Curvy Kate is a lingerie brand specialising in D – K cup Bras and Swimwear. They are currently based in Harrow.[1] Curvy Kate lingerie is designed for the curvy woman and for small back sizes through to plus size bras with back bands from a 28" – 44".[2] They officially launched in July 2009 at the Harrogate Lingerie Show.[3]

Curvy Kate do not use professional models. They instead run an annual modelling competition called Star in a Bra to look for customer-role models with a D+ cup size. Their stance for using real sized models and ethnic models has been warmly received by the lingerie industry.[4][5][6] Since 2008 the winners have been: Emma Tabor (2008) [7] Lauren Colfer (2009)[8] Laura Ann Smith (2010)[9](subscription required) Lizzie Haines (2011)[10] Sophie Morgan (2012)[11] Lotte Williams (2013) and Sophia Adams (2015)[12]

In November 2015, Curvy Kate announced the launch of their new brand Scantilly in DD – HH cup sizes.[13]
