Size 30h is too tight for my 72cm underbust - I'm wearing it with the extender. Because it's too tight, the wires are a little bit stretched and bra is very high on the sides - it cuts into my armits. It's not uncomfortable but next time I will try 32g. Bra gives beautiful natural rounded shape, so diffrent then Freya (it's my second try with CK).
This size was bought to compare with the 30F. The tops of the cups on this bra fit me better than the 30F. The downside is that the straps are too far apart, and perhaps the cups are too wide as well since the side edge of the cup (where the cup and the strap meet) was cutting into my arm.
I ordered the wrong size - dropped a band size as recommended for Curvy Kate bras, but forgot to go up the necessary cup size at the same time. I can't say much as for comfort, because a half cup bra that's too small is MISERABLE. However, looks-wise, it is gorgeous... A total knockout. It gives amazing lift and cleavage (we're talking barmaid status here) and is covered in the nicest satin. Seaming gives great shape, and the trim is adorable. The cup is very narrow (although that might be partially because it is a 30 instead of the 32 I'm used to. Underwire doesn't go up high enough on the side for me, and I found that it poked in the middle - this may simply be because of bad fit, though. I also have an unfortunate mole between my breasts that tall gores poke, making it extra uncomfortable.
I had high hopes for the Curvy Kate bras... they are SO attractive. However, the Emily did not fill these hopes for me. I'll keep looking, but this one isn't working for me.
The band is fine and comfortable, and the cups seem to fit OK, even though they're a tad loose at the top. The issue is that the cups seem to spread my breasts wide, and I can't line my nipples up on the seams. It's as though the bra wants to sit too low on my body, with the wires not right under and encasing the breasts... the wires sit a tad lower than the breasts on my ribs.
The fabric also feels very bouncy (I had to run downstairs to get the camera). Moreso than other bras that I have.
It may be that for me, like Panache, this brand doesn't quite work, even though their bras are really lovely and many women love them... but I haven't given up yet!
This bra does not work for me because there isn't enough room in the bottom of the cups for my bottom heavy boobs. So I end up getting quadraboob. I really wanted this one to fit me because I love the button detail and the circle patterned mesh overlay. I think this bra has the potential to be a great bra, but I would need more room in the bottom of the cups. As this is the largest cup size for this band size, this one's not a keeper for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
I should have bought this a cup size bigger (one of my ladies is probably more like a GG now). The straps are quite far apart in the front, but closer together in the back, so they don't slip off my shoulders. At first, the edging on the straps felt a bit stiff, but the bra was actually very comfortable to wear all day. The band fits true to size. The bra gave me good uplift, though I would've preferred a more rounded shape (the shape might have been better if I'd gone a cup size up).
I so wanted to make this bra work. So pretty... so painful. Basically same issues as the Flirtelle bra. Should have returned. Painful, physically painful mistake.
Very pretty bra but the cups are to shallow for me. Beacause my breast won't sit fully in the cup the cups sit lower than they should giving me a oval shape instead of round. The band is also very strechy.
This bra actually fit ok for the most part. My main problems were the underwire was too high and wide on the sides, and there was some wrinkling at the top of the cup.
The underwire isn't too uncomfortable which is nice. However, there is a lot of loose fabric at the top of the cup. There's also a bit of space between the underwire and the bottom of my boobs. The underwire is a bit wide on the sides and comes up pretty high on my frame. Will be sending this one back unfortunately.
I really wanted this bra to fit since it is so pretty! But it did not fit in any way. The wires stuck in at the center gore and the underarm and were really painful. I did not fill out the bottom of the cup and there way gaping at the top of the cup. The wires were also too wide. This just must be a funky shape for me.
Unfortunately, this didn't fit me (at least a cup size too small), but I still have some things to say about it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
-My biggest problem (besides the fit) was that the cups were WAY too far apart, with very wide wires. The bra was made as if my boobs were placed at the front corners of my ribcage, halfway under my armpit. Disappointing for a 28 band.
-The center gore was VERY comfortable! I usually feel every center gore because my boobs are the closest apart I have ever seen, but this one was so comfy I hardly felt it.
-This bra runs a ...bit large in the band and VERY small in the cup. I needed to order 2 cup sizes up/one band size down from my normal 30F.
If this bra fit me, I would love it and keep it, despite the weird cup separation. It's very cute and somehow still does good things for my shape. Unfortunately I can't order the right size because they ran out of it on Brastop https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> but hopefully I will find another one soon.

This bra gives the most perfect cleavage compared to my old bras. It lifts and separates instead of just smooshing them together. That being said, it tends to poke me in the armpit a bit and the band is a bit too stretchy. Also, even though the cups are the correct size, they gape really easy when slouching which is annoying.
Although this bra is a bit too small in the cups for me, bit of quad-boobage, I still really like it. It gives a great cleavage so I don't really mind. It's quite comfortable and I can wear it all day long. The only downside is that the lace at the top of the cups is quite thick and is visible underneath a tight top.
I got these two bras second hand, it was an excellent deal so I figured why not. As I was afraid they are too small, I think that in these I could use a 28/H that would fit me in the cup however the band is really loose. They do give my breasts a nice in your face look which may be good under a top but not for around the house. The cups are lightly padded and it's definitely a pretty bra, though I doubt I will order it in the proper size as it mostly reminds me of a bedroom bra.
Low underwires that don't poke at center or under arm, but the material comes up so high on my chest that there's quadraboob, but not because of cup size, but because I'm full on top, so I think that this is a shape incompatibility for me, instead of a size issue.
This bra does the Marie Antoinette cleavage like the others in the Showgirl collection, and is very pretty in the black/pink combination. The black lace along the bottom edge never softened up for me, so I eventually had to put a few stitches to keep the band from curling under at the front bottom-most curve of the cup, and comfort has improved dramatically since. The straps are very stretchy, so overall a bit bouncy when you move. It doesn't bother me, but not the best if you want the other end of the spectrum where you're more secure and not-moving.
Really pretty bra in the Jade/Grape combination. Pushes everything way up in a Marie Antoinette cleavage sort of way, but also has very shallow cups to go with it, leading to a slight quadraboob along the edge for me. Stretchy band, so I went down a band size and up yet another cup size, and still a bit small in the cup at this point. I like the details, and under most shirts, they are not noticeable so I an wear it more often then just a special occasion.
