The Great Amazon Prime Wardrobe Try-On, Pt 2!
My shape: FOB, narrow roots/shoulders, soft tissue, 32G (though I'm thinking maybe more 30G since a lot of these 32 bands are too stretchy for me!)
Fit: So this Curvy Kate feels like it is not as wide as other styles I have tried, though the wires are too wide for me. The straps aren't as wide, either, though there is fabric in my armpits, mostly on my smaller side. The fabric is really soft! The band feels true to size, though a bit stretchy for my tastes. As usual, I have slight gaping on the top of the cup on my ... smaller size, though it's not as big of a deal on this bra.
Appearance: I love this black style! The color was black/champagne, though the beigey color is only on the bows at the straps and along the bottom edge of the band. The top of the cup is a stretch lace, the bottom a silky smooth mesh feeling fabric. The straps are the same soft material, as well; I have problems with itchy/stiff straps, but these are perfect.
Overall: I like this style and the feel of this one, it just seems a tad too big. I'm going to see if I can try a different size and go from there. Not sure what is it about this particular style that makes it fit better on me than other Curvy Kates, so keep in mind it runs a bit narrower in the wires.

My favorite Curvy Kate I think!

Tried a bunch of C'Kates when I was a bit smaller / a couple years ago - but despite their cute designs, fit-wise I've somehow never found them to work too well for me in general.

(mostly I'd struggle with inadequate projection, too wide-set straps and / or cups that cut into my upper fullness)

Ellace, however, is a different story.
I reach for this bra quite often and it's held up so well over time! I've had it for about 2+ years (somehow forgot to review it) and after each handwash it feels almost good as new.

I like the added elastic on the ... underband, I like the stretchy lace, and I'm a big fan of this teal colorway!

I'm bordering on 32GG but this 32G contains me pretty well. It seems true that Curvy Kate has started to make firmer bands (read: more true to size) as they used to be quite stretchy and I'd lean towards 30, but this 32 band feels great.

The underband elastic does seem to help in that regard!
