    42G

    Didn't fit

    This seems to fit fairly well although it doesn't stay in my IMF and the straps are horrible, horrible, horrible, and so uncomfortable I'd return it if I hadn't bought it blind from zulily in a sudden fit of confidence inspired by bratabase measurements. I also get some buckling at the bottom of the cup, but it'll be a fine nude for now.

    Update: I wore this to work yesterday, and holy cow were the straps awful. They were too stretchy to give any support at all, curled up around the edges so they were in a weird roll, and left horrible red marks on my shoulders. Do not recommend.

    28GG

    Didn't fit

    . This is a really nice quality basic bra. However, it is too small on my larger side and I am quadding out of it. It fits well on my smaller side. Immediate projection is pretty good. It is not that great for center projection, although perhaps in a larger size it would be better. I wear a 28GG or 30 G in almost all bras, so this may run slightly small.
    The horizontal seam do show.
    Lift is excellent and support feels really good with 3 hooks.

    40HH

    Didn't fit

    Fit: This bra is the right size but looks too big. It is meant for someone with narrow but shallower breasts that are taller than mine. I normally fit molded cups because my breasts flow like cake batter into most molds. Not so for this bra. Its cut and sew style with an underlying foam cup makes an angular, stiff shape which does not allow my breasts to shape and be shaped like it. They push out the gore because there is no room for center fullness. They bulge out the sides where the bra is cut low and with too much ... room (why?). They press down the bottom to make room. The cups gape at the top because they are too tall, but when the gore is pressed in I fit perfectly. I'm not sure who this bra would fit in my size range. Maybe a more narrow splayed tall breasted someone. I'm not sure though that her breasts would not spill out the side. The straps are flimsy and fold over. The fundamental flaw here is that the straps should attach farther towards the armpit to allow for forward projection and prevent armpit gapping. That alteration might make the bra wearable for me but it's not worth it because of the other insurmountable fit issues.

    Style: I love the minimalist but lovely design. The bow is fine, the crosshatch design of the fabric on the gore and wings is nice. The seams are not too prominent. The beige is a good fit for pale skin.

    Comfort: The fabric is soft but for the band. Under the cups it is harsh and chafes. The straps are narrow and very stretchy. The band elastic is not narrow but not as wide and soft as Elomi.

    Fit: This bra is too small. I have a feeling the one in a size up was actually the correct size, even though it looked large. That's because this bra is meant for someone with narrow but shallower breasts that are taller than mine. I normally fit molded cups because my breasts flow like cake batter into most molds. Not so for this bra. Its cut and sew style with an underlying foam cup makes an angular, stiff shape which does not allow my breasts to shape and be shaped like it.

    28E

    Didn't fit

    I was worried this bra wouldn't fit me, since I sometimes fit 28DD and sometimes 28E in Curvy Kate and it's hard to tell which will be best. Fortunately, I chose right. This bra fits me well everywhere except at the center. The gore is wider than I'd like and the bra asks for more center fullness than I have, but I think both of these can be fixed by narrowing the gore. Also, the band is too big for me but that's sister sizing for you, what are you gonna do. It's less stretchy than some of CK's bands, though.

    Overall, the CK redesign is working out well ... for me. This bra is narrow and projected. The cups on this bra are as narrow as, and actually deeper than, my Comexim 3HCs. So I don't get the cleavage that Polish bras give me, because the bra isn't pushing my tissue upwards, but the shape is just as good under a t-shirt or button-up.

    I'm glad the bra fits, because it is adorable and comfortable and looks good on. I tried the Smoothie once and it was a disaster on me in every way, so this is definitely the better of CK's t-shirt bras in my opinion.

    Didn't fit

    This bra looks as though it should fit - no quadding, my breasts seem to fit the cups at the side but the gore doesn't quite tack. I think if I size up it will be too big. Unfortunately CK is a brand that still doesn't work for me.

    30HH

    Didn't fit

    I just got this bra today so I can't say how it will wear long term. I've been wearing a bra that was too big for months now due to weight loss & I will have to re-adjust to wearing the right size band. Right now it feels really tight to me but I know that's how it's supposed to be. The band seems to be true to size & it's very snug at the loosest set of hooks. The material of the bra is very smooth & comfortable. The wires come up far enough to contain side boob without chafing. ... I like the low gore. It gives me good lift & projection. I get a slightly more pointy shape than I like but I wouldn't say the shape is overall pointy. I didn't set it in the fit, but I do get just the tiniest amount of quadding. This is the 2nd round of sizes in this bra that I've ordered off Amazon & in the first batch I tried the 30J & the cup was too big so I think the quadding is just a shape issue rather than a size problem. I really like more of a half-cup padded bra & that shape really works well for me with a very open top, but I have been sized out them for a while & have just started my search again now that I've lost so much in my chest. The seams of this bra are pretty visible under thinner shirts. I've gotten used to that by now. I don't have any bras that don't show the seams.

    I'm updating this now that I've worn it a couple weeks. I've decided that this bra does not have enough projection for me. The longer I wear it, the more the wires are pushed down into my ribcage & it's really painful. Also, the wires are so wide that they sit pretty far under my arms. This lets my breasts go really wide. I'm more used to an upfront look & don't like to look so wide from the front. I'm changing the Comfort rating to poor simply because of the shape mis-match made it so painful to wear this bra for more than a couple hours at a time.

    This bra seems like it would be better suited to women with center fullness, as the gore width is narrow and the cup shape seems cut for that breast shape.

    30GG

    Didn't fit

    When my boobs were bigger, the Daily Boost was one of my daily wear bras. I found them quite comfortable and appreciated the small amount of padding, which I need to give my soft tissue more shape. Now that I'm a few sizes smaller and the Boost has been discontinued, I decided to try the Daily Dream. It's a strange fit. I currently also have a Daily Boost in a 30G. It fits well enough, with some quadding on my larger breast and a little tissue leakage in my armpit (mostly just loose skin from my weight loss, not "boob meat"). I ordered the new style in a ... 30GG, hoping that might mitigate the quadding. However, it's even WORSE in this bra because the lower part of the cup seems very shallow and steeply angled up from the wire. My boobs just won't settle in and sorta just wiggle up and out of the top. The wire comes up higher under my arms, so there's no tissue escaping there. But the tops of the cups? Whoa. Total mess. Sending this one back, I guess. Not even going to attempt the 30H because I think it's a cup shape issue more than cup volume. It's a shame because this is a nice basic bra and the switch from contrasting piping to all-black or all-nude makes this one a good choice for someone who wants a good "go under everything" bra in their drawer.
