This fits a lot better than the 30F but the band is still too tight and the seams cut into my bigger boob.

This bra fits...ok. This is my SECOND attempt at the Lucy now and I think we just aren't meant to be. This bra is not flattering for my shape and it just doesn't feel right. It appears to fit, but it is extremely uncomfortable after a while. I feel like I have to keep "scooping n swooping" and pulling the top of the cups back up to cover the top of my boobs (I have even fullness). I think the Cleo Lucy is just meant for FOB boobs. I don't wanna get rid of it cuz it looks like it fits, at least the 28G fits me MUCH better than the 30E I first tried. Maybe I'll give it ONE more shot and brave a 30F/28FF. Who knows?! Might just work.

This is for the navy Lucy. I love dark blue. Band is 23" and the cup depth is 8.8"

The center of the cup next to the gore compresses the tissue and I have a pointy look in the bra. Sides are fine but the outer underwire is a little stabby, but I have padding there. The gore is a little but too wide and doesn't tack, sitting on breast tissue. Bit of wrinkling in very top of the cup but better once I tightened the straps. Close but too pointy for me.

I loved this bra - at first. I may have had some early tissue migration, or I just wasn't swooping and scooping enough. Regardless, the cup size is too small (quad-boob). It's also very tight. It passes the two fingers test, and when I put in a bra-extender it's clearly too big. But I also can't wear it for very long - a couple hours tops - before it gets massively uncomfortable. It's a combination of tight and itchy I can't really explain - I thought it just needed to be "broken-in", but it seems to have gotten worse. I've only washed it once - in the sink with special detergent. I get seriously deep marks, but I don't bruise. Also it squeaks.
I do like the shape and projection I get from Lucy.
Update: I have discovered that part of the problem is that the wires are too wide for me - I have narrower roots than I realized.Updated on Oct 29, 2014 Flag this

I think this bra would fit me even better in 32G, but the 34FF fits well enough that I'm going to keep it. The band is a tight 34, and seems to fit more closely to a 32. The straps are a little odd, like there is extra space where the strap hits the top of the cup, if that makes sense. I'm going to adjust it and move the strap a little bit, so that should help.

This the the best fitting bra I own. I find it similar to the Confettit bra from Panache but not nearly as wide, or tall on the sides. I'm FOB and this perfectly encapsulates all my tissue without any gaps, or digging in.

It's very comfortable. Can barely even tell I'm wearing a bra half the time. I like the round shape I get from it. The top fabric cuts into my tissue the SLIGHTEST BIT but I chalk it up to literally only wearing it once so far. I think the cups are a tad narrow for me personally, and the gore feels a bit higher than I would like, but this is just how it sits on me personally. My main gripe is with the fabric, it find it "scratchy" near the bottom of the gore and underwires. Also My rib cage flares out at ... the bottom, so I will get some minor irritation as the day drags on but again that's but not the bra's fault. All in all a great bra that seems to confirm my suspicions of leaning toward fob shape
EDIT: so it turns out this bra is a cup size too small... I tried on a 34GG and all the problems went away, the slight narrowness and bit of quad boob was all solved. It was damn near perfect, as perfect as I'm probably going to get anyway with these balconettes and my super close set pair...

This is a tried and true favorite of mine. The Lucy gives a nice uplifted, rounded shape (slightly more natural than the Marcie from a side view). The band is firm but stretchy and the cups run true to size, so I'd recommend ordering your typical Cleo size. I've heard some complaints about the fabric. It isn't the softest material in the world, but if you are used to mesh bras, this shouldn't be an issue. The Lucy tends to come out with super cute colors every season so keep your eye out for them!
