This bra is not owned any more

After I was so happy with my Cleo Leila (6861) I decided to try another Cleo. The Lucy in 32F gave me quadboob, so I went for the 32FF. I can fill it with my larger breast after I scoop and swoop a lot, but only when I keep good posture https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The band feels tighter than the Leila, but still OK. I had tried to make it less wrinkly on my smaller side by tightening the straps, but then it starts rubbing at the sides.
I like the shape this bra gives me, and it fits me well enough to wear it under structured tops, but this style isn't the best for me so I won't get it again.

This bra is gorgeous! It gives a nice rounded shape and the lace is just about perfect - not gaping but not tight. Great for FoB or even shaped ladies. Also recommend it for those with a lot of projection.

EDIT: After wearing it for several weeks, I find the edging of the band super uncomfortable! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> So much so that I'm constantly readjusting it, which causes it to slip down a bit.

Still practically brand new, and I'm still getting used to a band closer to my measurements (I always sized up before). SUPER cute.

Although this bra fits pretty much perfectly (the band feels a bit too tight), it doesn't do anything for the shape of my breasts. It makes them sag and point outwards. Simply not a good fit for my shape.

So, after I purchased and tried this bra in 32E (which cups didn't fit by far!) I ordered the same bra, but in 32FF and in a different color (purple).
First of all, I have nothing much more to say about the design, it's simple but pretty, lightweight, well-cut and gives a really nice lift and round shape. The lace details of the top cup don't show much under a t-shirt, but a little. The color is really great and intense ! I love it (I'm fond of purple).

About the fit, now: it fits like a charm !! No quad-boobs effect ! No cutting into breast's tissue, the underwires ... are comfortable and not too high on the side (I'm not tall: 1m52 and the height of the sides is important for my comfort). The back band is perfectly adjusted, not too tight and firm.
I love this bra ! Even more when you know it's my FIRST well-fitting bra. Before, I'd wear a 95F, which was wayyyy too big for me on the back size :/

I find only one small issue with it: the centre gore is a liiittle tight on my chest (not on the top) and you'll see in the pictures, it makes my skin a bit red. But I didn't wear it or wash it yet, so it may change or if it doesn't, I may become more used to it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Anyway, I'm keeping it and I'm sure it will become my fav bra !

I should wear somewhere around a 28GG. (28 underbust, 38 bust) I bought the 32FF because it was the closest sister size in stock and I really needed a bra. I am fuller on top and I am nursing (4 months post partum).

The band is too stretchy, but the gore tacks. It offers good support for being two band sizes too big. The top of the cups doesn't dig in unless my breasts are swollen, but even when it digs it is not painful or too noticeable because the fabric seems to be elasticized.
I think the wires are too wide because when I take this bra off ... I have red marks a couple inches behind where my breast tissue stops. Probably because the band size is wrong, again.

I can nurse in this, which is a big plus. The center gore does not come up too high, but it is slightly too big for my close-set breasts so it sits on the breast tissue just a little. Also not painful or too noticeable, though.

I don't love the appearance or the colors it's offered in. I like bras in colors more like those offered by Elle MacPherson. But it's not a grandma bra, so I don't hate it either.

I will check out some of the sister bras to this one, because overall I do like it.

This bra fits great, and is an amazing everyday bra. Will be buying in more colors.

This is a great bra. It gives great uplift, separates the boobs and a nice rounded shape. I like the berry color a lot and the little orange bow on the center gore is a nice contrast.

I measured the bra after a couple of months wear. The band seems a bit on the stretchy side, other than that it seems true to size.
