I am very fond of CK and the way that they fit me in general, however all of their unpadded bras, this one included, have cups that are set too far apart. In addition to this, the underwires come up very high underneath my arms, which leads to a lot of poking. I was able to fix both problems with small modifications (bending the underwires to better suit the curve of my ribs and stitching the centre gore together, basically eliminating it). The only problem with the latter is that it causes the underwires to overlap slightly, as they were already quite close together at the top, which in turn means that the centre gore is not perfectly flush against my chest on both sides at the same time. The straps are the tiniest bit too long for me because of the embroidery, but it does not cause any problems as the band fits well and has stretched very little since I first got it.

I have always loved CK Princess even though it's close to a shape mismatch. As I size up, I find more challenges with the fit. In the 30 HH, I've found the band is tighter than in smaller sizes which may be causing a bit of wire distortion. Either that, or the wires are just a bit too wide - much wider than Panache. As I'm FoB, I tend to get a LOT of gapping in the top of the cup until I'm about to size out. It has a pretty lace edge but it doesn't always lay flat so it can be visible under clothes. I've heard this one can be tough to get the perfect fit and I agree.

First off-I really needed a 28HH in this bra, but the 30HH was only $10 on eBay and. I couldn't resist trying it! The band is a little big even on a bloated/swelled day, but it isn't as bad as my old 32 bands, so it's wearable. The cups were a tiny, tiny bit big on top, maybe a half inch or less, which I fixed by folding it slightly in at the gore and tack-stitching them down. I think it would have been perfect in a 28HH, as the cups would have been that little bit smaller.

I love the look of this one-mine is beige/nude, ... and is lovely on my very pale (I'm predominately Irish in heritage) skin. The lace is gorgeous to look at-my only complaint is that it is a little stiff and scratchy, but hopefully this will soften in time.

The wires on this one seem, thankfully, a little less wide than the typical CK on me, and definitely tons narrower than my Panache bras, which are a bit too wide. They do, however, poke a bit in the armpit and the fabric comes up to high, but I am used to that. Again, the 28 band with the same cup might fix that problem a little bit. The straps are always a little too wide set for me, too, so that probably wouldn't have changed.

I have very small shoulders and a short waist, so this bra, once again, isn't quite a balcony style on me, and the straps don't adjust quite short enough because of the embroidery, but they seem to be staying on alright so far.

Overall, relatively comfortable, I wish I could try a 28HH to see the difference, but with my very small income, I have to take what I can get! Beautiful quality and a much better fit that the 32DDDs I wore for years.

I Just got this bra in the mail. It's the little sister version of the larger one I have! Still cute and even better, it has the perfect fit. The material is transparent with cute white polkadots over the cup material. The band is not very stretchy and is a little bit snug. Great look and support. Downside is the material tends to pick up a bit more dirt since it is white.

The band feels tight in back, but the gore doesn't lay flat against my sternum. The top of the cup lies flush, but I don't fill the bottom center, the wires are a bit wide, but not overly so. The front rubs in the armpit when I move around.

Don't know about how the quality is long-term since I'm returning it to the store

Band is too tight for me, and the cups are slightly too large. Other than that, great condition.
