Not enough support in cups for me, but cute bra. Band became too tight & cups way too small.

Very comfortable with nice rounded shape.

Me: Narrow roots, narrow shoulders, evenly round, lots of immediate projection, very soft tissue, slightly FoB, slightly centre full, splayed, never met a gore I didn't like, left-heavey by more than a cup size, 31" underbust, but prefer tight band with extender. Panache, Freya size 30GG
Of CK's new narrow and projected styles, this is not reallyas advertised. This is some of the worst immediate projection I have seen. It is difficult to evaluate the rest of the fit properly because the whole cup is dragged out of its appropriate shape. I get bad upsidedown seven in my already one cup up size and while it accomodates my centre fullness as is, it is difficult to know if this will stay the same.
Made of super soft no-stretch mesh, lined in bottom part, embroidered all over the cup and frame. Back of band is stretch mesh. Three hooks, no side boning. It has a slightly shorter centre gore than I prefer. Straps are scalloped and fully adjustable. I got the peachy orange colour with pale green accent bows.This bra is not owned any more

The band is VERY stretchy (see measurements). I mostly wear 34's and would need a 30 in this one. Cups were too small aswell. I would need a 30HH, while wearing mostly 34G's.

I got sadboob in this bra, that weird shape you get when you need the next size up in a curvy kate bra. Sadly, I don't think they make a 44G in this, or even a 42GG.
Pros: - Good projection at the wire - not as good as Comexim 3HC, but pretty good nonetheless.
- Narrow cups.
- I like the look of the sheer black fabric with the little dreamcatchers on it.
Cons: - Scratchy fabricThis bra is not owned any more

Allows more apex projection than Florence, but has slightly less center projection. Scratchy outer material lined with soft, fine mesh. Typical .8" Curvy Kate gore width.

My breasts: projected (immediate projection), even, short roots, narrow/average roots, close set, some center fullness
This bra is a darker orange than the CK photo shows. I love it though. The colour is really nice and the green ribbons are just perfect match. I like the little dreamcatchers on the bra although I gotta admit the bra itself is quite simple. But it's the colour I love.
I had this same bra in 36G first (biscotti colourway) and it was too small for me. I don't own that bra anymore. However I did like how it feels so i wanted to try it on bigger size. I tried 36GG first ... but noticed it was too small and gave me an awful shape. So I figured I need one cup size bigger to fix the shape issue. I was kinda wrong.
This bra still gives me a strange shape. My boobs look really sad on this bra. I have heard some people talking about upside down seven, but I don't think this is the shape that means. There is no extra angle on the shape it's just.. pointing down. I don't like the shape but, not sure if it's THAT bad. Meaning I think I could wear the bra with certain clothes, ie. nothing too tight. (then again I never really wear anything really tight, so that's not an issue).
Otherwise the bra feels nice and comfortable. It is just the shape that is causing some headache, so to speak. So far no poking or itching or anything. Will update the review if such things will happen later.

I really didn't like this bra as soon as I pulled it out of the package. The fabric felt scratchy and low quality. I liked the overall look of the bra better on, but the fabric was still scratchy. The center gore not tacking was an easy clue that this wasn't going to work for me, but the other weird thing was where the two different fabrics came together it was baggy. Almost like the fabric wasn't quite lined up right, but maybe it is just because I'm slightly more FOB and couldn't quite fill out the top. I did really like how firm the band was though.

I am still on my journey to find the correct size for myself. I bought this bra together with Freya Fancies Plunge Bra on size 36G.
When I first tried them I thought they were a perfect fit until I learned to "scoop and swoop". After that I noticed that the center does not lie flat against my chest so the cups are a bit too small. However there is no spilling in the cups (or if there is, very minor so I can't really see it. Still learning here!). It feels comfortable to wear though as I have been using the wrong size for years so I don't ... know yet how properly fitting bra looks and feels. Getting there eventually!https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I love how the bra looks and as soon as I know my correct size, I do want to buy this one on proper size, maybe even in couple different colours as well.
edit. after proper scooping and swooping I noticed that while the bra still feels good even though little small in the cup, I get the horrible upside down 7 shape. Ouch.. Does not look pretty! But I would think it goes away with bigegr cup size as I have Flirtelle bra which is CK's sister brand and I have no upside down 7 with that (it's 36GG, so one cup size bigger and it fits and looks good).

Band is nicely snuck, tho im here and there if i should size down band on CK. Might end up using this on tighter hooks quite soon. This bra is very pretty, but sadly it gapes little bit on top since i have quite short roots paired with bottom heavy girls which causes this to fit more like full cup on me. I will probably alter that top to stop it from gaping. Its very comftable to wear. My only problem is that straps are little wide for me, but in general its the second most comftable bra i have. Feels much better to wear good fitting bra after long time wearing too small cup.
