Curvy Kate Women's Daily Dream Padded Bra

I will start by saying that I'm kind of obsessed with well-made, well-fitting bras, and this bra does not disappoint. I've been only buying Curvy Kate bras for the past few years and I couldn't be happier. My previous go-to bra was their Daily Boost bra, but it appears that's either mostly out of stock and/or being discontinued. I bought this bra as a replacement for one of my Daily Boost bras, which -- after years of service -- finally snapped an underwire. I was so sad! I'm very picky about my bras, especially my everyday ones, because they have a long, hard day's work ahead of them. I am a very petite woman (under 5') with a fairly large bust (34-36F), so finding bras is a challenge. Curvy Kate has the perfect combination of comfort, support, and style. In an everyday bra, I expect something very comfortable and easy to move in, full coverage, that's made with thicker fabric or preferably foam cups. I have big boobs and I get cold easily. I don't want my Monday meetings to turn into the build-up to some kind of soft-core scene, full of inappropriate amounts of nipple. I also tend to be picky about the appearance of my bras because I want something cute, damn it. Too many decent bras appear dowdy and unattractive to me, including some of the most popular brands. The Daily Dream Padded Bra is perfect for what I'm looking for in an everyday bra. The "padded" part of the description is truly misleading -- the cups are thin, flexible, breathable foam -- no unnecessary padding or push-up nonsense. It's full coverage while still allowing me to wear low-cut and v-neck tops without showing the bra. The cups fit perfectly and are very supportive. The underwire doesn't dig in or pinch. The band has some nice lace/mesh detailing that's hard to see in the pictures, but it's very cute! There's an attractive little satin bow at the front of the bra, but no bows on the straps, which is something I kind of disliked about the Daily Boost. I dare say that I like this bra even more than the Daily Boost! The most important thing of all... The cups don't dig in under my arms! Being so petite, this is a HUGE problem for me. Many otherwise high-quality, well-fitting bras end up digging in and creating angry red marks in my armpits after a long day, but not this baby. IN SHORT - THIS IS THE PERFECT EVERYDAY BRA! I love it! I just wish it was less expensive, but you get what you pay for. How about a bra sale one day, Amazon? I'd snatch up ten of these if they were a bit cheaper. It's always so disheartening to see the smaller bra sizes cheaper and/or on sale, but not the larger sizes. When a bra ranges in price from $19.99 to $70... I know I'll always end up paying $70. But that's a problem with larger bras in general, not this amazingly perfect garment. Well done again, Curvy Kate. Only you understand me.

This is one of the few truly supporting and sturdy bras for ladies with a large bust! I wear a 34 J, so I struggle to find my size in store. This one fits great! The material isn't the flimsy stuff that most bras in my size are made of, and lends to a nice shape with no embarrassing show through of the nipple. The straps can be adjusted to the perfect length, helping to lift up the girls (no more saggy boobs)! This bra is nice and smooth under tops without coming up super high and showing when you wear a v-neck. My only wish is that there were more colors of this bra. UPDATE: While I still love this bra, one of my straps just bit the dust! Tore right off the back of the band. Good bra, but it won't last forever! UPDATE NO 2: After less than a month of wear I just had another strap rip off the band! Has only happened to my black ones...so disappointing! I can't afford to buy a new bra every month!

I'm pretty familiar with Curvy Kate's sizing, so I found that it fit as expected. The shape is high and round, and it projects the breasts forward, instead of sideways. There are 3 hooks in the back in my size (30J), and the straps are fully adjustable. The bra is more of a balconnet than a full cover, which I find works well for me. I have narrow shoulders and a small ribcage, and the center gore sits flat. I am not spilling out of the bra in any direction, and I don't need to adjust myself during the day. Sizing runs typical of Curvy Kate bras, by which I mean tight/firm in the band and small in the cup. The cups are shallow and the underwire is short, so you'll want to take that into account when ordering. For reference, the underwire and cup depth for the 30J I got is the same as in the 30H in the Panache Underwired Sports Bra that I have. I knew it would run this way, so the size I got fits well; you will want to go 1-2 sizes up in the cup. The band is very firm/tight, which I also expected. I'm using it with an extender currently, since I only need a tiny amount of extra space. It will NOT loosen much over time, so don't plan on that. If you prefer a looser band, go up 1 band size and 1 cup size; if you prefer a tighter band, get your regular band size and go up 2 cup sizes. If you're tall or have a longer torso, you may want to skip this one. The straps are fully adjustable, but they aren't very long - mine are fully loosened, and I'm 5'6" with a short torso.

I ordered this bra after another reviewer recommended it as a replacement for the Freya Deco Plunge (which annoyingly stops at a GG cup size). I'm so happy to finally find a supportive bra, in my size, that doesn't try to smash my boobs or shove them out to the sides. Thank you, Curvy Kate, for recognizing that some of large-chested ladies are not looking to minimize or hide our boobs under our arms. This bra gives me the "up and in" that I was looking for and is a welcome change from all those "down and out" full-figure styles out there. I also love that even the 34 band size has a 3-hook closure, and the bra is actually pretty sexy on - it doesn't look like a lot of the old lady large cup bras. How I arrived at my size: I was wearing the Freya Deco Plunge in 36GG. The band was too big and I was spilling out of the cups. I ordered the CK Daily Dream in a 34HH initially. Band size was perfect, but I was getting minor quad-boob on my fuller side, so I went up to the 34J (note that this bra is listed in UK sizes). The 34J is perfect.

soft pads but lace deco rolles up, it is also a bit smaller than other Curvy Kate bras of that size

Lovely fit in general but strap snapped after 2 weeks - cups however are a little weird and don’t sit flushed with spillage at the sides if not tight enough

Bien

Attenzione a scegliere la taglia giusta, andate su Curvy Kate per vedere la tabella taglie e scegliete una coppa in più rispetto al solito perchè veste un po' stretto di coppa, regolare di giroseno. Non guardate la foto del prodotto su Amazon perchè la modella indossa evidentemente una taglia sbagliata, le coppe devono vestire molto più comode. Ha la struttura tagliata in verticale per un maggiore sostegno con una fascia laterale per evitare l'effetto "quadboob", spalline completamente regolabili e fodera interna molto morbida.

Aufgrund anderer Rezensionen habe ich eine Körbchengröße kleiner genommen und es passt wunderbar. Allein die Träger sind nicht so meins, ich vermute, dass sie einrollen werden(bis jetzt aber ist nichts passiert). Da war der Daily booster glaube ich besser. Er ist ganz anders geschnitten, als Daily booster- zieht alles mehr in die Mitte. Da er unter den Achseln tiefer geschnitten ist, pieckst nichts unter den Achseln. Und endlich ohne weißen Details- kann man super unter helle Kleidung anziehen.
