Cleos seem to be the only bras that have enough projection for me. The Lily is comfortable and pretty and gives outstanding lift and support. It has stood up well over time. Very well made.

This is a great bra for evenly full, projected boobs! It was a really good, true-to-size fit on me when I was smaller. I got a really nice, rounded shape in it - probably the best I've ever had from an unlined bra. It looks great under t-shirts.

My main beef with Cleos (apart from most of the colours and designs failing to appeal to me) is the two-hook band and (make that two) the way the wings seem to bite me under the arms. I had very sore underarms from my Cleo Ellis the first few times I wore it, but this Lily ... was much easier to break in. I didn't get much discomfort at all wearing it new.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be particularly compatible with tall-rooted boobs - I had slight cutting in when I first bought it which only got worse when I gained a cup size.

Appearance-wise I feel this is one of the less obnoxious Cleo colourways - the blue is nice, pretty similar to the blue Marcie that came out a few seasons back. The pink is more neon-y than it looks on the Cleo model, but it wasn't loud enough to turn me entirely off the bra.

The fabric on this is nice - soft to touch, but firm enough to maintain shape throughout the day.

This review is for the coral w/plum trim colorway and the fit is consistent with the turquoise one that I have. It's more firm than the Meg and much more firm than the Juna. It gives great support and good lift, and it's freaking adorable.
The only issue I have with this one is how wide set the straps are but at least they're cute. When it fit, it was perfect for my projected, round boobs. Now I need a 34H for postmenopausal weight gain.

This is for the turquoise colorway. It has a very firm band with 2 hooks. The cup width is narrow and the cups are nice and deep. The straps are pretty wide set, but at least they're cute. When it fit, it was perfect for my projected, round boobs. Now I need a 34H for postmenopausal weight gain.

This bra is adorable! Great print and wow, amazing shape. I find it minimizes me a bit which I like. But after a while the underwires under my armpit kill me. It's not touching my armpit, it's an ich or two lower but it leaves a horrible red mark where the underwire ends. I tried to bend it as per some blogs I read but I fear I made it even worse. As for the cups they wrinkle slightly on one side but not enough to size down. I hope to find another cleo with the same shape but lower underwires. The straps are too far ... apart despite being tall and broad shouldered. Despite all of these, I still wear it because it's so cute and gives such great shape.

After breaking this bra in more it no longer pokes me. It also no longer wrinkles I think due to tissue migration. I am glad I never returned it. I don't wear it a ton as I mostly wear black bras and the bright straps limit me but it s still great to have a fun bra in the drawer.

This bra does not fit me. The cups have empty space on both sides; if I pull them up to where my breast should end, they look way too big. There's gapping on the bottom. I don't fill out the top at all. Despite this, with the bra hooked, they actually give me serious support, great shape, and less back fat or armpit hangover than the Gs I have tried (including another Lily). Figure that one out. It is also the bra that squashes my breasts the least and that actually doesn't drag my straps down into my shoulders.

I won't be trying any more of this model (or ... Cleos), not because they are sub-quality but because they are simply incompatible with my breasts. From what I've seen, this model is one of the go-to projected bras for the Cleo line, and it's way too shallow in anything approaching my actual cup depth. If you're built for this bra, I recommend it. It seems pretty decent, and it's way looser in the band than the Bella. If you're as projected as I am, you won't have any luck with it.
