Very excited to have found a true Curvy Kate fit. I took this bra out for a day-long test drive as soon as I got it, and it was comfortable the whole day through.
My only complaints are that the straps are a bit far apart, and the band is a little bit bigger than I could go for (but it's pre-loved, so it's probably been stretched a bit.) The cups are also definitely quite a bit wider than I need- the underwires go quite a bit past where my breast tissue ends, almost to my shoulderblades. However, the wires are very flexible and the sides of the ... cups are shallow so I don't have wrinkling fabric under my arms.
The only negative thing about this is that at the very front, near the gore, the cups are a little shallow so my breasts sometimes quadboob a tiny bit. It's not noticeable under clothes, though, and it's not uncomfortable. The cups might work better with someone whose breasts are placed further apart, though.
This bra definitely gives a rounder, more minimized shape than I'm used to with Freya bras, which have more forward projection. But it's not a bad shape, just different.
One of the ribbons that laces through the top of the cups on the bra I have came loose, so I cut it off; that explains why there's no ribbon across my left boob in the pictures.
