I ordered this one because it was suggested for some of my breast shape issues, like a long torso and wide root. I have never bought a bra that didn't have some sort of molding or padding, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect support-wise. When I tried it on, it was clear that the cup size was way too small, with a huge quad-boob effect, which I thought interesting because I have another Cleo bra in the same size that doesn't do that. So, I can't really give a very good review until I get this in a different size. However, other than that, it seems like it would be a good bra. I was surprised at how much support it gave, and it wasn't itchy at all (something I had read in a review and was a little worried about). And it's very pretty. I love the lacy detail. I'm returning this one though, just because I need to go up a cup size (or two!).

I love Lucy. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> I have found that generally Cleo unpadded (and even the padded ones in the Leila, Nina family) suit my shape very well. I've experimented with other brands, but I keep coming to the conclusion that Cleo is great for me.

This particular bra gives a very nice rounded shape, and is extremely supportive for such a cute looking, compact bra. Perfect for taking with you if you travel a lot. I have difficult breasts for the center gores to tack, since I have a mild case of pectus excavatum. I know, it's apparently a condition that's more apparent with small boobs, but I guess I have it too. On top of that, I think my boobs are pretty close set, but Lucy has no problems tacking nicely. I love it.

I will be selling this 30FF since it's time for me to move on to 30G's... I'll be buying a 30G one soon.

It's too small https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I thought I could make it work since I have the Lucy in a 32F, which is a little too small in the cup as well, but for some reason the 30FF feels even smaller. It's definitely too small in the band as well - I can fasten it, but it just feels uncomfortable to wear. I find I can only fit 30 bands if the material is very stretchy, such as Curvy Kate's Showgirl line.

That said, there's something really beautiful and classic about the white colorway in the Cleo Lucy. I'll probably end up ordering one in the 32FF. And this one will be a nice bra for someone else once I list it.

Fit when I first got it, but thanks to tissue migration it's started to cut in a little bit on top. Fairly wide underwires but not uncomfortably so. Even stretch on the entire cup sets this apart from the Marcie, which I found to have too much of a stretch differential between the bottom/side of the cup and the upper lace part.

i would normally have gotten a 30F but i was reading a blog post, and the girl said she sizes up because she's full on top, and it was on sale for a discounted price on amazon in a 30FF (free 2-day shipping? i love amazon prime!) it seems to be working out great! if i slouch it starts to gape a bit at the top, but other than that, the cups fit quite well, and for the first time, NOT A HINT OF QUAD BOOB (even in the big one!)

if i were to change anything with the bra it'd be the straps. i am cursed ... (or in this case, blessed) with enormously broad swimmer's shoulders, and if the straps were any further apart they would be slipping off - they are just a little wider apart than i'd like. they're also wider than i'd like, but i suppose i'll just have to suck it up and get used to that.

i have this bra in navy with pink. i am not a big fan of super girly things, but the bra is mostly navy and the pink (or the tiny flowers) isn't overwhelming. very cute :]

just got it today so no clue about how it'll wear with time, but i've been reading good things, so hopefully it'll last.

update: the bra rubs a touch under my right arm. i only notice it when i wear it the whole day, and it was worst the first time and has been getting progressively better. i sized up in the cup according to brasihate's suggestion, but i think i could maybe have gotten away with my normal size. i'll try that next time, i guess.

update 2: i've worn this bra maybe 7 times and it no longer rubs under my right arm. i still think i should try getting a 30F and altering the gore to turn the cups inward a bit to minimize quad-boobing.

NAVY/PINK: Bra fits very well while standing up straight. Lace gapes while bending over, lying down, etc. However, I still love this bra as it gives a great shape and is very cute.

BLACK: The black lucy runs smaller than the colors. This bra *almost* fits but the lace cuts in at the top giving me mild quadraboob. The band also feels tighter than on the colored Lucys.

Overall the Lucy is comfortable enough for daily wear, and fits relatively true to size although you should consider sizing up a cup size in the black if you are on the fence in other Cleos.

Also, others have mentioned that the underwires can dig in; I experienced this at first too. Try bending the underwires, it helps a ton.

Runs one cup size small. Band is too big for me and rides up but I do still wear it often and will be altering it soon. The cups fit perfectly. I also tried a 28 G and while the band fits on that one the cups are off. I am not sure why the difference, the 28 does have a slightly wider center gore. I usually prefer padded bras but this one gives an awesome shape despite the lack of it. Very pretty bra! I have it in berry but will keep an eye out for more colors in a 28 G. Underwires are wider than my Fantasie and Curvy Kate bras but it doesn't seem to affect comfort or fit in my case...will definately buy this one again.

I have this in yellow and i love the colour. Unfortunately this size doesn't fit me. The band feels to tight, and I'm not sure it will stretch out enough with wear. And either way, the top of the cup digs in to my breast so those are too small as well, even though the lace is a bit stretchy, and not as hard as it is on the Bonnie for example.

Other than that I love how this feels and the shape it gives my breast.

I think I should try this in a 32FF for a correct size.

I have a 27.25" underbust measurement and originally ordered this in a 28FF. When it arrived the cups cut in a little at the top and the band gave me some unsightly lumping due to how much it cut into my sides and back. I exchanged it for a 30FF and feel this band size feels better while still firmly holding everything up. The tops of the cup are smooth across when I'm standing straight, but there's a slight bit of gapping if I'm hunched forward. I could probably exchange yet again and try the 30F, but it's not enough of an issue for me to go through exchanging it again. The seams don't show through my clothing, either. All that said, I LOVE the color and the overall fit.
