I would say this bra really gives that cakes on a platter look but it noticeably to small on me. when i swoop and scoop my nipple is basically coming above the cup so i definitely would need something taller. The colors are very pretty and vibrant, i don’t really like bright colors bras so the bra accents and over mesh overlay really help tone it down and the ribbon is a very cute pop of color.
For 30 bands this one seems firmer to me but I actually prefer it that way since my rib cage measures around 26”. I think if i’d ordered the 30E the fit would be much better and the cleavage with square neck tops would be a bit more appropriate.

This bra is beautiful! I couldn’t resist it when I found it on Poshmark. I wanted the ‘cakes on a plate look’ but unfortunately I created an underarm flapjack look. Hahaha! The cups are too big, not sure why it created so much underarm flab. I am currently losing weight so maybe that makes my tissue more plentiful? Lol. I am open to ideas. Still searching!

I have been lusting after this bra for a long time. I really love how it looks on the model and a variety of other users. It's super cute too. It doesn't really look sexy IMO. I saw the measurements on another users account, said "Wellp, they're close enough," and decided to buy. I figured this bra would help me figure out my "cup depth max." Unfortunately it did not as this bra is very stiff and has an odd shape at that. I really can't account for comfort. About ten minutes of wear doesn't really tell me much. From what I recall, it felt no discomfort during ... my short time wearing it. I will not be wearing it out any time soon because of what I presume to be a shape mismatch. I have ordered this same bra in a 28D just to see how it fits. I have an inkling I may have gone smaller than I should have, but we shall see. We shall see.
The straps are of course really wide. I do not believe that they would be a huge bother to me or fall off of my shoulders. That little loopy detailing on the sides of the straps makes them feel rougher than I imagine they would otherwise be. I don't feel this detail is really noticeable when being worn so I really think it's an addition that should be left off of most bras; it seems to be a common decoration. The straps are also fully adjustable. Albeit that same bit of detailing makes it a bit difficult to adjust. I'm sure that same detail also makes it harder for the hardware to slip. Although I have never had an issue with straps self loosening.
The cups are super interesting to me. It appears to be a cut and sew foam cup made exclusively with vertical seams. I imagine this is supposed to push the bust way up and create Antoinette style cleavage. It also creates a very shallow cup with the largest cup depth near the top of the cup. Although this bra is not sold as a half cup or anything short of an average coverage cup, so the cup being designed like a half cup bra doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Nor do I think a "half cup" should provide full/average coverage as I have seen this bra do on almost everyone that wears it. It does have decent projection next to the gore. For those women with a lot of inner fullness, this bra should accommodate that pretty well. I do not have a lot of inner fullness, so that's the area of the cup that gapes the most for me. The foam is pretty smooth feeling but it is not lined so it is just foam and seams directly against the breast. It wasn't very noticeable to me but worth noting. I could see the ruffle like detailing above the edge of the cup being rough and annoying to those with sensitive skin. This style seems to run pretty small compared to most curvykate models that I have looked at. This 28:6 runs more like a 28:5 or 28:4. If you have all the fullness on top this bra should fit you pretty well. If you have soft, easily moulded breasts than this bra should also fit you. For me, this bra simply encased my breast tissue and did a bit of smooshing.
The wires were not hugely noticeable to me. Although they are pretty firm to the touch and do not warp easily at all. They say that Curvy Kate bras have wide wires. This bra does not. These wires are pretty narrow for a bra in this size. It also appears to be constructed similar to my Comexim bra; of course with a whole lot less projection. What I'm referring to here is how the under wire and the cup are attached to one another. It's REALLY hard for me to describe. This bra would have really good projection if it have a better shaped cup.
The band is once again an OK fabric. I'm certainly not impressed with the fabrics used in this bra. The elastic feels like it is high quality and it is nice and soft to the touch. The band feels super stretchy and I it only stretches to about 29". I would say it is TTS, yet have this feeling that it would stretch out fairly quickly because I immediately felt like I needed the tightest hook. My loose under bust is about 27"/28". I don't think I absolutely NEEDED the tightest hook and could probably use the middle or loosest hook, but it just didn't feel as secure as I like it too. An average 28 band wearer would think this band was perfect, IMO.
The wings of this bra go from being 3.5" inches tall (connected to the cup) down to 2.5" in about an inch worth of space. So, the wings of this bra decreases in height really quickly IMO. I thought that was a little note worth mentioning.
Oh, and the Gore! It's pretty narrow, which is nice. I am finding that there really is not that many women whom have wide set breasts. I thought I had wide set breasts for the longest time simply because my tissue is shallower there than the rest of my breast. But when I push my breasts against my chest it is clearly visible that there just is not much space between my breasts. I feel that this happens to most women after finding out about correct bra sizing. The Gore also remains narrow down the entire length of the gore. Which is REALLY nice because most gore's may be narrow towards the top but then get very wide at the bottom. I almost always have wires sitting on my larger breast because the gore does not maintain it's narrow width all the way down.
All in all I wish the quality of this bra was a bit better over all. They're pretty costly when not on sale and should therefore have better materials used. The construction is fine, although I believe the cup could be designed better. To eachs own as they say! I realize that this bra was not made for a shape like mine and due to this shape mismatch it may never fit me right. BUT! It is a really adorable bra and I hope that the cup width doesn't decrease too much with a two cup size difference. Because I want the 28D (or 28DD if the ladder is way to small) to fit as well as I can get it to for our shape differences.

