Love the Curvy Kate Showgirl range and love the Thrill Me bra.
However, this bra is designed to push you in and up and therefore I imagine most people (especially with bottom heavy breasts will need to go up a cup size or even two to get an adequate fit. Those with top heavy breasts may find that the rather open top of the cups is fine for their regular size. The bra itself has no padding but is lined with a three part cup that goes from shallow to open on top.

When in the right cup size this bra feels super comfortable. My ... breasts do not feel squashed or restricted. The band is very generous whilst still firm enough to stay in place for my current 26 inch under bust. Likewise the straps are supportive yet soft and stretchy so I don't get any strain.

In terms of the look.
Whilst the straps are super comfortable they are too thick to be worn under dainty clothing and singlets (which is exactly what you would want to wear this bra under). Lets face it, this is not an everyday support bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

The lace and the frills at the top of cups look great without clothing. In fact they look rather burlesque. However, they prove to be a nightmare under clothing. Not only do they show through but they also create bumps and lumps and can also stick out funny giving you a square kinda odd look under clothes.

All in all I feel very comfortable when wearing this bra for special occasions.

Another bra I love. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Super cute & very comfortable!
This is my first Curvy Kate bra. I read another bra which suggested to order a band size down and I'm glad I did. I have this bra on the loosest band but it's still a comfortable fit and gives room for the bra to stretch over time.
Since I ordered down a band size I also ordered up 2 cup sizes (following the down a band size, up a cup size rule of thumb) as another review had suggested that the Curvy Kate cup sizes run small. Another suggestion I'm glad I took! Fits just right.
Not a bra for everyday t-shirt use but definitely special.

This bra shallow at the bottom, which doesn't really work for my boobs - it slips down a bit and folds over on itself. The wires are also too wide for me. But it's still a really comfy bra and gives a really round shape.

This bra is not owned any more

I really love this bra. It isn't my ideal fit, but I wear it all the time even though I have to adjust myself a few times throughout the day. The band is SUPER stretchy, I definitely recommend sizing down in the back if you can. These cups are smaller than your average ones, so I get some major quadra-boob here, but it's mostly masked by the ruffles (I see what you did there Curvy Kate!).
The lining of the cups is super duper soft. I wish everything I owned was made of this ... stuff. The straps are also stretchy and soft, if you often have to tighten your straps a lot, this might be a problem for you.
While the Thrill Me is marketed as a "bedroom" bra, it is comfortable enough that I reach for it when I have an 8 am class. I find that wearing a stretchy cami over it eliminates any bumps created by the seams, ruffles, and most of the quadra-boob. However, it does have a tall shape that I personally think looks weird unless I have a v-neck on. The cleavage, however, is very tavern wench-y, and one of my favourite parts of this bra.
I went for my regular size here, but if I were to buy the Thrill Me again, I would go for a 28H/HH. I recommend this bra, just size yourself accordingly!

Bought 28GG, 28H, and 30GG for comparison. (I'm normally a 30G or maybe 28GG.)

According to my results on Bratabase (pre-order) 28GG would be too small in the band and cups, 28H would be too small in the band but fit in the cups, and 30GG did not fit the owners, so no recommendation. (I also said 30FF would be too small in the band, but fit in the cups.

Update: The 28H fit me best. See my review for that size: http://bra.pe/RnT/. In the 28GG, the cup was not big enough, so I had some breast tissue escaping under the armpit.
