Better than push up
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2017
I've worn this style for a couple years, my favorite. It doesn't have thick push-up padding (which I can't stand) but does have small shapers near the underwire. Really comfortable and nice looking.The one I just got from Amazon does have slightly thinner straps and lacks the mesh inside the band that my first bra in this style had a couple years ago, but I still like it well enough to give 5 stars.
Odd underwire shape, may dig into chest

It looked perfect in theory, but there were some issues for me when I tried it on. I'm very confident about my correct size (30D/32C or the vicinity thereof), and the cups fit perfectly without gapping, but the underwire had a tendency to scratch and cut into me at the top of the gore and the band wanted to flip outwards under the cups instead of lying flat. The wires were also on the stiff side and are not very thickly wrapped at the tips, so if they don't fit you perfectly, it may be very uncomfortable. Usually I have great results with plunge-type bras since it makes it less likely that the underwires will press on close-set breasts, but even though the wires on this bra were shallow, it seems that they were simply set in such a way that they tilted inwards at the top. I wanted to keep this because the cups were so great, but sadly, it just wasn't a fit for me.Also, it may be worth noting that the Dune color may not be a good nude depending on your skin color. On my warm Asian color, it was too dark and too cool/gray, so it still showed through white blouses. I wish all the bra manufacturers out there would make a wider range of skin tones, even if it were at the expense of some of the "fun" colors.Pro:-Cups fit smoothly without gapping, accommodates uneven sized breasts well, great shape (YMMV depending on your shape)-Lace trim is attractive without being fussy or scratchy-Push-up insert is integrated into cup - no messing with seams or loose fabric-Fabric and materials are smooth and lightweight-Provides lift without feeling like you've strapped a pillow to your chestCon:-Underwires and band have odd shape and placement that may not be comfortable-Scratchy gore digs in at top, band may not lie flat on body-Underwires are stiff and inflexible (not necessarily a problem when everything about a bra fits absolutely perfectly, but if not...)-Dune color may not work as nude-One-piece cup means no way to change out or remove insertAlthough I personally wouldn't rate this very high, I do think this bra has a lot going for it if you happen to be the right shape and color, and it does seem based on the reviews that a lot of people have no problem with it. As much as I like the designs, I've yet to try on a Calvin Klein bra that fit right on me, but Wacoal and Natori are usually pretty close.
Does not fit like it Used to!! different straps, etc.!!

I love this style of Calvin Klein bra & have purchased multiple times from other online retail and department stores - this purchase does NOT FIT ANYTHING LIKE those!!!! The edge look is the same but straps and fit are entirely different. The ones I've purchased in the past are amazingly comfortable with just the right amount of lift and great shape. This one for me is terrible. Very disappointed. I have just written to Calvin Klein to see if they changed this whole design or if it's just these from Amazon that are different. I'd also say this ran small compared to what I'm used to with these as well and looks awful under my clothes compared to the amazing shape of the 'version' of this I'm used to.
Noting like the original bought in store

I originally bought this bra from Nordstrom and loved it so much I ordered the same size and style on Amazon but this fits nothing like the bra I purchased at Nordstrom. It is supposed to be a DD but it fits like a size B, the straps are thinner and the width around the rib cage is smaller. My breasts are popping out the sides and top. I put on my Nordstrom version and compared it to supposedly the exact same size and style I bought on Amazon and they are a completely different fit and the quality is not nearly as good. I feel like it could be a knock off. Very disappointing. It is going back!
Best Bra Ever!

This is the very best bra I have ever found. I think this is the 5th or 6th one I bought, and it continues to be fantastic. Each of these bras is designed differently based on your size, so please keep that in mind if you are using this review to gauge your size and style.I wear a 36DD. When you move up to the DD from the 36D the straps get wider, which is fantastic! I wish they did this at the D cup level, but they don't. For both the D and DD sizes the "push up" padding is simply a 1/2" wide band between the breast and the underwire, so your breast sits atop this thin band of cushion rather than directly on the wire. This gives you a nice little lift and is so incredibly comfortable! All bras should be made this way! The ballet back and the wider straps keep this from riding up with the back or drooping in the front. If you are looking for lift+comfort+no slip straps at this size, for a reasonable price, I don't think you can do better. I have tried much more expensive brands and this remains my favorite!I do wish Calvin Klein would expand the choices for this style! More colors and more festive options would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Best Bra Out There

I'm a 36 DD and I've yet to find any bra that fits better than this one. I've paid double the price for bras like Third Love and find it is a waste of money. What I like about the Calvin Klein bra is that the straps are wide enough to be comfortable and the cup is full enough to cover everything, but not dig into my arm pits. The bra is well made and lasts a long time without under wirers poking out. Also the straps can be moved up the whole length of the strap which means I can keep moving it up as it gets older and wears out. I know you're supposed to replace bras every 6 months but who has the money for that? I have had these bras for several years and they still work well. Great, mid-priced bra.4/7/19 Update: These nude colored bras are not made like the others. I have white ones that have stayed pretty good for years. However, the nude ones I bought from Amazon, all the wire has come out of the 3 I bought.

Very disappointing purchase. I bought the exact same bra in store and loved it. I thought I would save myself another trip to the store by purchasing more of it online. Unfortunately the quality of bra is not the same as the one I had initially purchased, though the product code is exactly the same. I'm not sure if it's because the packaging of the product was poor -- the bras came in an envelope with little padding and both cups were completely squashed and disfigured -- but the wires dug into me from the first moment I wore it, and I spent the entire day adjusting the bra. This is the worst Amazon purchase I've made in the many years I've ordered using this website.

Purchased the same bra with the same style number a couple of years ago. My older bra fit well and I truly believed believed if I ordered that same bra on Amazon, with the same style number, both would be exactly the same. I was wrong. The straps were thinner and the bra cups have been changed somewhat. The bra still fits okay, but I wished it was identical to the one I purchased previously. Calvin Klein has modified this bra, for what ever reason. Why didn't Calvin Klein also change the style number...

I was a little suspect about this bra as I am a d cup, and this bra is padded. BUT, I was totally amazed that the padding is very soft and not overly done. just a little of it. Also I have never had a bra that fits so perfectly. Honestly, I feel like I have nothin on, with this bra. It hold in place, and lifts my breasts just a little to give a very nice cleavage. I will be buying more of these bras, in all colors, and enjoy each one. This is the best bra I have ever had !!!

This fit me well and has a good amount of padding. The lace at the edges of the cups is really beautiful BUT the seams show very, very clearly through any top.
