Used to fit
Appearance: this bra is lovely. It is less childish in appearance than many Cleo bras, which is a big plus for me. The bottom half of the cup seems to be double lined, so it is not see through (and is also incredibly supportive). The lace panel at the top is see through, and is very pretty with its polka dots without being overly fussy.
Fit: I have narrow roots and am projected with very soft breasts, but my roots are also tall and above the nipple my breasts are shallow. The lower section of the cup fits me perfectly, it allows for ample immediate projection and the wires are narrow enough that they don't bother me. The gore is quite high than I like, but this is a balconette so that is expected. It is not uncomfortably tall on me in any case (I do not have much inner-fullness). There is a lot of wrinkling in the lace panel at the top - I definitely need the stretch lace offered in Panache's Andorra bra or a less stiff material to accommodate my shallowness up top. Going down a cup size was not an option for me, as the 28E did not have the projection I need. I am not overly bothered by wrinkling at the top of the cup (I am used to it!) and it does not affect my shape under clothes at all. With that having been said, I am going to try altering the top section as an experiment!
The shape is up front, lifted and round. The material of the cup is supportive enough that it shifts my soft breasts forward and into the classic Cleo basketball shape. Gorgeous under both close fitting and loose tops.
The band is a tight 28. My snug underbust varies between 26.5 and 29, so I am between band sizes. I did not want to size up to a 30 in case the band stretches quite quickly, so I shall be wearing this with an extender. I think I need another inch on the band (if it had been more, I would have sized up).
The wires are very firm. At the moment they feel uncomfortable, but I am used to Freya bras with their super soft wires. And the bra is new - they may soften somewhat over time. Will update if they do.
