As soon as I saw the color, I fell in love. As soon as I got it on, I was totally heads over heels. This bra is so comfortable! It's snug and secure. Even though it squishes my boobs a bit, I don't mind: it reminds me of a good sports bra. I don't feel like I'm going anywhere.

The cups are a bit wide as usual, but with the foam padding the cups are made from, it's not really a problem. There's a slight pressure at the top of the cup that's causing a slight amount of quadding, but I'm sure that will go away once this bra ... is worn in. The gore isn't too wide for me, and comes up to a comfortable height. Same of the side underwire, it's a good height and isn't a problem at all.

The foam interior is very soft, and the texture of the material is also plush and comfortable. The bra straps don't have a lot of stretch to them, so they feel a bit firm to me. The 3 piece vertical seamed top is definitely something I'm going to keep my eye on from Cleo (much like my Cleo Cassie swimsuit) and other brands. I feel like this cup style is my go-to for the moment.

The straps are kind of in an awkward place across my shoulder blades: right on top of the edge, so if I move my arms at all the straps slide over my shoulder blades. It hasn't caused any discomfort yet, but we'll see over time.

I'll update after a few washes and longer wears about how it breaks in.

Edit: I notice that the lower cup is a bit shallow on me, and the foam puts pressure on the base of my breast. It's not extremely uncomfortable, but it does become more noticeable as the day goes on. This bra has only been hand washed so far, and an attendant at my local suggested that a gentle machine wash might help once the blue color finishes washing out.
No issues with the straps yet! They still move around, but it's not actually sliding across my skin so it's not causing any chafing.
