Didn't fit

I bought this along with the Cleos Lily and Marcie in a first attempt at figuring out my shape. The Lucy is quite a nice-looking bra, a balconette style like the Lily and Marcie, but it seems to be a bit wider and shallower than the other two bras. It's also known as a bra more suited to full-on-bottom shapes.

On me, however, this bra was so wrong it's a little hard for me to review it properly! It slid down my chest as soon as I put it on, as if my boobs were repelling it. After I hoiked it up into the right place in my inframammary fold, I found I got a very bizarre triple boob effect from the seams. It was obviously a cup size too small so that might be part of the problem - yet the Marcie in this size was also too small yet didn't have quite such a violent reaction to my boobs! On the plus side, the gore is shorter and less annoying than the higher gores of the Marcie and Lily.

Although this is one of the weirdest bras I've ever tried on, at some point I'd still like to try it in a cup size larger just so I can be sure it's the style of the bra that's wrong and not just the size. Certainly a nice everyday bra if it suits your shape.
