Didn't fit
This was my first foray into Curvy Kate bras and I want to run back to my beloved Freya!
First, the good. The Daily Boost is a very sturdily made bra; it's hard to describe, but it has the feel of a bra that would last a long time. There's nothing flimsy about it. The 28 band runs about average with other 28s I've worn, neither exceptionally firm, nor loose.
It's a very 'practical' looking bra. Black with gray piping and a little gray bow at the center gore. Even the bow is 'practical' looking, as if the bra really needed to scream, "I'm not for decoration or sexiness!" It's could've been cuter. A little cute never hurt anyone.
The seams show just a tiny bit under my t-shirts and probably would fully show in anything very tight. It is not quite a t-shirt bra.
Now, all that said, I'm pretty sure this bra is the complete wrong shape for me. The cups are shallow and somewhat wide. While they don't cut in, or give me quadra-boob, I am forever adjustiing and re-adjusting as my narrow, close-set boobs refuse to work with the cup shape given. Oftentimes, there's is empty space at the apex of the cups, other times it's more towards the center. I wonder if a 28FF might have been better, but the shape seems so wrong, I doubt it.
I think I'll just be buying the Tease Me from Curvy Kate and leaving the rest of their line alone.This bra is not owned any more
