Runs a little small in the cups. Also, too small on me since I migrated. I recommend bending the center gore wires outward a little bit since they tend to dig in a bit.

Firstly, I do not like the look of this bra. I can't quite put my finger on why but I just don't. It is however, quite comfortable. The band is slightly tighter than the Thrill me and Tempt me, which is good, but the cups are still a bit small.

It's fairly comfortable, too wide in the cup for me, I have space under my armpits and boob spilling into the middle. For someone with wider set breasts I think this would be a very good everyday bra!

I always heard that the showgirl bras run small in the cup, but I find that to be more true of the Tease Me (haven't tried the Thrill Me) than of the Fleurty, which seems to run more true to size. Someone suggested that that could be because of the higher cups in the Fleurty, so I measured the Fleurty against the Tease me in 28G and 28F. For the 28G, I came up with 5 3/8" (Tease Me) vs. 5 6/8" (Fleurty). For the 28F, I got 4 5/8" (Tease Me) vs 4 7/8" (Fleurty). The Fleurty certainly seems to be consistently higher in the cups, though ... that alone doesn't necessarily prove or disprove anything. Either way, I find that I need a larger cup size in the Tease Me than in the Fleurty, so I wouldn't recommend sizing up for this bra like you would for the other showgirl bras. Of the two bras, I vastly prefer the Fleurty. It gives a lovely rounded shape (I notice that the lace/ribbon on the top of the Tease Me can give the impression of a flattened band across an otherwise round silhouette) with beautiful half moon cleavage, though I would prefer a tiny bit more lace overhang at the top to smooth the transition from bra to skin (the Tease Me does this pretty well). Also, I find that the Fleurty makes a better (though not great) t-shirt bra than does the Tease Me, thanks to the relatively finer detailing on the lace and its fuller coverage over the surface of the bra as opposed the more noticeable lace/ribbon band on the Tease Me.

This particular size is too small for me by a couple sizes, but I don't find the bra to be uncomfortable. Take that with a grain of salt, if you will, since, as sensitive as my skin may be in other ways, I seem to be relatively insensitive to bra discomfort.

The band on the Fleurty is very stretchy (I would probably be happier in a 26 band here, if they made one) and might be more comfortable for people who are new to their correct band sizes and find them to be more unpleasantly constricting than they're used to. There are a lot of complaints about the gore on the showgirl bras, the Fleurty included, but I only found it mildly uncomfortable at first and ended up getting used to it fairly quickly. Now it doesn't bother me at all. That said, I found it more noticeable on the smaller cup sizes, since the gore doesn't come up as high in those. The higher cup sizes, like my correctly sized 28G Fleurty, come up high enough in the gore to miss the more sensitive spot on my sternum that was being hit by the lower gore on the smaller cup sizes. Your mileage may vary, depending on your body proportions, relative sensitivity, etc.

Well... according to the fit questions... This bra does fit
EXCEPT!! Where the horizontal seam is, the bra is empty right there. Very strange and very pointy, like a nipple. There is a teeny tiny bit of wrinkling on the bottom of my larger side, but at this point I'm not sure if it is like that because its too shallow there, or if being squished in the package did that.

The underwires are very wide...probably a bit too wide for me but I can't really seem to tell at this point. It extends farther back than the gray area where I'm not sure if there is ... any boob there or not. It goes into the "definitely no more boob behind this underwire" area.

I think sizing down would result in quadboob and extreme wrinkling at the bottom of the cups... so! This size is good.. just suuper pointy.

Update: After washing the bra to reset the cup shape, the wrinkling at the bottom is still there on my larger boob!! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I think 3 part cups with slight padding/moulding is something I should stay away from now, since it doesn't seem to agree with my shape.

This is for the blue/orange Ella.
I really like the cut of this bra. The bows on the straps are kind of large, but they’re not noticeable under my tank-top undershirts. The band is nice and tight feeling – a total contrast to the Tease Me I picked up at the same time. The cups are nice and deep for this size, but they are really narrow. Maybe I’m just used to Panache’s wide wires at this point, but I constantly feel like I need to pull everything back in on the side a little. I get a tiny wrinkle at the top where the lace meets the fabric ... cup, but my bottom-heavy boobs have come to expect that, especially in soft-cup bras. The underwires come up a little high in the middle (a common complaint for me). Somehow the ends put a lot of pressure on my sternum, but I think gently bending them out a little or putting something soft under them should help. The straps are NOT fully adjustable, but it’s not an issue on this model for me. The profile is a bit pointy, but it shouldn’t be a big deal under a tight undershirt. I think the cup might be a tiny bit small. I would love to try a 28FF for comparison, but the fit of this one is close enough I don’t want to mess with trying to return/exchange it. Overall I really like this bra, and am eager to try other Curvy Kate styles outside of the Showgirl range.

The cups have a gap on top (this may be better at a different point in my cycle, my breasts swell a lot on top for 2 weeks out of the month) and the center gore digs in pretty badly. The band on this one is a lot more stretchy than on the 28E I have in the same style.

I may return it depending on how well it fits in the other part of my cycle.

Update: still did not fir well, returned.

Cute bra but too small for me. Quad boob galore.

I got the 28E in nude and the 28E and 28F in black - the 28F in black fit even smaller than the 28E in nude - the wires were bigger but the cup cut in even worse - I tried every sort of strap adjustment, but could not make this bra work.

It's a beautiful and comfortable bra that I could wear on a daily basis. Only bad thing is that it cant be worn under tight clothes because of the frills.

It is slightly too big. The top pf the cup sticks out. I normally wear 28E so I will order the tease me bra in my regular size and try it out. This one just doesn't look good.

My favorite so far, after many hours of wear the wires leave little red dots under my armpit, but that's about the only bad thing. It looks very good, and the shape of the cups is similar to the shape of my breasts therefore I find it one of the most comfortable I own.

Stunning bra in looks, but comes up a bit small on the cups.