I own two of these bras, a 28F and a 30E. Neither one fits properly, and they fit very differently. They obviously are slightly different cuts of the bra. The lace trim along the top of the cup is attached differently, creating a much lower coverage cup on the 30E bra than on the 28F, so my nipples always end up poking up out of the cup. The gore digs in on both of them, and is much higher and more painful on the 28F. Overall, this is a pretty bra, but in both sizes and slightly different cuts I have, it's unwearable.

Yet again ... Curvy Kate, why are you doing this to me? The 32E - Curvy Kate » Tease Me [showgirl Collection] (SG2001) was too small and my nipples were sticking out of the cup, but the 32F in the same model and colourway is just too damn big! There is at least a centimeter of space between my flesh and the bra in the upper part of the cup and I am *so* disappointed. Well, this one is going to be 'look at me in it and take it off now' bra.

[EDIT 14.01.2014] After a while of wearing it I seem to like the fit more and more. Now it kind of adjusted to my boobs and I like the fit nicely. Magic or what?

Okay, so this isn't a perfect fit because the band is super stretchy. However, I totally knew that going in, so it's not a problem (and I have a Rixie Clip). Fits great in the cups as I expected because it's the same size cup as my 28HH (though it is a few centimeters taller on my boobs). I knew I'd love this bra when I saw it because I totally love my red one. It does separate my boobs a bit more than I'd like, but that is also not a big deal.

My soft breast tissue allows me to fill pretty much whatever shape the bra ... is, so this works just fine. At some point I might attempt the same adjustment to it as I did with the red one (where I brought the cups closer together), but for now it's good. I was a bit surprised at the metal detailing on the straps (just because the red one doesn't have the same), but it doesn't bother me. I think it might make the straps sturdier or something. Anyway, I like this bra quite a bit. The blue color really is lovely.

Remember, if you're looking at this bra, it runs a cup size smaller than normal. I'm a 28H/30GG (underbust is currently 29" so I mostly wear 30GGs on the middle or tightest hooks), but take a 28HH/30H in the Tease Me.

Gorgeous bra, but unfortunately it's just not for me. The wires are super high under my armpits, I can't fill the bottom of the cup, the cups are waaaaayyy too wide for my shape. The overall fit is quite awkward, I feel that it squishes my boobs against my ribcage and makes my body look much bulkier than it is.

The band is super comfortable though (if a bit loose for me, even with it being a 28), the fabric and construction are superb and don't even get me started on the look: it's one of the most beautiful bras I have ever owned. I own this bra in a gorgeous lavender color. I mean, the bra is so pretty it took me forever to accept that I should let it go, even though I have worn it only a couple of times. Oh well https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

I know many people prefer to wear the Tease Me for "special occasions" but I must confess that it's an everyday bra for me. I just love wearing it. It doesn't work well with thin summer tops because of the lace but everything else is fair game.

As many people have noted, the Tease Me doesn't have the tightest band on the block. Indeed, it's the first 28" bra I own that I have to start on the second hook. The first one feels too lose.

Strap placement is great for my narrow shoulders. I never feel them slipping. They're also fully adjustable and that's always a plus.

Since I also ... have a 30DD and it fits kind of good in the cups, I admit I was a bit worried that the 28F would be too big. While the package was on its way to me, I wondered several times if I'd made the right choice. As it turns out, I did make the right choice. It's the correct size and the cups are filled properly. I know many people find that the cups run small, but I haven't found that to be the case on me.

The only thing is that I don't get as much cleavage as I do with my 30DD. No biggie though.

The other (temporary) downside is that the lace is still too stiff to lie properly against my boobs and is thus visible under thin clothing. A problem that will disappear with wearing and washing.

Otherwise, the Tease Me is a great padded-half cups. It offers goos support, a great rounded shape and manages to do it while looking stunning.

Seems fairly true to size in the cups, although it's a touch loose in the back and the cups are quite shallow. Ideally it would fit a large 30J or small 32HH. The gore is a bit wide on me and the straps are slightly too wideset, but other that that it seems good. The wires are a fairly standard width (neither wide nor narrow) and it gives mega Marie Antoinette cleavage on me, mostly due to it being too small. The band and straps are made of a very stretchy (but comfortable) material. Very stunning bra, definitely worth a try for anyone who suits the style.

Curvy Kate recently released the Smoothie, a moulded plunge bra up to a J cup (though only in two band sizes). Though I usually wear a 30JJ in most brands (and often a 30K in Curvy Kate), early rev...
