Purchased this used but in new condition. The original owner tried altering the band and I can see in the material where she sewed it.
So after wearing this bra a few times I can see some straining in the band. I guess I shouldnt be wearing a 28 band in this brand. It's too bad because I think this bra is cute, but the band is too small for me.
This is the first bra in my new size I've tried. The band fits great (for the first time in my life) and the cups don't spill over. They are however too full on top for me and give an awkward pointy shape. The gore does dig in quite a bit. I think slightly narrower cups and a lower gore might be better for me. The wires on these cups are considerably wider than my IMF. The pattern is adorable, and the color is a fun summery turquoise. The straps are very thick and comfortable. Overall, the shape of this bra is wrong for me, but if you're FoT and projected (very projected) it may work for you.
This bra is pretty typical for the Curvy Kate Tease me's. The wires are absolutely too firm for me, and the gore is too tall and wide. It is much too painful to wear, and I didn't feel like altering extremely to make it fit better. It would suit someone whose a bit more narrow with some space between the breasts to accommodate the gore width.
This bra is very pretty but the lace does stick out a bit though thiner shirts and nipples can be an issue if I don't swoop and scoop enough, but the shape is mostly awesome for me. I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. The wires are wide enough and, unlike the other Curvy Kate unlined bras I own, it doesn't gape on the top.
This bra is simply gorgeous and fits me quite well, even though it's thin and nipples can be an issue if I don't swoop and scoop enough. I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. This gapes at the top a bit, more so now that I've owned it for longer (I'm on the middle hook) so I'd recommend it for those a bit more FoT because I don't feel that supported in it.
I am even fullness and average on the shallow/projected scale with wideish roots. The wires go out far enough for me and it fits quite well. However, it does sometimes gape at the top so it would be better for people a little more FoT, but not a deal breaker for me.
Like the 28FF, a complete shape mismatch, as evidenced by the horribly obvious orange-in-a-glass. CK, how I wish we understood one another! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
This is a fuchsia/orange colourway, the older model and fit. I read that the older ones run big in the cups and it is true. I have gaping in the upper cups. I think it can be corrected by shortening the satin ribbon.
I have the newer Thrill me bra in wine/navy (32E, sister size to 28FF) and its cups are a little bit too small for me. And this fuchsia/orange has cups too big in 28F!! I find the older bra fits more than 1 cup size bigger, I´d give it 1,5-2 cup sizes. It is very open + too big in the top. However, I altered ...it. I tightened the thread at the top and it reduced the cup volume about enough.
Other than that the bra fits well. Wires are wide enough, band is good on my 26 underbust, straps fully adjustable, and no poking anywhere. It fits fairly well on my shallow boobs.
ETA. I have realised that the wires are NOT wide enough https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> They cut in at the sides. This happens to me with all CK bras, bummer https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 87 more words
Very pretty bra! It will suite shallow boobs very well. I have the Azure/Plum one I believe, which is one of the older colours and the wires are medium wide, and not too stiff. I decided to flip them in the underwire channels since they looked a bit funny and take in the gore. Now the bra is very comfortable, especially due to the interior of the cups, the band and the straps. It gives me quadboob but you can't really tell because of the frilly stuff, so I wouldn't personally size up but if you really like this bra and have deeper boobs... definitely size up.
I measure 26" under and 33" around and I would go 26F-->28E but I found the cups of the E to be too small so I went up one cup.
I really enjoy the band on this bra. It is not as insanely tight as the my "Desire" bra. It fits like a snug yet appropriate 28 band.
This bra is really cute but mostly for the bedroom or some very thick shirts. The lace is a little tacky and the stitching definitely upsets the smoothness under your shirts.
Some say that these styles are cut very wide and open on top, and I would agree mostly, especially with the Wild ...bra. This one seems to fit me best of the three I've got to far (Wild, Desire, Elegance).
About Me: I have pretty evenly round but semi-bottom heavy, close-set breasts and wide shoulders. Pro: I love the center gore--it's super low, which is hard to find in my size. Also the straps seem pretty far apart. Con: Shallow cups caused creasing on the bottom. But otherwise, the bra is sexy, lovely comfort-wise and shows off your cleavage. Just remember to go up at least one cup size or you will be super quadboobing or even flashing after scooping! Read more 96 more words
I am 26" under and 33" around. Very close together breasts so I need plunges like this bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Would be a 26F but usually happy enough in 30DD or 28s of some sort.
Some people have mentioned the cups being weirdly tall but I didn't notice a difference on this style versus the other plunges.
Fits just like the Wild bra, but a bit sturdier so I wear this one more often. Soft material. Low gore with cute buttons. Nice and tight band. No push-up padding. I think I generally would need a 28E as a sister size, but the cups seem to run small in this style and other Curvy Kates so I like a 28F.
I have the cherry colored Tease Me. Even though the straps have been altered they are still too wide for me. The center gore is always laying on my inner breast tissue. I don't mind that the cups are too wide but the straps and gore bother me so much, I don't wear this bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> It's really pretty
This bra is ever to slightly too big and just slightly to wide-set in the strap placement. The band is super snug and the shape works awesome like the smaller size I have did when I was smaller. I like the black/pink better, but this bra is pretty as well.
This is almost a perfect bra, but the straps are too far apart. The cups are slightly too closed on top, but also a bit too wide. I think if the cups were narrower that would help the strap separation. It's kind of cute even though I'm not into pink. It's not overly girly but it still feels sexy... if only it were slightly off!
This bra does not work under t-shirts because of all the ribbons and lace on it. That being said, it is really nice looking on its own.
I think top-heavy breasts would have a hard time with it because of the ribbon across the top of the cup. When I was smaller, I had no problem with it, but now that I'm up to a G, it makes the quadboob effect even worse.
I have this bra in 28E and love it! I bought this because I found in for less than $20 on amazon! It's great because I've been getting bigger and have begun to spill out of the 28E Desire. Tight band and lovely fabric!
