I know many people prefer to wear the Tease Me for "special occasions" but I must confess that it's an everyday bra for me. I just love wearing it. It doesn't work well with thin summer tops because of the lace but everything else is fair game.
As many people have noted, the Tease Me doesn't have the tightest band on the block. Indeed, it's the first 28" bra I own that I have to start on the second hook. The first one feels too lose.
Strap placement is great for my narrow shoulders. I never feel them slipping. They're also fully adjustable and that's always a plus.
Since I also ...have a 30DD and it fits kind of good in the cups, I admit I was a bit worried that the 28F would be too big. While the package was on its way to me, I wondered several times if I'd made the right choice. As it turns out, I did make the right choice. It's the correct size and the cups are filled properly. I know many people find that the cups run small, but I haven't found that to be the case on me.
The only thing is that I don't get as much cleavage as I do with my 30DD. No biggie though.
The other (temporary) downside is that the lace is still too stiff to lie properly against my boobs and is thus visible under thin clothing. A problem that will disappear with wearing and washing.
Otherwise, the Tease Me is a great padded-half cups. It offers goos support, a great rounded shape and manages to do it while looking stunning.

Aesthetics: padded seamed cups, beige fabric base, overlaid with a sheer pattern and vertical black embroidery resembling columns of butterflies. There are also two black satin ribbons on each cup over the seams and black lace along the tops of the cups and along the bottom of the band. There is a beige satin and black lace ribbon bow at the top of the center gore. There is a triangle of satiny fabric topped with another beige satin and black lace ribbon bow extending about 3 inches up the strap, covering where the strap is attached to the cup (facing outward). I like it, but it does peek ...out of strappy/sheer tops.
Fit: I love it. Usually. The cups are shallow and the wires are very tall, suiting my tall boobs very well. I have low-set boobs and always have boob/armpit fat escaping from the cups, so this bra supports and lifts very well. I can definitely see it poking/rubbing someone with short/high-set boobs in the armpits, though. The band is stretchy, so I wish I could order down, but I'll just alter it when it starts to annoy me.
When I'm retaining water, I get the weird smashed boob "shelf" that projected shapes get, where my boobs are pushed up and spill out of the top in the weirdest way. Read more 111 more words
Love this bra, seems to cut in slightly more on the inside than the tempt me does but still very wearable. Downside.. Tissue migration means I've already outgrown the cups. If you have a lot of lower projection, you'll definitely have to size up as the cups are shallow. Works pretty well for me but I get a small amount of buckling at the bottom of the cup.
Just picked up this bra because I noticed that the Curvy Kate Elegance (CK1401) that I have in 28E was starting to be too small. I put this one on and it fits perfectly, just as nicely as the Elegance first did. Definitely happy with this bra!
This bra is absolutely gorgeous! I have it in lavender, and it is about the prettiest colored bra I own. The fabric is thin and fairly soft (not cottony soft, but soft for a lace bra). The lace detailing is very fine, and not very scratchy (unlike the Curvy Kate Princess, which can be a little abrasive to sensitive skin). The lace around the top of the cup and the underwire is incredibly feminine.
I wish this bra fit me, but unfortunately the cup size is too small. I know that the Emily runs a bit large, and I think that is definitely true-- I am a 28FF in ...most bras, and this bra is a 28F. It almost fits, however like many of us, one of my ladies is a bit larger than the other, and in this bra that is too much of an issue. Because the cup size was a bit too small, the gore didn't sit flat against my chest and there was a great deal of quad-boob for that boob, and a very small amount of quad boob for her smaller sister. I expect, however, that in the proper size the gore would rest flat on my sternum.
I like the shape the bra creates, ignoring the quad-boob for a moment-- the style is a bit plunge-y to me, and it creates a bit of cleavage. Not a lot, but just a nice little teardrop mound. Again, in the proper size, I think I would like the natural shape it creates.
The band is reasonable, though I wish it was a little firmer. The Curvy Kate Princess I have is quite a bit firmer than this one--the fabric seems slightly more elastic-y by comparison. I think it's a good fit for a 28, but I tend to prefer slightly more firm 28 bands. It has two hooks--I wish there were three, however it looks like FF and G cups in the 28 band size DO have three hooks. I think this would make the bra a little more secure.
Overall, I like the feel and shape of this bra. I desperately wish it fit. I wore it for a few hours an evening, and because the cups were too small it definitely wasn't something I could just ignore. I have ordered this bra in a 28FF, and look forward to wearing it. Read more 287 more words
After lusting for this bra for ages...I finally got it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
And wow! I love it!!! It's so comfortable, beautiful and *perfect*.. if not the fit.
The cups run very small.. I think the 28F is too small and I'm usually between a 28DD/E. I think I need 28FF, maybe a G.. Just maybe. It actually fits my smaller boob quite well I think, maybe a tad bit too small.
The band is pretty stretchy, but not a big problem for me. I'll probably alter it down to what I need https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
This bra is so small that there is no room for everything to 'stay in'. I know this bra is from the 'Showgirl' range, but this is taking it a bit too far =P!
