Today’s Guest Post is by fellow bra-enthusiast Danielle. She notes that “Becoming a finalist in the 2012 Curvy Kate USA competition led me to have a passion for well-fitting bras. Finding a bra that fit helped me gain self-confidence and every woman and girl should be fitted to help their confidence grow as well.”

The Curvy Kate Luxe Strapless is available in sizes 28-30 D-J, 32D-HH, 34D-H, 36D-GG, and 38D-G. I won this bra in the Biscotti colorway back in August for the “My Ultimate Uplift” contest and chose my usual size of 30G.

The Look:

Curvy Kate definitely tried (and succeeded) in upgrading this bra from a blah and boring strapless (with adjustable and detachable straps, not shown) by adding cute details, such as a bow and little satine buttons on the gore. Pinstripe fabric used on the non-cup portion is a nice touch, too, which can’t really be seen through shirts. The cup fabric and the band fabric are noticeably different, which makes this less of a showy/flashy bra and more of a practical bra.
