    Didn't fit

    Very short, projected, slightly narrow, close set, even breasts....

    This was an Amazon purchase to help determine my exchange bra for an existing Brastop order. Waiting about a month to return a shipment and the resulting exchange, encouraged me to research the exchange size better than I had the initial order. Thank you, Amazon for your amazing two-day shipment. Wow.

    This was the least expensive CK plunge on Amazon. I found the pattern garish and had no desire to own it. Well....I've changed my mind. This pattern is adorable and the colors harmonious in addition to intense. It causes me to smile. Curvy Kate descibes this pattern using ... my favorite color "fuchsia." There is NO fuchsia in this print. However, you will find deep coral, white, and crimson flowers with plum leaves on a minty green background. It is definitely fun and energetic. The shirring along the bottom of the cup is gorgeous and unexpected. This bra is soft, supportive, colorful and comfortable.

    However, the very low gore is too wide. Predictable. There is .75" of empty wire channel. So, the wire can be moved away to create an "extra low" gore. Even shifting the wires away from the gore, the gore base remains too wide. But, oh how my center tissue loves the "extra low gore"!! It appears the too wide gore may be causing the quadding. Perhaps a simple alteration will remedy this problem, and all my tissue will comfortably fit inside the cup. I'm hoping!

    Despite its 5.8" cup width, it feels too narrow. My tissue is suspended above the wire, and consequently, compressed by what would otherwise be a wide-enough cup. Narrowing the gore may remedy this fit issue, too. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

    This is my second Curvy Kate Swim purchase. I'm so impressed by the comfort that I've ordered two tankinis, another balconette, and another plunge. These are seriously comfortable bikinis and I wear them as "everyday" bras. Considering they are designed with "extra life" lycra and I hand wash, these may remain viable for ten years https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> Giggle.

      cute story! it almost looks like part of the quadding is due to too wide a gore? idk if pinching it would help any - and i guess in a swimsuit, it would show

      I think you may be right, dbmamaz :-) A simple gore alteration may dramatically improve this fit. And, because I bought this to wear as an everyday bra, I will try pinching the gore and hope for the best.

      It's funny because I was just thinking about taking in the gore on my Cabaret to pitch the cups forward for more closeness and room at top. :)

      i was chicken to try it, but my newest Ewa has lacing for the gore. i actually accidentally untied it and now its unpredictable. But the cups seem deeper when I most the gore in. Too deep. Havent tried it since washing - hoping the lining shrank a little

      Giggle. I hope it shrinks and you find the right distance and stability for the gore. That sounds miserable. dbmamaz I narrowed and overlapped the gore of a very comfortable bra. Not kidding, I think two of my breast could fit in the top now. Had it not suddenly become comically large, I would have been angry.
