Didn't fit

This particular Caitlyn was purchased in the summer of 2014 and was approximately the 10th one I had. Until I discovered Bratabase and Bravissimo, I had come to the conclusion that the Caitlyn was the only bra I could comfortably wear. The Caitlyn's would not last long for me as they would stretch out and become unwearable after a year of use. They were certainly a significant upgrade on the Elila 1305s I wore for the previous 5-10 years but both are a distant memory for me.
The wires on the Caitlyn are close to an inch longer than my Alana's and combined with the extra 2 inches of band length, the wires end way too far back. I have the Caitlyn in Raspberry as well and those wires are almost 19.5 inches long. I thought about returning the Raspberry bra but convinced myself not to, thinking I will just grow into it. I also found this bra to give me the most east/west look I have ever had.
Thank god I discovered Bravissimo.

Raspberry colorway

This bra is not owned any more

  • I wore this Caitlyn almost a year ago but forgot to report that experience here.

    This was the most east west look I ever had in a bra and I was way more pointy looking than I remember when this was in my rotation. I guess my many Bravissimo bras have spoiled me as they are all excellent in putting everything front and center which gives me a narrower profile.
