Previously I tried 32K - Curvy Kate » Victory Balcony (9001) and 34J - Curvy Kate » Victory Balcony (9001) and I already gave up on it. When I found this bra from a local online shop, I took the chance to try this bra with free shipping / return.

The 34HH is the best size for me in this style. The band fits just like a 32 band. The cups are only slightly too tall and wide but if I swoop and scoop properly I can almost fill them. It looks like there is light quadboob going on, since I would need a bit more depth at the gore. The gore is very difficult on this bra. It won't lie flat in any size that I tried so far. (Not even in sizes that were clearly too big like the 32K) I have to really arrange my boobs a lot in the cups to get gore close to tack. I think that is because the bra has a lot of room on top and on the sides but not where I need it the most: at the center.

The shape under a t-shirt is really good, no east west look from the front and a round not too projected shape from the side. I fear that it won't be supportive enough for a full day of wear. The construction is too weak for my boobs. I find the wires and fabric too flimsy and I really dislike the thin shoulder straps. I was really tempted to keep this bra as I have no bras that fit currently, but I think it's better to pass on it.

This bra is not owned any more

  Oooh! It’s soooo good on you! Best I’ve seen! Sorry it’s not a perfect fit but it’s really close!

• Thanks :) You know what? I almost removed tags and call it a good fit. Then I remembered how often I did that and the bra ended up being to weak for full day wear :/ I wore it für 30 min and if felt ok during that time. Then on the next day I wanted to do this again and it felt weaker already. I'm glad I can still return it.

  I second (or third?) veggiechic & Frazzleberry. It looks like the best fit so far. Progress is a beautiful thing. 💙

• Maybe keep the tags on and try it some more. Maybe it’s not a perfect fit, but it’s good enough?

• Hi Calluna Dear,

  I think it's close to a good fit for an otherwise delicious bra. However...

  The gore portion is too weak IMHO.

  A flaw in scaling the design to such high cup letters.

  Is the lower part of the gore elastic ?

  The gore is an essential structural reinforcement. It must resist the downward bending momentum and other forces by anchoring underwires to a solid structure.

  Otherwise, the gore will creep down.

  I would try 4 layers of thin nylon mesh with grains oriented 45 degrees relative to each other. Then give it 3 - 4 finely spaced crossed "quilt" stitches, cut to shape and fine stitch on the inner side of the gore, well connected to the underwire pockets.

  The aim being to shorten the lower portion of the gore and prevent it from stretching of flexing.

  Hopefully the underwires have enough beef to take it ;)

  A bit of overkill, lol Hon, I like experimenting ;)

  Have a super day, best regards,

  Mathy

• Tagging alisa as she’s the owner of the bra, not me, and can answer your questions femineaaeterna. :)
