I bought this bra to try it on, hoping it would fit. I love how it looks: the grey polka dots, the orange embroidery. It's very pretty. It's also in the size I've been getting Cleo bras in, 34F. Unfortunately, like all Cleo bras I've tried on, the centre seam on the cup cuts into my boobs, giving me a quad-boob effect. The top of the cup, however, is actually too loose and there's gaping. I get the same quad-boob effect from all the Cleo bras I've acquired recently, though this is the first to have gaping at the top of the cup. Also, the fabric on this bra, whilst very comfortable, is more stretchy than other Cleos I've gotten. Normally, a 36 band is a bit too loose whilst a 34 is a smidge too tight. With this one? The 34 feels like a 36 to me. It really does disappoint me that this is yet another bra that does not fit right. There are bits that are great to me. It gives a rounded shape (well, close to it; it would be round if the centre seam didn't give me quad-boob), the gore is wide enough for my wide-set boobs, the fabric is comfortable, the cups seem to actually encapsulate my breasts. But I get the quad-boob, the gaping, the band is too big or too stretchy (probably too stretchy since all my measurements say I should wear a 36 band).
