    Quick little Bravissimo order because it was on sale for $19, and matching quick little review because it’s 2am. Wow, is this band tight. The tightness comes not as much from the actual length of the band as the fact that it barely stretches three and a half inches before the wires begin to distort, and the band length is only originally like 21.9in (can’t remember exactly), so this is for sure effectively a 26 band and might even be able to suit a 24. Though I’m a 26 band, I wouldn’t have been able to breathe with this bra fastened without the extender I put on it ... to try it on.

    Other than the ultra tiny band, this is too small in the cup. This bra actually does a great job of illustrating something I didn’t realize for awhile, which is that a too-small cup can make it SEEM like the gore is too wide for your breasts, when in fact the gore just has no room because there’s too much boob there. This makes a lot of sense to me now because I’m so not close-set as to be almost splayed, but I totally didn’t understand this concept at the beginning of my bra journey when most of the bras I was trying on were small in the cup and I just chalked the gore pressing on my tissue up to it being too wide.

    I got the green/white color (Pear something...?) and it’s adorable! I really love the tiny button on the top of the gore and the fact that it itself has polka dots too. The straps measure to just over 0.6 inches in width, but they look wider to me and I think they probably provide a little more support than if they were slimmer. But maybe take that assertion with a grain of salt because I have an actual skin irritation on my shoulder which is partly the fault of my Ewa Michalak M Perłowy, so I have a temporary vendetta against thin straps. This bra may not be the sexiest, but it’s very cutesy and I think it’s really fun. I’ll check if 28G is in stock and then get an exchange as soon as I take pics tomorrow (...today?).

      Also, a too tight band can make the cups fit/feel smaller as the cups sort of become a bit of the band and less space for the actual boobs.

      Calluna very true! From everyone's photos it also looks like this particular bra, below the G-cup cutoff, has a cup design that curves back in towards the body at an unusually closed angle, almost like some of the old Cleos notorious for this short-boob-friendly shape. At G and above the design seems to have been graded a little more generously in this regard but they still use a very very flat (or perhaps simply rigid) upper cup section so anyone whose boob shape cannot conform to that upper cup edge and shape will get really major quadding.
      biflexual you're light-years ahead of most people for figuring out the issue of insufficient cup depth (or space allowed by the cup edge) masquerading as a too-wide gore. So many people spend YEARS without realizing this and thus waste a ton of money and effort due to mistakenly thinking they need overlapped gores or ultra-low-gore bras (super plunge styles with an itsy bitsy gore inherently lack the stability that will ensure a comfier fit if a person is heavy-busted, very projected or very center-full).

    Me: Short, narrow roots, splayed, very projected at wire, average apex projection, even FOT/FOB, extremely center full. Wide on top, omega on bottom? Cleo Lily/Marcie fit me best.

    This was the second of my beige Curvy Kates. When I first tried it on, it was so close to working! The cups seemed to fit but the wires were really uncomfortable. Though it looked okay under clothes, I had uncomfortable quadding at the center, even after letting the straps out all the way (I'm only 5'4", and not low set!). I was ready to return it.

    Then I put it on an extender. ... href="https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" rel="nofollow">https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    The Curvy Kate Daily Dream runs tighter than most Cleos in the band, so consider sizing up. The cups have good projection at the wire. The cups are fairly short and closed on top which should work well for short rooted and FOB people. Tall rooted people might be able to make it work by letting out the straps. It probably won't work for the very FOT. The wings are low, which I like.

    The stiffness of padding and thickness of the upper ridge is between that of Comexim and Cleo Mimi. Though a rounded profile, the bra is a little more East-West than Cleo, or, to put it another way, less torpedo-like. I'm okay with this.

    It's prettier than in the pictures. I'll try to remedy that when I have time and daylight.
