Please check the actual measurements page because the measurements shown and my personal measurements are different due to them being averaged (as of one now I'm the only measurement). So far so good with this bra. IT'S SUPER COMFY. I mean they could do more to make it more comfortable but this bra feels so nice and soft on my boobs, so I actually like wearing it. The padding gives support and a nice shape under the shirt. I find the cup fit a little odd as it takes some rearranging to fit into the determined shape, but once there they seem to stay pretty good.

I do ... get the orange in a glass effect where some of the bra on the bottom goes to waste because it's impossibly shallow, and of course the cup is too tall and there's a bit of extra material on the sides too. This bra could lose some weight https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

If I should encounter any other issues with this bra past the hour I've worn it, I will update. I am curious as to if a bigger size would be an even better fit but then I might really have too much bra. I'm also curious how a size down would fit, just for curiosity's sake. They just need to have a bit more inner room near the gore for a better fit (i.e. the gore would tack if they did, right now its a few cm away but not too bad). Also there's a lot of bra on the sides but it doesn't really bother me. Possible new favorite bra right here https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Also, I saw that they were planning to remake the Daily Boost range and I'm betting it will be based off this bra.

Disappointed that this bra is more of a light indigo denim color than the bright one in the stock pictures.

I'd like to see this bra be more projected. It's not bad but it's still better suited for someone a little more shallow than me I think. I notice that if I lay back the gore tacks easily and my boobs fill the empty space on the sides. As long as CK continues to improve I think they've got an ok start here.

Before I tried this bra I have been avoiding Curvy Kate bras for a long time. I have tried some years ago and all failed on me, gave me a horrible shape and were in general just not supportive enough. They have been changing their bras over the years and after reading some positive reviews I decided to give them another chance. I'm glad I did. It's not the bra-Wonderland for my boobs but the bra is not bad either.
First of all, the shape is much better. I get a round shape from the side. Also the wires are narrower and the top of the cup is roomier ... compared to old models. I think this bra is also not bad for full on top boobs.

The band of the 36K is a bit too big for me as I measure 34 inch underbust, but it's wearable at the tightest setting. The cups are a bit on the smaller side, the gore tacks but I get the slightest hint of quadboob.
The wires are a perfect width for my average wide boobs and the cups are not too tall. I do think that the straps could be a bit wider, they are a bit uncomfortable as they are.
The material feels soft and I like the print.

But the most interesting thing for me was: the gore is quite low for a bra this size! (for comparison, the gore on 36K Panache Tango is 12.5cm and the gore of the Wonderland is 10cm)
It's the lowest gore I ever had on a 36K bra that is not a plunge. (Not that I own any plunge bras since they don't work for me)... Anyway despite this bra being not my best fit I decided to keep it for the reason that It can serve as some sort of "plunge-bra-substitute".
I don't wear very low cut tops in general but sometimes the gores in the K-cup size range are just too tall to not show. With the Wonderland I can get away with a few lower cut tops and I don't show my bra. Yay for that.

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 thought there was too much cup on the sides and top, like I did with the Arizona but worse maybe. It felt half cup too big really, my soft boobs don't feel as secure. But it gives me more coverage =/ 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).

This is the kind of bra that somehow can work for deep/projected gals. But it requires lots of rearranging otherwise it won't work, you'll spill. You need to settle your tissue in the right place. I looked at the new 32JJ CK model and saw how it looked on her and readjusted until I got there. Then, the real challenge came. Seeing if it would stay. This is where the inner depth and narrowish/lowish gore comes in handy. If your gore can tack, your bra will keep the boobs mostly in place. So far, so good. I do have the the feeling that if I bend over or ... something I'll lose my perfect prettiness, but it hasn't happened yet. I will give it a long try because I really love the color and design of this bra.

I do get a bit of annoying pokiness from the underwire, that I will be adding something too for cushion's sake if I keep it. So far I seem to get this in all of their new bras. It's like the underwire channel is too thin or something and it's a bit too long also. I couldn't stand it without altering it though.

