As a regular and happy owner of the Soire Confidence and Paradiso bralettes in size Curvy XS, that's what I ordered in the Maasai model in mystic red. It's truly a work of art, with very fine tiny embroidery stitches over 2 layers of very thin transparent mesh in the cups, and a more opaque mesh around the back. But the beauty of this bralette is likely the cause of the fitting challenge: the band is 3 inches longer than the Soire curvy bralette, and the cup is huge, especially the top half. I suspect this is because the mesh supporting the embroidery is much less stretchy than the Soire mesh, which is also double-lined for support and more coverage. Though not a seamstress, I folded over the side seams at the 4 1/2" flexible plastic "bone" that supports the sides of the bralette in order to shorten the band by 2 inches (1" each side). I then folded in the extra mesh in the top half of the cups to make a 2" deep dart. This keeps most of the embroidery intact and provides much more coverage of the "headlights". Ummmm...this took a lot of stitching, but I feel the effort and end result were well worth it for such a beautiful bralette.
