Holy cannoli! Ellis' band is T-I-G-H-T. My underbust measures approx. 29 - 30" depending on my weight fluctuations (& I have comfortably worn 30/65 bands in Cleo, Panache, Freya, Avocado, Comexim, EM, etc) but this one definitely needs an extender. The fabric that the band is made of doesn't have much inherent give, so breaking it in could take some time.

I was also surprised by the somewhat stiff material of the cups. The lace on top, especially, has zero stretch (unlike, say, Jasmine). For some confusing reason, this bra gives me a very pointy shape whereas all other Cleo's I have tried (Marcie, Skye, Lily & Blake) give a fairly rounded profile. I'm not quite sure what it is about the construction of THIS particular bra that gives me torpedo-boob... but it's not all that flattering. Something about my shape doesn't like this bra.

Aesthetically, this bra is stunning on the hanger. The variation of color (especially the peach, green, and shades of pink) are undeniably lovely. It's such a cheery spring/summer bra! The fit in the end, though, is subpar & uncomfortably tight.

This bra is not owned any more
