This is the first molded-cup bra I've gotten since I've learned my true size. It's black and magenta, and gorgeous, but it just doesn't fit. I definitely need a larger cup, because it seems like it's at least one, and maybe two, cup sizes too small. The band is uncomfortable, not because it's too tight, but it is stiff.

The underwires are what make this the worst. They sit too low on the sternum and feel way too tight, but they are a bit too wide as well. I have a medium-wide root, and the wires were way, way too wide. I'm also a bit too projected and FOT for this bra. It's best suited to a 32G with wide roots, shallow projection, and FOB. I'm sad, because it's a gorgeous bra.

It just feels like a cheap bra. I'm not impressed with this first exposure to Cleo. Maybe it's because it's brand new, and it'll possibly get softer with time, but I'm not a fan of the Jude.

Gore was altered more narrow by the previous owner. I'm leaving it as is right now. I think my boobs like the narrower gore. I also think the sides of wires would be too far out if the gore were "normal."

Too shallow in the bottom of cup. A little too tall. Sides of cups cut into underarm creases, but it's bearable.

Wore for a day. Have creases in the bottoms of the cups as my need for immediate projection and a lower apex basically tilts the cups forward slightly, causing the creases. Also, wire is probably too rounded right at the base, as well as the cup being too shallow there.

Otherwise, seems fine.
Will have to decide if it supports enough that I can accept the creasing and/or wear it lower.

This bra doesn't fit with my shape. I need a Cleo Lily rather than the Jude. It's comfortable, but the cups do not fit my breast shape at all. The sides of the cup come up too high for my liking.

The hot pink details are cute against the black... but this bra has never fit very well.

When I was heavier, it would often feel like the lower wires were getting pushed down and into my rib cage. I still used it for lower neckline shirts that my other bras would show under in the center.

For awhile, as I lost weight, this was my go-to interim bra just because the molding and broken-in softness made it tolerable to wear throughout the day. But while it doesn't dig in now, the band is clearly too large for me and I'm no longer filling the cups. At the same time, the cups remain very high and to the side at a location where the motion of my arm hits against the upper out sides of the molded cups. This seems to be a common issue I have with the @Cleo/@Panache bras I have tried.

The first thing I noticed about this bra was how high the wires came up on the sides, because it felt like it was sawing my arms off! I'm a narrow-shouldered girl, and if I adjusted the straps to a comfortable height (a height where they weren't constantly falling off my shoulders) then the problem was even worse. The wires also seem to be too wide for me, b/c although when I first put the bra on I'm spilling out a little bit, as the day goes on my boobs fall onto the sides. Personally, I prefer bras with three hooks instead of two, so that was also ... a hitch for me, but there were so many other problems with this bra that I let that one slide. The band runs quite tight (I only ever wear this with an extender) so I would advise sizing up in the band if you get it. I also have a lot of empty space at the bottom that I just can't fill, and whether this is a size or shape issue I'm unsure of. Because the band is tight the center gore digs in and is quite uncomfortable, especially for long periods of time. I think this bra was just the wrong shape for me, which is a pity because it's a fine t-shirt bra for those looking for one.

The wires in this bra are WAY too tall. Where the cup goes around the side and under my arm is so tall that it folds or buckles because it is too tall for me. The cups pull my boobs apart and gives me a kind of pointed shape. This is not a bra that works for my shape at all. The cups seemed to be the correct size otherwise. The band seems to fit okay.

The band is too big and is very stretchy. The cups are too far apart for my narrow set boobs so the gore doesn't lie flat. There is a lot of gapping at the top of the cup and a little at the side of the cup. Straps are fully adjustable but they are too far apart. Only two rows of hooks. It might fit if I went down a cup AND band size.
