This post does pretty much what it says on the tin!
We're going to give you a rundown of all Curvy Kate's most popular bra styles and show you how they fit, how much they cover, the kind of shape they give you boobs and what breast type they're best for (if you don't know your boob type find out here)... basically all the info on our bras that you could possibly need to help you make the best choice for you. Woohoo!
So here we have Curvy Kate's most popular styles that all differ in varying ways and you're about to find out how.
So let's get right on into it with it...
Princess is what we'd describe as our standard balcony shape, this is probably why it's so popular as it fits a wide range of breast shapes but it's also super pretty.
Key benefits to Princess are:
- Three part cup - means great uplift and projection.
- Soft cup - thin polka dot mesh means minimal bulk but with maximum support.
- Mid-height Central Gore - where the wires meet in the middle isn't too high or too low meaning this is a mid-coverage bra.
Who this bra would be good for:
- Bottom Heavy boob
- East-West boobs
- Larger cup sizes - This bra is available in our widest range of sizes (28-40 D-K & 42-44 D-G).
- Ladies who want uplift without having cleavage under your chin.
Available in sizes 28-40 D-K, 42-44 D-G.
Luxe is our one and only strapless. We only have one because once you've tried this bad boy you'll never want to wear another - it's so so good. In fact, we ever tested it on trampolines!
Key benefits to Luxe are:
- Strapless - obviously it's strapless which is great, but that's not all - The Luxe comes with detachable straps that can be made into halterneck, one-strapped, and cross back - the possibilities are endless!
- Neutral colours - due to the practical nature of this product we make it in black, biscotti and ivory - so there's bound to be something for you.
- Four hook and eyes - Yes that's right, this bra is a feat of engineering! Having four hooks means you get more support and a wider band means no lumps or bumps #winning.
Who this bra would be good for:
- Anyone with breasts.
- No seriously though if you have boobs you need this.
- Really.
Available in sizes 28-38 D- J (40 backs coming soon)
The Daily Dream is a great alternative to the t-shirt bra. With the three-part cup (similar to the princess) it gives larger busts that added lift!
Key benefits to Daily Dream are:
- Three part cup - means great uplift and projection.
- Foam Lined - this bra is lined with a thin foam which some would describe as 'padding', however, don't fear this bra, the foam adds structure not bulk.
- Mid-height Central Gore - where the wires meet in the middle isn't too high or too low meaning this is a mid-coverage bra.
- Flat Seams - Although this bra has seams they are designed to sit flat so there are no unsightly lumps under clothes.
Who this bra would be good for:
- Pretty much all Boobs
- Also would be great for women with Asymmetrical boobs as foam-lining can make breasts appear more even.
Available in sizes 28-40 D-K, 42-44 D-G.
Trusty Princess has a new, sexier sister. The Princess Plunge is a similar design to the original Princess but just with a little added cleavage...
Key benefits to Princess Plunge are:
- Three part cup - This bra is made with three part but in a slightly different way to the original but worry not as it still gives great uplift and projection.
- Soft cup - thin polka dot mesh means minimal bulk but with maximum support.
- Low Central Gore - where the wires meet in the middle is lower which mean you can pull out your 'boobiest' top girlfriend!
Who this bra would be good for:
- East-West Boobs
- Wide Set Boobs
- Bottom Heavy Boobs
- Anyone wanting to show of the girls :)
Available in sizes 28-40 D-J
The Ellace Balcony is a life-saver. If you haven't read our blog on 'Period Boobs' then you need to. It's the perfect balcony that mould to your boobs, making it an amazing fit.
Key benefits to Ellace Balcony are:
- Three part cup - means great uplift and projection.
- Soft cup - thin mesh means minimal bulk but with maximum support.
- Stretch-top cup - the top of the cup is made from a stretchy lace which allows the bra to mould to your breast size/shape.
- Mid-height Central Gore - where the wires meet in the middle isn't too high or too low meaning this is a mid-coverage bra.
- Firm Band - A firm elastic under-band means amazing support.
Who this bra would be good for:
- A wide variety of boobs
- Especially Asymmetrical boobs.
- Or women who fluctuate throughout the month
Available in sizes 28-40 D-K, 42-44 D-G.
The bra will be a game changer! New to the Curvy Kate gang, Smoothie Soul is a moulded (super smooth) plunge bra that gives a rounded shape with mega cleavage. (It can also be known as a Spacer bra or T-shirt Bra).
Key benefits to Smoothie Soul Plunge are:
- Moulded Cup - This means there are zero seams so a super smoothie and rounded shape with light padding.
- Low Central Gore - where the wires meet in the middle is lower which means you can wear those low necklines.
- Latte colour - Keeping in neutral so it can be worn under everything.
Who this bra would be good for:
- East-West Boobs

- Bottom Heavy Boobs
- Asymmetrical Boobs

Available in sizes 28-30 D-J, 32 D-HH, 34 D-H, 36 D-GG, 38D-G
Unleash is part of Curvy Kate's Scantilly collections which has more of a 'Boudoir' feel. It's classed as a half cup which sounds scary and as though your boobs might pop out but that's not the case. You're fully covered...just teetering on the edge 😏
Key benefits to Unleash Half-Cup are:
- Half Cup - This means the neck edge of the bra is lower down showing off more of your boobs.
- Higher Central Gore - where the wires meet in the middle is higher, giving the overall bra a more horizontal neckline.
- Faux Leather - A sexy design that may make this bra more 'bedroom' than every day.
Who this bra would be good for:
- East-West Boobs
- Wide Set Boobs
- Bottom Heavy Boobs
- Anyone wanting to show off the girls :)
Available in sizes 30-38 DD-HH.
Victory - Full Balcony
The bra isn't actually available yet but will be in July 2017, however, we thought we'd include it as it's going to be a real show-stopper and something we think Curvy Kate will become renowned for. Victory is a fuller cup balcony that has been tested within an inch of its life to make sure that the fit is perfect.
Key benefits to Victory Full Cup Balcony are:
- Four Part Cup - This style has an extra section in the pattern which helps to draw your boobs inwards and forwards for a more streamlined and projected look.
- Fuller Cup - This bra has more coverage than any other Curvy Kate bra but is guaranteed to give you a great shape and uplift.
- Mesh Panels and cutouts - keep this fitting bra fashion-forward and classic.
Who this bra would be good for:
- All the boobs.
Available (from July) in sizes 28-40 D-K, 42-44 D-G.
