I'm pretty familiar with Curvy Kate's sizing, so I found that it fit as expected. The shape is high and round, and it projects the breasts forward, instead of sideways. There are 3 hooks in the back in my size (30J), and the straps are fully adjustable. The bra is more of a balconnet than a full cover, which I find works well for me. I have narrow shoulders and a small ribcage, and the center gore sits flat. I am not spilling out of the bra in any direction, and I don't need to adjust myself during the day.

Sizing runs typical of Curvy Kate bras, by which I mean tight/firm in the band and small in the cup. The cups are shallow and the underwire is short, so you'll want to take that into account when ordering. For reference, the underwire and cup depth for the 30J I got is the same as in the 30H in the Panache Underwired Sports Bra that I have. I knew it would run this way, so the size I got fits well; you will want to go 1-2 sizes up in the cup.

The band is very firm/tight, which I also expected. I'm using it with an extender currently, since I only need a tiny amount of extra space. It will NOT loosen much over time, so don't plan on that. If you prefer a looser band, go up 1 band size and 1 cup size; if you prefer a tighter band, get your regular band size and go up 2 cup sizes.

If you're tall or have a longer torso, you may want to skip this one. The straps are fully adjustable, but they aren't very long - mine are fully loosened, and I'm 5'6" with a short torso.
