This bra is really beautiful- a lot prettier than I expected, even. The lace and ruffles on it are a bit inconvenient for under shirts, and the colors show through clothes that aren't opaque, but it's not as pronounced as with the Thrill Me, which I also tried.

It's also really really comfortable- the cups are lightly padded with very soft material, so it's like supportive pillows for my boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

I have a few complaints, though- number one is that the cups are too wide for me. If I lean over when I'm wearing it, my boobs try to ooze towards the front ... of the bra since they naturally want to be closer together, resulting in minor quad-boob. The straps are also very far apart, right up in my armpits. The straps aren't made of the nicest material, which is a shame- I much prefer the straps on Freya bras, which are firmer and more comfortable.

The band is stretchier than the Thrill Me by far; it's not as loose as a 30 but not really as tight as I like a 28, either. (I have a 27" underbust, for reference.)

Wine/Navy

As I said in my other reviews, I own three of these bras and use them as t-shirt bras with the ruffles and the bows on the straps removed. These bras are really comfortable and fit me perfectly. This bra is by far my favorite style. The shape is round and smooth. See other reviews for more.

10/10

update 12/12/12 lol:
I've actually been wearing my unpadded cleo bras a lot more recently because I feel a lot more comfortable and secure in them. I tried wearing this one yesterday morning, and it just isn't as comfy or supportive. Also, I've had the same problem with all of the Curvy Kate bras I've tried: when I take my bras off my thumbnail puts a small hole in the band and I don't even press hard with my nail either. So, I'd say that's a quality issue.

I bought the wrong size so this bra can not fit me...
But 28 cm cup depth is not enough for a 28J?

Jade/Fuchsia

This bra is my favorite bra! I now own three and use them as t-shirt bras because of how smooth the satin is. I cut the ruffles off because I'm one of those people that just hates them because they show under clothing. I also removed the bows on the straps. Alterations aside, this bra is a perfect fit on me. The back band is nice and firm and sits where it's supposed to. The straps are fully adjustable and are super comfortable. The colors are absolutely beautiful. My favorite colors are teal and fuchsia, so to be able ... to find a bra with those colors is just amazing for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I can't wipe the smile off my face when I look at this bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> The center gore sits flat on my chest and doesn't poke at all and the wires contain all of my breast tissue on the sides and don't poke at all either. The only issue I have with this bra is that I get a bit of orange in a glass problem with the bottom of the cups. They seem to be shallower than my Wine/Navy colorway.

Update 10/4/12: The Jade/Fuchsia colorway has now become too small in the cups for me and I have double boob. The Wine/Navy is still a perfect fit though. Like I said before, I think the newer colorways are cut smaller.

With the small armhole (high band), this bra is a bit uncomfortable. As I work on the computer, the straps cut into my arms just slightly.

The black is a bit noticeable under t-shirts, but the shape isn't bad.

Ivory/Black

This colorway runs about on cup size bigger than other colors. So I do get a small amount of gaping on the top of the cups, but I fixed it by just tightening the straps more. As, I said in my other review, I own three of these bras and use them as t-shirt bras for everyday wear. The band is firm and comfortable and the straps are fully adjustable.

9/10 because of the sizing

Brand new, just received. As of right now I'll say that the cups of this are entirely way to wide for me. They extend too far around to my back, a problem I have with pretty much every bra. The detail on the edge of the cups extends past the edge. The edge sits flat, but the extra detailing tends to lift a touch. After about an hour of wear the center gore on this lifts off my chest and I end up with marks from the fabric.

Review to come soon. Ordered in my same band size, one cup size down from normal. The fit is good with the exception of slight gapping below the strap but that has more to do with my bottom heavy, soft breasts.

I love the look of the curvy Kate showgirl range but they do lack slightly in the fit.
The bands are pretty lose, I'm a 28 in this range compared to my normal 30. Which means cup size wise I have to go up to a J. and while being not a perfect fit I do enjoy it.

The centre gore doesn't quite lay flat to my chest. But in all fairness I don't wear this enough, I see it more as a bedroom bra and not a day to day bra.
