Love this bra. It is really a good fit if you are in between 28E and 28F.
This bra could fit someone who needs a 28 F also. The band is slightly looser than other Cleo 28 bands. And the wires seem more comfortable than the Lucy wires on my ribs. The band feels slightly bigger than Lucy's band bit not as loose as the Juna band.

Not sturdy enough for me. Band is way too big. I can't fill out the cups on top. Really lovely embroidery, though.

Fits really well, for a bandless bra. I had issues with this same cut in a 30G, so perhaps it's the smaller band that saves it this time.
The cups are narrow when laid flat but because of the bandless style, they distort and are wider when worn. Normally this would be very painful for me, but somehow, in this one, it's not. My full all over even boobs fill out the cups nicely without being cut into or spilling out anywhere. I wore it for a full day when I got it and I had no issues beyond having to hike it up once in a while because it crept down my V-shaped ribcage a little more than banded bras do. The shape is typical Cleo round and uplifted.
I like the deep pink with lime accents. I interpret the embroidery as something in between flowers and fireworks. Some of it is white, so it will show through light coloured tops.

Cups and uplift were great for an unpadded bra, can't really give a fair review as the back was a bit big (considering im more bordering on a 26 / 4 band)

I ran into the Bonnie on the Bras I Hate & Love blog and decided to order it for two reasons - according to the blog author, it creates a very rounded shape (and I take her word on many things), and then, also, it's pink and I've been looking to add a pink bra to my stash.
I altered the bra slightly - the center gore is stitched together, so it is barely 0.5 cm wide. After this alteration, which turned the cups of the bra a little, it fits very well. Maybe it's because of this change, but I think the cups are quite large for a ... 28HH - usually I'm between a HH and a J, but with the Bonnie, the fit is spot on... (it even gapes a little on "small" day). It could be the gore, though.
The shape is very round and stays that way for the entire day!
The fabric is somewhat stiff and the wires are wide, but not uncomfortably so. The straps are pretty average as straps go.
The band, however, is reeeeeally stretchy. I am a standard 28, I think, maybe even on the 28/30 side, but I could fasten this band on the third row immediately and it actually slides up when worn for a longer period of time https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> So if you can, I'd definitely recommend sizing down on the band. It surprises me to see that several reviews mention the band being too tight (!) - perhaps it is a question of different batches or colorways? I have the bright pink one.

This bra is very cute. I found it on Bare Necessities for 13.50+shipping so I decided to pick it up in 34FF. After determining with the leaning test that I am more full on top, I found that I could not fill out this bra at the top at all. It fit the bottom of my breasts very well and the gore tacked but there was a lot of wrinkling at the top. I say buy a cup down if you are full on top. I adjusted the straps to as short as they could go while still being comfortable, but there was still too much wrinkling. I will try it under clothes and see how it works.

Pretty bra, but too small. Mr BF likes spilling though, and wants me to keep it. I'd rather not. I would love to exchange this for one in a bigger size, maybe. It's pretty scratchy.

The main problem with this bra is the gaping that happens on my shallow breasts. They fill the bottom of the cup out but the loose material on top just looks terrible and overall makes the bra feel weird. The rest of the bra fits okay and feels normal for a 30F. Wont be keeping this one

I love this bra!
This bra is a sister cut of Cleo Lucy, which works well for FOB breasts with some projection. Hot Pink with colorful Embroidered blossoms (more modern looking blossoms, more like polka dots Shan realistic flowers).
The fit is similar to the Lucy, but has some differences. The band is much stretchier. If you are between sizes you can likely size down in this band. The top lace is not as stretchy as the Lucy- so a bit roomier in the top if you quad noob a tiny bit in the Lucy. ... I like the fabric of the lace- even if I slouch enough to cause gaping, the line is not very visible under a shirt.
For some reason, this bra doesn't give me the pinchy armpit feel that I get from my Lucy in the same time. I can wear it all day without discomfort.
My only complaint is projection- it's not bad (like Cleo Lucy), but the bra migrates a bit south on me over the course of the day, which fir me is generally a symptom of not enough projection centered near the gore.). But comfy and cute enough this is going into my everyday rotation for sure!
