This bra is cute but the cups are too big for me. Also the center gore digs into my sternum because it's too tall.

This is a wine/navy colourway, the "new" fit. I need 28 band but because 32E was very cheap, I bought a sister size to 28FF.

Obviously I altered the band to 28. I´d say the cups run small, because I have quadboob and my usual size in Panache etc is 28F or 28FF.

Other than that I have no complaints. The bra is comfortable, straps adjust all the way, wires not poking. My boobs are shallow and I need normal-wide wires. The fit is good except for the slight quadboob.

ETA. The wires are after all too narrow, they poke me in the sides.

This was my first attempt at a properly fitted bra; I suspect if I'd been able to stay longer I would have settled on a smaller band size or larger cup size. At the time the band felt quite tight (I'd been wearing 34's prior), but it's stretched out quite quickly with wear and I've since discovered I'm actually a 30 in most brands. It's still wearable without riding up, but I'm already on to the last hooks. It's also too small in the cup, since I bought it before I had really figured out how to swoop and scoop properly, so I get quadboob/spillage in the centre. It's a very comfortable bra, however, with wires wide enough not to cut into me, so I'm already looking into finding one in my proper size. In the meantime, when I get brave enough, I'm thinking of taking in the centre gore to tighten the band and open the upper edge of the cup.

Curvy Kate why don't you like me! The cup gaps considerably at the top and the band is too big. I'd read these fit small so I'd ordered up. Maybe a 30F would have fit?

I think I should maybe give up on Curvy Kate with my shape. Would love to find one that fits because they are so pretty. And though its not evident from these pictures this one also gives me a "sad" shape. I had read it was from the cups being too small but even when the cups are wrinkling I have the same shape

I wasn't thrilled with the fit of this bra. It was too pointy, which was made worse by the fact that I did not fill out the top. This one got returned, sadly. It is really beautiful though.

I ended up sending this bra back, because although i believe this to be the closest to my "correct" size in the showgirl line, it still felt wrong and more unflattering than the 34e tempt me i have which feels a cup size too small and a band size too large. Ive heard that the wild is supposed to have the same cut as the tempt me, so im basing my comparison of the two of them on that.

The band on this closed on the last hook, but it felt painful and cutting. Perhaps it would have stretched after a while, seeing as the general consensus is they ... do, but then i feel like it would be back in the territory of too stretchy to support. I'm thinking it more of an issue with the particular material its made of, that it either gives a ton or fits technically correct but irritates. Im am confused then, as to what band size i should get, as the 34 needs to be on the tightest hook for me to wear it.

The cup feels like it's wide enough to contain my breast tissue on the sides (unlike the 34e i have, which definitely cuts in after a while), but i don't actually get much cleavage and seem to have to re adjust more often. I also get some gaping at the top outer corners. I wonder if it's because the cup has more room and doesn't press my chest and hold it back like the smaller one, so it leaves room for movement and settling. Of course, this means that from the side it do get a good shape, and not the minimized one that i get in the smaller cup (from it pressing back). So, in the right cup size, this is actually wrong for my shallow, wide set, bottom heavy shape. weh https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Style wise this isn't really my bag, I'm not a fan of animal print. I do feel it keeps from looking trashy, because it's a sheer print over a deeper scarlet, not a bright red. I also love that its paired with a rich creme-gold, as opposed to black, it's more elegant and less boudoir. if it were just those two and no animal print, i would have probably liked it more. I especially love the bow details and how the satiny red fabric continues onto the wing before becoming the red mesh of the band.

If you can fit these bras, i would say go for it because they are pretty well made and when they fit, comfortable.

Gives a bit of a feeling like it's too big, because my boobs don't exactly have this Marie Antoinette look, but still cool.

Really a bit too small.. Cups are not wide enough (excess tissue on the sides) and pretty shallow so my boobs almost get pushed under my chin https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> As they didn't have a bigger size available I did decide to keep it. Perhaps not the best idea, but it's so pretty and it was on sale (Brastop).

Think I'll mostly wear this in the bedroom, or perhaps more often if I lose some weight.

The model (pretty shallow cups, balcony) does suit my boob shape (close together, fuller on top). Despite being too small it's still pretty comfortable. Would like to find it in a bigger size!

Ribcage: 77.0
Breast: 27.5
Nip2neck: 22
Weight: 125lb

BAND: The bra fits at the very edge hook with room for two fingers (whereas the 34E, I could clasp the furthest one in and still put a whole hand under the band).

UNDERWIRE: Fairly comfortable, no digging in and am well padded. The wires are a little wider than what the usual shape I prefer (bra's that pull the girls front and center, no E&W thanks) but for a soft bra, the position isn't bad. The wire at the armpits is not high enough to help migrated and escaped breast tissue move back into place.

