This bra is super comfortable. Measured/ "usual" size too small/cups not deep enough. There is a bit of retro pointiness going on but I don't mind it. Going to try a cup size bigger.

I think the cups are too wide and too short. Wire is encroaching on the side of bigger boob; extra fabric in smaller cup. Doesn't fit well. Fairly comfortable, nice looking bra.

It seems that cups are too wide and wires are too short. Cup too short for bigger boob on the side and it pops out- also top edge digs in. I'm finding the wide/short to be a theme w/ CK bras for me, unfortunately. Same with the ellace (see my review) and the enchanted plunge balconette.

2nd bra that fits so far! It isn't quite as supportive as I like (when I bounce up and down there is more jiggle than my other bras), but it is pretty comfortable. after wearing it for 45min or so, the wires felt like they were digging in a bit.

At first, as with the cleo hettie, I wondered if the band was too tight-- but the band regular and stretched measurements were larger than most of the others that fit in the band. It fits upside down/backwards.

Since it is just these 2 cleo bras that feel like this, maybe it is bc the wires are stiff?

Or maybe just because I've worn them for longer and realize that they are not as comfy as when just putting them on for 5 minutes..


Thinking about trying a 34d but thinking that even if the band was more comfortable, it might not fit as well overall.

thoughts?

It doesn't seem to be able to accommodate my projection and the gore won't sit flat. Feels like it's floating on my ribcage.

Pretty bra, nicely made, though. The 32E had side support wires (they were flexible), whereas the 32dd did not. 32dd was a newer model though; perhaps that's why?

This bra actually fit except for the center gore digging into my sternum. I bent the wires back a bit and still was uncomfortable. Also felt like the wires were digging in under my breasts or like the band was too tight. Based on regular and stretched band measurements, the band isn't any shorter than other ones that felt comfortable, so I am wondering if it is just the wires being stiff. Although, I did wear this bra around the house for a while, which I haven't with the others.

Have thought about trying a 34d but it seems like the band would be too tight.. thoughts?

I like this bra a lot; it's one of the comfiest I've tried so far in my journey. Wires dig in a bit but I am going to try a larger band- it was on the small side for the 32s I've had (31" stretched). Cups were a bit too big, but I can get away with i t(IMO). I ended up sizing up several cups sizes (usually a 32dd or ddd). See my review of the comexim half cup (I labelled it wrong) in 32ddd which was too small. I picked this size based on reported measurements on bratabase

For seamed cups, they don't show up as much as I thought they might under shirts. Not too much padding either, perfect amt

I have ordered this in a 34f and 34ddd to see what happens

I love this bra. NIce styling, simple but cute. Nice materials. lined/lightly padded but doesn't feel like you are wearing a bulletproof vest (thinner than CK daily dream and Parfait charlotte & tess). Too shallow for me, i think. underwires are overlapping, very comfortable, though, as far as materials go. band seems to fit a little on the tight side, but in a good way- most 32's fit best on the tightest band; this fits best on middle. Also reviewed in 32ddd which is too small (my measured/fitted size is 32dd, although bratabase says i am a 32d and I havent fit into one of those since early high school).

This bra is not owned any more

I would say this bra fits pretty well (I know it's not in my IMF!!!...and the cups are probably too wide), but the wires still felt like they were digging into my ribcage, which is a constant theme. Inside of band is also a bit scratchy. Otherwise a nice bra. Gives a bit of a torpedo shape. "True to size" for me. Band on the longer side for 32" compared to the other bras I've tried (cleo, panache, parfait, ck)

I really like this bra and the color, but this size is too big and 32dd is way too small.

If I stand up straight, the gapping of the cups is bad. If I am in my normal slouching position, only the R cup gapping is bothersome, but it's enough not to keep it. Also, it's a little overly padded for me. I guess it's only a little thicker than my VS 'body by victoria' "perefect fit" (Haha" bras, but it pushes me much more up and to the center, so the padding is more noticeable.

I guess just not a shape fit, and/or I need a cup half size.
