First off: it's gorgeous! I have it in the red colorway, and this cool red shade looks really good on my fair skin.
For some odd reason tags on the back were so scratchy that even trying this bra on was a challenge. Band is really stretchy and runs a little big, so I might need to alter it. Fabric and elastics are kind of flimsy.
Cups definitely run big. I used to think Ellace is really projected for the size, and boy, was I wrong! There is a 1 cm difference in the cup depth between these two, the apex on Surrender's placed higher and its cups are in general taller. Thin straps around the cups are laying on the lace because of it. Oh and the top of the gore is itchy because of them.
Sadly, something is always wrong with my CK purchases. I've made my Florence and Ellace work so now I'll have to do that for this bra. Why don't they fit me as is? So disappointing.

I tried this bra in the green color way, and it also ran big - I was usually wearing 32F or 32FF, and the 32F was too large. The boutique did not have a 32E, so I do not know if sizing down even more would have helped. I think I needed a bit more upper fullness as well as a bit more volume all around.
My local bra boutique owner told me she does not carry CK (and only a few Scantilly) because she finds the line does not work well on very many clients. I think many of their bras are quite lovely, but the few I have tried did not work on me.
