A brief intro to crumb-catchers: They are voluminous elements found at the bust of a bodice. They can be pleated, ruffled, or bigger and more structural origami elements. The purpose of this style element is to add dimension and shape to the bust. It is a detail that works very much to the benefit of the less endowed since it helps to carve out a curvier silhouette, but fuller figures must tread very carefully to avoid a top heavy look.
Now that the description is out of the way, let's move on to some solid examples.

This Amsale gown has something you don't see everyday: an asymmetric one shoulder neckline that also has a crumb-catcher bodice feature!
According to the description this bodice is silk wool, which from the looks is solid and heavy enough to support an artfully sculptural version of crumb-catcher.
