- The bra band is really tight but that may just be because I don't know how tight a well fitting bra is.
- The section of the cup with the top panel is not completely filled by my boobs. Also, the top ridge of the cups dig into the top of my boobs a little (minor quadboob).

This is one of those bras that seems large at first when you put it on. But after swooping and scooping, some time to settle into the cups, and strap adjustment it fits fine. The appearance that it doesn't fit is at the top of the cups, but once it is given time to settle around the body the wrinkling goes away. I do find the wires to be too wide, just like I do with all my bras.

Material is a bit scratchier then what I like, I find it a bit irritating at the area where the under arm joins the strap. I like the two hook/eyes instead of three, but many women would find this to be a problem. We will see how wash and wear changes the scratchy feeling, will update the review after time.

I wanted to love this bra so badly! The print is adorable and the color scheme is awesome. Like many others have said, the fabric feels very stiff. I feel like the horizontal-ish seam is a little higher than it is on my Zia, which fits like a dream (even if I have to wear it on the smallest set of hooks). This makes it look a little weird. The top section lays flat, but the seam gets a little wrinkly and there's a bit of space there. From the side, it kind of makes it look like my boobs are pointing upward. I'm hoping it'll soften up ... and not look so strange after I wash it once or twice.

The band also feels tighter than my Lucy. It's not unpleasantly tight, but I think I'm fairly compressible (under my boobs I measure anywhere from 27.5"-29.5" depending on how tight I pull the tape). Perhaps a less squishy person would want to size up, especially if you're prone to being hurt by pressure from your underwires and stuff.

Bought it off Ebay, and I can't return it, so I'll either decide it's acceptable or I'll have to pass it on to someone else. I'm crossing my fingers for the former, 'cause it's just so cute. I'll probably be avoiding this style in the future though, because I get a rounder profile from both my Lucy and my Zia.

A little confused, though - I've seen people say it would be better for both full on top or full on bottom breasts. Using BrasIHate's leaning over test, I decided that my bigger boob was full on top, (but my little one is full on bottom? Is that normal? People always talk about their boobs being different sizes, but different shapes?) but if this bra is for full on top boobs, then maybe I'm mistaken.

Edit: I've worn it 3 times and washed it once. If it doesn't soften up on the next washing I'm going to have to put her up for sale, 'cause my boobs look wicked strange under t-shirts, and that's pretty much all I ever wear.

Overall nice fit. I have a little gap in the upper cups. The center gore sometimes digs in to my sternum. I think it is super cute.

Cleo Meg and I are *NOT* friends. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> This is my second try with a slight size adjustment.

I first tried my go-to size, 36J, and was able to make it wearable with some serious wire bending to get the gore to lay flat and wearing a bra liner under the front band, where the elastic was curling under and digging in. The cups, however, had gaping at the top edge and, more bothersome, there was puckering along all of the cup seams that was very visible under a thin knit shirt or even a thick T-shirt.

I like ... the design. Pretty bra. The print is pretty and I LOVE the tiny charm on the center gore. VERY supportive. So, I decided to give the 36HH a go to see if a smaller cup would fix the few problems I had. And did it? Yes and no.

The gore lays flat - right out of the box! First bra that has done that for me - EVER. And the wires are close to the right spot under the arms. They don't poke, but they might be a smidgeon too far back (wide). I think the cups are 8" wide and 7.5" seems to be perfect for me.

The band fits perfectly snug on the loosest hook. The straps, well, I'd prefer them wider and cushioned. A true comfort strap would be nice. The width of the elastic straps (0.75") and the scalloped edges on them (and elsewhere on the bra) really bothers my sensitive skin. Also, only 2 hooks on the band. Seems to work with 2 hooks, but I'd feel better with wider straps and 3 hooks and I think it would be more comfortable.

The cups do NOT fit. There is slight quad boobing even on the smaller breast and it's making some bizarre thing happen along the top of my larger boob. I tried to get a close-up of it, but it's hard to photograph. Quite obvious in person, though, and weird. Makes the breast look misshapen.

And that pesky puckering? Yeah, still there. Still very visible under a T-shirt. A visible seam I can live with (barely), but a puckered seam? No. I think the seam has no stretch while the mesh has a tiny bit. This equals a pucker all along the seam.

Too bad, because I really like this bra. I don't want to let it go. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />

I just love the design. Birds, feather prints – something for me.
The band is really tight (as other Cleos) and the cups are ridiculously small. It formed my breasts front, gave nice uplift. I think it could work with bigger band and bigger cups. If you are fan of green shape, it could be for you https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" />
Another issue – really thin fastening with two hooks. I'm looking for wide band. The material is a little bit stiff, but nice.
Now I know that I need 34F in Cleo and I'm glad because I have my Marcie <3 So thank you, Meg.

Just got this bra, and I am very pleased with it. I find the band to be quite snug. I think it will relax a bit with time, but as it is, it isn't too snug, but it would be too tight if it was any MORE snug. I like the construction of the cups-- they really push your boobs forward, but the silhouette isn't very torpedo boob-ey, it still is a bit more rounded. One of my boobs is about a quarter size bigger than the other, so that boob has perhaps the slightest about of quad-boobage going on (seen in pictures), but it fits the other boob perfectly. I like the straps, but I think they will lose elasticity with time, I usually like my straps to be just a little wider and more robust.

The print is lovely, and the fabric isn't super soft, but I don't find it irritating either.

I'm excited to wear this bra!

It's quite comfortable, but I feel the wires might still be a little too wide for me. The gore doesn't quite sit flat, but then my boobs are very very close together as well, which could influence this. This bra gives me a bit of a pointed shape and the cup gaps when I lean forward. The top of the bra sits really funny and kind of flattens the top of my boobs, not sure why this is? It's quite tight which is good, doesn't feel too loose in the band https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Really cute design and print. Sturdy fabric with a good firm band. Would suit busts fuller up top.

It seems I ordered this in the wrong size despite my measurements leading me to believe this would fit, potentially it fits slightly small. I seem to fit 32FF best in other brands overall, but because I went up in the band size (based on other reviews) I went down in the cup as that's the sister size..It's a wonderful bra though. Very very cute and fits very well (despite being one cup too small on me). I read the band fits snug so I got a band size up from my normal 32 and it is definitely a tight fit, though not too tight to wear. It ... is admittedly scratchy but I think with more wearing and washing it would be totally fine. In this bra I feel really strapped in and nothing is moving, slipping or jiggling about which is nice. Very very supportive and personally, I like the long cup length, that it comes up higher because otherwise, in other bras that don't come up like this, I spill out the sides. I'm very sad it doesn't fit me right because in the right size I think it could be close to perfect.
