This bra gets a lot of flak for its shape, but it really is quite comfortable if you need wide wires and have less tissue at the tops of your breasts. It seems to run a size small in the cup (I'm usually a 30DD).

Appearance: I have this bra in purple and nude. The purple color is very pretty!

Shape: This bra doesn't really give me any cleavage, but it does give a natural shape that looks good under most clothing.

Comfort: The low gore and leotard back are super comfy. The cups do come up a bit high towards the front of the armpit, so it might not work for you if you have a short torso. On the nude bra, there is a bit of stitching on the underside of the hook panel that was scratchy when the bra was new, but it wore down over time and became less noticeable.

This bra is actually a very pale blue, not white as it looks in pictures.

The straps are fully adjustable, and the fit very standard for a 28F.

See... I should have read the previous reviews before ordering the 28E on this one. It definitely runs small - evident quad-boob effect.
The bra itself seems quite comfortable if it were the right size for me. As it is, the 28E doesn't enclose my breasts as it should, whith the wires being too short on the sides (breast spillage in the under arm) and the cups digging into the breast tissue on the top.
Quite sad... I ordered the short along with the bra - it's lovely and it fits wonderfully (the short, that is).
I ordered it online from the UK and I am in Portugal, otherwise I would return it for the 28F, which would probably fit me much better.
Other than that, it's a nice looking bra, with the magenta brightning up an otherwise "regular" black bra. The fabric is quite nice too, soft, although not as soft as the very nice microfibre on the Cleo Juna, which, by the way, I own in 28E/nude and fits great.

All I have to say is "wow, no" https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I mean this bra? Was so close and yet SO FAR. I pretty much tried the Cleo Jude for shits and giggles because I've seen at least one review where they stated that lol the Jude rarely works for anyone. But I'm like, it doesn't hurt to try, am I right?
So. Scooting this bra on, the first thing I noticed is the way the tops of the bra cups cut in to the boobs. And this is before I scooped and swooped, even. Doing that led to the quadboobilicious effect you'll see in ... my photo. But? How is it that while the top of this bra is cutting into me, the bottoms of the cups are all sorts of wrinkling? I can only conclude that nope, these molded cups DO NOT work with the shape of my boobies.
Which is a shame, because you know what works? The underwires go all the way up my sides, in such a matter that it reigns in my sideboobal areas without causing me discomfort. So I have to ask WHY. Why have the top of the cups cut in like that? If it wasn't for that, I'm pretty sure I could wrangle my breasts into this. I even started thinking "Well WHAT IF I removed the part of the bra that cut into my boobs? Would shit then be awesome??"
Of course, this makes me curious. Are there Cleo bras that have the awesome sideboob containing abilities WITHOUT the awful tightening that occurs at the top of the breasts?? Because THAT would be the bra for me and my wide ass set boobs. Just saying.
To make matters worse, this bra is actually somewhat comfortable, but what with the wonky shape, just. No. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

Bought this from Barenecessities hoping to do a sister size conversion from my Calvin Klein 30DD and finally try some sub-30 bandsizes. Unfortunately this bra's (28E) cup size is definitely too small (yay quad-boob), but the band fits amazingly. I've ordered a 28F so hopefully that one will be a better fit!

I just got this bra through eBay. The width of the cups seems right and the band fits snugly. This is a "moulded t-shirt bra" and would work well for that, however, the way it is molded does not conform to my boobs' (actual or desired) shape, and cuts into the top. I think I would prefer something with a less molded or more open shape on top. I feel like I can't quite fill the cup, but the top cuts in.

The cups are wide too wide and shallow for me so I will be returning this.

The bra is cute and well made. I don't think I should assess the fit since this was so far from fitting me.

The incredibly low center gore was great for me, because I have a very poke-y (it pokes and is poked in return) sternum. (I have pectus carinatum.) The band is snug for a 30, which suits me just fine, since 28-bands seem to fit me better anyway. Still, I have a rather bony ribcage, and the wires often rub against it uncomfortably. I bought this bra at pretty steep discount, so I ended up with the purple leopard print cups and hot pink straps. That's a little louder than I'd like, but I wear pretty thick shirts, so it doesn't matter much.

Not sure what's wrong with the fit of this bra, but it just doesn't work for my shape. Incredibly pretty and quasi-comfortable (given the quad boob). Lightly padded. Band is firm, as with most Panache/Cleo bras.

Not the most comfortable of my bras, but it's not that bad either.

Digs in a little bit along the armpit.

Fits really well at the center gore.
