  1. Curvy Kate Princess Balcony Bra (CK6001) This colorway is much prettier than nude. It fits similarly to my strangely large but low cut 40HH - Curvy Kate » Princess Balcony Bra (CK6001) in nude. I think that bra is a fluke. I also think if you have a square or upside down 7 shape in Curvy Kate you should try a cup size up because in my other princess in blueberry in 40hh I get slightly droopy boobs that I don't get in this bra. However the straps are too wide set. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

    The wires are not quite wide enough for me, like goddess is. However, everything else is perfect, I highly recommend giving this bra a try.

    Ok - someone please tell me the lace trim at the top of this bra softens up with washing. Cause if it does, it's going straight to the sink. Right now, I want to claw it off my chest. Since I practically stole it for $14, I reallllly want to make it work. The itchy though, oh the itchiness. This is why unlined bras and I haven't agreed thus far.

    Back to the bra.

    Pros: Nice firm band. 3 hooks - thank you Curvy Kate! So pretty, the "night" color is a stunning cobalt blue that is very flattering on my tan ... olive skin, and I can see how the nude and pale pink colors could be quite sexy. And the soft polka dots and silver trim and details are great little extras. Cups don't close in as much as the Bardot does, so there's no quadding. I feel supported and lifted, with a nice natural shape. The rest of the cup minus the lace trim isn't unbearably itchy, although I wish the whole thing was cotton lined.

    Cons: My smaller boob doesn't quite fill the cup at either the top or the bottom, so there is some wrinkling on both that you'll probably notice in pictures. The lace feels like it's made of pine needles.

    I like it. If I hadn't gotten it so cheap, I wouldn't have ever considered this bra. So really, it's a keeper.

    UPDATE: Never softened up. So itchy. Too wide and shallow.

    • lol @ pine needles! I have it in pink. It gets better after washing but its still on the itchy side. Plus I don't like the wide wires. I just got my first unlined Ewa Michalak sm style bra and its just so much better than old CK and Freya unlined bras.

    • I'm gonna have to wash it cause it was a steal and fits really well overall. I need the wide wires lol. But dang, this lace.

      Ok, I washed it last night. I'll have to stitch in a lining or something. I'll to look for something soft that is the same shade of blue next time I'm out shopping. This lace. I can't, I just can't.

    • Well, I am happy to see that a non-molded cup worked for you! I keep looking at Princess for myself but feel like I'm breaking out in mild hives whenever I'm about to pull the trigger. Maybe I'll give it a whirl.

    The gore is too high on my chest and I could see if I wore it all day it would bother me. There's wrinkling on the top of the cup, as well as the upper sides.
    The band fits okay.

    I was warned that Curvy Kate bras typically don't work for full-on-bottom breasts, but I wanted to try one to see for myself. I was not shocked that there was a lot of excess material at the top of the cup. There's also too much material at the outsides of the cups (under my arms). It's not that the cup goes back too far (I do have wide roots) but that there's just extra material, like the bra was expecting me to have twice the amount of breast tissue on this area of my body. It might be worth trying the 34E (same band, one cup size smaller).

      I wouldn't completely write off Curvy Kate bras. Sometimes fit can be off, especially if you get hold of older styles, and sizing doesn't always correlate to what you'd expect a UK size to be, but there are worthwhile bras for bottom heavy boobs.

      Most recently I faired really well with the black/violet Bardot sheer cup. I had to size up from my usual 30GG to a 30H but it fits so well.

    I think this bra fits, not the best, but really nicely enough. It provides overall great support and firm structure. The top of the cup is also just slightly closed so sometimes when i move or breathe deeply enough, it cuts into breast tissue. Otherwise, it sits well, and i find it rather comfortable to wear.

    One thing I definitely like about this bra is that while the band allows for just enough room to stretch for a nice snug fit, the bra straps are a little more firm and less stretchy. Which I really, really like. I somehow think maybe this is what provides the extra support and hold for the cups in this bra for my full on bottom boobs (that always tend to stretch the straps and wrinkle the cups near the underwire under the boobs).

  8. My first foray into the world of Curvy Kate is the 38G - Curvy Kate » Princess Balcony Bra (CK6001), which was recently on sale everywhere, at least in the teal colourway, so I thought I would give it a try. I researched the measurements for it and it looked like a 38G would actually work for me.

    It's a beautiful bra, a gorgeous colour, and very feminine detailing, especially the pink ribbon that runs across the neckline and through the straps. And I am a complete sucker for polka dots. *grin*

    So, my response to this bra? Just one word: ... OMG! I am *totally* in love with this bra. It fits so well, the depth and width of the cups, the length of the wires, the separation of the cups, the width of the straps, and the height of the gore. I feel completely supported, like my boobs are being cradled by firm, gentle hands. It's snug and I like that. It makes me feel very secure, like I won't have to even spare a single thought during the day, worrying about how I look, because this bra makes me feel like I look great. What more can a woman possibly ask of a bra?

    I would buy this bra again in a New York minute. If I had the money, I'd buy one in every colour. It also makes me very curious about other CK models.

    I am now one very happy woman. *giggle*

      I'm a little envious because the mainstay CK shapes just don't work on me. They're so pretty to look at, they come in such a variety of beautiful colorways and you can regularly find them at great prices. Go YOU!

    • Lynn, I feel your envy. I feel the same way about many of the popular brands here, like the Cleo line, for example. *sigh*

    36G

    Fits

    I *think* I may have finally found my Holy Grail in bras! I recently got fitted at a local boutique (Nordies had me in a DD for YEARS and so I thought discomfort was normal) and found out I was a 36G. I found this beautiful Lilac/Orchid on eBay for 25 dollars from a Store Seller and figured I would try it. I was very skeptical at first due to a lot of bra bloggers saying they were having trouble with fit but I'm so glad I took the chance!

    The fit, is PERFECT (I think, I'm new to this whole proper fitting bra game eek!) I love ... the natural but uplifted shape it gives and you wouldn't know it by looking at it but it is very very supportive. I can wear it all day and not even know it's on, no poking, no strap slippage. I put it on in the morning and never have to tug or pull or readjust anything throughout the day. The color, a gorgeous light purple with contrasting embroidery that goes from light to dark purple and a dark purple ribbon, has a very fairytale look to it. The fabric is really soft but the flocked dots DO tend to pick up any color so I have to be very careful if I choose to where it with a dark color and if anyone knows how to fix this please let me know. Also, strap adjustment, the straps are adjustable. It takes a little patience to do it, but be very careful and you can slowly wiggle up and down without harming your straps https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    Overall, it's a great fitting and gorgeous bra that I would recommend, but I do have one lone tenny tiny problem with it. I feel like the wires on the side could be a smidge taller. Again, I'm new to proper fitting bras so maybe it's just in my head and it really is a perfect fit. I'm going to ask for Fitting Help and see what everyone else says and then I will revise my review.

    I really thought this bra fit until I saw the pics. There's a tiny bit unfilled/wrinkly bit at the top and cuts in a smidge. Drat. It fits like a dream otherwise. The band and straps are comfy. The wires are wide and high enough. And it's beautiful. I may wear it anyway and stitch the top up a cm or so.

    Update: I narrowed the gore and it now fits. Apparently this tips the cups a tiny bit and made the whole thing work better.
