    I accidently ordered the totally wrong size. I accidentally scrolled the size scroller and placed the order. And of course figleaves just ignored the e-mail I sent just 5 minutes afterwards. But it is incredibly pretty, like, the type of bra I'd like to have in the right size https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    32F

    Didn't fit

    Beautiful bra. Band is tight, as it always is with Cleo. I prefer to buy my regular size and wear an extender for a bit as Cleo's bands stretch fairly quickly in my experience. So far it's very comfortable, gore tacks but doesn't dig in, straps adjust to a good length (though I'm worried they may be a tad bit too wide, will see after longer wear). It definitely has more room for projection than I'm used to, but I don't seem to have a problem filling it out on my larger breast. The silhouette is a tiny but pointer than I'd prefer, but it's not a huge ... problem. Overall, good fit, and I'm very happy with it. With the more projected cups, I'd say this actually fits somewhere between a 32F and FF, but as I'm between sizes it's not an issue for me. Will update after long wear.

    Update: So after wearing for a couple of hours, the straps are indeed a bit too wide, I'm getting a little chafing in the armpit area but this is a problem in most of the bras I've tried, it's not too bad in this particular bra. I actually think the cups are too large now, my smaller breast is swimming in it, and I've noticed that my larger breast has some wrinkling and gaping that weren't apparent when I tried it on. Thinking about trying this in a 32E instead, but I'm afraid those cups will be too small.

    30GG

    Didn't fit

    Fits like most unpadded Cleo balconnettes. Gives a round, uplifted shape with lots of projection. The band is much looser, however, and the bra doesn't stay put as well as my Marcie, Melissa, Ellis, etc.

    A word of caution to top-heavy ladies out there: the Bella is somewhat closed on top, more like a Meg or Lily than a Marcie. I opted for a GG because of this, and had I sized down in the cup it's likely it would have solved my band/wide wires issues, but I would probably have quadboobed because of my tall root.

    Oh, and the promo pictures never impressed me. Somehow, the pattern and colours just looked... too much. I was gladly surprised when it arrived. It's so much prettier in real life. My favourite part is the details on the mesh - polka dots, lemon-coloured butterflies, bird and sun embroidery.

    Very gently used--I was convinced I should wear a 30G for a while, but in Cleo bras, turns out a 32G is a better fit!

    I love this style, though--super cute and fun! I think it will be very comfortable in the right size. Good amount of projection.

    The cup size on this one is a little too small for me and it doesn't have quite enough projection, leading to wrinkling on the bottom and cutting in on the top. It would be better for someone a little more average in that regard!

    I purchased this bra used with an alteration to the straps to extend their length. You can still shorten the straps up quite a bit and it seems to have been done well.

    Another favorite! Losing weight has made the cups a smidgen loose, but not a big deal.

    LOVE this bra. It separates and lifts perfectly, not to mention it is cute to boot. As with all seamed bras, the seams can be noticeable under very thin fabric, but that's true of all my seamed bras.

    28F

    Fits

    This bra fits me perfectly and I'm a pretty solid 28F currently. It's kind of a cross between the Cleo Marcie and the Cleo Meg in cut. I think it's closer to a Marcie cut but the stiffer fabric makes it behave like a meg. The cups size runs true to how all Cleo bras fit. The band is nice and tight. The pattern is very youthful and fun and cheery.

    Didn't fit

    I tried a few different sister fits of the Bella, but unfortunately none of them work for me. Its absolutely gorgeous though, im so sad! it has to be one of the prettiest bras ive seen- i especially love the teal mesh with yellow embroidery at the top. The colors are very spring-like and young without feeling little-girl.

    The band feels firm, and ive come to understand that cleo bands tend to feel very tight at first but then relax and are comfortably snug. I can see where the shape of these Cleos get such rave reviews- im definitely brought very in and up! Its almost a little ridiculous ... =P The cups gape at the top and in general seem to have too much space. Im not surprised, as i don't have much upper fullness (large-shallow is a term ive recently learned for my shape). There's also space near the apex.

    The gore does dig, and feel uncomfortable, but its not as bad as the Marcie. The gore also seems to not want to lay flat- it makes a little point instead, if that makes sense? i can poke it down and it will lay flat, but as i haven't worn it other than to try it on, i can say if it would work its way back out. The straps are of course a little too far apart, and dig a bit into my arm pits. Its a balconnet, so i figured that would be the case.

    in a perfect world- this design would be on something more like the Juna so i could wear it! a girl can dream https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    38F

    Didn't fit

    I really had high hopes for this finally being *my* Cleo (aka the first Cleo that fits me right)! Alas, that does not see to be the case for me.

    As I am new to the bra world, I am sort of self-diagnosing my issues with this bra. Firstly let me mention that this bra does a FANTASTIC job of pushing all my breast tissue forward. This does not work well for me, as I am wider splayed and I have a size difference between my breasts. What I've found is that with all that tissue pushed forward, the size difference between my breasts is HUGELY noticeable. It literally ... looks to me like my larger breast is sticking out a half an inch more than my other breast. Besides this, everything feels squeezed in too much. The wires aren't wide enough for me, which squeezes everything forward even more, and almost feels suffocating.

    One good thing is that there is no gaping or wrinkles on the cup, which were my problems with the other Cleo bras that I have tried. The band fits well too, as I found that my normal size (36) was just TOO small for Cleos. I sized up a band and down a cup size for this fit.

    Edit: I think that next time I should also size up another cup size. 38FF might have been a better choice. *Adding this into my review for my own records for my next Cleo adventure.
