First putting on this bra it felt tight. A bit more sturdy perhaps than my previous bras. I wore this bra around the house for about an hour and found that the tightness loosened a bit and it felt still firm but I'm unsure if it would be comfortable long-term. Then I came to a new problem - the straps. They are too rough on the edges and left marks on my near my under arm crease where my arm meets my chest.

• the problem of straps rubbing your under arm crease is prbably caused by too tiht band. Ellace runs tight. I wear usually 30 but could stand even 5 min in 30 band. Also got one for my mom in 38, where she wears bras in 36-38, its was snug on her

• thanks martka00 ! I didn't know it ran tight. I also got a "tropics" curvykate and the band size is totally comfortable in a 34, but the cups fit (miracle!) so I'm willing to go up in band size :D

• I found the Ellace cups too tall and wide at the top, along with very wide set straps. I didn't think the band was tight on the Ellace but I guess that depends on the band size. Do you have to angle the straps in a lot? That would suggest they are set too wide and can be causing the marks.

• The straps are definitely too wide. But the cups are as close as they’ll ever be.

• I hate how Curvy Kate places straps (wide front and back so they never feel secure) and the poor quality of the strap material. The fit of the cup on you looks really good. Ellace is so deep and short and I don't know of any other bra like it. If you sew I can help with strap solutions. Otherwise I'll think about other possibilities for you.