GORE: the center gore might be a tad ... too high for me as sometimes it pushed some force onto my ribs (not enough to bruise or be sore after a day of wear), just a tad uncomfortable. Nothing a little bending of the wires won't fix.

LACE & CUP: The lace is pretty decent quality with good embroidery stitching. The shape is a little pointy when worn, though that might be due to my own breast shape.

My larger side fills the cup nicely (during period) and the top edge of the lace lies flush-ish (there are no 'wrinkles' but its not like lego pieces perfect). My smaller side has an issue of wrinkles at the top. Perhaps one size down might be a better fit for both larger and smaller side breasts.

CONCLUSION: I'll be keeping this bra as an at home or errands day bra. It's very comfy and pretty but the shape it gives....doesn't quite fit my wardrobe's demands haha

Very cute bra, just the wrong size for me. This is a brand new bra, not stretched at all, measurements taken before I return it.

Nice cleavage, not scratchy, very comfy.

This is actually less comfortable than the 32DD Curvy Kate Emily (CK5001) I have because the wires poke up higher on the side. I think I need the wire wider.

Updated on Sep 04, 2013 Flag this

This one also needed to be taken in along the mesh/solid fabric line because the top of the cup gapped.

I just don't get CK sizing! I just got a Curvy Kate Caribbean Curves Balcony Bikini Top (CS4001) in a 32D and it fits decently. But this 32E is way too small. I think the wires are too narrow and the cup feels too shallow, even though I have shallow boobs. My roots are normal, not wide, not narrow. My boobs come up way to the top of the cup, so much so that you can see my nipples.

Seems very similarly constructed to Freya Eloise Plunge (4951) and gives a similar natural shape (supported, but very pointy compared to Cleo Lucy (5851)). I like the details of this bra a lot. It definitely rates wearing a full day to determine more.

I feel like this bra didn't give me nearly enough support and it gave my boobs a bad shape. However, I think it was a cup size too big for me.

This bra fits me perfectly! I got it in seafoam and pink which I hear is slightly different than the other colors. The center gore is a little higher than I'm used to but it's great. The bra is very pretty I do feel that the band has stretched quite a bit an wish I sized down in the band.

Updated on Aug 18, 2013 Flag this

I am very happy to report that this size in the Fleurty fits - almost perfectly. The cups fit well, but I would say the band is still a bit loose; I am fastening it on the tightest hook. I haven't been able to find a 30F anywhere, which I think might be perfect, but I like this bra so much that I'll be ok with shortening the band.
Just like the other ones I'd tried, it has soft material, and feels comfortable when on. The cups come up higher than the Tease Me, so there is less threat of nipples sneaking over the top, but the gore is a bit narrower so I don't find that it digs in.

This is the second size of this bra that I ordered, and sadly, it's still not a great fit. The band is pretty loose, and I can fasten it on the tightest hook and it still feels a bit roomy.

The bra feels comfortable, it's soft on the inside and the straps adjust completely. The wires feel comfortable, they don't cut in or irritate under the armpit, and the straps don't feel too wide for my shoulders.

The top of the cup still doesn't seem to lie completely flat; I'm hoping that has something to do with not being able to adjust everything down to the proper tightness. I found a 30F in stock at brastop, which is on its way to me. Hoping the third one is the charm!

The Tease Me is a wonderful bra to look at, and for someone with bottom heavy boobs where fuller cups tend to wrinkle at the top a dream as it pushes the breast up a bit, filling the bottom and then lets whatever is left of breast tissue mound on top. A really flattering bra, simply, since it gives the illusion of rounder breasts.

The materials are soft and comfortable, but it should be said that the padding is rather thick (sadly) and that because the lace goes all the way out the where the wings start said lace sadly rubs against the fold between arm and breast. It ... would have been better if the lace had ended right at the side seam, giving way to the soft, blue elastic.

A lot of people choose to go a band size down in this bra, and a cup size up. I measure a little larger than 30 inches, with very little padding to provide a barrier, and I think it would have been agony going down to a band 30 in this. I suppose I could have gotten away with it, with a bra extender while breaking it in, but really I wouldn't recommend it unless you have some give to soften the firm hug this gives your rib cage, because even though the band is very stretchy it hugs you tight and stays in place.

When it comes to cup size, I think the reason many people recommend going up is not so much that the cup size is off as the fact that the cup is designed to give another look/feel. It is a rather shallow cup in the bottom, forcing breast tissue up and because it is a low cut design if you have top heavy breasts there is a tendency to overflow the top. Not because the cup size is off, but because the design and lift is different. So, if you have top heavy breasts do size up, but if you are bottom heavy be happy because you might just have a bra on hand that you can actually fill in your cup size.

Overall, a beautiful addition to any wardrobe.

Oh, and as for fitting under clothes I think the biggest problem is the side bows! The lace lays surprisingly flat, and is almost not visible underneath my blouses and dresses at all, but then I favour soft drapes for my hourglass form, rather than clingy ones.
