I wanted to love this bra so badly! I love when bras have hooks in the back for racerback. However, it was way too big for me, wish they made smaller band/cup sizes!

I didn't, the cups were huge on this/seemingly the wrong shape for me so I just focused my energy on other brands. Good luck!

Ordered this bra along with a black one exactly the same style but for some reason this one is just too small the band is really tight and my breast looked smoshed in it. Very interesting since the black one fits perfectly! Might fit someone who usually wears around a 28DD or E? I am FOB narrow and a lot of soft tissue.

This bra was tried on and never worn. I altered the center gore thinking it might help the fit, but it still didn't work for me so I took out the alteration. The bra is in perfect condition still. I found the band is tighter than most of Curvy Kate's other styles. Willing to trade for any Cleo by Panache bras! 28gg-28hh. Would consider trading for another brand but it would depend on the bra. Curvy Kate just doesn't work for me.

I have this bra in 30G, the band was too loose so I decided to try the 28GG. The band fits perfectly but the cups are far too small. They are not projected enough so there is heavy wrinkling at the bottom of the cups.

This is a very tiny band 28 and a quite large in the cup 28FF. Doesn't fit me at all, but at least it has a narrow cup separation and nice padding.

Pros: high under arms to collect any escaping tissue, 3 hooks, nice shape under clothes
Cons: made for all around fullness, gore too wide for meUpdated on Oct 02, 2015 Flag this

My second curvy Kate bra. Went abit crazy after I got the starlet which I love.
This is defo a cute little purple one with intricate detailing. Fits well although underwires dig in slightly. Also slight quad boob on left side but okay on right!
Overall I still love this bra but will update you if the situation changes once I start wearing it out! 😉Updated on Aug 25, 2015 Flag this

I love this bra! It's one of my best fitting bras. I never feel like I'm going to "fall out" and the subtle leopard print is super cute. I have this bra in nude and just bought it in the raspberry color too. The nude is great - and the pattern doesn't show under clothing! The actual wire doesn't fill in the entire length of the the fabric where the wire should be (I'm not sure if that makes sense - not sure how to describe it!) - this doesn't affect the fit, but I'm worried the wire will pop through the fabric eventually since it seems to ... "push" on it where the wire ends.
The raspberry color is SUPER bright and very cute. However, I ordered it on Ebay and while it was listed as New With Tags (and it did still have the tags - and was still in the Curvy Kate bag) it has these VERY tiny white dots on the cups. I thought it was fuzz or dirt or something at first, but washed it and they are still there. It's not very noticeable since they are so small, but I can tell they are there. Has anyone else had this issue with the Smoothie bra?

This bra is a complete disaster on me. The only reason I hung onto it for so long is because it looked decent under clothes, and I needed a smooth t-shirt type bra that matched my skin tone to wear under button-down shirts at a research conference.
For reference, here's a quick run-down of my shape: I have projected boobs with immediate projection at the bottom. I have almost no tissue on the side of my ribcage and very tall roots that extend up to my collarbone. My boobs are also extremely close-set - at a certain point on my sternum there is no ... way any gore will tack because I have less than a millimetre of space in between my boobs. For this reason I usually need low gores. I am also full in the centre and have about even distribution between the tops and the bottoms of my boobs.
The Smoothie is way, way too shallow for me, particularly at the bottom - the bottoms of the cups are permanently buckled as a result of my breasts not being able to sit in the cups properly. The straps are fully adjustable but feel quite loose and stretchy - they're not as bad as the straps on the Tease Me bras, but I could still feel them slipping down at the conference. The gore's technically the right height for me - it's not low enough that I'd be constantly spilling out of it, and it's not high enough to sit on tissue - but it's too wide for my boobs so ends up being pushed away anyway. My Smoothie also has something weird going on where the wires are too short for the channels and won't don't extend all the way up to the gore, which worsens the problem of the gore being pushed out. I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not.
The top of the cup doesn't feel closed off, and seems to be compatible with upper fullness and/or tall roots in this respect. However, my centre fullness (liberated by the poorly-fitting gore) sneaks up throughout the day, so I get quadboob in the middle. I have empty space on the side and the wires poke me in the armpits, but this is something I seem to get in pretty well every non-Polish bra.
I am of Western European descent and have very pale skin, despite living in Australia, and this bra did a reasonable job of matching my skin tone. It could probably work for someone with similar colouring to me with more of a light tan as well.
I'll conclude this review by noting that this is the older Smoothie cut, so I'm not sure if the issues I've experienced are present in the new cut (Smoothie Wild, I think it is?) as well.
I'll be listing it as a giveaway, for obvious reasons.
