    Fits me perfect, except for the center gore which stabs me. ALL the time. It would be perfect if not for the stupid center gore and the ribbon on top, because it means I can't wear clothes on top of it without having this weird frill on top of my boobs underneath my clothes. I wish CK would come up with bra that have no frills in front.

    I dislike the silly ribbon in front, no point wearing this bra because it'll make all my clothes look lumpy on top of it.

    It seems a little on the small side, and the center gore is trying to dig a hole in my chest and kill me. I think this bra is probably meant for someone with wider set boobs.

    Didn't fit

    The cups of the Entice bra runs very small comparing to the thrill me cups ! It is not exactly the same construction, the Entice is less open at the top. A 28F Trill Me fits me in the cups, but the sister size 30E in the Entice bra, a have a lot quardaboob !
    I think in this bra I need 30FF (so 2 cups sizes bigger than in the Trill me)
    The lining in the cups is very confortable.
    The band is one the strechy side.
    This bra is really beautiful, it is a sort of "gothic" look. I am not a big fan of very feminine or girly bra, but I like this one a lot !

    This bra is all wrong for me. The Cups aren't deep enough so my breast won't settle into them fully and they are way to wide. The straps are also to far apart for me even to wear it, they sit on the outer edges of my shoulders and pintch my armpits.

    Didn't fit

    I really want to love this bra. It's gorgeous, but doesn't fit me at all.

    The band is huge, when I go to fasten it, my instinct is to try to hook it about an inch past the smallest hook. I get a really east/west look in this bra, the apex of the cup is about an inch and a half away from my breast's apex, so my whole nipple is visible in the upper sheer section of the bra. The top of the cup doesn't come up over all my breast and is really tight, and digs in in the center of my breast, but because the straps are so far apart I get gaping at the edge if I move my shoulders forward at all. The underwire is a little wide, but not so wide to be an issue if the straps were further forward.

    The fit was waaay off on this one. I'm sending it back and trying it in a 30J. Not sure it'll fit regardless, though- the cups are really wide-set, so they were pushing my boobs under my arms. I also tend not to do well with moulded cups; they just don't conform to the shape of my breasts very well. It certainly didn't help that they were too big up top- I could've fit an extra 2 cup sizes in them!

    The band was also TINY- usually a 28 fits me just right, but I could barely fasten this one on the last set of hooks. It is very sturdy fabric, too, so it would take a long time to stretch to fit. :/

    We'll see if the 30J fits better! It would be a great everyday bra with a nice rounded shape if it worked on me, so I'm crossing my fingers.

    When I was fitted, this bra made me look fantastic! And after a short period, my neck felt so much better. I had recently gained a lot of breast after gaining weight from quitting smoking, and this was the first thing that was not prescription that helped. After wearing to work for 9 hours, and not used to EVER wearing the proper size, my underwire hurt the next day. I think it was probably due to bras not sitting there, ever. I had no rash or bruising or anything, so I guess I just need to get used to proper fitting. The gore lays flat and the support ... is awesome.

    My ribcage measures at just around 32 but the fitter put me in a 30 (which I hear is common with Curvy Kate) and I got an extender for a better fit.

    My only issue is the lace bit. My nipples got so itchy after so many hours of wear, probably another thing I am not used to (every other bra I had was moulded cups), so I might want to get nipple covers. And not being used to soft cups... oh my! it is something to get used to!

    But OH MY! IS is ever freaking adorable!

    • On me Princess is the Curvy Kate bra that is itchy, I've never had the same problem with other bras from them, so you might have more luck with other styles. Look at the same-cut bras and you might find a new favourite bra too. :)

    I don't think I would buy this bra based on looks alone, except in this case I wanted to try several different styles and sizes of Curvy Kate. It was just one cup size too small, but that seemed to make a big difference. The underwires seemed too narrow and didn't go far enough into my armpits. There was some definite quad-boob happening.

    I'm not really a fan of this style, with the large expanses of sheer mesh. When your cup size gets bigger, so does this panel along the top, and I just don't like it. I prefer more all over lace or embroidery. Also, I thought the black and pink was a little too plain for me.

    Since it was too small, I can't say how comfortable it would be in the long-term. I don't like how the bra looks, so I wouldn't buy it unless it was super cheap.

