I bought this along with the Cleos Lily and Marcie in a first attempt at figuring out my shape. The Lucy is quite a nice-looking bra, a balconette style like the Lily and Marcie, but it seems to be a bit wider and shallower than the other two bras. It's also known as a bra more suited to full-on-bottom shapes.

On me, however, this bra was so wrong it's a little hard for me to review it properly! It slid down my chest as soon as I put it on, as if my boobs were repelling it. After I hoiked it up into the right place in my inframammary ... fold, I found I got a very bizarre triple boob effect from the seams. It was obviously a cup size too small so that might be part of the problem - yet the Marcie in this size was also too small yet didn't have quite such a violent reaction to my boobs! On the plus side, the gore is shorter and less annoying than the higher gores of the Marcie and Lily.

Although this is one of the weirdest bras I've ever tried on, at some point I'd still like to try it in a cup size larger just so I can be sure it's the style of the bra that's wrong and not just the size. Certainly a nice everyday bra if it suits your shape.

Causes no lines under t-shirts, but feels a bit too tight sometimes. It is comfortable, other than the slight tightness.

This definitely does not fit my boobs. The wires are (I think) a smidge too narrow and the gore too wide. The straps are almost off my body completely! The top wrinkles/gapes like mad as well-it has a very round shape, which doesn't work with my tall roots.

The purple colour is fantastic! So bright and vibrant.

Overall I think this bra is a bit too small. I get a slight quadboob effect. I don't know if sizing up would help or not. The shape this bra gives for me is quite pointy. The wires to not sit properly.

I'm still working on figuring out my best fit, and although based on my measurements, my recommended band is a 28, I find I much prefer a 30 band. This bra was too tight, pinching my back and folding the skin there. However, the cup was almost perfect. Enough quad boobing to bug me if I inhaled, but the top of the cup lay flat on exhale. The wires were also just slightly too short on the sides for me, leaving breast tissue to spill over the top. I might try this bra in a 30DD, though - going up a band and cup size may fix all the slight issues and make it perfect.

First off, the color (a Bravissimo exclusive) is every bit as neon as it looks! The shocking color is fun and young looking, and this bra in general is very pretty, so I've decided to keep it.

This bra gives great shape and lift, esp. for an unlined bra, and I am very happy with the cup fit and shape. I get a slight bit of wrinkling towards the armpit side of one cup, but it's so far back that it doesn't show and so I don't mind it. Fabric is nice and breathable, which makes it great for summer months or anytime you don't want ... that cumbersome padded feeling.

My only complaint is that the band is very tight on me. My ribcage, fitted comfortably snug, measures 27", and pulled tight after exhaling is 26". This makes it difficult for me to choose bands because I'm right on the line between sizes 28 and 30. This particular 28, I find myself taking off after just a couple of hours. I've ordered an extender (a first for me) because I love the look and color of this bra.

A 30D in purple is on its way to me as I write. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />

*** UPDATE ***
The 30D is practically my dream bra!

Band is really snug! I am wearing it with an extender (2 hooks more). The top seems to be cutting in a little, as my breasts start higher up. The underwires are ok for me, the sides encloses my breast tissue well.

However, the underwire on the right gave me a little bruised feeling under my boob a few days ago. I feel that after wearing it for too long, they start to hurt and feel constricting. I am in between sizes for bands so.. maybe I should try a band size or a cup size up? (when I have the cash!)

All in all, this bra is really well made and pretty. I love the purple! It is also my first unpadded bra and I really like it. I would like to try more unpadded bras.

I love the color, but it's a bit to closed on the top edge. I'm debating between listing it, and altering the gore or cups so that it's a bit more open.

This bra fits almost perfectly, except that the lace edge at the top is too tight. It just barely cuts in and pushes down, causing a slight fold over the seam where the lace meets the bottom of the cup. The flaws can't be seen under clothes.

Tried this in the bright pink.

I have very slight wrinkling near the nipples in this bra, and then quadboobing at the top and my armpit fat is all over the place. Going up to a 28E gives me too much wrinkling.

Too deep for my shallow breasts.

Band is comfortable and doesn't seem to stretch much.
