One of the better fitting bras I've tried. The straps can adjust the full length, which is great.
The band stretched out within a month or so, but at the time I was wearing it daily. The moulding in the bottom of the cups has folded into itself.

Thanks! Glad to hear I'm not alone with that one.
This bra is awful! It does not suit my shape at all. It cuts into my breast tissue at the top of the cup, while there is empty space in the centre of the cup. It is good if you have narrow roots, short roots, and are projected. Avoid this bra if you are shallow, FOT, or have tall roots.

It gives me an impressive quadboob, but sadly I just can't afford returning it to Brastop. I need a 32F at least, and this one has to go. Otherwise it looks very nice and classy.

So I swapped the quad boob 28E for the 28F and it's alot better. There's just a bit of a creasing kind of fold thing happening on the bottom though. Does it matter? Does this mean it's a bit big? Should I just keep it? How does it look? It doesn't give that round look that most girls like but slightly pointy. But in a nice way like rounded pointy. Just takes a bit of getting used to I think.
Gorgeous colour, material is good quality and comfortable, detailing adds that special touch.

I got between a 28E 28F 30E.
I wear a 28E in the deco half cup so I thought I'd go for a 28E in the Curvy Kate Starlet bra in Frost and Boysenberry. (Total cost from Amazon including high waisted pants, postage and free returns £45).
This bra and high waisted pants set is so gorgeous, even more gorgeous than in the pictures on the website. The colours are such a nice combination, quite a modern pinup feel and the bow and jewel star detail are lovely. The material is good quality and really comfortable, the size 8 pants are a perfect fit.
However! The bra ... seems a little small in the cups. Well actually it feels fine but the top of the cups dig in slightly and this gives a weird shape and look. Although I seem to fill the cups fine. I've seen alot of reviews saying the same thing and I can't tell if this is because it's too small or just the design of the cup is wrong for my shape. The band was perfect and wasn't too tight like some 28s are. Do I need to try it in a 28f or return and forget about it? Has anyone tried in a few sizes and still failed or succeeded? I'd appreciate some feedback. Thanks. Sorry I know this was long!

Telling from experience it's always a good idea to try on bras in different sizes. Bra sizes are not set in stone. I always make sure to order more than one size when I try new bras on, because otherwise it'd be impossible to figure out whether it's a shape or a size issue.
I see this bra on zulily all the time and was really hoping it would fit me well... of course not, that would be FAR too easy! It's slightly too projected while being too closed on top. It's really freaking pretty though. I wish it fit me better.

Band is great, straps are great, quality of construction is good. The only problem is that I get major orange-in-a-glass. Darn!

**Note: this review is based on trying it on once.**
I went up from 30F to 30FF because I was getting quad-boob. As I feared, this is a slightly worse fit overall than the smaller size due to the wider wires (which I didn't need) and apparent lack of any additional depth (which I did need). I'm getting some gapping/wrinkling in the bottom and outer sides while still getting quad-boob on my larger breast in the upper middle after swooping and scooping. I can get it to look good for about five minutes, but if I move/shake it goes back to bad. Time to give up on this model! Too bad, it was almost, almost, almost right.
The 30FF has 3 hooks, which is nice.

** This review is based on trying the bra on once. **
This is the first actual padded/molded T-shirt bra that has some close to fitting so far. They are usually too shallow for my projected shape and I get immediate, obvious, and unacceptable quad-boob. I was recommended CK Starlet for projection, and it's almost right. It fits my smaller left breast perfectly, but the larger right one muffin-tops over the top of the cup.
I tried the larger cup size and it was just as bad, while having extra space in the sides I couldn't fill. Looks like I'll need to find a narrower cup and/or more open cup tops.
Close, but no cigar. I'm returning both sizes.

Cups way too big for me.

Hey, do you still have it? I have a 32E, we can swap :)
I think the Starlet's cups crumple and fold at the bottom for almost everyone. It's incredibly shallow in that area.
