    28DD

    Didn't fit

    I tried the 30DD and this one. I don't know which one fit worse, which makes me sad. I really wanted this one to work.

    The 30DD was too big in the cup and the tightness of the band was alright. After trying to fit my breast tissue into the cup, I could see the wrinkling at the top for both breasts, and there was the bulge under my arms.

    Whereas the cup and the band were too tight. I got quadboobing immediately after scooping and swooping, and the bulge under my arms was quite prominent.

    I'm very sad, as I was looking forward to trying this bra and hoping it would be a great fit.

    I loved the feel and look of the bra. Especially being the first unlined one I've tried. However, my breasts didn't quite fill the top, since it wrinkles, even after scooping and swooping. It doesn't quite have the tall sides to take in the underarm bulge, either. I really wish this fit, its so pretty and comfortable.

    Hasn't set fit

    Material - ok, not comfortable, but not horrible.

    Wires - slightly too narrow? I think I could live with this but prefer just a bit more

    Gore not digging in. Unremarkable.

    Shape seems pretty good! Top cut in while taking the photos

    Photos taken while breasts at largest, bloated size. After puffyness went down, cup top doesn't cut into tissue at all, lays pretty flat! not deflated.

    The cups are too wide for me and I have gapping at the top. The 34ff had perfect wires for me, but the cups were too small so I'm going to try sister sizing to a 32g with a band extender if necessary.

    This bra gives me quad boob, but the wires are perfect. I think if you're full on bottom it fits better than full on top boobs.

    32GG

    Didn't fit

    It is amazing to me that I can wear a UK GG cup and still proportionately look like I have small boobs! I want BIG boobs! LOL As for this bra, it fits extremely well comfort-wise so I will definitely wear it. But it doesn't give me any umph. The cups are wider than they need to be and maybe not close enough at the gore. The straps are a perfectly acceptable length but I would like to tighten them just a bit to see if that would give me some more of the lift I desire. I do really like the round shape. Too many bras I have tried give me what I've seen described as a bullet shape.

    Fits

    This bra is used, but still firm and like new for me to use. The lace is a little stiff but not to annoying. The bra color is not faded, like some bra lace gets when it's been used and washed. But I've found that the Cleo Lucy is the most inconsistent shaped bra EVER! So try at least 3 of one size before you know if that size doesn't work for you, I had to, and I'm glad I did.

    28G

    Didn't fit

    My shape: even-to-slightly FOB teardrop with very tall shallow roots, loads of immediate depth but moderate overall projection at the apex, close-set in the middle, side boob for days, center-height and self-supporting, with very firm tissue that does not take kindly to being pushed around by wires and pads. Also starting to suspect that I have a low apex, between the lower projection and upper shallowness and the problems I have with bras that should otherwise work.

    This review is for a gently used bra in the navy colorway I received in a swap from r/braswap. It's a beautiful purple-y blue that I like a lot, and it's wonderfully ... thin and sheer and probably perfect for summer. If only it worked!

    Ok, so if there was a correct size for me in the Lucy, this is not it, but it's probably close. I'm not sure the style works for me anyway, though, and mostly because I'm starting to wonder whether the bra I appear to be wearing and the bra it feels like I'm wearing are the same one! I did only wear it for about half an hour to get a good read on it, and take photos, but still.

    For one, I can't remember the last time I had so much of a problem with the straps moving the top of the cup. They didn't FEEL uncomfortable or chafe-y in my armpits or anything, but they are apparently in just the wrong spot. The top edge buckles as badly as if the cup was 2-3 sizes too big unless my arms are perfectly straight by my sides.

    Speaking of mysterious problems that don't feel like problems, let's talk about the gore. It's pretty tall and while it did feel a little firm and... tight against my chest, I guess (maybe a bit of shallowness at the inner cups?), it certainly didn't feel as bad as the red marks it left look. They're not really the welts I usually get from mean gores; they're not bruises from pressure or friction marks from the height, just angry-looking marks that don't feel like anything. Full disclosure: I mark easily. It's a thing. Apparently it has to do with water retention and possibly inflammation like with allergies or hormones or other conditions. However, there is a difference between these hormonal marks and the marks that bad bras give me, which are usually tender and angry-looking. Kind of like these marks, except with more pain. This time, none? So good, I guess. Still weird.

    The wires at the sides also left angry red marks under my arms, but again, I felt none of it. Still weird. In the photos you can tell that they are a bit narrow for my Super Side Boob™roots, and maybe a bit short. They do take up the whole channel, though, so there is no room to shift or adjust them in or out. There's also a bit of gapping just behind the wire at the wing under my arm, but this happens a lot on me and doesn't seem to affect wearability.

    On to the actual obvious noticeable problems! First, I'd just like to say that I think the immediate depth on these cups might be pretty close to just right, or at least getting there. In all the wiggling I did, the wires never once came out of my IMF. The shame about that is if I did size down a cup or so to solve the wrinkles in the outer cup and upper lace panel, I'd lose even more underwire, AND the upper cup would probably start that faux-quadboob thing and cut in. Right now, the upper edge is comfy (when it stays down), and instead I just have extra space in the sheer panel. Such is the nature of the tall/shallow rooted, though: These upper panels are so closed on top, and they anticipate roots that stop shorter and upper fullness with a more projected angle up here, but that just ain't me. I also think the apex is just about right, or I'm a hair below it; any higher and I'd be right at the seam, which is always scratchy and terrible, so this is nice.

    The band is nice and comfy! No itching or scratching, and it seems to fit nicely enough even though it's been loved before. I have tried very few Cleos ever, though, so I don't know what that indicates about stretchiness. My 28G - Freya » Patsy Padded Half Cup Bra (1223) is currently my best band, if that helps.

    Gonna try and get this one listed ASAP!

    This bra was fantastic when I was 28DD, good for my even, tall, shallow boobs. Too small in the cups for me now, the top line cuts in and I spill out. Such a vibrant pretty colour scheme and the lower cups are lined with a soft mesh inlay.

    Bought this to try and it doesn't fit so I can't say much about it. Standard black lace. Comfortable snug band.
