This bra is comfortable even though the gore doesn't tack on me. I probably should size up a cup but I bought this bra on clearance.

The cups have no stretch. The cups don't create a quad boob because they don't have any stretch in the area, they just aren't big enough to cover my boobs. The part of the cup that goes into the armpit is nice, not irritating and doesn't have any unnecessary frills. Its too small in the cups so my boobs touch over the gore. The edge on band digs in, plastic pieces in strap are uncomfortable and unnecessary. I might try this in a bigger size since this bra was recommended by bratabase. There is extra space at the bottom of the cup.

I wish I had gone with the sister size of this in a 42F. I'm not actually sure if the cups were too small or I'm just too projected for this bra, but my main issue is that the band is just soooo uncomfortably tight. After a few hours I'm ready to cut it off. The wires slip down from my IMF and the bottom is slightly wrinkled and empty, meanwhile, the top is giving me slight quadriboob. I ordered a 40G in this bra as well and I'm hoping that the size up in the cups will take some pressure off the band.
Edit: so a couple ... of weeks later, this bra has broken in somewhat and it's not physically painful to wear any more! I still think the cups are too small. But the band has stretched out somewhat and isn't cutting in any more. I'm not sure if the wires are wide enough actually. They might be pressing on tissue on the sides, but it's hard to tell. The wires are still slipping down. I tried wearing it with an extender, and it was a hot mess. Which solidifies for me that I am a solid 40 in the band.

Cup width is average but didn't work for my wide roots. My nipples are visible through the fabric but it’s not a problem under substantial fabric.

The wire of the sides of the bra dig into my breasts under my arms. The gore felt annoying (too tight?) in little time although it was sitting flat. The material is hard mesh thus a little scratchy. So this bra is not comfortable. Cups are a little loose on the top with some wrinkles but the bra looked ok. I used a back extender because the band was too tight at 33" stretched. How can they call that a 40" band at 31" unstretched?! It comes in many pretty colours.

This bra feels... weird. The band is quite tight for a 30, compared with the Ellace. I have significant quadding because the cup is obviously too small, but at the same time there is a lot of wrinkling. I think this may have to do with the fabric and/or construction. The wire seems too short for the wire channel, there is about 3cm of wire channel on each side that does not have wire inside of it. If I leave the extra fabric on the gore side of the cups (i.e. the wire reaches all the way up in the channel on the armpit side), the gore tacks only up to where the wire reaches, then the rest just floats. If I move it to the other side, I get weird armpit fat shapes.

Unfortunately now too small for me after I've gone up a cup size to 28GG/30G - but it used to fit like a dream. One of my favourite styles from Curvy Kate - I like to call it my 'I'm not wearing a bra'-bra because it's one of the few bras I can keep on all day without getting irritated by it.

I put this on and my first thought was, "What? Noooooo." I've had dozens of bras on in the last few weeks, and this was the first one I thought looked genuinely ugly on me. It somehow both smashed in my (admittedly soft) breast tissue causing discomfort, but also had wrinkling on the top diagonal panel. Neither of my nipples were either where I thought they should sit in the bra or near the same location. Most bras I've tried on twice to see if it need a second impression, but this one really truly did not. It was an immediate return.

More suited to people with wider shoulders and more full on top breasts, the sheer cups look nice but irritate my very sensitive skin

When I first put this on and scoop and swoop, it looks like it fits, with some minor wrinkling at the top of the cup. However, when I start moving around, it doesn't fit anymore. The straps are very wide set and my tail of spence ends up inside the cup when I first put it on but when I move, the metal hardware ends up getting pushed forward so the tail of spence is now outside the bra. This pushes the cup forward and the top of the cup wrinkles even more.
I can fill the bottom of the cup but the wires are slightly too wide. The wires are the right length for me, low enough at the front and they don't come up too high in the armpit. The band is firm and I could do with it being ever so slightly bigger/stretchier. I do like the thick band with 3 hook fastening though.
After this bra not fitting well, I have it in a 32E and that fits much better.Grey colorway

Interesting! Although I am a very different size from you (30D), I think by reading your review I also realised that the bra just doesn't stretch enough to cover my boob, and although my breast tissue is escaping form the sides, I didn't see any quadding.
