    Didn't fit

    I've been eying the this bra for a while and finally took the plunge when it went on sale. I noticed when looking on the entries for my usual size (28GG) that the cups seem to run small. I'm pretty sure this is intended to give the "sexy" effect, but I wasn't too keen on that so I went ahead and ordered a size up. In the end, I'm glad I did, because it juuuust fits.

    The design is definitely alluring, in particular with the berry/black, but doesn't have quite the oomph I was expecting. That could be because I ordered up a size, but I know there's ... other ways to make a bra cleavage-y without just making it too small in the cups, so it's just a teensy bit disappointing. For all the cleavage hype, the cups are suprisingly tall and spaced, imo. The straps are very wide set, much too wide for me. If I were to wear the straps where the bra wants them to be, they'd be slipping off my shoulder all day long and I'd get gaping at the top edge, so I have to pull them in to sit in the right place. The sides don't poke for me, but if you typically have issues with tall, wideset cups poking armpits then you'll probably get that problem in this bra. The padding is very light, the material itself isn't itchy or uncomfortable for me, but I've noticed the lace at the top of the cup can give the illusion of gaping, even though the top of the cup is flat against the breast. The wires are also pretty wide, but that's basically a given with Curvy Kate. They're stiff but not stabby. The bra has three hooks and the band is on the strechier side of a 28, more like a 30.

    Over all, I love it, and the SO gives it two thumbs up https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />

    Edit: Unfortunately, after wearing this bra a few times, I've discovered it's SO shallow at the bottom that during wear my boobs will actually push the bra out of my imframmary fold and down my ribs, where it will chafe. So, daily wear is out https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Still good for special occassions!

    30D

    Didn't fit

    I didn't know what to expect from the Curvy Kate Tease Balcony, but I was worried it might turn out to be stiff, uncomfortable, and a bit cheap-looking based on images online. However, I was pleased to discover that this is actually quite a nice bra! The main problem is that I had to order it in a 30D as my normal size of 30DD wasn't available, and the 30D is far too small. I plan to try it sometime in my normal size of 30DD.

    The Tease Balcony is an open-top 3HC that gives amazing Marie Antoinette-type cleavage. Since I am not very ... projected, sometimes bras that give this type of cleavage will give a minimized appearance from the side, but I think this bra would avoid that issue as the cups are pretty structured. The 3 part cups are made from a rather thick and firm foam. However, because the wires are very firm on this bra and a size too small, I had the orange in a glass effect, which meant my tissue didn't fill out the cups properly as intended. This made the separate panels of the cups sit a little oddly, but I think in my normal size this wouldn't be a concern. However, if you are very shallow and the cups are too large for you, I think the seams will be visible as they are rather rigid and do stick out.

    Due to the wrong size, I can't comment on other aspects of the fit other than that I think it would fit me well in my correct size. The wires are a bit tall and have a U shaped curve. As mentioned above, they are rather firm, so this may be an issue for some. The powermesh band seems pretty TTS, and Curvy Kate 30 bands usually fit me fine, though the too-small cups would make the band feel tighter on me than it really should be.

    I actually really liked the styling of this bra and thought it was cute in person. A little over the top, but not cheap or scratchy as I feared. The cups are overlaid with geometric mesh with a diamond pattern, and there are two verical seams in the front. The upper portion of the cup has a very wide insert lace trim with contrast ribbon. The lace and ribbon are soft and feel nice, though this level of detail might be visible under clothing. It is slightly textured but not nearly as textured as the lace trim on the Princess series. I especially love the little bows on this bra, which are two tone with wider and skinnier ribbons to create a stacked effect. Straps are typical Curvy Kate picot edged satin elastic. Cranberry/Champagne is a nice colorway that doesn't look cheap or chintzy to me.

    I enjoyed this bra and would definitely try it again in my normal size, as it is a little difficult for me to tell right now what breast shapes it would suit when in the incorrect size.

    Vertical, 3 seamed bra, very open on top.

    I have very tall roots nearly all the way to my collar bone and this type of bra works well. I also thought I was quite shallow and wide but I'm not sure about that now as the wires on this bra sits quite far below my breast tissue, suggesting I'm pushing the wires down. Despite this, I think this bra still technically fits better than my old bras, but my next try will be something that's a half cup with more projection in the cups.

    This was ultimate favorite bra until the metal thingies started poking me after 2 and a half years !
    I wore it out.
    It was sooo comfortable and nice too ! The band did get loose fast though...

    Really pretty, band is a bit tight for me and the cup has no immediate depth. Similar shape to the curvy kate smoothie moulded bra!

  6. not like old-classic one, it's little bit projective. from side view I can see the cup has changed. it's little bit pointy, which is almost hardly noticeable. but still you can see the difference. I prefer old one, old one is literally half cup design. but this one it's more like semi plunge-half cup bra.

    This is a pretty but substantial bra. It is too big for me in the band and the top of the cup. The wire wore through the fabric on one side and pokes through. It shows through clothes. The straps don't stay short and they fall off my shoulders. The pants have detachable suspenders which look pretty but if you wear stockings it pulls the pants down!

    Gorgeous bra just a little too big for my soft tissue, full on the bottom, narrow breast.

    I love it I love it I love it and that´s almost everything https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

    So... The cranberry colour is lovely (never actually been a huge fan of red, but I think I´ll have to change my mind), and the shape it gives to me is wonderful, uplifted... This is probably the best style of bra for me.

    The side wings are a little bit high (but I have this problems with all my bras, so I don´t even think of it as a true negative) and it hurts my arms a bit, but not too much. However, if you are not as "tall" as ... me (165cm), it might be a more serious issue for you.

    The light ribbon might be seen through some clothes, but it´s fine under a good fabric. The lace and such stuff do not seem to be prominent under my clothes, so that´s fine. But probably do not wear very thin tops with this bra (unless you want to show how pretty it looks, of course https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />)

    Currently, my breasts seem to be getting smaller (something between 28HH/J), so it´s slightly big on me, but that changes from day to day. I don´t have problem with the slight gaping I am experiencing now.

    It´s one of the most beautiful bras I have ever seen and I really hope Curvy Kate will continue this one in many other lovely colours!
