I think it is tts. I usually wear 34h/36gg and this fits well in the cups. It is quite open on the top, so more suitable for fot boobs. The band is soft, stretch. If you are between size, it would be better to opt a smaller size.

The color is darker than the official pictures a little bit, still pretty though.

This gives a rounded shape like cleo bras do. But the gore and wires are shorter than cleo's. If you are short rooted and want such a rounded profile, this is just for you lol.

Love the happy and vibrant lavender tone of this bra with the aqua embroidery and teardrop rhinestone charm, which dangles back and forth with movement. The details are very princess-y and feminine... it's a set that lifts your spirits on a dreary day. Along with CK Bardot and Tease Me, this was the very first full-bust bra I ordered in my correct size, so I have a particular affinity for this bra and its aesthetic. I've realized that the wires are still a bit too wide for me (which causes mild discomfort throughout the day), but in comparison to some of the older CK models like Emily it is comparably much narrower and more projected. The shape is quite natural, not terrible but not exceptional. There's a tiny bit of wrinkling at the seam on my smaller breast, but it's not visible beneath clothes and I think a size down would be too small. Like most balconette bras it separates and lifts the breasts rather than displaying cleavage.

I would purchase this in a smaller band and larger cup size if I bought again (I'm usually 36GG), as even though the centre of the bra sticks to my sternum much better than most bras I've worn, the cups are too small for my breasts. But at 15 pounds, versus much more locally in Canada!
The bra also pushes my breasts quite forward - the lower material forming the sling is quite strong!! It makes them look a lot perkier than they actually are!

There is a bit of a line where the lower part of the cup ends and the upper lace starts, where the flesh bulges ... a bit, but this isn't noticeable under thicker clothing (but has been noticeable under a tank top AND thin sweater).

I haven't worn this more than half a dozen times, but I have noticed that the embroidery is looking a touch worn on the top of the cup. This is despite hand washing! And now after some more wear, there are some threads coming out at the bottom of the outside of the cup, like the threads from construction were not all captured in the cradle seam allowance.

the band and straps seem to run small. I need to find this in a 30E, it looked great otherwise.

I went back and tried wearing this multiple times, hoping that maybe this time it would fit. Nope. The cups are too wide, as are the straps, and while the bottom of the cups were great for my projection, the top of the cups were just sad. I'm shallow and mostly even, so I'm not sure if this is because I should've downsized or what. Now, if I tighten it on the tightest hook and shorten the straps a ton and don't breathe, it looks great. It is absolutely gorgeous, and I like the fabric, but it's not for me (in my size, anyway)

The underwires poke my sternum a bit at the center gore, although it lays perfectly flat against my sternum. I think even or full-on-top breasts would fill this bra out beautifully. I also don't think it has quite enough projection for my breasts as my boobs were squashed at the apices of the cups, but my full-on-bottom breasts wouldn't sit far enough down in the cups to prevent a fine crease along each underwire. I am not full enough on top to fill out the top of the cups, and instead my breasts squished between my torso and managed to quad-boob in the bra as well as wrinkling in the top. One of my biggest problems is how far apart the straps are set. It's a beautiful bra, but seems to be the wrong shape for me.

Hasn't set fit

I am definitely bigger than a 30J in unpadded Curvy Kate bras now. I find this bra to be very beautiful but it seems to be one size too small for me. As I got it very cheap I am thinking of keeping it but I know it being a bit too small would mean me not wearing it as much. I think it makes my boobs look fairly rounded especially for a Curvy Kate bra. The purple colour of the bra seems very unique.

This bra has a three-part cup that is actually cut to accommodate shallowness! I have a few fit issues with this bra: the straps do not adjust long enough for me; and the wings are too low/short. But with regards to cup width and depth, this bra is excellent. The bra gives a lovely shape, and while the color is not for me, I certainly hope Curvy Kate continues this model/cut.

Cute bra, however, I could do with out the jewel in the middle. I think it would make too much noise for my liking. I'm not a big fan of frilly things. Really pretty color (deep red), soft material. The bra has great projection. However, it would fit someone with more FoT-ness. I couldn't quite fill out the lace on the top.

- I have the jewel bra in a blue purple pattern Love the jewel in the center PLUS I have the matching panty. yay! I am full on top with projection. Tried the 34F, but was worried that cups were just a tad too tight. Went with a 32G, and the amount of fabric under the armpit was not great. Do you find that curvy kate usually fits you well with projection?
- This was the first Curvy Kate I tried. I was pleasantly surprised with the projection in the small cup :) Hoping to try more with better results! It's so hard to find projection in small cups :(

Cup is actually narrowish and UU shaped, and the depth seems like it's in the right place. This is one of CK's newer models so it could be that they've improved some things which was my hope. However since the cup is narrower than I expected, I may have ordered a cup size too large. I'll give it a try in a 34K and update accordingly. It's a beautiful bra and I love how it's really different in aesthetics than any other bra I've tried so far. I definitely do think it's a huge improvement over CK's old models.

Addendum - After trying the 34K which was much lower ... cut and too small, I have to say I can't personally recommend this bra. I think that anyone without extremely soft tissue who likes cuts like the Floris could give it a try, but there's also this weird part where the top part of the bra kind of bulges out - it's sewn that way. You can see it in the pic I put up where it's looking up under the bra. I think it's a different material than the more supportive bottom is why.

This bra has a good shape but it was too unsupportive and loose for me in 36K and it has a short top if that makes any sense, so it threatens to spill. Oddly enough, if I put on both bras I get a shape that looks exactly like EM's SM bras, while it was closer to the Jasmine with just the 36K. I think the underwire poked me a tad bit as well. I'll have to personally give up on this bra but if you like it, I think it's worth a try. But to be honest, even the model has some wrinkling and the bulge if you look closely so it may just not be a well designed bra.

- ack, looks like my Marcie in-cup quad
- The 34K was so much worse. I think this bra is just a bit of a messed up design. It DOES have a really big top section like the Marcie but it's completely the other way in terms of shape. It's just weird =/ It's the only new CK bra I totally can't recommend.
- Oh I wanna add that I wasn't quad boobing in the 36K so much as spilling out in the middle, so it was actually kind of wrinkly and spilling...Just a bad shape.
