likesBoth are very similar in terms of measurements and fit. Lucy has a lower gore and wings, slightly less cup depth, and slightly narrower wires, but not enough to make much of a difference (for me, anyway). The straps on Caitlyn aren't as wide on the shoulder, which I think I prefer, but Lucy's straps are much thicker and padded with a fleecy material which I assume would help them stay in place.
The big differences are going to be the shape they give. Both are projected and ideal for wide, full-on-bottom breasts, but Caitlyn is much closer to a "natural" breast shape, while Lucy pushes them up high and round.
I can't really say which I like better yet, but I'm definitely pleased with how Lucy fits, and I like Caitlyn a lot, other than how much of my breasts it covers.
