I really like this bra. It's very comfortable and fits like the other Curvy Kate bra's that I own. I don't have anything memorable to say about it. I bought this bra from a Zulily sale.

Band is comfortable, the gore tacks very well and it looks so cute, I just wish the cups would fit because I love it.

Very sensual set, one for when you want to dress to impress!

Its extremely comfy and cute. Fits my boobs well, except when I lean down they kinda want to pop out of the top. This bra is pretty low cut so it works with a plunging neckline. I've only worn it once.

I love this bra. It gives me fabulous cleavage and the trim is flat enough that I can wear it underneath most of my shirts and dresses.

This is very pretty but it is completely the wrong shape for me. It is far too shallow at the bottom and the top gapes. The band is also very stretchy but it doesn't ride up. I think this bra would someone with full on top, wide and shallow boobs.

Things I have learned from this bra:
1) I am not as shallow as I thought I was.
2) Cleavage is awesome.
First, the band -- It is quite stretchy. So much so that I think it would be worth sizing down a band size (and almost certainly ordering the smaller band if one is in between). As I wore this bra during a not-too-active day, it wasn't much of a problem. But it definitely would have moved around if I'd worn it on a typical work day.
The cups -- Very definite wide and shallow shape going on. I appreciate that the wires are wide enough for me, ... even though I quad out of the cups. ("Quad" can be a verb now, right?) The material along the inside edge of the cup is soft enough that the quad boob doesn't feel uncomfortable.
I'm not sure if the cup runs a bit small in addition to the shape issue, or if the shape issue accounts for all of my difficulties. I fill out the outside half of the cup just about perfectly -- so if I sized up in the cup, I wouldn't spill over inside, but I would have gapping outside. (So either way, I think shape is *enough* of an issue to make a 34H/32HH not really worth seeking out to try.)

This bra does not match my shape at all, it's much too shallow and the cups wrap around to my back and irritate my armpits. It's a cute bra and looks good on but it's not my shape. The bottom of the cup also wrinkles because it is too shallow. I have listed this bra if you're interested.

I love, love, love this bra. I was sort of torn about whether or not to get it when I first saw it on brastop (not sure that leopard is my thing, but red is my favourite colour), but I saw it in a store locally (not in my size) and thought it looked sooo pretty I wanted one. The colours are so complimentary - the lace is sort of a golden colour.
This bra fits similar to the Curvy Kate Elegance (CK1401) . I think that the band might be looser, or if not looser, maybe stretchier? I can do this one up on the ... second hook, my Elegance fits best on the loosest. The band feels firm there, but not uncomfortable as it stretches. I'm hoping it won't stretch out too quickly.
This bra does a good job of pushing up, and gives a rather perky profile (rounded, but not so much top-to-bottom rounded like a Freya Deco (4234) . It is a plunge bra, but I don't feel like I'm going to fall into the middle at all.
Also this bra is soooo comfortable. Much more comfortable than it looks like it should be. The inside of the cups is made from a soft material, and the cups are 3 part seamed with a thin layer of foam. The lace isn't so visible under most shirts.
I liked it so much I also bought the matching underpants!

I wanted to love this bra. The scarlet is a gorgeous (and often elusive) shade of red that is perfect for my skin tone, I'm still a bit iffy on the leopard part, and the construction on this bra dominates in quality over the other bras using this base (the Elegance and Tempt Me).
Pros:
The construction quality (though possibly a fluke on this one bra) is impeccable--and I'm a seamstress, so I'm pretty picky about that sort of thing.
Very comfortable*
Pushup for those of us who aren't B cups (and I need it cuz my boobs HATE each other)!
Has 3 hooks (in GG+)
Low center gore for us petite and prominent ... sternum types (I'm both).
Note: The center gore on this bra is not only low, but it's really close together (the underwire channeling is actually touching), so if you have close-set boobs, you might really like this one.
Cons:
* Earlier I said it was comfortable, and this is true...to an extent. If you are of the narrow shoulder, narrow chest variety (if I measure from armpit to armpit across my chest I'm just a smidge under 12" wide--that's 30cm for you metric gals) you will HATE this bra. The straps will start under your armpit and will try to twist out of it--it's hard to describe, but you'll know it if you have it. Other than that, the bra is comfortable.
The band isn't as stretchy as others of this base (Tempt Me/Elegance). Don't plan to buy a band a couple of sizes smaller than normal (like you might in other Showgirl bras) or you might get a nasty surprise.
I had some of that "orange in a glass" thing with this bra. I'm not sure what causes that, and didn't really understand it until I bought this round of bras, but all of them using this base and in this size did it. I would have happily ignored it if the straps weren't so darned uncomfortable though.
