic when it comes out in Plum. I adore mid mod style so I'm kinda excited. Thanks for that about Dare! Will avoid.

    Is it not amazing the size difference but shape concerns we share? I've been working on my Curvy Kate blog roundup. I'm kind of having fun being the CK expert ;)

    Yes and I'm not full on top, but the short roots characteristic is a better prediction of fit. Thank you for trail blazing :-) :-)

    Plum: swooning. There is a melon Atomic for $9.99. Great price, but I'll wait for plum, too.
