Used to fit

So like the other Emily, this one is more true to 28 band-which is odd for any CK bras. As with the other, I had to have the band manually entered because it is apparently wrong-but again, while it *can* stretch to 29," it begins to warp as it does so. I do not count the extra stretch when it's clearly warping the bra if you pull it too much. I think part of the issue with measuring the band is that many people count that extra stretch anyway, perhaps because they're not aware that it's warping the bra, or perhaps because they figure that it can in fact stretch that much. Doesn't make it good for the bra though.

The cup on this Emily is perfect. I'd say it fits like my 28H Romance, but with a less stretchy band. Comfier than the 28H, likely because a too small cup can make a band seem tighter than it is. In reality, the bands of the two stretch the same amount (as they should, since they're the same bra in another color and a cup size up), but it doesn't bother my fit because it fits in the cup.

It's a very interesting and intricate bra. I am fairly impressed actually because you don't see this much intricacy from CK usually. I don't believe they have any other bras in their current collection that are quite as intricate-though the Dare and Daisy chain are closer than the rest of them. I like it, though I am not in love with the funny taupey colored detailing. The blue is very pretty though.

For $9, I couldn't pass it up (obviously!). It'll get worn for sure, even if it's not my favorite bra. So far it's pretty comfy, but I haven't worn it for very long yet.

This bra is not owned any more
