  1. Love this bra! It's almost perfect for me. It's high enough on the sides to encase my considerable side-boobage, and gives a nicely rounded, projected look. It's also very cute! Will be buying in all of the new colors and patterns. The band, however, is stretchier than I like and I wore it on the tightest hook right away. I tightened it by sewing a shorter elastic over the elastic (thanks, Venusian Glow!) and now I can wear it on the loosest hook and get plenty of support. Super comfortable as well and I just love the way it looks!

    I'm very happy with this bra, though it isn't perfect. On myself, the cups are slightly too far apart in the middle so my boobs spill over ever so slightly over the gore (not really noticeable unless you actually look at it). The top part of the cup also cuts in very slightly, but I'm sure if I went up a cup size it would be too big. Quadboob is normally my biggest challenge in finding a bra that fits, I think my shape is slightly top heavy. That's the extent of my complaints, otherwise I love it. I love the pattern, the color, the shape. It gives ... me a great lift and nice shape. In a lot of other bras I usually find the cup doesn't come up high enough and the "wing" is too low so my armpit chub spills over, but I feel nicely held in with this bra. I prefer higher wires but if that's a problem for you, this might not be the bra for you. I haven't worn it all day yet but I think it will be very comfortable. The band seems firm to me, compared to some of my other bras. I also bought the Ellie and while the bras are very similar, they aren't the same. The band on this one is slightly narrower, and the center gore on the Ellie is a little closer together.

    Didn't fit

    I like this bra, but I don't think it's perfect for me. The wires are a bit too wide, but they aren't uncomfortable. The center gore is higher than I would like and it occasionally digs into my sternum. The lace gapes even though I fill the cups. The print is very cute though and it's comfortable enough that I still wear this bra regularly.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    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.

  5. I purchased this because I originally owned and loved the Ellie. I've recently lost some weight, but ordered my usual 28G. I will be trying a 28FF in a similar style to see if it fits better--I find right now my breasts fill the cups, but the lace looks rather loose on my smaller breast.

    I find that this bra is very comfortable. It is made of a smooth fabric, and the cups are lightly padded. The gore sits fairly low between the breasts and lays flat against my sternum. I love the shape of the cups--rounded without creating crazy cleavage. I do find that it separates the boobs a bit, but my breasts are slightly wide-set, so I feel this suits their natural shape. This is my go-to every day bra.

    Didn't fit

    Good everyday t-shirt bra, but with a few flaws. As many people have mentioned about this and other Cleo Juna variants, the lace along the top of the cup does not lie flat when the cup is the correct size. Also, the straps are a bit wide-set for me, and rub along my arms. The cups seem to run true to size, and so does the band. The wires do not poke. The fabric is soft and smooth, and the light lining/padding makes it comfortable to wear.

    28H

    Didn't fit

    Fit is very similar to the Cleo Sadie in 28H that I have. Construction wise, the biggest different is that the straps on the Darcy are fully adjustable, whereas on the Sadie they are not.

    The band is good and tight, if I were to wear it I would use an extender to extend by 1 hook for the first few weeks/months of wear.

    The right cup on the Darcy sits a bit too high and cuts into the front of my arm. It's not the underwire or strap, its the actual cup. (This is not an issue for me on the Sadie.) I would consider just dealing with it, but I paid $55 for Darcy, and for that price I don't want to be messing with issues like that.

    This bra will be returned, but if in the future I happen to find one for a good deal, I may consider it again.

    30H

    Didn't fit

    So sad this didn't fit! If I had this in a 30GG it would be perfect. But, gaping in the cups, definitely need a cup down. Very comfortable bra for me otherwise. Nice soft fabric, stretchy adjustable straps, quite stretchy band (would be a little worried it would stretch out too easily over time though), cute design. I need my gore a little higher for it to not dig in to my sternum, but this could likely be solved by bending the wires out a bit. Gives a great rounded shape even in the wrong cup size. Nice and high under the arm for my re-migrating breast tissue.
    Unfortunately, ... there seem to be no more 30GGs to be had. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

    Edit: I need this on the 2nd hooks straight away, perhaps even 3rd, so this bra's (brand's?) band does run big. I've decided to keep it though because it works with inserts and the sale price isn't work the return shipping costs. Not perfect - I think I'd actually need a 28GG/H for that - but I can make it work.

    Hasn't set fit

    the first time i saw this bra i knew i had to have it! i love the print, its so pretty! i would say it is similiar to rihanna and ellie but the cups are a bit different, kinda higher on the side, on the armpit, which is better for my armpit fat. it makes my boobs look a lot bigger than they normally are though (bigger than the rihanna and ellie as well). i havent worn it a lot yet so i cant say that much more about.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    Band a bit too tight, seemed to fit fine at first. After wearing it for a short time body of bra started sliding down so experienced a quad boob effect, even though the band was very tight and the top of the cups (lace) was cutting into my breasts.

    Overall not a comfortable fit or bra. I'm not sure why someone would want this much padding in a cup.
