Comfy. The band does stretch out a bit, but not as quickly as some - and to be fair, I've been wearing this thing daily for quite a while. The straps slip a bit sometimes, but I have narrow shoulders and fiddling with the length helps.

I am a fan of the 30FF - Curvy Kate » Emily (CK5001) bra in general because it provides good support as well as good shape and it fits me well. However, I did learn that I generally have to go up a size in Curvy Kate because I find that I am spilling out of the cups of this bra a bit. In the right size this is a great bra, but be aware that the lace and stitching detail means it cannot be worn under all clothing.

I like this bra - as with most Curvy Kate bras, it fits my shape well, though I do have to go up a size. It provides good support and good shape. However, when I buy nude/beige bras I am usually intending to wear them under lighter coloured tops and I find that this bra doesn't suit that purpose because of the lace and stitch detailing, which can be seen through lighter clothing.

Black with white flowers
See my other Emily reviews too! This one is the best fit of all 3.
30G - Curvy Kate » Emily (CK5001), 30GG - Curvy Kate » Emily (CK5001)
Aesthetically, I wish the flowers weren't a contrasting colour - it makes them really visible under clothing.
Band is nice, comfy and doesn't ride up on me.
The cup is occasionally too small for my larger breast, but fits very well on my smaller. I'd say it's a little more closed on top than Cleo bras like the Cleo Marcie (6831) . Additionally, this colour has more bottom projection ... than my white or purple ones for some reason. Gives a nice, round shape on me. I have both upper and lower fullness and projection.
Straps are wider set than I'd like but it's not horrible. The thickness of the straps are in line with Freya. I prefer Cleo/Masquerade straps because they're thinner. However I can see that others may appreciate the extra width.
The wires are MUCH narrower than the 30GG. Also, the upper section is a lot smaller than the 30GG too. Straps are closer set. It's almost like a completely different bra.

See my other review of the same bra. I bought two for dying purposes, but I'm selling both as they are too small.

I bought this bra because I imidiately fell in love with the lacey design. The shape it gives me is very "CK balcony" typical: a lot of forward projection, without beeing to revealing. The lace at the top is not stretchy and did cut in (I am between fob and fot) from the beginning, but it was not visible under a shirt.

I need to size down a few sizes in this as I usually wear padded bras which fit differently. this is really pretty but im just too small for it. It never fit even when i first got it as it was a gift.

(purchased used with alteration)
Alteration detail: Starting at about 1/2" above top of wire channel on outsides of cups, the fold starts. At the base it is a point. At the top at the strap, about 1/2" is folded in under the strap. This, in essence, takes out about an inch at the top of the cup at the strap.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Quickie initial impression: Holy cow. I think it fits. With the alteration (dart on arm-sides of cups), I get a little quad boob. I think if I take the stitching out it will fit perfectly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Update:
I still haven't taken out the dart. The right cup gives me slight quadboob. I think the wires are too wide for me on this bra now.
Time to move on to different shapes/brands.

The lace on top just barely wrinkles, but otherwise this is a pretty comfortable bra.
