This bra is discontinued.
This is just a weird fit. It cuts into my breast tissue on the sides and middle, but there seems to be a space in the top of the cup that I don't quite fill. It may also be too shallow for me, since there is an odd wrinkle in the bottom of one cup.

This bra is a really strange fit, the cups are tall and wide, even with an extender they seem to come back too far. It doesn't create any cleavage really and when I scoop and swoop I get some digging/ slight quad boob on the little bit of cleavage I can get. I think it's is really separated and doesn't lift or push anything in. All around the bra is just a bad fit.

I noticed that when I started looking at photos of it on here. I hadn't researched it much since it was part of a grab bag order.
I seriously think everybody who ordered a grab bag has gotten or is getting a Jude. Nobody can get rid of their overstock, it's that bad.
oddly enough, the Cleo Jude isn't too bad for me. I can wear it if I size up to 28E.
I've tried it in 30E and 30F now neither worked, maybe a 30FF could work, but I don't know that I'd get any cleavage out of it.
This bra gets a bad rap because of its shallow cut, but for some reason this bra fits me like a charm! It's insanely comfortable and perfect for my shape. It covers all of my breast tissue on the sides, something I rarely can find in a bra. It's completely perfect for me!

Way too much gaping for me, band is very tight and I have to keep scooping and swooping

Seamless nude color bra! I had to cut off the lace detail so it doesn't show through white shirts. And the straps are a bit wide set for my narrow shoulders so I had to add something to the back to bring the should straps closer together. I could have gone with a bigger cup because my bigger boob feels a bit constricted but the smaller side fits well.
After wearing for longer, I don't like the straps at all, they cause the cups to angle away and its not comfortable. I will be adding a racer back bra strap converter to fix this...

I don't understand why so many manufacturers put white trim on "nude" bras! I know it looks cute, but it totally defeats the purpose of a nude bra when they do that. Kudos to you for cutting it off! I've done that before myself. ;)
Really thought for the first few minutes I had it on that it was a perfect fit - I was wrong. It's a shame because it is gorgeous and the material is very soft. It is simply not compatible with my shape: I do not fill the bottom (causes wrinkling, there is almost 3/4 an inch difference between where the underwire should end and where it actually is, therefore cutting into my skin while sitting down too. Seems too big then it tends to cut on top and do a small quadboob effect. Sizing up or down would be useless, it is just not for me.

Awww so bummed for you! It looks cute on you, but totally fits you like it did me :-( Sorry it didn't work out. Jude's a tough bird to figure out for sure.
I know! I think it might be too shallow for me, with a shirt it makes me look very wide (almost constricted?) and it looks silly with my tiny waist. Considering trying something with more depth to get them more close-set.
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.

I could be wrong, but I think I remember hearing that the Jude was a disaster on pretty much everyone. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't want to tarnish a good bra's rep.
Unlined Cleo's are pretty nice, so don't give up yet. I think marcie is the one labeled FOT friendly. Lily and Meg are even friendly. Lucy fob friendly.
Don't let Jude mold your impression of Cleo. Jude is an extremely difficult shape to fit. It's very close on me. I am quite shallow. Jude is a little too shallow on bottom for me, and a bit too shallow by the gore. But it's not a bad bra. I still wear mine around. It's just not for everyone's shape. It's Cleo's biggest mistake, IMO, and it does feel like a cheap bra. Neve was Jude's replacement - but I can't recommend it for you because it's even shallower on bottom than Jude. I can see how Neve would work on the smaller/more typically shallow end of the size range.
If you want to try a molded Cleo, Juna might work. I believe it's kind of labeled or thought of as a shallow/wide bra, but it's not nearly as shallow and wide as Jude. Otherwise, the unlined Cleos are highly rated around here. I wouldn't know, I need a wider shape than that.
Yes, Jude is super shallow. I think they took a design that was specifically created as a modified push-up (really push-together) for small bust cup sizes, a range where shallow breast shape is very much the norm, and just scaled that sucker up and up and up without realizing that this would be a laughably terrible fit on actual full bust anatomies.
I had the same experience with the Jude, where I didn't come back to Cleo for years. Try the Maddie, I think you'd have better luck.
Unfortunately this bra was too small in the cups for me. I'm between a D and DD cup and this one seemed almost more like a 30C to me.

Plungy without too much cleavage.

I tried this bra on in many different sizes over the years before I saw it for very cheap on zulily.com and just bought it. I liked this size the most. It wrinkles a little but at the bottom but every single bra without push-up padding I have does that. If I lift the side of the cups up further, the wrinkling is less obvious, but it pushes the straps around oddly. Usually I'm not bothered by this bra.
Hate: the color of the straps. The lace is not really visible under most light-colored clothes, so that's nice. The straps are, however. Ew.
I feel like this is the first t-shirt kind of bra for me. The band is just right and the material is comfortable.
Me: 27.5"-33.5", close-set and full. Usually stuck in 30-bands but I like a tight proper-sized bra when I can find one. Similar shapes may like this style.
It's not the sexiest or most practical bra but it's not uncomfortable so it's great for sleeping.

Cleo Jude is oddly cut. It requires a shallow, broad rooted, shape, far apart spaced breasts, and diagonal fullness...it's weird.
