Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review: "Incredibly supportive, a great bra for women with big boobs"

If you have big boobs you will appreciate how hard it is to find a bra that feels secure and gives you confidence. This bra is a full cup design, which is considered by experts as the most supportive style for women with large breasts, and provides maximum coverage.

I normally wear a 32FF and I am always on the look out for the best bras for big busts. My go-to bra is usually a full cup style as I find these offer the most support, but they aren't always the most comfortable to wear. I decided to try Curvy Kate's WonderFully bra to see how it compares to my other full cup styles.

Curvy Kate are a lingerie company that cater for women with large cup size boobs and the average bra they sell is a 34G. They have many stockist throughout the UK and across the world, but I chose to order my bra online directly from their own website, which I found easy to navigate with lots of helpful fitting tips. They design a varied range of bra styles, from comfy bralettes to seductive basques, but I was looking for an everyday bra with a high level of support so opted for their WonderFully design because it looked both practical and attractive in this rich purple colour. I wore the bra for four days, with a variety of tops, and considered the design, how comfortable it felt and how confident it made me feel.

Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review - Shape & Cut

This is a traditional full cup bra design. Unlike a t-shirt bra, which has moulded cups, these cups are made from 3 panels that completely encapsulate, lift and centre the breasts. The lower and side panels are lined with a firm mesh and the upper panel is made from a sheer, more stretchy fabric. The under band is curved at the centre which makes it more flexible than other similar designs. The straps are 2.5cm wide and are firm, smooth and easy to adjust. The straps are set closer together and are more central than the best balcony bra, making it a good choice for women with narrow or sloping shoulders.

Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review: Fit

My average bra size is a 32FF but for this review I wore a size 32G, which is the smallest size that this design is available in. The bra fitted well on the cups, with no overspill or gaping but the band felt tighter than usual. I predict that this bra will 'give' slightly over time and the band will stretch and become more comfortable, however you may want to go up a band size if you are between sizes.

Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review: Support

This is one of the most supportive bras I have worn. My boobs felt completely contained, lifted and supported. The majority of the support came from the band which felt firm and slightly tight, but didn't move around or gape at the front. Once adjusted to the perfect length the straps stayed in place and didn't slip down. The back panels are firm and wide enough to smooth any lumps and bumps. I wore this bra on a long walk at a fast pace and my boobs felt as supported as when I am wearing my sports bra.

Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review: Comfort

This bra is supportive because it fits firmly around the band, and you can feel the band around your ribcage at all times. The first time I wore the bra it began to feel uncomfortable after approx 5 hours and when I took it off my skin was slightly marked and red. The second day of wearing felt more comfortable as the bra stretched and moulded to my shape. The underwires are encased in a soft fabric and they didn't poke or dig in. Overall this bra felt comfortable to wear for a full day, but I looked forward to switching to one of my best sleep bras when relaxing on the sofa in the evening.

With smooth clean lines and no fussy details this bra looks modern and sporty. The rich purple colour is a great option under bright or dark coloured tops.

Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review: Care

This bra is made from a mix of Polyester, Elastane and Polyamide. The label stipulates 'hand wash only' and I washed it with a gentle lingerie liquid soap. After one wash the bra remained in perfect condition, I will update this review accordingly after washing it multiple times.

Curvy Kate WonderFully Full Cup Side Support Bra Review: Verdict

This bra provides maximum support and a great foundation for all types of clothing. You will feel confident and contained. After wearing for several hours this bra can feel restrictive and you may want to go for a bigger band size if you are between sizes.
