I own several of these Cosabella NSN Curvy Sweetie Bras, mostly in size P. This is one of the few size XS that I have tried.

Cosabella recommends the following sizing:
P Curvy: 28-30 DD-E
XS Curvy: 30-32 DD-E

These are great bralettes, but the challenge with these is that the P is very tight in the bust area, while the XS is a little roomy in the bust and comes up a little tall on me for my tastes. Because of this, and because these tend to be more expensive than the regular NSN Sweetie Bralettes, I've ended up returning all the other XS ones I purchased in the ... past.

However, I saw this beautiful Dusty Basil color on Amazon for around $20 and decided to go for it again. The Cosabella lace bralettes fit very differently depending on the color, so I hoped that these would come in a little snug. Thankfully, they did! They measure on the smaller end of TTS for the band, and TTS in the full bust:

Full bust circumference: 77 cm
Band circumference: 50.5 cm

The band is significantly smaller than the regular NSN Sweetie Bralettes, and the bust circumference is slightly larger, but the main difference is that the cup is double lined with mesh, giving it much more support, and the gore is significantly higher, which makes the cup more full coverage than the regular NSN Sweetie style.
However, the actual cup height measures about the same as size S of the NSN Sweetie.

The roomier cup is less minimizing than the size P bras I already own, and in my current size, it is a pretty good fit, although the higher cup height/gore is not to my taste and is the only thing I really dislike about the styling of this bra. However, I discovered that this is super comfortable and looks great if you add some foam inserts for shaping and modesty. Since I am working from home these days, many of my non-underwired bralettes don't give enough shaping and support for video calls, and I find underwire bras too uncomfortable to wear while sitting down. This is the perfect solution, and looks good under clothing!

Dusty Basil is actually a beautiful pale pistachio ice cream shade. It is a little brighter and more blue than a pale mint green.

This came in a set of 3 that was supposed to include Miami Pink, but the color does not match Miami Pink (which I also have). It was missing the original tag.

This color is of average stretchiness and is relatively supportive.

Full bust circumference: 70 cm
Band circumference: 55 cm

The color is a cool-toned orchid pink. It is cooler and a little lighter than Miami Pink and Dragon Fruit.

Blue Mediterraneo is MUCH stretchier than average and is less supportive, and measures and fits like a M. The band in particular is less supportive than other colors. I have ordered 7 of these and they ALL run large.

Full bust circumference: 74 cm
Band circumference: 60 cm

The color is a beautiful rich deep Caribbean turquoise. It is more blue than green, and is a lighter, more blue version than Jade.

The color is a true medium purple, lighter and less intense than a grape purple or royal purple. This color is slightly warm-toned.

Unfortunately I purchased this, along with the PETITE - Cosabella » Trenta Soft Bra (TRENT1301), in wholly the wrong size. I thought it was from the Cosabella Curvy line, but it was actually a regular Cosabella bralette, not Curvy. The typical Cosabella bralette sizing for a standard bralette is very different than that of a Curvy bralette. The Petite I ordered is intended to accommodate sizes 28A-30C.

I ordered this lace bralette during my hunt for a comfortable wirefree bra that either has separate band and cup sizing, or uses S/M/L sizing but accommodates small band large cup sizing. I had heard good things about the Cosabella Curvy line of bralettes, but the one I was looking at (the Cosabella Sweetie) didn’t have a clasp. I came across two others, the Trenta Bralette and the Dolce Bralette, that did have clasps, so I ordered them.

Cosabella bralettes are S/M/L, but they have two sizes below S: Petite and X-Small. In the Curvy line of Cosabella bralettes, a Petite accommodates sizes from 28DD-30F in US sizing. ... That’s a little smaller than my usual size, but within the bracket of potentially fitting me, so I ordered a Petite in each style. The next size up, X-Small, is intended for sizes 30DD-32F in US sizing, so I worried the band would be too big, especially given that bralettes are typically less supportive than full bras.

This is really the main mistake I made here: the Trenta and P - Cosabella » Dolce Soft Bra (DOLCE1301) that I ordered were not part of the Curvy line. When they came they did seem to have a lot less fabric than I was expecting, but I thought maybe they were just very low-coverage. Upon trying them on, I realized the issue. The typical Cosabella bralette sizing for a standard bralette is very different than that of a Curvy bralette. The Petite I ordered was intended to accommodate sizes 28A-30C.

I had high hopes for this bralette, but unfortunately they were dashed. I don’t know if mine is mislabeled or what but this supposedly fits up to a 30F, and I just don’t buy it. The search continues.

My shape: close set, center full, full on bottom, average/narrow width roots, tall shallow roots, semi soft tissue.

The lace on this bralette is beautiful and the color is truly gorgeous. The size small is a little too big in the band for me, the back rides up and I can feel it is too loose. The cups are okay and don't seem too big, it looks more fuller coverage than the size XS - Cosabella » Never Say Never Curvy Sweetie Soft Bra (NEVER1 . The straps on this bralette are thicker, wider, feel sturdier and are longer than size XS as well which I liked more. However, the straps are adjusted to their shortest length, so I could not shorten them more with time if I were to keep this. This is probably a good bralette for those who always need longer straps, have a longer torso, or are low-set.

Cosabella seem to understand the needs of small band medium bust people really well. The cups are roomy and would allow some projection. I think it should be able to fit up to 28E/F but maybe not FF and above. The bralette is not overly stiff/constructed, so it feels comfy and supportive without being restricting like a sports bra. The band is a bit loose but not too loose for me (26.5" underbust), and because of its width, it does not ride up. Thanks to the slight looseness, I am able to pull it over my shoulders and bust without any difficulty and pain. I would prefer it ... to be a bit tighter with hooks on the back, but I am happy with the current design. Cons: the lace pills a bit after several wears, and the underband would roll up with the tension. Also, I can see it being less supportive for larger sizes if it is constructed in the same way in L/XL. But overall, this is a great bralette for people with small ribcages and medium bust--I would say better than all other bralettes I have tried.