  12. Angel Balcony Bra (CK1201)

    It's really lovely, and once I put a shirt on I look great, but no shirt it gives an odd, pointed shape. I've heard sizing up the cup will correct that, and if you're at the small end of the band, try a band size smaller as well. I've heard people say it was firm, but even post-Thanksgiving over-indulgence I fastened it on the tightest hook with no difficulty. If I were to buy again I would try a 34J or 34JJ, even tho it does fit well enough, it's not a perfect "I want a dozen of this bra" holy grail in my usual size.

  13. Angel Balcony Bra (CK1201)

    I ordered 4 CK bras, my first ones, in different sizes, from zulily. This one was so gorgeous that I wanted it to fit, and it did! This is my first time successfully wearing a balconette. I usually get the quad-boob effect and thought that meant I couldn't wear that style, not that it was the wrong size.

    The center gore sits so nicely on my ribcage. The width seems nicely suited to my boobs. This cup size fits my bigger boob fine, but the smaller one has a little wrinkling. The band sits nice and straight all the way around.

    It gives decent shape. Nice lift and support, but not as round as I'd like.

    Unfortunately I don't really have a chance to see how it feels over time. I'm currently nursing my 3rd baby and wear nursing bras.

    Beautiful bra, but the cup is too short for my breasts, since my areolas peek out over the top of the cup. The wires are too separate for my boobs, and the wires poke my sternum.

    Cute print, but a horrendous bra! Band is HUGE, under-wire comes up way too high which pokes horribly in the sternum making the whole bra stick out from my chest and look awkward :'( Scared to try more of this brand

    Purchased from Figleaves November 2012 for 44 USD, selling on bareneccesities in the US for $68!

    This is my first bra in a 28E, and the support feels amazing.

    It is comfortable for the most part, and the band fits very snugly without being too tight. The cups created a rounded look and look great apart from the frill at the top being visible under tight t shirts.

    The only complaints I have are that the gore digs in, but this happens to me with a lot of balcony bras so may not be an issue for others, and the cups are quite wide, the underwires leave a gap after my boob under my armpit, although they do not poke and are not uncomfortable, it doesn't feel as supportive as I'd like.

    Disclaimer: I have a 28 1/2" rib cage and wear 28 bands instead of sizing up to 30F.

    I got this bra as part of a great Curvy Kate haul at brastop.com recently. Sadly it seems that tis one is getting discontinued, but I would snap it up if you can find it in your size.

    Pros: beautiful bra with light padding for modesty, nice push-up effect, beautiful color/detail

    Cons: straps were slightly too far apart for my taste despite going for my smaller band size (took a while to adjust them well enough that they weren't slipping/too tight), detailing toward the bottom of cups creates show through if you intend on using this bra under clingy tops

    As far as comfort, I wore this bra for a few full days and aside from the slight strap issue I was having, it was very comfortable while giving the boost my un-lined/un-padded Curvy Kate bras don't quite have.

    28FF

    Didn't fit

    Disclaimer: I have a 28 1/3"-28 1/2" rib cage so I opted for 28 bands instead of going up to a 30F.

    I have only worn this bra twice so far, but it seems like a keeper. The second wear was during a 9 hour work shift with lots of upper body movement, and it held up amazingly. The band felt a bit tight at first but seemed stretchy so I ditched my back extender for the day (if the band were maybe 1/4 inch longer it would be perfect) and wore on the loosest hook. The straps stayed in place despite lots of lifting of the arms/shoulder movement and the cups stayed in place. Great support for a pretty, un-moulded bra that didn't show through my button down top. I can see this one becoming a favorite.

  19. Emily Balcony Bra (CK5001)

    very nice bra. It is a little different from the 28HH, i guess they are from a different batch? The hooks and eyes are the same colour as the material in the 28H, and white in the HH... also the lining is more silky in the H.

    As for the fit, the wires and the straps are a teeny bit wide - after removing i can see the wire mark about 2 inches away from where my breast tissues ends, but it is very comfortable and i don't feel a burning desire to rip it off after a couple of hours.

    I think that CK is not the right brand for me, as they have a number of not-quite-there on the fit (everything seems to be much wider than i need, gore, strap separation, wires )

    Perfect in fit (sometimes Curvy Kate are small in the cups for me).
    A bit too fussy in design.
