This is such a pretty bra! I am so sad it doesn't fit me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I think the shape is just all wrong for me. The straps are much too wide set, and there is not enough support in the cups (in addition to them being too small) so my boobs are saggy and overflowing. The placement of the seam between the thicker, lined lower portion of the cup and the thinner, unlined upper portion hits much too low and winds up creating a sort of square shape to my boob where the lower portion goes down and then at the ... seam the go straight up as they press against the thinner upper portion of the cup. (Though this effect is not as bad in the Princess as in the Emily I tried on.) I honestly really like how the lower/outer (thicker) portion of the cup fits, but it just drops the ball above that. I think this bra will work better for someone with perkier boobs with more of their own rounded shape, and/or someone with much wider shoulders.

The bra does seem like if it fit well it would be quite comfortable. It is nice and light-feeling (although I wonder if it's too light-weight to stand up to really big boobs) and very sexy and pretty.

Like other reviewers I've seen, I suspect if I could get this several cup sizes bigger and tighten the straps up I could get it to fit much better. I would really need something like a 32LL or so for this to really fit well. Curvy Kate, your sizing makes me very sad https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Well, this one is better for me than the Princess or the Emily, but it still doesn't work.
It is a bit more supportive because the lower section of the cup is a nice firm satin material, and this is a larger amount of the cup than the lace part. Also the seam runs diagonally from low in the middle to high on the sides (just inside the strap attachment point) so it doesn't have the "square" effect that the Princess and especially the Emily did.

The cups seem a little wider than on the others too. The band is made of fairly stretchy mesh and is not ... very supportive.
It is quite comfortable for a fancy bra that doesn't really fit me, though! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> Other than the fact that the straps are too narrow and dig in, that is.

Overall, Curvy Kate bras will be best for those with fairly perky boobs who don't need a lot of lift. And they don't really work well in the upper end of the size range. Again, it's possible that if I could get this in like a 32L or so it would fit better, but that's less clear than with the Princess.

I like the pink stitching on the black part, it would be nice if there was some pink in the lace cup edging too.

Great tankini, fits just like the Arizona. There are issues with it though:

1. Straight down body means riding up for anyone with hips

2. Not enough inner depth means you'll have to size up more than what you normally might, like the Arizona.

3. Cups are sewn in, so you can't control the coverage like you could in a tankini where you can pull the tankini over the bra.

In this particular size, I felt really good on it. It was super supportive and secure, and there wasn't too much bra, unlike the 36K which feels bulky. Unfortunately, as you may be able to see in the pictures, it's a tad ... small for me so there's even less coverage and it sort of acts like a push up bra. If I go down a size or a full size, I'd much prefer this over the 36K. It's really the coverage that bugs me here. Since I'm dieting and nursing, I'm not even remotely sure which I should keep or if I should return both and buy one closer to summer (but I'm afraid it'll be sold out).

Underwires are rather springy, sometimes they pinch the side of my boob under the armpit. Slightly too small in the cup, I think I would wear a 34KK if they made it. Some wrinkling under the cup, not quite projected enough for me. Fabric is a bit scratchy. Still the best fitting bra I've found so far.

Curvy Kate Lottie Pink/Flowers 34K
I like the print - it's totally my style https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> Actually this one was the best out of the bunch! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_surprised.gif" alt=":O" /> Shocking isn’t it? But then “best”--- among bad bras.
Usual CK issues striked like unstable construction, weak wires and the band--- worst quality band there are on the bra market, really!
I did take the bra out of the parcel and then I saw it… the band looked like that: http://www.flickr.com/photos/96373516@N07/sets/72157634562101922/ !!!
And this was before I even tried it on! I thought this happens only if one wears the bra for a while. I complained, returned it and got full refund!
The biggerst problem (besides the bad quality band) is that the wires are not supportive enough to fully support a 32K / 34K bust :/
Why, why are those CK bras sooooo cute?!

I was optimistic about this one, but it doesn't seem to fit quite right, which is disappointing because I love the look of Lotties, and the colour is very nice. It's quite comfortable. It feels like a true 34 band, which is nice. I'll be wearing this for now, but I will probably list it soon enough.

This is a pretty nice bra. It could almost work as a "nude" for me if it were less... Brown? Pink? My skin is a bit more yellow in comparison. The diamanté at the gore is a nice touch, I'm sure it would look great if the gore would stop folding in on itself. I get a really weird flat-at-the-front shape from this bra. I know tutorials exist to fix this and make it more round, and the fact that the cups are a bit too big might be helpful in the alterations, if I ever get around to tackling it. It really pokes at my sides though, so I think I'm more likely to list it than fix it.

I will write a review of this bra for my blog in due course but for now here is a brief summary.

I LOVE this bra - it is so simple and pretty. I was longing for it to work for me.

The top half of the cups are made from a sheer fabric with an embroidered edge which is very sexy. The candy pink bows and stitching are a girlie contrast to the elegant black and bring a bit of fun to the bra. The fabrics used are of high quality and feel wonderfully soft but durable.

The band is reasonably firm and the section between the ... cups is not stretchy.

The straps are fully adjustable and have circular rings attaching them to the bra's band. There are three rows of three hooks and eyes.

Sadly it was no good for me in 34K as it was still a smidge too small in the cups and cut into my upper breast tissue. Interestingly, however, the cups were too wide, meaning that yet again I had found a bra which was too shallow for me. Also the band was much too big for me and I wore the bra on the tightest hooks straight away.

Interestingly I had to have the straps on the 34K adjusted almost fully, but perhaps this was because I found the band too loose. Also there was no gap between the cups on the central gore, whereas with the 32K there was a definite gap. This will have affected the positioning of my breasts within each bra.
