Curvy Kate Women's Princess Balcony Bra

I just received the bra today and it fit perfectly. I just found my true bra size UK 34F/US 34G and this was the first bra I bought in the new size. The manufacturer sizes for this bra using the under bust and fullest part of the bust (your true measurements). My measurements are 31inch to 33inch-underbust (depending if I have ate recently) and 41-fullest. My breasts have a minor sag. I used to be between the two sizes 36DD (too small) and 36DDD (too big), but now I finally found a perfectly fitting bra!The bra fits much tighter than I'm used to, but that is normal. It gives the girls nice support and my back is already feeling better because of it. The lace cup is a bit itchy when you first put it on but it becomes softer over time. I've been in the bra for about 4 hours now and it keeps getting more and more comfortable. The shoulder straps are set wider than I am used to but it gets rid of the double boob by the armpit that I get with most bras. The underwire is wide, perfect for collecting all of the wide breast tissue under my armpit and bringing it forward but not uncomfortable. The bra compresses my breast tissue and when I measure with the bra on I am 39 inches around the fullest part, a reduction of 2 inches. Button down shirts fit better while wearing the bra. The cup does make the breasts a bit pointy but nothing severe like torpedo boobs. There is no padding in this bra. Just a second lining on the bottom two parts of the three part cups. The bra does not give me touching cleavage.I was looking for an everyday bra when I bought this, BIG MISTAKE. The bra can be seen through just about every shirt I tried on. It is also very sheer. I have darker nipples and you can see them perfectly (areola and all) through the white bra and some of my lighter colored t-shirts. I was disappointed with the buy and debated returning it, because it wasn't what I was looking for, until my husband saw me in it. He loved it so much he begged for me to keep it and then he took me directly into the bedroom to "try it out". Since my husband loves it, I love it. It's my top pick for when I want a bra for those "special" times. The search is still on for my everyday bra.

This is a seriously comfortable bra. I've not worn an underwire for YEARS, because I have a short torso and any underwire feels like it's stabbing me in the chest under my boobs and trying to pierce through my armpit.I bought this bra, the Dreamcatcher and the Daily Boost bra. This one fits better on my small frame and I don't feel like I'm being strapped into a corset (because underwires are so large), plus I don't feel like I'm going to spill out, which is how balcony bras can feel. I am full on top and my chest is very jiggly like water balloon, but I don't get any of the "flat top" with this bra where my chest is exposed, which is also another problem with balcony bras I've experienced (like the Dreamcatcher bra will do to me). I understand balcony bras are supposed to make your cleavage look great, but when you've got less than firm chest, it's hard to make the girls behave and not get all flat on top.This bra does a fantastic job of lifting and separating without digging into my shoulders. Since my bra size is in constant fluctuation (I gain at least 2 cup sizes right before my period) I bought this one during the "smaller" phase when I'm at 40H and it's seriously comfortable and looks super sexy, which is hard to do when you're my size.I did have to return a bunch of bras to find my actual correct bra size. I thought I was going to be a 4D, but turns out I'm between an H and HH (like whoa!) Also, the sizing here is listed as UK, so just be aware of that when you purchase these; Curvy Kate is a UK brand.

Oh man I didn't even put the bra on but knew I'd love it when I felt it - the straps feel like they're made of that silk inside the shuck of corn. I thought no way something that soft would hold up my huge breasts, as the cup is also very soft/fluid and not formed like foam, but I was wrong. Turns out the cup is too big (I'm used to Panache, first time trying CK at all), and there was a smudge that even dabbing a cold-water paper towel couldn't get fully out (you could tell by the hang tag's watermark that this bra wasn't factory new, but new-to-me as someone before me was pretty careless when trying it on I guess? You'd think the person who ships it would would look at this to be sure you're shipping CLEAN garments, just a tip!), but if this bra was a proper fit and anything other than bright white, I likely would have cut the tags, fully hand washed before wearing, and loved wearing this bra. After the holiday stress dies down I maaaaaay come back and resize and if this bra comes in clean, I think it could easily become my favorite bra, as it's textured, the material feels like luxury, and the style is cute cute cute; I can see why they call it Princess.

I bought a whole bunch of different kinds of bras as I've noticed a lot of problems with my dresses and peeping bras. Many of the bras didn't do any better than the ones I already had, and were very uncomfortable to boot.This bra, that I have in nude, white, black, red, and possibly some other colors, is relatively comfortable (only after a full day wearing it do I feel it), is mostly hidden in the majority of my dresses/shirts (just not for straight-across necklines). It's not scratchy or anything, and it fits really well. I've a 42F and tried ;sister sizes' in a bunch of the bras I tried, and was not impressed with the fit. This bra didn't have that problem, and it's sweet, but also kind of sexy!

This bra is pretty but really uncomfortable so far. It is really difficult to find a 40H that fits at all so I am keeping it. Looking down at my bust line it sort of looks like the bra shapes my breast oddly, but looking in the mirror everything looks great and my shirt fits better, (I think I am just not used to seeing the girls stand up). The wire pokes a little in the middle and under the arms and the fabric is slightly itchy but keep in mind I just got it and am hopeful it will get more comfortable as it is broken in. All in all I applaud Curvy Kate for having a true to size fit in a lovely style and I am excited to try other styles they make.

So happy with this bra! Finally found a bra that fits properly. Recommended big time!!!

Good fit but after a couple of wears the bone came through the material and tried to stab me in the chest which sucks when all you want is a pretty bra that gives you support.

Absolutely shocking after 2days the wire had come through.... rubbish!!!!!!

Size is good. But the metal part came out already. Very disappointed

Bought it as a gift for a friend who has had difficulty finding the right fit for her small frame but large chest. She loves it and says its the first set of bra she has ever won and felt so wonderfully supported and looking good.
