The shape of these cups works very well for me. They are padded so they give a bit of lift. Overall, it is very soft and comfy. It is technically not as tight in the band as it ought to be, but I find "proper" tightness to be very uncomfortable, so there's no complaint there. After wearing it out for a day, I can say that the looseness of the band isn't enough to be problematic: it stayed put right where it needed to be. With wear, I also noticed that the underwire does what a lot of bras do on me; it lines up just so with my ribs, ...so I can feel a bit of bruising if I wear it too long. The wires themselves sit flat against my ribcage and are the perfect width; it's just an unfortunate position that they sit in, which makes them feel a bit pokey. I usually wear a 30C, but the sales associate said the cups on this CK bra fit small, and she was very much right. I tried the C as well and there was a lot of spill-over. Read more 79 more words
Fit mostly well, but the cups are too close for someone who is wide set. The gore ends up digging into the sternum making it really uncomfortable and actually painful.
This was the first bra I went out and bought once I got my real size. It's simple and I'm very glad it came in nude! The band is still much too loose and is very stretchy and I wish the wires continued a little bit more in the center gore area. Otherwise this bra fits very well. I might consider taking in the band length if I muster up enough courage to cut an expensive bra.
This is one of the first bras I found to fit my shallow, teardrop shaped breasts. Unfortunately, despite proper rotation and wear of this bra, the elastic does wear out rather quickly. If I didn't have so many problems finding cups that fit, I would not find it to be worth the cost.
I got this bra from another user who altered it down to a 28D. This bra is really comfortable, gives great shape and works wonderfully under a t-shirt. Probably my best fitting bra so far.
I got this bra at Nordstrom early in my experimentation with moving from 34A's and 32B's to 30D's (a size I had never even heard of before reading sites like this). It seems to be a good fit on my 28" ribcage, except that now I know the cup is a bit too small for my larger breast. It is very comfortable when I first put it on, but after 4 or 5 hours my ribs start to ache. Not sure why... by the measurements it does not seem like the band is too small for me. Don't know if sizing up to 30DD would stop the aching.
Edited to add: I tried a 30DD and it is much better. Comfy all day and no aching ribs!
this is the most comfortable bra i own so far but it's too small in the cup, especially at the top but my breasts are pretty full on top. i think perhaps i should have ordered a cup larger but for now a little quad boob is tolerable.
I bought this bra in a 30D while in denial of being a 30DD of the same brand after my 30DD had worn out a bit. Lo and behold, the cups are too small. Bought another 30DD and love it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
One of the many bras of this type and size I owned https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
The fabric is quite luxurious, I loved all of them to pieces but unfortunately these cups no longer fit me.
I think the ivory colour is the prettiest, it looks great with any skin colour and the lace detailing is so pretty!
Unfortunately, I think the ivory one tend to be the stretchiest because of the dye, so it was one of the first to get altered down into a smaller band size after a few wears.
It runs small in the band, so I would recommend going up 1 or 2 band sizes. The 30 works well for me because my ribcage is about 25 inches.
I wish that the underwires at the center didn't go up as high, because it digs into my breast tissue there and it hurts quite a lot, pressing into my sternum and leaving red marks.
Not a bra I would wear everyday because it cuts into the top of my breasts slightly, making it look bad under shirts that are not low cut.
Overall, I really like this bra and would wear it for special occasions but the underwires make it too uncomfortable to wear as an everyday bra.
I really like this bra, and although I wish they had 28s, I like it a lot. It's strapless so it's made to fit a little tighter than their normal 30s so that may be why it fits well. It's actually my most comfortable bra so far, it's a little more full coverage and the inside is all finished nicely.
I own 5 of these bras in 30D, 2 which has lasted over the course of 2 years, 3 are new.
They feel tighter than most 30's, which is good because my ribcage measures only about 25 inches, but not so tight that a 30 wouldn't be able to fit in it. I have also altered the bands to fit tighter as they stretched out over the course of about a year.
I really like that the cups are seamless and there is a little padding on the bottom to make a nice shape overall, but not enough to add much size.
Maybe it is because my ribcage is smaller than the intended sizing of this bra, but it does not give as much support as my Freya Deco bra, but I prefer this shape more.
The other strapless that I now quad boob out of. I got this one first before getting the Deco strapless. Both are great bras but I prefer the Deco because like most Calvin Kein bras I have it seems to minimise my bust. They both have their place and since I really don't need a strapless that often I will keep this one around too. If it comes down to it and I grow too big for either of these bras to be useful at all I won't buy another one of these, I'll buy another Deco strapless.
The cups on this bra run big for Calvin Klein anyways. The wires are wide, the cup is shallow and slightly stretchy. It gives a very rounded minimised shape. The band like all Calvin Klein runs small and fits more like a 28 back.
I've had this bra for over a year now. I'm on the middle hooks and still going strong. This bra fits great except for TOM when I have a bit of quad boob from it. I like this bra for being very comfortable and for being very forgiving in the cups with size changes. I don't care much for the minimised round profile it gives my boobs. However, this bra has its place and I will continue to wear it till it dies unless my boobs decide to grow another cup in a year in which case I will be too big for it no matter what.
Pictures are from when my boobs were about a cup smaller than they are now.
The band is pretty tight, but the cups are waaaay too small. I like the cleavage it produces, and the fabric is smooth, soft and comfortable. I think it could be a nice everyday bra if I can get the cups to fit. I'm thinking that going up a cup size or two would work for me.