I like that this bra is rounded because most of the other range is projected and I like to mix it up. It's really pretty and the top part is legit sheer, so your areolas are gonna be on display (took careful adjusting for mine not to be so much). The bad part is that no matter how it is, the embroidery that makes it so pretty is going to show up through thin shirts. I love the name the design and the color so I may be a little biased https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" />

This is one of their more narrower ones though, and I think it's one of their best so far. I will update if anything should start spilling out or going wrong.

This bra was a surprise! I wasn't particularly looking for a sheer bra but it is a novelty in this size and my last sheer bra was too small (75K - Ewa Michalak » Sm Czarna Mgiełka (481) ) I bought this just because I was trying every style in the new season.

I'm surprised because other than the underwires being a tad too tall and poking me/digging in, it's pretty good fit. Since the gore pretty much tacks, when you separate your boobs they seem to stay separated. When I bend, only my larger boob threatens me but then they seem to go back to ... their place. It's a projected look and not a difficult fit. The cups could be higher near the gore as I'm always complaining of but besides making feel insecure it doesn't seem like it's an issue. Minus the underwires comfort is good.

If I decide to keep the bra, I would absolutely need to do something about those poky underwires, so I would add felt and/or cut them down a tad since they are almost OK. The wires in a 34K are fine on me, it's just the 36 and up. If I encounter any spillage issues after long wear, I will definitely come back and complain here. Otherwise, take a chance and get yourself a lovely sheer bra. Sorry no side pics because - well, it's SHEER.

I got a 34K and a 36K (both Curvy Kate, different bras but similar style) to try because Bratabase said that was my recommended size.

Sagging at top of cup. Can’t fill bottom fully. I am sagging in this bra. Don’t like the shape. Too pointy.
Cups cutting into my armpits!!! Ouch!

Band is nicely snuck, tho im here and there if i should size down band on CK. Might end up using this on tighter hooks quite soon. This bra is very pretty, but sadly it gapes little bit on top since i have quite short roots paired with bottom heavy girls which causes this to fit more like full cup on me. I will probably alter that top to stop it from gaping. Its very comftable to wear. My only problem is that straps are little wide for me, but in general its the second most comftable bra i have. Feels much better to wear good fitting bra after long time wearing too small cup.

Cup is actually narrowish and UU shaped, and the depth seems like it's in the right place. This is one of CK's newer models so it could be that they've improved some things which was my hope. However since the cup is narrower than I expected, I may have ordered a cup size too large. I'll give it a try in a 34K and update accordingly. It's a beautiful bra and I love how it's really different in aesthetics than any other bra I've tried so far. I definitely do think it's a huge improvement over CK's old models.

Addendum - After trying the 34K which was much lower ... cut and too small, I have to say I can't personally recommend this bra. I think that anyone without extremely soft tissue who likes cuts like the Floris could give it a try, but there's also this weird part where the top part of the bra kind of bulges out - it's sewn that way. You can see it in the pic I put up where it's looking up under the bra. I think it's a different material than the more supportive bottom is why.

This bra has a good shape but it was too unsupportive and loose for me in 36K and it has a short top if that makes any sense, so it threatens to spill. Oddly enough, if I put on both bras I get a shape that looks exactly like EM's SM bras, while it was closer to the Jasmine with just the 36K. I think the underwire poked me a tad bit as well. I'll have to personally give up on this bra but if you like it, I think it's worth a try. But to be honest, even the model has some wrinkling and the bulge if you look closely so it may just not be a well designed bra.

This bra fits really weird. I felt like there wasn't enough cup height toward the center and I was gonna spill out. This cup and band was also too big for me so I was saggy and my breasts were pretty separate so it was just all around a bad shape. It also poked me slightly. Not gonna bother trying a cup size down as I was mostly testing this bra to see how older CK styles fit. It was really cute and I absolutely love the beautiful straps.

My favorite and most comfortable/best fitting bra I have at this time.


Update*** It it very boxy and it just real sad looking when you look straight on. I still like it, but will probably not buy anymore in this cut. Wires are just so very wide.

I really wanted this bra to work, I really like it a lot, but even in the larger cup, I still get the upside down 7 look.

I ordered this bra while being told Curvy Kate's cups run 1-2 sizes too small. .
Must not be all styles. The Gia would have fit sooo much better if I would have ordered it in my real size, a 36 G.
