I don't know what's going on with this bra. The gore is too wide for me, and I think the cup is too small. The top part of the lace always wants to flip down, but my nipples are barely in this bra at all. Despite what others have recommended for me, this is not a good fit.

It fits great on my left (larger) boob. If I were going to keep this bra I'd need a cutlet to fill the right cup. The band is acceptable, it doesn't ride up, but I prefer a slightly tighter band.

However, I can't wear this bra. The wires dig quite painfully into my sternum and underarms. The wire doesn't seem to come unusually high in either place. It just seems like it's maybe lacking padding and the wires are shaped oddly. I tried bending them outwards but it didn't fix the problem even though the wires are now ... noticeably bent. They still poke painfully.

The wires poking is so bad that even after just wearing it for less than half an hour to test the fit, move around, and take some pictures, 12 hours later my sternum has a sore spot and my underarms are tender.

I am really sad that I can't wear it. It's so pretty and otherwise fits pretty well. But the pain makes it completely unwearable. If anyone knows how I can fix that, I'd appreciate if you dropped me a note. Remember I already tried bending so I'm not sure I can do much more.

I wanted to love this bra. The pink and red combination make a lovely rosy color, and the mesh and lacing are so cute. It was just not a good fit. The underwires dug in really painfully at my sides and sternum. The band fit way too loosely. I clipped the band to try it tighter, and the lift was a little better at the cups. As is, my breasts just rested inside of the cups instead of being supported in any way. With a tighter band it could have passed as an uncomfortable bed room only bra.

I am really disappointed with this one.

Ugh! Well this one was definitely not for me! I heard that this bra might be good to try if some of the Mimi Holliday ones fit me well. Unfortunately, I must not be nearly full on top...or full enough in general to fit this.

The cups are definitely deep enough for a full 28D but only if you're reallly full on top and shallow near the bottom. Also, the wires are incredibly stiff and do not flex at all so if you require wide width wires at all, this will definitely not be forgiving to you at all and actually dig in (like it did to me) ... if you're too wide. The wire, especially on the outer sides of the cup, turn inwards and up fast like a sharp C shape so it helps if you have much more narrower roots and a narrower build overall.

The bra is an incredibly pretty and gorgeous color but the shape definitely did not fit me. It definitely assured me that I need some projection on bottom and I am way more FoB than I thought.

The wires on this bra are incredibly narrow, and the cups seem to move straight up from the apex. Goodness this is a confusing bra. Really pretty, but I would need much narrower, taller breasts for it to fit anything close to right.

C-. The band was comfortable, but the cups gapped like crazy, the wire on my smaller boob side dug into my ribs so bad, and the gore was so painful. Not a good fit https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

This bra is so pretty! Seems to run true to size. The band and straps fit great, but the band seems kinda stretchy. I am between cup sizes, and would need to go up a cup for more coverage. The wires seem to run slightly narrow. The top of this bra is pretty open, so even though the cup was overall too small, it still gapped at the top. I would recommend this to others if they could find the right fit.

This is the first Curvy Kate bra I've tried on. I think the band is slightly too loose. My underbust is 27, and if they made 26s I think I would prefer that, but it isn't horrible. I think the wire width is good, but digs in at the sternum. I wish the cups were more molded, since I think this bra has the potential to give me a really good shape it the cups were less floppy, but at the moment, I'm not sure if it is too deep, too small, or too large in the cups.. Also, the lace, while beautiful, stands out from my breasts-- touching the lace would require some major quad boob!

Strap fits great on my 27 inch back/rib measurement, and it very comfortable in that regard. However the cup is too narrow and it leaves a lot of gaping at the top of the cups, rendering them completely useless https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I also have a huge problem with the underwire where it hits my sternum. It digs in so much that the skin over my breastbone is red and painful after only a minute of wearing this bra. I am really disappointed.

Ordered this in a 28D. I love how this bra looks, but the cups were slightly too small in this size for me...I think. The lace just barely covers my nipples and has a tendency to flip down and just leave them exposed. If the cup was a bit higher I think it would fit perfectly, but I'm not sure! It's hard to tell with how the cups are cut on this bra. I ended up ordering a couple other Curvy Kate styles in 28DDs and I'm actually not sure if the cups will be perfect or too big on those because of how this bra is cut.
