Curvy Kate USA Photo Shoot: Before & After
Written by Cheryl on Jun 14, 2012
Whilst we all love a good pampering and having our hair and make up done, the most important part of the Star in a Bra ‘makeovers’ is without a doubt the professional bra fitting. Whilst the girl’s submission photos all look incredible and got them picked for the top 30, as mentioned in our last post, some of them were indeed wearing the wrong bra size.
In a culture where a bra is seen as a fashion garment instead of a tool to support and hold you in place, it is so important to remember exactly what a bra is supposed to do and look like. We don’t see why the two should be mutually exclusive, and aim to seamlessly intertwine fit and fashion into our ranges. We want our fans to be fit aware, and believe the best place to start is by showing them – through our models – how a bra should look.
So which of our curvy champions was wearing the right size bra? Take a look at our before and afters… we’re sure you’ll see a difference!
Danielle White
Rhiannon Mariani
Katie Simpson
Brittany Jencks
Krista Cousins
Chandler Jade
Cristyen Fowler
Tiffany Schmidt
Michaela Duerson
Jackie Flores
We may be a little off the widely-reported statistic that 85% of women are wearing the wrong size bra, but with 70% of these lovelies now in their ‘correct’ size, let this be a warning to those of you who are still yet to get fitted by a reputable fitter! Just look how a perfect fit can change the way your boobs look, and trust me that’s not anything on how much better it feels!
Here they are with their new sizes and new photos! Have you seen our top 10 finalists yet? Who gets your vote?

What is the name of the set that Cristyen Fowler is wearing in the ‘after’? I really like that one!

Every one of these ladies is so beautiful, it’s difficult to decide who to vote for! It’s inspiring to see women with different body types all present themselves with such confidence.
It’s wondrous that 70% of them were wearing the wrong size. Also, the fact that they found Curvy Kate and Star In A Bra made them more likely to know about the existence of DD+ and sub-32 bands, than most US women. I’d still say that 85% of American ladies, if not more, are wearing the wrong bra size.
Best of luck to all the contestants!

Hey love this post as think it illustrates so much about how a bra should fit and how can go from the wrong to the right size.

Isn’t it inaccurate to write that Brittany was a 28H with the picture of her in Ewa Michalak, when in fact she has had those made in 24 and 26 bands?

Having retired from the modeling industry I am impressed by the Curvy Kate consept, one of my friends introduced me to the vote and I am excited about the girls, they are all beautiful and having an opportunity to help the next generation of young women coming up is a big responsibility. My vote is to that end, a girl that will be able to relate to a younger demagraphic and be excepted by them, giving a strong leadership as well as “fill that bra” so to speak. Good luck to all involved !

Cristyen, yes, it is lovely!! I must find it. You look great!

Hi Marie, thanks for getting in touch. Brittany entered as 28H so that’s what we have her down as her ‘before’ size. x
