This is for the blue/orange Ella.
I really like the cut of this bra. The bows on the straps are kind of large, but they’re not noticeable under my tank-top undershirts. The band is nice and tight feeling – a total contrast to the Tease Me I picked up at the same time. The cups are nice and deep for this size, but they are really narrow. Maybe I’m just used to Panache’s wide wires at this point, but I constantly feel like I need to pull everything back in on the side a little. I get a tiny wrinkle at the top where the lace meets the fabric ... cup, but my bottom-heavy boobs have come to expect that, especially in soft-cup bras. The underwires come up a little high in the middle (a common complaint for me). Somehow the ends put a lot of pressure on my sternum, but I think gently bending them out a little or putting something soft under them should help. The straps are NOT fully adjustable, but it’s not an issue on this model for me. The profile is a bit pointy, but it shouldn’t be a big deal under a tight undershirt. I think the cup might be a tiny bit small. I would love to try a 28FF for comparison, but the fit of this one is close enough I don’t want to mess with trying to return/exchange it. Overall I really like this bra, and am eager to try other Curvy Kate styles outside of the Showgirl range.
