The Cleo Kayla is a really, really pretty bra, and for the most part, I really like to wear it. The stretch lace does a great job of encapsulating my soft tissue, full on top breasts, which is always a plus. The underwires are too wide, but that's something I've found is consistent with bras from British companies. In terms of quality, Kayla is decent, but I wouldn't say that it's a bra that'll last for an exceptionally long time. I'd say that I take pretty good care of my bras (hand washing them, not wearing them back to back), and I've just now reached the last set ... of hooks after a little over a year and a half of owning the Kayla; I have some bras that I've had for longer and worn about as much that are only on the first or middle set of hooks. Also, the bad does feel a bit flimsy, even when it's tight. The straps are very thin compared to most bras I have and are incredibly flimsy. Luckily, this doesn't bother me too much, but I could see how it could.

In terms of shape, the Kayla is very round for a non padded bra, which is exceptionally important to me as I love having boobs to the sky cleavage and a round, round, round profile (both not quite there for Kayla but are acceptable for my high standards) and basically live in Freya Deco Vibes. The Kayla is comparable to the Cleo Lily in this regard, in my opinion.

Mostly, I like the fit of my Kayla. One thing that I notice with it, though, is that my boobs tend to move away from the center after I've worn it, which is strange because in bras with lower gores like the Freya Deco Vibe, for instance, they move towards the center. I've attached some pictures of this.

I got this bra quite a while ago and have worn it on a regular basis, but just now remembered that I haven't written a review of it.

Shape info: narrow root (Omega shape?), high on chest, pendulous

I'm so glad I bought this bra.
Technically fit-wise it isn't perfect, but I think it comes pretty close to being perfect and it is very comfortable. The few fit issues that I did notice (gore doesn't tack completely, maybe a tiny bit too wide at the center front) don't cause any pain or too much instability, so I mark this bra as fitting.

*What's good about this bra:*
* It is made of a ... very soft, smooth fabric on the lower cup and lightweight lace on the top part of the cups.
* It is VERY comfortable to wear. It doesn't slide down in the front (enough space/projection in the lower part of the cup) and that is a huge plus.
* Its fabric is printed with a pattern in a lovely color combination (oh if I could count the times when I've found something that comes kind of close to fitting but is a terrible color/pattern for me...). I love the look of it! : )
* The straps are fully adjustable! That is great.

*The only cons I can think of:*
* The straps sometimes slide off my shoulders. No idea where's the issue - the band seems to be snug and in place, the straps are well-adjusted, I think. Also they don't seem to be placed too far apart. It tends to happen with movement. If that happens and I don't have a chance to put the strap back immediately, the cup fabric tends to flop over downwards after a bit and then awkward side-effects of that tend to happen. : |
* The hook&eye closure has stretched out a bit after wearing it for a while. I don't know by how much, but it is visibly distorted. I've seen articles online saying that if this happens the bra band is too small, but I don't think that is the case here. The band is comfortable.

This bra's measurements have been altered

I wouldn't call this an alteration, but the bra might've changed a tiny bit since I got it and I thought I should indicate that. I've been wearing this bra for a while now and the hook&eye closure has stretched out a bit - can't tell how much exactly but it is visibly distorted. I thought that might influence how long the band measurements turn out to be.

Me: very projected and narrow-rooted, even to FOT, center-full, soft tissue.

By all measures, this one fits. It fits better than any of my other bras. The gore tacks gorgeously, and the cups are great on the sides and top. The depth seems perfect at the apex and the top. (This is the only Cleo deep enough for me.) The cups have a little wrinkling in the bottom near the underwire, smoothing out as they approach the apex.

As well as it appears to fit... it's just not particularly comfortable. I keep putting it on then taking it off to put on something that doesn't fit as well but I like better: Cleo Blake, CK Portia, etc. I also like the Cleo Kayla in 30GG better even though it's pretty obviously too big for me. It's not as supportive because it's too big, but the band feels better.

Maybe there are subtle fit issues going on here that I can't detect with the naked eye, but can only feel.

I'm so glad that this was recommended to me! I have close set, very projected, even breasts with narrow and short roots, so I've struggled mainly with depth and wire size on past bras. The wires on this are narrow and they aren't the shortest, but they're short enough that this is comfortable and not digging into my armpits. Because I'm close set, the center gore digs into one of my breasts a little, but I've had that problem with most non-plunge bras. The straps on this are a little wide for me, which causes a small amount of gaping at the top, but overall I love the fit.
