Believable "enhancement" for 36A
Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2013
Having very small breasts ofien makes it difficult to properly fill out shirts.I have bought a number of bras that do absolutely nothing to help out in this area, except to suddenly look 2x larger as if I had breast augmentatuin overnight~which is definately not the look I'm going for. When I rec'd this bra I was a bit surprised that the tag for this model of bras indicated the Coverage Level as a 3, that combined with the padding inside the cup of the bra made me think that there is no way this will work for me since it won't look natural enough for my taste. When I tried it on and put a t shirt on over it I soon found that I was pleasantly surprised by the believable change that I saw with the natural way my shirts looked. If you have smaller sized breasts (A cup) and you are the fence and not sure if this bra will work for you, I say give it a try since for smaller breasts the memory foam layering is ideal.
Supportive

Ordered the 32DD...very slight push up. The band is a little bit tight so I probably should've gotten a 34DD. I wear a 32DD in Victoria's Secret bras so these run a little small compared to those. Overall very supportive and the cup size is perfect!
Inconsistent sizing between store item and online item received
Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2013
I tried the bra on in store to ensure the correct sizing and the 32 band fit snugly on the last hook, as it should. However, the online item that I received had a 32 band that was too loose and only fit when secured on the tightest, first hook. This means that when the elastic slackens on normal wear, the band would be too loose and the bra would fit improperly. Unfortunately for this reason, my order needs to go back. I am disappointed because otherwise the fit is flattering and the print is pretty. The item that I tried on in store was a different colour from the item I ordered online so perhaps therein lies the inconsistency? Anyway, this is just my personal experience with this item. I still give it four stars because it's a great bra.
Soft and comfortable, but band will stretch quickly

I love Calvin Klein bras - they're soft and comfortable for someone who can't stand lace or rough straps digging into their skin. The band on this one runs a little large and stretches out quickly - it's only been a couple of days and already I have to wear it on the smallest hook.For reference, I have full on the bottom, widely set shallow breasts, and this bra does a good job of lifting everything up enough to fill out the cups but doesn't have a dramatic push-up effect (no bra is ever really going to give me cleavage though). For someone with more projected or full on top breasts, the cups might be too small (will probably get quad boob).
Not for all around full chest

I think if you are full on the bottom and not the top, this may work. I am full all around and it was cutting the top half of my chest off. It was way beyond just double boob going on. The cut is not right for a full chest. I had to send back. I gave it 3 stars because the fabric is of great quality. I wish it fit my shape.
True to size (order cup-size up to adjust for padding) but otherwise good support for larger chests and affordable, too!

I originally gave this 4 stars but, after much searching for a 30DD, this is really the best option out there. My measurements: band: 29 (28.5 pulled tight) bust: 34, maybe slightly more sitting height: 5'2 weight: 105. Basically, I'm pretty exactly in between a 30D and 30DD. I tried some 30D's in several brands (including this one) and it was so tight that when I took the bra off, my breasts had lines on them from where the cup had been sitting; an obvious sign that the cups were too small (plus pretty noticeable breast pain, often causing me to take the bra off). In fact, several people have said similar things about cups cutting across the tops of their breasts and giving them "quadraboobs." Previously, I didn't realize what this meant, but now that I've tried this bra in 30D (what I thought my size was) I totally get it, since it happened to me, too. So I tried a 30DD in this bra and it fits like a dream. It's definitely on the heavier padded side, but it's NOT comparable to a VS add-two-cup-sizes, which somebody else said. I have a 32D in one of those and there's no comparison that I know of to that level of padding. This is a lot, but still believable (these bras are made so that there's actually less padding the larger your cup size, though, so because I'm ordering a DD, that's a lot less padding than someone who ordered an A; so keep that in mind).The band definitely runs true to size; I'm supposed to be a 30, and I am; I can slip a hand under my band and turn it perpendicularly to my back relatively easily, which is how bands are supposed to fit. The cups *may* be a bit on the small size, or it might be the result of padding, but, honestly, no other 30DD I've tried has been comparable to CK; they've all been much, much smaller and much less supportive. As someone who came to CK and shopped around because ill-fitting bras physically hurt me, I'm pretty pleased with CK; it's not the prettiest or the softest out there, but it's good support and relatively cheap (and not overly padded, compared to a VS bra) and that's more important to me.
A little smaller

The bra was a little smaller than other bras that are 32 DDD. I have had other Calvin Klein bras that fit perfectly but im not sure what happen with this one the cups were a odd shape they wouldn't lay right
Comfortable but small
Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2015
I ordered this bra because my 30DD size is very hard to find however it was too small. Band fit great, a little tight but the fabric seems like it will stretch a little with wear. However the cups were very small, I was spilling out the top so I would recommend ordering up a cup size.
