Are Cleo bands getting stretchier?
Having tested my new 30GG Hettie, Kayla and Skye bras over the last month, each worn about 7-8 times, I'm already on the third set of hooks and the band is still riding up by the end of the day, so much so that I'm considering trying a 28 just to see what it's like.
My current tightest underbust measurement I can manage is 30-30.5 inches, but I understand that over the past few seasons Cleo bands have been getting very stretchy, so maybe this is just a continuation of that as I can't see them being worn out already!

The Skye and Blake I tried were stretchy. And, Skye's wires distorted too easily, for me.
There have been reports of stretchy bands starting with SS 2016 colorways/cuts (I can personally confirm Hettie (pink), Della (floral), Blake (teal), Marcie (bluebell)) . Aside from the stretchy bands I personally experienced, I have heard that the leopard Della, pink Blake, and tangerine Marcie have also been stretchy.
I think we need to start adding a caveat to the old go-to "Cleo bands run firm!" advice I see very commonly dispensed.