There is not much depth in the cups which seems to push everything back towards you, creating a sort of minimising effect. It would be good in a better fitting cup size I guess, pushing everything up rather than in all directions quadraboob/nipples showing/armpit fat.
I shall be sending this baby back from the on-line retailer. I absolutely hate bra shopping, so that's why I've ordered on-line.
i'm probably a touch not projected enough for this bra, i get the slightest wrinkling at the wire. the straps are extended to their longest for my low set chest; this is probably suited for someone petite. the straps are quite wide, with the high apex pressing into my armpit. the gore also digs in even though the width isn't bad.
the embroidery on the cups is quite visible under a tight shirt, which is a shame because i like the rounded shape it gives me. it doesn't press the sides in as much as some panache/cleo's do, giving a bit of roundness when viewed front on. the fabric is not very forgiving for slight shape differences.
i think i'll return it as the fit is just off somehow even thought it should be good on paper.
Received this bra second hand, and unfortunately the cups weren't quite my shape. Seems good for top fullness, which I have very little of. Otherwise the projection was good and the bra itself pretty confortable, but not something I'd wear often because the top of the cup sticks out in a t shirt.
Maybe the cutest bra I own. The center gore charm has stayed on even with machine washing (in a mesh bag) so I rated the quality as excellent. Wish the cups were just a bit wider.
this is a lovely bra and my best fit yet. i can happily wear it 8ish hrs before i start to get tired of it, which says a lot considering i've been living in too large bralettes for the past year.
the band is a comfortably snug fit, it takes a bit more effort to get on than i'm used to but it gives the support i need as a 26
the straps are wide which means there are many things i can't wear it with but that's a minor issue
i love the black mesh, and find it super cute and sexy, it's surprisingly opaque on. the cups are ...quite supportive and do and excellent job bringing the girls front and center. being center full they like to sit off to the side when unsupported. they also have enough projection at the gore to accommodate my center fullness
the one issue i find is like always there's a bit of wrinkling in the top lace. i believe i might be short rooted leaving me lacking in the extra oomph needed to fully fill the top. i feel like if i moved the straps in it would tighten the lace just enough. Read more 91 more words
About me: close set, center full, tall, sloping roots, full on bottom (though combined functionally even in some respects), narrow and projected.
Width and depth we're good, but I couldn't fill the top of the rather closed off cup. It requires more overall fullness and shorter roots than I have I think.
Awesome nude bra for everyday wear. Main concern with the appearance is that the seams on the cup show through especially with the smaller breast where there is a little space on the top. As for the fit, the band is still a little too loose on the tightest hook. There is some gaping and wrinkling at the top portion of the cup at the smaller breast. This bra generally fits ok. Cups are ever so slightly big. Especially when my breasts are at its smaller stage (hormones). The gore is a little high, and I can feel it against my ribs, although not painful, it is rather uncomfortable. Quality is alright. The material did start to fray a little after the 1st wash. Would totally get a smaller band and cup size if it was available.
Not a bra for shallow breasts and wide roots. It has very narrow wires, projected cups, and high center gore that digs into the sternum. By the word "narrow wires", they ARE narrow - they are similar to Freya deco 28E but deco is a bit more wider. Maybe this bra runs a cup size smaller but I doubt so because of its deep projected cups. It's maybe not the cup size but its particular cup shape that made it not fit.
The Curvy Kate Smoothie bra is the exact opposite of my shape. I have wide rooted, shallow boobs. I'm not able to fill out the bottom and middle of the bra, and there's some serious quadboob. Aside from that, the band seemed fine, and the straps were a good width apart.
Most comfortable bra I own as far as fabric and feel. However, the top of the cup indents my breasts just the tiniest bit when I have it adjusted properly. The straps are also too far apart - again causing an issue with rubbing my arms/armpits as I move throughout the day. Disappears under t-shirts, though. So, right now, this is my go to bra.
Love it! I got a 28 instead of 30, so I added an extender, but this fits me perfect in the cups, better than my 30f. 28f which of it was a 30 would be an e, is just right for me on this bra because it runs true to size and is open on top. Being fot, I usually have to size up.
I own two of these bras, a 28F and a 30E. Neither one fits properly, and they fit very differently. They obviously are slightly different cuts of the bra. The lace trim along the top of the cup is attached differently, creating a much lower coverage cup on the 30E bra than on the 28F, so my nipples always end up poking up out of the cup. The gore digs in on both of them, and is much higher and more painful on the 28F. Overall, this is a pretty bra, but in both sizes and slightly different cuts I have, it's unwearable.
Moulded cup lightly padded bra. It provides a good support due to it's 'full cup' style, with high center gore and high cup.
I found it difficult to fill the bottom of the cup because it is too shallow. Also, the shape of the cup has it's deepest point in the wrong place for me, and so, even though there is no empty space to the top of the cup, there is a little unfilled space inside. Due to its shape, the bra gives a more projected look, less round (breats very visible when looking on the side, and not visible on the front), a little bit pointy.
