I am in love with this bra. Such cute detail. Band supports wonderfully, gore tacks well. This bra is so comfortable, give me a nice rounded shape. I think I'd be happy with about 10 of them.

This is one of my best fitting Cleo bras.
I like everything about this bra : the band and the straps are tight but stretchy enough. Melissa has quite narrow underwires which is an advantage for me because the best underwires for me are those from Ewa Michalak bras. I like the cup construction - the top of the cup doesn't cut into the breast tissue and its "deep" so well that the shape it gives is very rounded. This bra brings the breast tissue from the sides to the center and gives a perky shape.This bra is not owned any more

I freakin' LOVE this bra. Its fit rivals that of Empreinte - very front and centre with terrific support and terrific lift. The band fits snugly and does not budge all day (go up a band size) but the cups are quite deep and true to size. The print is amazing and the fabric is so firm (but comfortable). This bra looks like a million bucks and it's very affordable. Also, it's super comfortable and it gives a terrific shape under clothing.

Due to weight gain, I ordered this bra in a 36J instead of my usual Cleo size of 32/34J. Happily, for my ego, the bra is too large. Both the cups and band seem exceptionally stretchy.
Overall, the bra is lovely though the cups are a bit stiff. The shape is similar to the Alexa and I think the projection will be very forward and supported, in the correct size. I’ll be exchanging but wanted to post the measurements for this one.

I wound up returning this without managing to get measurements or pictures, unfortunately, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. The bra was gorgeous on, felt probably the most front and center and projected of bras I've tried. The material felt nice and firm, though the transition between the bottom cup and lacy bit was slightly more prominent under a shirt than I'm used to from Cleo.
The band definitely ran the tightest of that batch of bras - for reference, I couldn't close this without an extender, as compared to the 34j marcie that I'm wearing with an extender to break in the bra ... gently but I definitely could have closed and worn.
in the end, I had to send it back because the wires were just too narrow to get away with - I have an extremely wide root, so while almost all wires are too narrow on me, these were definitely on tissue to the point where I didn't want to risk bad migration. (I'm not sure this necessarily means these will be great for people hunting for narrow roots, but they at least felt narrower on me than marcie.)https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Sad times, pretty Melissa.

Very tight bra, would be good for anyone who's sub28. I think it feels too tight on me because I could go up a cupsize, otherwise it's a pretty good fit.

Such a pretty bra! it looks like Mario from Super Mario Bros
I bought this in a smaller back size in order to wear an extender for bit with it because the next back size has wider wires which aren't so good. This 28 back has the same measurements as my black 30 back Zia so i think it is fairly true to size.
I've not yet worn it, so i will update about poking / prodding etc when i have had a chance to wear it for the day.This bra is not owned any more
