30E

Fits

I bought this bra in a 34D and altered the band down to a 30E.
What can I say ... the bra is just amazing. It gives a perfect shape (rounded and slightly uplifted), it's an awesome halfcup shape - not too high-coverage, so it's great for summer and tank tops.
The padding is thin and soft, which makes it super comfortable to wear.
The turquoise color is pretty cute too.

It's a pity Cleo discontinued this cut. Masquerade has two sister-cut-models (Masquerade Georgiana (5471) and Masquerade Angie Balconnet Bra (7171)) but the padding on both is stiffer and I'm not too fond of their designs.

  Hey there :)
  I don't have any before-pics, but the alterations I made are pretty simple. I just altered the band using this awesome how-to by Hagane: http://www.bratabase.com/adventures/entry/1560/
  Instead of sewing by hand I used a sewing machine. That's it. :)
  
  I might consider adding some pictures later ;)
- Oh i see! I always wondered how that was done. I'm too scared I'd screw it up with my shaky hands. ><

This Cleo bra is very cute and soft. The double seams on the cups give a really flattering shape. Since I got this bra used, the band was really stretched out, but I wore it with a rixie clip until I eventually altered it back down to a 28. Ever since I done that, the right cup gaps due to a smaller boob, but not before which was strange.

I wish they continued this bra in other colours! It's really comfy (except the gore is too wide and tall for me).

Didn't fit

I loved this bra while it still fit me. It's very comfortable, and it gave me a divine shape. The top of the cups shows through thin shirts (because of the ribbons and other decorations), but that's the only fault I could find with this bra. Because the cups are cut so open at the top I could still wear it when I became a 30D. I'd say if you have wide root shallow breasts and you can still find a Charlie in your size, grab it.
I wish Cleo still made this so I could get one in my new size.

I really love this bra, the colour is gorgeous, it is short under my arms and the gore is thin enough for me.

The only problem is that I need to size up and I can't find it in an ff, and the straps are not fully adjustable.
