Didn't fit

Fit: I can’t tell why this didn’t work for me. For some reason I had sadboob™, where the shape of the bra made my breasts point downward, almost as if they were lifted but their full on top shape was left to do its thing, that is, to point down. There was some projection, but in general they were held close to the chest in an East West fashion, shallow and wide. Looking from the top I enjoyed the view, but from the side the top of my breast was exposed, the apex was pointing down, and then the bra came in at a rather horizontal angle forming a downward pointing triangle with a slight curve on top. Generally speaking, the bra was much shallower and wider than the other unlined Curvy Kates I have tried, but very low as well, unlike the Curvy Kate Daily Dream Balcony Bra (CK4501) and friends. The Dreamcatcher was wider at the top of the gore, but in all other respects it was exactly like the Curvy Kate Portia Balcony Bra (CK4001). At the same time, at the bottom of the gore it was quite splayed, unlike other unlined Curvy Kates. The wire seemed medium flexible to me. It was quite low set, with lots of décolleté exposed and open on top. There was no quadding on this bra, and generally I felt the fit was similar except for the gore width at top.

Comfort: I couldn’t really bear the Dreamcatcher’s fabric against my skin. The band seemed quite true to size. It could have been my imagination but I felt the Dreamcatcher’s band was the most uncomfortable. This could have been a general discomfort for the whole bra however.

Look: See fit. It doesn't matter how pretty it is, the shape is so bad.

Melon/Apple colorway
