This is the narrowest bra I've tried, it didn't fit me. I think it would fit someone narrow and projected.

The lilac-lavender color is my favorite ever, bright and feminine in contrast with the cornflower-blue embroidery and delicate eyelet lace. The sheer, lacy upper portion of the cup is pretty and doesn't cut in at all to upper fullness, while the band is pleasantly firm and supportive; I also appreciate that it's a three-hook closure, which I think is more slimming and flattering in the way it sits on the back. The straps have just a hint of lavender sheen to them, which is a pretty detail and makes the bra look more expensive than it is. The shape it gives is a natural teardrop, however the wires ... are too wide for my shape and I've never worn it... still has tags attached! As I have lots of bras at the moment I'll be passing this one on... I think it would be a beautiful and versatile unlined bra for someone who'd get more use out of it than me! It's not a cleavage bra by any means, but it does an excellent job at separating and uplifting, and the balconnette cut feels secure and comfortable.

Gore was poking after a few hours. The band was kind of tight, but didn't bother me; I actually may need to try this bra in size 30D.
Although I'm not a huge fan of Curvy Kate, I went on a limb and bought this bra.

I've had this bra for quite a long time, so the band has probably stretched out, but it still fits snug on the tightest hooks. The top of the cup wrinkles, but I don't think that the cup size is too small, so it would likely fit best if I had a bit more upper fullness. The shape it gives is quite natural, which isn't my favourite.

This bra is simply gorgeous and fits me quite well, even though it's thin and nipples can be an issue if I don't swoop and scoop enough. I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. This gapes at the top a bit, more so now that I've owned it for longer (I'm on the middle hook) so I'd recommend it for those a bit more FoT because I don't feel that supported in it.

I'm amazed at how comfortable this bra is. I generally have a hard time with soft cup and unlined bras because the wires can be a bit stiff compared to a moulded cup bra. However, this bra has pretty forgiving wires that wrap comfortably around my boobs without grinding against my ribs anywhere. The wires are less than a cm too wide at the top, which is a pass for me in terms of wire width. The shape it gives is rounded but relaxed. The profile it gives me is not very projected which leads me to think that the comfort of this bra lies in the fact that it's simply cupping my boobs and harnessing them without trying to gather or force it into a terribly unnatural or unusual shape. So far I've only worn it for a couple of hours, but the gore height is rather borderline tolerable like my 28H - Freya » Tara (4601). Any higher or wider and this bra's cup comfort would be completely negated by the gore discomfort.

This is a really cute bra, but I can't quite tell if it fits me in the inner gore area. Not enough projection, maybe? It doesn't SEEM to quad, but I feel like something is off.

I have really close-set boobs, so the gore is annoying. Should have seen that coming, but this was my first online bra in my real size, and I was in denial about losing out on 90% of the bras out there (even most plunges are too high).
I'm just not into this style (soft cup), I've decided. I feel naked, unsupported and vulnerable wearing them.
The bra is kind of an odd style and color, dark brown with lime green flowers and bows. The detail is nice, though. Sturdy and reliable like all my Curvy Kate bras. Strong straps and band.
Fits my larger breast great (9" boob and just under 9" cup depth) but the smaller boob leaves a bit of wrinkling at the top, of course. Bra seems true to size, but I prefer more solid support in the cups, so this one sits in my drawer doing nothing.
I don't notice any issues aside from the gore. My shape is round, close-set, pretty even fullness but not much on top, and not squishy.Updated on Feb 26, 2015 Flag this

Couldn't fill the bottom of the cups properly, probably better for FOB or even breasted and I found the gore a bit high.
Lovely bra for the right person.Blue colorway

Pros: tight band, cups fit, looks nice.
Cons: cheap quality that one expects of Curvy Kate, underwire digs into sternum a littleThis bra is not owned any more
