I have been meaning to try the Cleo/Cleo by Panache bras for a bit. I came across a decent quality second hand Juna Balconette Bra in size 30FF and decided to give it a try.

The bra is kind of basic looking, plain black with a vertical seam running up and down the middle of the cup that is also visable on the outside. There is that classic little black how on the top of the 3inch gore between the cups. There is a 1inch wide piece of lace sewn onto and stretching down the top of each cup. Half of it is kind of floral pattern edging, ... the rest mesh-like with some tiny circular cut outs. (Hard to describe those details, ill try to ass a picture) I measured the cups at 6 inches tall before the lace and the lace adds about another inch making the cups total to 7inches tall. The additional lace may make this balconette bra even more FOT friendly. I believe I am even between top and bottom, but functionally FOB due to my root placemeant. On my period I do gain some more topfullness, or if i gain or lose weight in my chest it seems to fluctuate in the top the most. I tend to keep my eye out for bras that can maybe compensate for that.

The 30FF cups seem to fit my left breast but I always have some empty space in the bottom of the cups on the right. The wires are not too wide, which I need. the straps are a bit farther apart than my preference but I think that is just the balconette style.

This bra brings my breasts fully into the cup and against my chest. After breastfeeding i have stretch marks around the base and center of my breasts. In poorly fitting bras this has left me with a deflated look and spill over the tops of cups. The Juna brings all the tissue up and in to create a beautiful roundness that i haven't seen upon myself in years!

This has been my every day bra for a few years and is holding up very well!

German only:

Gefällt mir nicht:
-Das Band ist sehr dehnbar, bereits nach einem Monat konnte ich ihn problemlos auf dem letzten Haken schließen
-Der Steg lag nicht richtig an und hat sich ständig in mein Brustbein gegraben
-Auch unter den Achseln hat der Bügel gepiekst, obwohl dieser nicht zu lang war
-Die Verarbeitung war relativ schlecht, es standen Fäden heraus
-Die Passform war bei mir eher unvorteilhaft und nicht wie auf den Werbebildern

Gefällt mir:
-Der Stoff war ganz angenehm

Pretty good for projected breasts, as padded bras go. Seams don't show that much through shirts. Just too small for me.

My first cleo and the fit and quality is excellent! I'm writing this after working a whole shift and it's still super comfortable. The fabric is super soft. And I adore the colors, super vibrant. I might technically need a little more center fullness, but that's super knit-picky .

Review for the 30FF beige. I got this bra used (fairly well used by the looks of it), so the band is probably stretched out quite a bit more than a new bra would be. The bra itself is very comfortable despite the poor technical fit, and the material is very soft. The only real discomfort I have is from the high gore, which sits on my breast tissue in the centre. This is a 2 part cup, not including the lace. The cups seem a bit shallow right at the wires, and I noticed that I pushed them down during the day out of my IMF. The wires were also a little wide for me. The lace doesn't lay flat, but I've read that is common with this bra, even when the cups fit. Overall, too shallow if you need a lot of projection/depth at the wire, but very comfortable.

Gah how I wish this fit. The material is so soft and silky its like theres nothing there. ALL BRAS SHOULD BE THIS SOFT! When I first put it on its not too bad, but as the day goes on I fall more and more out and into the middle creating the appearance that I have suddenly developed a third boob. I'm thinking it might be because the bottom and near the gore of the cups run more on the shallow side and I need more projection on the bottom and center. I'm assuming not very friendly for center fullness. I find the band pretty stretchy. Although I'm pretty sure going up a cup and down in the band wont change the fact that there is some shape mismatching going on here. The upper lace panel also makes no sense it just sort of flaps around and sticks up luckily its not noticeable under shirts but its still annoying.

Great t-shirt bra. I think it actually accommodates a pretty good amount of projection. I think it's good for soft tissue too. Runs a bit small in the cup.
