Hallelujah, I found a bralette that (mostly) fits! I had been debating trying out Cosabella's Ultra Curvy bralettes for a while, but the high price tag and initial size chart confusion a year back put me off. The sizing for the medium seems to be reasonably consistent with the size chart: the max size recommended for this bralette is a 36HH, and my size is roughly the same volume (32JJ-K). The cups are maybe slightly too small out towards my armpits, and the band could be a bit tighter, but overall, this is very comfortable. While I wouldn't say no to an ... Ultra Curvy + if Cosabella decides to make one in the future for J+ cups, this is certainly workable for now. I'm grateful this is available, as I'm unfortunately sized out of all of Curvy Kate's bralettes.
Note (since the "bras that also fit her" seems to be acting a bit weird at the moment): my best fitting bras right now for frame of reference are 32JJ - Elomi » Mariella Banded Bra (EL4420) , 32JJ - Elomi » Sachi Plunge Bra (4350) , and 32K - Comexim » Tara Non Padded Half Cup 3hc Underwire Longline .

Palm Aloe colorway

Updated on Aug 10, 2022 Flag this

The fit of this is identical to the M - » Never Say Never Ultra Curvy Sweetie Bralette (N Cosabella in Palm Aloe that I previously reviewed--almost perfect except for a miniscule bit of overflow at the armpit. I've been wearing this bralette nonstop for the past 3 days: 1 at work, 2 at home. I finally took it off so I could get some measurements for it. The only downside to this particular bralette is that there are already quite a few loose threads sticking out on it. I'd be more upset if I had paid full price for it, but seeing as I got it more than half off on Amazon, I can't gripe too much.
Something I think I forgot to mention in my other reviews of these Cosabella bralettes: while they're very comfortable, they are NOT supportive. My breasts sit lower and bounce more when I walk. I get away with it at work since most people dress casually (jeans and T-shirts), but it wouldn't fly in a business casual office.

This review is for the Cosabella Never Say Never ULTRA Curvy Sweetie Bralette in Medium, color Rosetto. My ABTF size is 32G or 34 FF UK. I chose this based on my experience the other Never Say Never styles and their sizing chart.

OVERALL SUMMARY - DON'T TRUST THEIR SIZING CHART.

Band:
* Runs a little loose.

Wires:
* None.

Cups:
* MUCH larger than the 34-36 GG-HH they indicate. Or perhaps it would work better for someone much more full on top or self-supporting. Laying flat, the height is about 10 inches. (I'm not sure how to guesstimate the size this actually is since it's so much larger than I am.)

Straps:
* ... The straps are adjustable and very long.

Fabric:
* The lace is a little scratchy to me, but not bad. And it's new.

Hardware:
* The strap hardware is matching.

About me: very close set (breasts touch), very narrow roots, very projected at the wire, full on bottom, short roots, soft tissue, significant rib flares, narrow shoulders.

FIT

* The band length was looser than I expected. It stretches to 39. I show the sizing guide info below. I like a looser band, around a 34. The Medium runs about a 36 or 38, I think.
* With no wires, there is no gore so it's definitely a uniboob bra.
* The cups are MUCH larger than the 34-36 GG-HH they indicate. Or perhaps it would work better for someone much more full on top or self-supporting. Laying flat, the height is about 10 inches. (I'm not sure how to guesstimate the size this actually is since it's so much larger than I am.)
* The straps are adjustable and very long.

OVERALL IMPRESSION
* This is a wonderful option for small band, large cup. Just don't trust the sizing chart. See my other Cosabella reviews for a comparison of the other styles.

FROM THEIR WEBISTE:
* Wireless bralette designed for ultra-fuller busts with smaller bands.
* Soft stretch, non-sheer scalloped lace lined with power mesh for support.
* Sweetheart neckline and non-padded cups.
* Pull-on style.
* Wide, adjustable, lace and elastic straps.
* Lace: 93% polyamide, 7% elastane
* Lining: 85% polyamide, 15% elastane
* Size Guide (partial): XS is for UK 30-32 G-H, S is for UK 32-34 G-GG, M is for UK 34-36 GG-HH.

Rosetto colorway

This bra is not owned any more

I already have a M - Cosabella » Never Say Never Ultra Curvy Sweetie Bralette (N in Palm Aloe that I've reviewed, and this one in Sole (warm yellow) is very similar. The band is a little looser, and the bust seems to be a smidge larger. I've had this on since last night (24 hours and counting), and it was comfortable to sleep and lounge around in. The color is more flattering on me than I would have expected.
