About me: size 30FF/G or 32F/FF but most comfortable in 30G. Very projected, close set breasts with short and narrow roots. Even vertical fullness and center full. Best fitting bra is Cleo Hettie in 30G.

I think that this is the one! I'm so sad that this bra is discontinued because it is my best fit yet! The gore is low enough that it actually tacks and only digs into my breast a little (I have this happen with pretty much anything that isn't a plunge, and my tissue is too soft and center full for plunges to really work on me). I don't have any quadding, ... and the cups give me a completely round and uplifted shape that reminds me of a grapefruit.

The only thing that I dislike about this bra is the color. The blue and pink are a just too cotton candy/bubblegum for me, so I'd like to dye this to a darker color if possible. I'm pretty young, but I've never been super girly (I prefer things that are more delicate and feminine) so this is just my preference.

After I got my 30G - Panache » Floris Balconnet Bra (7311) , another Marcie sister cut that ended up fitting pretty poorly, I was very worried about how the Pixie would fit. However, I can say that the Pixie is VERY different from Floris. My biggest problems with Floris were in cup quadding, the very stiff band, and the very long wire length. Pixie solves all of these problems, ... perhaps even a little too well!

Pixie has a very comfortable band that is snug but not to the extent where I need an extender. The wires are low and narrow, so while the gore goes into my tissue slightly on one side (like all non plunge bras) it actually lays flat. The wires are also short enough that I have no armpit poking. I have no quadding, but I actually have some slight wrinkling of the top mesh. I believe that this is caused by the straps being too wide for me, but I have very narrow shoulders so I have this problem with many bras, especially Cleo ones. The projection seems good, and this bra has very high lift.

It's not the perfect fit, but it's close and very comfortable. I also love the design and color of this bra, so in my eyes it's a keeper!

About me: 30FF/G but can comfortably wear 32F/FF. Usually, 30G is my go to. Very projected and close set with short, narrow roots and even fullness.

This bra is too shallow and the cups are way too wide for me, so it looked terrible and provided almost no support. It is a pretty bra, so I wish that it fit.

I really wanted to like this bra, because it's beautiful and the lattice at the top is different from anything that I have. Unfortunately, this bra fits me very poorly. The wires on this are pretty long, so they poke into my armpits on the sides. The center gore is both high and wide, and since I'm so close set, it floats a little. I usually have issues with ... gores either floating or poking into my breasts, but it seems to be worse in this bra. I have tiny shoulders, so the straps are way too far apart for me.

Even though a lot of people have said that this bra runs big, this colorway (black floral SS16) seems to run small on me. The back band is very firm, and I'm getting in cup quadding on my larger side. This doesn't seem to be a shape mismatch since I fit well into similar bras like the Ellis.

As for pros, I think that this bra is beautiful and classy looking. The fabric is comfortable and not itchy, and very supportive for soft tissue. It has great projection and gives a nice, rounded shape. Despite the gore issues, this bra still manages to give me good separation.

I may try altering this bra since it's so pretty. I also really want to try the Ivory color to see if some of the fit issues that I had were limited to this colorway.

This was the completely wrong size for me (I'm actually a 30G UK sized), but I ran into some quality issues for this bra. The band stretched out very quickly and the cups fit me strangely. The wires were too wide for me, and the cups were gaping at the top center, but they also created some quad boob. For reference, I'm very projected and close set with short, narrow roots and even fullness.

I had no idea if this bra would fit me when I bought it. The Lucy was too closed on top for me, but the Blake (which is supposed to be similar to this cut) was recommended so I thought that I would give it a try. I am very glad that I decided to go for it! I really like the fit of this bra because I feel like it does a ... great job covering the tops of my breasts. Lace tends to gape on me, but this bra is made of a really rigid material that keeps its shape and holds things in place.

Because I'm close set and center full, I'm struggling with the center gore, but I have yet to find a non-plunge style where the gore isn't a problem. My gore is still tacked, but it pokes into my breast tissue a little.

I think that the colors and design of this bra are great. Sometimes I feel like Cleo's designs are too frilly for me, but this one seems more feminine and understated without being plain or looking like a granny bra.

I think that this bra has a nice profile and gives nice separation under a t-shirt. It gives a pretty round shape as is typical for Cleo.

This bra was too shallow and wide for me, to the point where I have tavern cleavage. I don't plan on keeping this.

Even though I'm most comfortable in 30G for Cleo, I sister sized up since I read that the band ran a little tight. I'm definitely glad that I did, because the 32FF is even a little snug! I get a pretty round shape with cakes on a plate cleavage in this bra, but I have some quadding on my larger breast. Another problem is that because I'm close set and the gores are ... a little high, it doesn't lie completely flat on my sternum. However, there's only a slight lift. I think the projection is a little low for me, and the band digs into my skin in certain positions because of the construction, so while this feels comfortable at first, by the end of the day I'm dying to get out of it.

As for design, I have the white colorway and I think it's a little plain, but that's just a personal preference.

When I tried the Kayla, I thought that that it was the best thing ever. But this puts Kayla to shame! The bottom of Hettie is firmer than Kayla, so it does a better job of holding my (very soft) tissue in place. I also had some slight folding of the top lace in Kayla, but with Hettie the lace lays smoothly against my body. Hettie also has lower gores than Kayla, so it feels more comfortable for my short roots. The straps and gore are both a little wide for me, but that's just part of being close set and having narrow shoulders. I really do love this bra and how comfortable it is.

I think that the shape of this bra is nice, but I would prefer if it was slightly rounder. The color is fine and it seems to be well-constructed.

I'm so glad that this was recommended to me! I have close set, very projected, even breasts with narrow and short roots, so I've struggled mainly with depth and wire size on past bras. The wires on this are narrow and they aren't the shortest, but they're short enough that this is comfortable and not digging into my armpits. Because I'm close set, the center gore digs into one of my breasts a little, but I've had that problem with most non-plunge bras. The straps on this are a little wide for me, which causes a small amount of gaping at the top, but overall I love the fit.
