The gore on this bra is too high for me and the cups are too small. I have breast implants and I am also nursing so I knew this bra (being my first) probably wouldn't work. Trial and error... Moving on to another brand. It was suggested to me to buy a plunge bra because my breasts are set very close. I also felt like the straps were too far apart and didn't offer support where it was needed.

The underwires are a tad too wide for me. I also found that the material on the top of the cup will wrinkle, and the bottom will gape, depending on how I adjust my breasts in the cup. I feel that this is to do with the underwires and may try Freya next (their 28FF Taylor is a little small in the cup for me but I wear it instead of this 28G). I feel that the gore hurts my chest some aswell, which is to do with the underwires. All in all it is a lovely bra, didn't get any torpedo boobs with it, but the Curvy Kate brand just doesn't suit me.

This bra is more beautiful in person than I expected, but I found out that the cups are too tall for my body.

The band is quite snug and very comfortable. This is my first three hook band that I've tried, and I really like the support it gives. I like the other CK bra bands I've tried in 2 hooks as well, but the 3 hooks just feel firm around my 27 in ribcage. The bra is in indigo and wine and the colors are just beautiful together. The bow in the center is a little big and looks a little awkward, but not too much.

The top ... of the cup is a sheer mesh with a pretty wine colored embroidered edge. The bottom is opaque satin-y and feels sturdier than the top. The straps are pretty thick compared to the bras that I am used to, but it feels comfortable and supportive. They were located at a good position. The cups came right under my arms to encase the tissue from my armpits.

Now, this bra is a terrible style for me. I seem to have pretty balanced breasts that I thought were full on bottom, but if they're held up, I can see where the tissue goes pretty high on my chest. Yet, the top of my chest is pretty empty. I think I'm actually semi full on top. Either way, I do not have the tissue to fill the top of this bra, or any others with a similar shape or height, so there was a lot of wrinkling at the top of this bra. The shape it gave me is very natural looking without a shirt, but it was quite pointy or torpedo shaped with a shirt on. I got a little bit of quadboob when I put my shoulders back (making it more evident that it's just not the shape for me even if I go a cup size lower). The seem where the mesh meets the opaque material is a little thick and would show under a tight t-shirt.

Overall, this is a very lovely bra, and it feels quite sturdy and seems like it could give some good support, but is not suited for my breasts.

Had a pretty firm band, so that was a major plus. I was hopeful based on that, but shape was a bit off for me and that was made much worse by the straps being way too wide. Just trying it on for five minutes resulted in pain from it cutting into the front of my armpits. If I pulled my shoulders back and stood with perfect posture, it didn't cut in nearly as much, but every time I relaxed, it cut in a painful amount and the distortion changed the shape of the cup and made the top of it no longer fit. It also gave me a bit up a pointy/torpedo look, which was not ideal.

This bra actually fit extremely well. The quadboob, although present on my larger side, was ever so slight. Going up a cup size had me swimming in the cups. I'd say my larger side was only about 1/4 cup-size too large, just enough to be barely noticeable. That said, there was no way I was keeping this bra. It looks very pretty from the front, but the shape it gave me is one I particularly dislike. Sort of a downward-sloping pointiness that was incredibly unflattering, both on its own and underneath a shirt. I know that CK sometimes gives a pointy shape when a bra is too small ... in the cup, but even on my smaller side (which fit wonderfully) the same shape was evident. This just isn't the bra for me, given my personal preferences. The bra was mostly comfortable for the few minutes I wore it, though it did hit uncomfortably against my usual problem spot on one side of my rib cage. If I were keeping it, that might be easily fixed by bending the wires to accommodate the shape of my ribs.
