Curvy Kate Daily Boost Balconette Bra ck1801 Reviews

This bra fits great and is very comfortable. I don't really like the way it shapes my breasts to look like they point down a bit, but it's worth it for a comfortable bra. Anna from CA

I like this bra, when i got it i thought it would be too bulky when on because it appears padded almost, but its more molded I'd say. I find it hard to find bras that don't cover your boob up to your neck in my size! So this is a nice change, allows you to wear lower cut shirts/dresses, and very supportive. Sara from Boston,MA

Very comfy, supportive, everyday bra. The gore fits nicely and the wires aren't too tall under the arms despite my height. I prefer a molded or slightly padded bra for extra support and shaping-- this is one of the very rare ones out there in my cup size! Dee from TX

The only reason this does not have a five star rating from me is the pesky white trim. I understand that it is a "fashion" bra, but that white trim keeps me from wearing the bra as frequently as I would like. It would be amazing to have a bra like this in a plain beige that I could wear under white tops without being self-conscious about the trim showing through. Otherwise, the fit is great and the bra makes me feel good! Carol from Burlington, NC USA

I would happily give this bra 5 stars if not for the alternately colored piping! It's comfortable and a good fit. I expected the band to be tight, based on general chatter about this brand, but I found it to be comfortably stretchy. Enough so that I might have gone down in band size (I like 'em snug & secure!). However, the cup works well & I expect to gain a few pounds in the next few months (preggo), so the bit of extra room will probably be needed. Otherwise, I might have gone down in band but stayed in the HH cup. The cups are soft & comfortable and perfect for tee-shirts except that the piping is clearly visible under most of my soft cotton Tees. If I've got a blouse or shirt with a design on it, it's not quite as obvious, but the piping being a different color definitely makes a difference under shirts. If CV could just change that, this would be my #1 everyday bra. RP from North Carolina

Good fit. Cup size was spot on. Nice and supportive for my big girls. The band is a little loose, so I may have to take it in a bit. Didn't feel the need to send it back just for that. Only wish is that the straps were a bit closer in. But I have small shoulders, so again I put up with it. Carrie from Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I LOVE THIS BRA!!! The only complaint I have is that it's a bit itchy in the back. Easily fixed though, just snip off the tags. Kristen from Bethel, CT

I run between 40JJ and 40K and ordered the K because of the comment about it being smaller running on the cup size. It was way to generous in the cup and will have to return it. Otherwise it seemed like a decent product. Keni from Washington

I wear 34ddd and the cups on the 34e just barely contained the girls, so I'm ordering up a size. Band is true to size. I love the high and round shape it gives you, kind of like a balconette style but the cups have just enough coverage so you don't spill out. There are seams on it that give it a lot of sturdiness but not perfect for certain tops. Also the trim along the top edge is thick and wouldn't make it good for a smooth look.

Curvy Kate Response: Thank you for the positive comments about Daily Boost! Daily Boost is a great everyday bra, and we have done many wear tests to ensure it looks as seamless as possible and at the same time offering great support up to a K cup…. however if you do find that you are looking for something even smoother, we would suggest you try our new Smoothie Balconette Bra style#CK2401. This has a completely seamless cup and has a very flattering sweetheart neckline shape. Lindsay

Cup is a little generous but an H cup would have been a little snug, I will keep the bra because it will work. The contrasting piping is annoying because it shows through my shirts, a workable bra but not great. Cecilia from maryland

I love this bra. i have a little waist with large breasts and my main concern has always been keeping them in place this bra does this!!! I would go with the recomendation of a little bigger cup size though as your boobs will pop a little at the top! keeps them in place and awesome straps long enough to make it as tight as you want with some room for down the road to do so as well. kate from belleville, il

Sturdy, with a snug band and lots of lift. Please, please consider carrying more 28s? Submitted from TheUndies.com

I like this bra a lot, but I found the cups run a little small. I ordered a 36GG, based on the Universal Cup Size recommendation. My breasts bulge over the tops of the cups slightly and jiggle quite a bit on the top when I walk. The UCS worked with the four other bras I've ordered recently, so it's not an issue of me ordering the wrong size. Amie from Topeka, KS USA

After returning two other sizes - I am very picky about bras - this one is great! It gives great lift and cups mold up to leave a very nice upper breast. The band definitely loosens a bit after one wear, but nothing drastic. The straps are not too wide nor too thin. The trim is white on the nude bra, which may seem counter-intuitive to making it completely invisible under certain tops. Overall I am very happy about this purchase. Nicole from Honolulu, HI

This is a comfortable bra but please order up a cup size or you get ay e boob effect. The other reviews are right about this. Also try Fantasie of England's molded balcony bra. I'm not sure which I prefer. I have big boob but not monster boobs and am always looking for good lifting bras. They take years off your age. Kathie from Jackson, WY

I received this bra in the mail and it was not as cute as I had hoped. It was too small and made me look like I had a cone bra on. Not a good fit or shape at all.

Curvy Kate Response: I am sorry to hear that you were not pleased about the Daily Boost, especially the fit. I would encourage you to ensure that you are the correct size, it makes a difference in the shape, look and support when one is in the correct size. As for "cute", Daily Boost is our most essential style and thus not high on the "fashion meter"..... perhaps you could take a peek at some of our other collections, like the Entice or Tease me styles for something fun and flirty!

This is an extremely comfortable bra. I have a classic hourglass figure and the band is super comfortable. Be forewarned though that this bra does s run at least a cup size small. I have big boobs but not monster boobs. The DD made me appear as if I had double boobs. Go up at least a cup size and you'll be fine. I will definitely buy again. Kathie Lou from Jackson, WY

High quality product but with ultra-balconette style and fit which is just not nearly enough coverage for a person of my size. This company (and others) would do well to offer a full coverage style in their larger cup sizes.

A 3-part cup underwire bra is really the only bra style that does the trick for my small rib cage, larger heavy breast body type. This is the best I've found so far with a cup smooth enough that it doesn't show under t-shirts yet still has maximum support and shaping. All other 3-part cups I've tried cannot be worn under t-shirts. Curvy me

I'm going to have to re-review this one after I get the next cup size up. (I can't remember, but I might have gone down a band size, too.) I am a 36ddd+ US/36e+ UK but that didn't work in this bra. It was cute & practical enough to exchange, though. I specifically prefer a balconette style with a smooth lined/contoured/molded cup for headlight coverage & no show under clingy shirts.

The straps on this bra are extremely far apart and ride very wide on the shoulders. Because of this, it is difficult to find tank tops and straps on dresses that cover the bra straps and side bra that shows. The cups fit nicely but are not full cups, so expect occasional overflow on the top of the bra if you are slightly larger than an FF but not big enough for the next cup size up.

Curvy Kate Response: Thank you.....I always appreciate feedback! I haven't had anyone comment about the Daily Boost with regards to the strap but I will forward the info to the UK. I would recommend perhaps going up a size in the moulded styles such as Daily Boost. llittle
