Update on Cleo SS13
I could use some advice on the new SS13 Cleo bras (which are now going on sale) since I haven't tried one of them yet and it would help me to know how they compare to the AW12 and SS12 Cleos. I tried many of the old Cleos and some of them used to work better on me than others.
How do these SS13 Cleo bras compare to older models:
Cleo Melissa (6991)
Cleo Marcie (6831) (the aqua blue one)
Cleo Bella Balconnet Bra (7001)
Cleo Lucy (5851) (the purple one)
Cleo Meg (coral spot) compared to Meg (Bird print)?
Does blue Marcie run big in the cups like red Marcie?
Are Bella and Melissa like Alexa, Meg, Chloe (full - on - top bras) or more like Zia or Nathasha (less roomy on top)?

I tried out the Melissa, and it fit me much like the red Marcie. I had a bit of internal quadding up the top in a 32J. It was probably wearable, but I knew it was there. It's definitely a bra which works better for a fuller on top shape. It's not insanely large like the Meg *sigh*. I haven't tried the blue Marcie. I'm now thinking that in Australia we must get all really old styles (or that's all they stock in super large sizes until they sell). I always knew we were a bit backward...
My local bra shop has only just moved on from stocking only the dreaded Panache Tango Ii Balconette (3251) and its variants, bit there's still not much variety - anything you want, as long as it's made by Panache. Pretty sure Cleo Lucy (5851) is the only one of these they carry, and then only in the continuity colours.
Tl;dr: Australia is a depressing bra desert.
