I've been eying the this bra for a while and finally took the plunge when it went on sale. I noticed when looking on the entries for my usual size (28GG) that the cups seem to run small. I'm pretty sure this is intended to give the "sexy" effect, but I wasn't too keen on that so I went ahead and ordered a size up. In the end, I'm glad I did, because it juuuust fits.

The design is definitely alluring, in particular with the berry/black, but doesn't have quite the oomph I was expecting. That could be because I ordered up a size, but I know there's other ways to make a bra cleavage-y without just making it too small in the cups, so it's just a teensy bit disappointing. For all the cleavage hype, the cups are suprisingly tall and spaced, imo. The straps are very wide set, much too wide for me. If I were to wear the straps where the bra wants them to be, they'd be slipping off my shoulder all day long and I'd get gaping at the top edge, so I have to pull them in to sit in the right place. The sides don't poke for me, but if you typically have issues with tall, wideset cups poking armpits then you'll probably get that problem in this bra. The padding is very light, the material itself isn't itchy or uncomfortable for me, but I've noticed the lace at the top of the cup can give the illusion of gaping, even though the top of the cup is flat against the breast. The wires are also pretty wide, but that's basically a given with Curvy Kate. They're stiff but not stabby. The bra has three hooks and the band is on the strechier side of a 28, more like a 30.

Over all, I love it, and the SO gives it two thumbs up https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

Edit: Unfortunately, after wearing this bra a few times, I've discovered it's SO shallow at the bottom that during wear my boobs will actually push the bra out of my imframmary fold and down my ribs, where it will chafe. So, daily wear is out https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Still good for special occassions!
