Bra question - Curvy Kate sizing

6 replies

lurkingaround · 12/07/2013 20:33

Curvy Kate are on sale in Brandalley. I take 30F (almost always) in Fantasie. Does anyone know what Curvy Kate sizing is like? Would I be crazy to buy off t'interweb having never tried on a Curvy Kate before?
They are soo bargainous and have my size!

Any advice? TIA.

Brand alley are fine for returns (used them numerous times)

Now, as a rule curvy kate run big in the back and small in the cup especially compared to fantasie. Which specific bras are you looking at - I'm sure one of us will have tried them! What is your underbust measurement too (just to help suggest whether to stick with a 30 in ck or not)

lurking I saw the ones you mean on Brandalley. I have tried one of those styles from Brastop.

Statistically is right- they are small in the cup. And the lacey material at the front is too flimsy. Doesn't feel secure. I felt like it was dragging my boob down. On sale for a reason.. Sad

Thank you both. These are what I was looking at:
No. 1
No. 2, tho this doesn't look terribly supportive on the model.
No. 3
I would probably have to go down to a 28, 30 is plenty big in a Fantasie. I measure 30 with a tape under bust. Tbh, I'll probably not buy, I find it hard enough to find styles to suit my saggy no-longer-as-firm-as-they-once-were boobs. I hate returns. Worth a buy for anyone who does wear Curvy Kate. Thanks both.

I would say to try a 28 in CK then (if you order from elsewhere at any point)

I've tried the emily and didn't like it but have seen ok reviews of the other two.

Good call. Postage and returns are not free either on Brandalley, which I find a rip off...
