AW2013 - Pink unpadded balconette with a rose print
More...
This bra is discontinued.
This bra is the most open on top of all the Cleo bras I've had, including Lucy, Lily, Bella, Meg, and Melissa. The lace on top is loose on me. I am average to full on bottom, but can fill full on top bras by sizing down. This fits most like the Meg in the cups, and most like the Melissa in the band. I love it, and wish it was a bit more closed on top.

This bra is a great bra, I really love Cleo brand, particularly Marcie-esque bras. The only thing about this bra that didn't work for me is the band size, I'm just not a 30 in Cleo.

This is a very pretty bra, but unfortunately it didn't fit me.

This bra seems much more similar to the Floris than the Marcie although it is a sister cut of both. It is quite taller than the Marcie, very open on top and perhaps a bit deeper. Didn't work for my short roots.

This bra is so pretty! The fit is similar to my Panache Jasmine, but these cups shape better. The minor negative is that Ellis's band is shorter, and the sides are shorter as well. Also, the underwires aren't quite long enough to enclose all of my tissue. But - the band is really, really firm and supportive. The thing I love about this bra that will have me buying this design again and again is the fantastic uplift and rounded shaping it provides. It's also soft, lightweight, and quite comfortable. I think I need to go up a size in cups/

This honestly is the most gorgeous bra ever. So much more opulent than in pictures!
This is actually my second round with the Ellis, after it being the first bra on my ABTF journey in 28DD.
I have wide, even breasts with tall roots.
The 30DD gaps slightly on top--may be best for FoT shapes. Considering I originally tried the 28DD, going down a cup size just makes it too small. However, the gapping is not enough to make me not wear the bra. Does prove an issue for very fitted shirts, however.
Typical round, Cleo shape. It's a shame this bra was discontinued--so, so gorgeous!
edit 2015 05 31: For some reason, I think this bra gives me a more projected shape than many of my other non moulded bras. It keeps the tissue very straight forward. Amazing!

I'm generally not a flower or pink girl, but I really do enjoy this print. The band is tight (typical of Cleo). The cup is open on top, which causes some wrinkling for me (but not to terrible I wouldn't wear).

Cleo and I get along pretty well. I got this new online but non returnable so I got a 32 E because a few of the cleos I tried were too small in the 30 band. I wish I had gotten the 30 instead because I haven't gotten as much wear out of it as I am used to with my Lily.

Very beautiful bra, slightly small in cup for me (gore doesn't tack right and I have little quadboob),but still wearable. More beatiful in person than in the picture. Wires are on narrow side (for english bras), lace on the top of cups is very FOT friendly.

This is probably my best-fitting bra. I am even, narrow, and projected and this bra requires A LOT of projection and upper fullness. Although I measure 28:9, I wear this bra in 28:8 because the narrowness of the wires and the cup projection are almost perfect for me in the 28FF Ellis. I say "almost" because 1) the wires are a tiny bit wide, 2) I still need a bit more immediate bottom projection, and 3) the top lace gapes a bit, especially near the center gore (but it doesn't really bother me).
Now I just need to track down the elusive 28FF Cleo Bella, which I hear is rumored to be similar to my Ellis...
