This is the second size I've owned this bra in. It is such an adorable bra! It runs bigger in the band than most Cleos: a lot like an original Maddie. The cups run slightly wider and shallower than non-padded Cleos. I love the two-part vertical-seamed cup; it gives great shape.

I wore this infrequently because it got too big for me quickly as I lost weight. I wore it maybe 5-10 times and it's still in great shape. Always hand-washed.

Pleasantly surprised by this bra. I got it in my normal size for Cleo, didn't size up because sometimes other bras can gap at the top part for me. It is extremely comfortable, the wires don't poke at all, and it doesn't come up too high for me even though I have high-set breasts. One of my favorite bras at the moment.

Oh how I wish the Darcy Padded Balconette fit me right! I absolutely love the pattern. It's cute without being TOO ~whimsical. The material is also very comfortable, and the cup width is good without being too tall in the armpits. However, I either need to go up a cup size or the cup shape is too shallow. The quad-boob the Darcy gives me is... shall we say, epic? At first it didn't seem so bad. Then I threw on a top and after a little while, noticed with dismay that I had four boobs https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

But not one to give ... up so easily, I tried it on again last night, thinking maybe it wasn't as bad as I remembered. It wasn't... it was WORSE. Like, from the side my tits form a "B" worse. It's not even the lace edging the cups causing this, because the lace stretches. It seems the top of the cups cut in just so, while the cups are just shallow enough to cause the perfect storm of boob spillage.

The band is also on the bigger side of 30. I felt the most comfortable on the tightest hooks. Do they even make this bra in a 28? Anyway, were I to give Darcy another chance, it would have to be in like a 28H or 30GG, not my "default" size of 30G.

This bra would fit pretty well if not for the massive quadboob I am getting. I don't know if it's because the cup is too small or if the cup just doesn't come up high enough on my ultrasoft boobs. Something weird is happening. The lace doesn't cling to my boobs, it kind of frills out, and so I am getting all this spillage. The band seems too big and stretchy. I may try a different size, but I may also have to accept that this bra is not for me. Sad because it's soooo cuuuuute.
