The band on this bra runs a bit tight and would make my back sore if I wore it for long. After breaking it in it's not as tight anymore

Fits really well. Started off with a 32G since I wear the Juna in 30GG and figured I would need a similar size as they are both lightly padded. It proved too big in the cups though, and I exchanged it for this 32FF. The band feels perfect on the loosest hook and the center gore lies flat. It's very comfortable and very pretty. I like the colorway a lot.

The only negative thing to say is that it pushes the boobs a little apart, not creating an east-west look but a little less projected cleavage than I'm used to with my unpadded Cleos. It's a very subtle thing ... though and can of course also be convenient. If I use a clip to make a racer back, the cleavage is like the unpadded bras. The profile is also flatter than an unpadded bra, but only slightly.

The straps are a little too far apart but not uncomfortably so, and they don't slip off. They adjust all the way. There is a small ruffle on the straps that look nice.

I bought the matching heigh waisted briefs and it's a beautiful set.

I've worn it twice when writing this.

B. Very very gorgeous bra, but the cups were too small for me. Band was nice and tight, and the bra material was very comfortable though, so I'll try to reorder in 28DD to see how that fits. I'm getting the sense that I need to size up in Cleo bras...

I appreciate high center gore and wide cups so much. Cup fabric is soft yet strong, feels like quality product. Cups are bit too big as I cant fill them fully, but they'll only need small alterations, this bra is a keeper.

Ruffled shoulder straps are narrow enough not to feel too heavy and to be pretty. I don't particularly like the colour, but overall it's nice piece of lingerie.

I love the way this bra looks, it's not frumpy like a lot of other bras I'm able to find in my size. The band is slightly itchy, but after a few minutes in it, I don't notice again until the end of the night when I'm dying to take any bra off and go to bed. I haven't found pokeys anywhere, and I love the way it makes the boobs look. You can KIND of see the stitching/embroidery on it when I'm wearing an extremely tight shirt, but I usually have a tank top on under anything, and then you can't see it at all. All around my favorite bra. I haven't had any bad stretching yet, but I've only had it for a month or so now.

The bra looks a lot better in person than it does in photos. The cups and gore have black net going over them and the interplay between the black and the purple looks great. The back is black rather than purple. The straps have a ruffled detail on them that makes them less boring than regular straps.

The padding seems to be the standard Cleo padding, it is similar to the Juna. However, I find that it is quite obvious where the top of the cup ends if I'm wearing a light t-shirt over it. The detailing on the top od the cup doesn't help

The band on this bra ... is true to size. I'm 28" around the ribs and this 28G is quite tight on me, as it should be. However, I've also noticed that the band is quite thin at the back, and this combination makes it a little uncomfortable; I'm hopeful that once the bra stretches out a little it will be a bit more comfy.

I think Freya suits me better than cleo. The wires are a little wider than they should be for my shape and this allows some of my breast tissue to hang around near my armpits.

Although this is technically a half cup, I think it offers more coverage than most of the half, cups that are out there, it's more 2/3 than 1/2. I like this because all the half-cups I have tried before seemed to offer less support than this one. The cups are pretty open on top, which is good for my breast shape since closed cups ten to cut into my breast tissue and give me quadboob.

The straps are quite thin compared to what I'm used to. They have this ruffled detail on them wich makes them quite cute, and it isn't noticeable under shirts, but it makes it much harder to adjust them. This could be viewed as a good or a bad thing. On one hand, it is hard to adjust them at first, on the other hand, they are more likely to remain at the proper length once you have adjusted them.

I think my bra sustained a little mistreatment before it got to me (this was an online order). The padding near the bottom of the left cup seems to have a bit of a crease that should not be there. It doesn't seem to affect the shape of the bra. It is hardly even noticeable when I look at it but I can feel it quite well. I decided to keep it despite this because I got it on a sale and it doesn't seem to affect the fit.

hmm.. not sure why it says this did not fit. Other than it runs a bit tight in the band and thus I said I can do it up..but feels a bit tight. I have a bra extender on it- now..hope to stretch it a bit. As its a great bra.

I love the fit. gives a beautifully rounded(but not fake) shape. the wings on the side on me could do to be a little higher. But that and the tightness of the band are the only things I'd change if had a choice. I wasn't sure if I was keen on the big embroidered bows at the top of the cup.. but I like the fit so much, I overlook it.. and they actually look better in reality.
