    36HH

    Didn't fit

    I have never worn an underwire before because bras never seemed to fit correctly - and of course now I know why! Out of the two I have recently purchased, I really like Curvy Kate better than Goddess. They have a better overall feel to the material and more give in the band. Which is probably why this particular bra didn't fit me. My measurements make me either a 34J or a 36HH. As the Goddess band was nice and tight, I went for the same band in Curvy Kate. But being more "properly" made, the band was technically too large. Although the band ... did not ride up in the back, I was able to pull it away from my body a whole knuckle's worth! This is also probably the reason why the straps didn't seem to be in the right position for me either as they are at the edge of the bra instead of the centre which I am used to in soft cup/wireless bras. It may also be the reason why the gore wasn't keeping my breasts separated (cups seemed to be too close together). I would therefore recommend to go with a smaller band in Curvy Kate if you are between two band sizes.

    With this particular model, the cups are a lined foam-like material. The outside appears to be sewn into the foam while the inside material is loose and soft to the touch. The only decoration to this bra, being made to wear under a tight shirt, is a contrasting colour along the edges and a small bow on the straps. It was very comfortable to wear. For washing, I would definitely recommend a molded cup bra bag for a handwash cycle on the washing machine in order to keep its shape.

    I will definitely try another bra in Curvy Kate.

    Didn't fit

    Decent bra, but not a great fit. The wires are a little too short for me to feel secure (I have a bit of empty space along the sides as well) and the bottom of the cups don't have enough space for immediate projection; creasing and sagging ensues. That being said, for someone moderately projected and even-to-FOT, this could be a winner.

    For me, the cups are too small. I am more of a FF cup, and the bra is more shallow than what I need.

    30GG

    Didn't fit

    I had really high hopes for this bra after my heartbroken moment with 30GG - Curvy Kate » Arizona Balcony Bra (CK3801) . To recap, the Arizona in Denim fit me better than any bra I've ever tried. It was literally my dream bra. Except for one thing, the top diagonal panel was defective, either due to manufacturing or packaging, and wouldn't lie flat. It bulged out, mimicking a severe quadboob. I know that Arizona comes in a new pattern, but it is hard to find in the US. I did try it in person in the UK this summer when it first came out. The ... Denim one actually fit me better with less empty material below the the strap. So I am torn.

    After a little back and forth on Twitter with CK, I decided to try the Daily Boost. (As I understand it, Curvy Kate Daily Dream Balcony Bra (CK4501) is actually closer to Arizona, but that style replaced Daily Boost and I found some Daily Boosts at a great price.) Anyway, it was wishful thinking.

    This bra is terrible. I ordered it in a 30GG, but it seems to have the same sizing problem I have with 30G - Curvy Kate » Starlet Moulded Bra (CK2501). That is, the 30G is too small and the 30GG has too much room. So this bra has a lot of gaping and I have to tighten the straps nearly all the way, which means that it goes up too high in my armpits. The straps are too wide set to accommodate that, so it makes for uncomfortable rubbing on the sides of the cups. It also feels like I'm spilling towards the gore and will come out of the bra if I bend down. Towards the outer sides of the cups, I get folding where I don't have enough outer tissue to fill it. I fill out the bottom of the cup well and there's no cutting in on top, but it just can't accommodate my high and short roots. The cups are probably too tall at the strap side and the angle down to the gore too severe. To top it off, the profile on this bra is super pointy and I feel droopy in it. The only plus side is that the band is TTS.

    Next stop, Daily Dream - as soon as I can find one cheap enough.

    I am also going to add here that I caved and bought two of these bras from Amazon. They were at least 30% cheaper than the next cheapest place, so I went against my better judgement. Every bra I've ever ordered from Amazon has arrived crushed. This was no exception. Both bras were packed together in a single unpadded envelope. One was folded into its own cups and the other was just flat packed. Both have permanent creases in the cups from being stored/packed/shipped that way. Even if I wanted them, I'd probably have to send one of them back because it's unwearable (the creases don't let the cup lie flat) and maybe put up with one damaged one because you can't see the damage as much when wearing it. I continually write packaging reports to Amazon, apparently with no impact thus far. If you have a similar problem with Amazon, please fill out packaging feedback reports (in your order history) so we can potentially change this, though I admit they'll probably ignore us.

    Photos coming soon.

    Didn't fit

    I am sad to say that this is not my favourite bra. The cups are on the large side and is VERY pointy !

    Band is just slightly loose I guess the wing material is not as strong and sturdy as the starlet or smoothie for example.

    Definitely not my favourite bra but is comfortable to wear, so will wear it under jumpers.

    Bottom line: fits large and makes my boobs look big and pointy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

      you're right about the pointedness. I used to own this bra and I disliked how it was made for people with an extreme conical shape, that is to say, short roots, shallow on all edges of their breasts, but with a good amount of projection at the apex. I think I had "orange in a cone".

    • I'm really glad I saw your review; they were on sale at Amazon and I was thinking about buying one. Thanks!

    28G

    Hasn't set fit

    A surprise find at thrift store. Unfortunately not my size at all (28D) and I don't have any prior experience with Curvy Kate so I have no idea about this bra. It's a lined three-part seamed balconette bra. Tan-coloured with a white trim on the top of the cups and bows. Compared to the other Daily Boost I found in 28F, the 28G feels much flimsier.

    Didn't fit

    The band on this one definitely is larger than my Cleos- even brand new I'm wearing it on the tightest setting. I don't quite fill the tops of the cups, but that part is disguised under shirts (unlike in my Cleo Maddie, where sometimes I realize there's a bit of a shelf effect!).

    The seams do show through shirts, and though it doesn't have any push-up padding, I feel like it makes my breasts look kinda large. I do love that the center gore is on the short side, yet it is still very comfortable and supportive. No real cleavage, and a bit lower set than other bras.

    I wouldn't say I love this bra, but I think it's overall one of the most comfortable!
