This is an improvement on the Curvy Kate Emily in the same size. The wires come up higher at the side so I have less breast tissue escaping into my armpit.

I am disappointed that the back hooks are only two high- that's just not enough anchorage for a large bust.

It felt a bit tight the first time I tried it on but after wearing it for a few hours the back band is now quite stretched and I'm using the last column of eyes, so I possibly needed a smaller band in this style. Being so narrow at the back it's stretched out very quickly.

I quite ... like the high coverage but it's closer to a full cup bra than a balconette but that doesn't bother me.

The centre gore does press into my sternum, I think I am better suited to lower centre wires.

The lace isn't too scratchy and it's ok under most tops. I wouldn't call it t-shirt friendly but it's fine for something patterned or printed.

On the plus side, this bra is relatively cheap and easy to find so I'll probably try out another size and order some more.
