Can anyone tell me how the sizes of Curvy Kate bras are?

Just that really! There is a sale on Brand Alley of Curvy Kate underwear and I was thinking of ordering a couple of bras, but they don't accept returns, and I've never had one of that make before.

I have measured myself but may come back to get an interventionists view on my size if I am going to order.

I've found the cups to be a little on the small side, back is usually fine. So I'm usually 32j, and order 32k.

But I also find I'm quite bouncy in a curvy Kate bra, they aren't as sturdy as most (which may be what you prefer, but I was quite conscious of it)

I probably wouldn't buy from a no returns site, when you can get bargains that can be returned from brastop.com !

Which bra(s) is it? The Showgirl range (Thrill Me, Tempt Me, Tease Me etc.) run small in the cup and large in the band.

I find the cups quite shallow and the unpadded bras don't give as good a forward, uplifted shape as the Cleo range.

A bleeding nightmare, that's what they are Grin

I like Curvy Kate and have 10 or so, but they are not my favourite bras. Tbh if they are not returnable I wouldn't bother, uness they are silly cheap.

I am true to size in the showgirl range, though this is unusual I think, most people seem to need to go up 2 cups and down a band, ie a true cup increase not a sister size.

The unpadded are just hard work, pretty much all run small in the cup and you may need to go up 1or 2 cups to get a good shape depending on the style, though they are more true in the band.

Good blog on CK range and sizing here.

The Elegance is a very nice plunge bra which runs true to size.

Hmm, I think you are right, would be better getting from somewhere I can send back. My bosoms deffo need sturdy! They are all about £12.50 so worth a look if you know and like them.
