My acquisition of this bra was definitely the result of some advanced bra finagling!

The first thing to know about the Curvy Kate Daily Dream is that it doesn't work well on full on top shapes. I tried this bra in a 30G initially, and my boobs were /spilling/ out the top. This has to do with shape and with size, I believe, as I would say that the Daily Dream runs a bit small in the cup. I really liked the bra, though, so I had to make the decision of whether I wanted to try a 30GG or 30H next, and my intuition said 30H, so that's what I tried.

I'll be honest: volume wise, the 30H is a bit too big for me. But, with it being just a bit too big for me and with my incompatible shape, I made it work. So, yes I have a bit of quadding in this bra, and yes I don't quite fill up the bottom of the cups or the sides of the cups for more than just shape reasons, I think, but the bra still fits me well enough that I'm going to keep it!

Anyway, aside from my trying to fit a round boob into a slightly differently round bra issues, I really like this bra! The material is super comfortable from the cups to the band to the straps. The bra is pretty nicely round; though, personally, I might like it to be a bit rounder.

Something about the band length does feel a bit odd to me. I stretched it to 29 inches, but it still feels a little loose on me. It's not loose enough to warrant me moving on to the middle hook, though. I also think the band on this bra is kind of tall, but keep in mind that I'm 5'2 with a short torso for my height. The wires at the sides don't bother me, though.

  Thanks for your review! I had the opposite problem of not filling out the top but being snug in the bottom of the cup. Apparently they made this bra for perfect center fullness!

• Va va voom! That looks lovely! I can't even tell it required finagling!

  I'm all about the finagling, it's the only way anything molded or padded is ever gonna fit me to be honest--there is no way for me to fill the bottom or sides perfectly in most cases.

  About this one--and don't laugh as I suggest even MORE finagling--I often have that strange sensation with the band when the straps are bearing more weight than they should. I wonder if you loosened the straps a good bit, and then lowered the band at the back to a horizontal position and tightened it by one row, if that might help with (a) feeling more secure wrt band support and (b) easing more of the boob mass into the cups. Then if straps feel TOO loose after all that even once you get the band lower and tighter, refinagle if needed by tightening them back up just a tiny tiny bit. I sometimes have to go through this process a few times to get everything finagled exactly right!

  wendybien Gave what you said a try! I do sometimes tend to suffer from loosening-straps-a-phobia because of how short I am (I have exactly one bra that's straps don't adjust all the way, and I struggle with it every time I wear it). I also loved your usage of finagling, haha!

  My bigger boob is still not entirely thrilled by the top of its cup (and neither is my smaller side if I move my arm like how I do for side shot pictures), but my breasts do look more contained. The only odd thing is that there's a lot more space at the bottom of the cups and the gore is pulling away a tiny bit more. Oh, the joys of having very soft tissue breasts that seem to flow wherever they'd like. Thanks for the advice!

  You're welcome bustyand ! I am smaller now thanks to age, babies and life stress (white hair, less boob volume, and wisdom, woohoo...) but for a good portion of my 30s was roughly the same size as you also with a very short torso. My advice with straps on a molded/contour/padded bra is absolutely look for every way to minimize the pull on them, even if it means a TON of fiddling and finagling back and forth to get each bra just right. The difference in fit and comfort is really significant especially if you wear the same bra often. Being projected in shape also makes a big difference-- I have noticed that if I go to a store with fittings, almost all the assistants, even the ones who fit you very competently, tend to overtighten straps on me because they don't expect me to need that little bit more ease, but I do, even now at a much-smaller boob size.
