    36FF

    Fits

    Snug in the band will try with an extender and see how that works. I like the shape it gives me and hope with the extender it will fit the only issue I see with this bra.

    Okay this is an update after putting in a fit request.

    I was ready to return the bra (I had the package all set to go with my hubby when he left for work in the moring) after ordering an extender and it becoming more uncomfortable until I read this blog in one last google search to see if I could make the wires love me http://brasihate.blogspot.com/2012/01/what-to-do-with-those-pesky-wide.html now I did ... not bend the wire the same as her but with the bra on I gently but firmly bent the wires to be more friendly to my shape and can I just say......... it is Amazing! So the 36FF fits after wearing with an extender for a day and being uncomfortable because it changed the way the center gore interacted with my ribcage. I put it on with the "alteration" sans extender and it is everything I have ever dreamed of and more in a bra. AF started today and I needed to add the extender again but with some minor bending it was comfortable just like when I didn't have the extender added. So I think it is safe to say this bra fits. Yay! So if you are considering this bra things to consider are:

    -It does not stretch easily (which is good if you want your bra to last)
    -The wires suck but can be minorly manipulated to be super comfy
    -You will probably need to wear this bra with an extender for a day to help stretch (but not overstretch) the band
    -If you find the right cup fit but the band is a bit snug it might just be the right bra and it just needs some Dr. Frankenstein time
    -AF sucks

    Used to fit

    Gives a nice forward shape. The seams show a bit under thin tight shirts, but thicker shirts are okay.
    Because of the thin fabric the white colour doesn't show as much as most white bras would.
    Great light bra.
    Not my best fitting bra, it is barely wide enough. Left side fits but my slightly bigger right side the wire is a tiny bit to narrow. I like this bra for hot days though.
    Because the Lucy has no band below the wire the wire can be a bit uncomfortable when I am slouching.

    Hasn't set fit

    It's a really nice bra and looks almost new despite being owned by several others before. I am not sure about its fit on me but that's probably because I haven't tried on very many other bras since getting measured for my right size. It fits well enough to keep though!

    Didn't fit

    This is my second Cleo bra and will most likely be my last. This bra introduces all sorts of issues that I've either never encountered before or never encountered to this extent.
    The first issue is the gore. It is both fairly tall and fairly wide. I do generally prefer wider and taller gores, and generally my issue is that they're too short. This bra has a combination of width and height that is too much for me however.
    My next issue is with the straps. For the first time ever, I have found a bra where the straps don't adjust long enough for me. As a result, the band ... rides up pretty substantially. Since the band rides up so much (and also due to the underwire setup which makes it hard to try the bra on backwards) I can't really evaluate the fit of the band. But it doesn't feel tight despite the fact that it isn't level, so it may be just a little bit big.
    The biggest issue however is with the cups. They underwires are quite tall and would probably poke me in the armpit if it weren't for the fact that the wires are so wide that they go all the way to the back of my ribcage (which makes armpit poking a nonissue). The fabric of the cup however does rub at my armpits because the wings are fairly tall. The cup itself has a little bit of gaping at the top on the left side and a lot on the right side in a neutral position. When I pull my shoulders back, the left side lays pretty flat while the right side still has a bit of gaping. It's really hard to say if this is due to a size or shape issue though simply because of how many issues I have with the shape.

    Currently, without going down to 26 band (I have 24in snug underbust) this is my best fit. I fill the cups well in this one and it doesn't dig in at the sternum or rise up over my boobs. As usual the wire will overlap one boob because of how close set they are.

    I love the feminine look of pure white bras, and this one is no exception. The shape is quite ideal, typically Cleo-round but held a little lower than Lily or Alexa. I got this one as a diagnostic bra when just starting my correctly-fitting bra journey, and though I still love it I've just discovered over time that my shape and projection is better suited to Marcie.

      How was the band on this? I'm sub 28 and so the band tightness is always top priority for me.

    • The band actually felt like it was tightish for a 28, I liked the bands fit, I do think I'm closer to a 26 back than 28 as it turns out.

    It is a tight fit. Cannot wear anything flowy on top of the bra without a inner shirt. When worn an entire day, it leaves a mark. The underwire does bite in the side. When I bend over and straighten up, its results in a slight quad boob. Overall, this is a good fit, but would I buy this size again, no but the style, yes.

    Fits

    I purchased two of these (purple & black) from another bratabase user. They fit perfectly EXCEPT for the width of the straps. Initially I found the straps on my other Cleos too wide but it didn't take me too long to get used to them and they are now the bras I always wear but the straps on these are really wide. To make matters worse, the edge of the strap has a built in serated edge - after 10 min all you can think about is taking it off. Consequently, I unpicked the sides where the straps attach to the cup and moved the strap in a bit. Unfortunately redoing the side elastic took a smidge of length from the top edge of the cup but it's not a quadboob and barely noticeable. They're now in constant rotation.

    Fits

    It was my first soft bra, and I needed time to get used to it. Was hard at the beginning, but now it feels good https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />. I don't know, but 75D feels better than 32DD, the cups and wires suits me better and are more comfy. But the band is too lose and need to use it on the tightest hook. Also, there's small wrinkling on my smaller side but it doesn't affect bra overall! Ive almost forgot about this bra, so today I've tried it and I think that I want to get more cleos, mostly Lily in blue, swan or parrots, plus I have back home brand new Marcie that wanted to sell but now I'm thinking to keep it as looks good and is perfect as a summer bra.
