Really cute bra in fun colours. I like that i takes my wide set breasts and holds them more up front. I always feel skinnier in this bra!

This is currently my favourite bra! It's so pretty and very comfortable! The band is a tad too big for me, probably because I really need a 26 or 24 band. The center gore is still too high for my close set breasts but it's narrower than other bras I've tried and not really a problem. It gives me a wonderful rounded shape and lifts nicely. One problem I did have at first was that the straps were placed way too far apart, making the top of the cups gape. But I found an alteration on the internet to move the straps closer, which worked well! It also made the armholes a bit bigger and most of the gaping is gone now, the lace is still fluttery at times (probably because of my fob shape) but I can live with that.

Shape wise, this bra is probably the best Cleos offering since my long time favorite Lizzy.
I don't know how it does it, but the liftoff in this thing is unparalleled.
You also get a wonderful round profile and a front and center look.
No weird cleo fold in the upper part of the cup either.
It would be a firm favorite if it weren't for the print... -.-Updated on Jan 25, 2014 Flag this

This band is not long enough for me. I measure at 32 super tight, 34 comfy, 36 loose. The band on this bra only stretches to 29 without warping the wires. I was able to fasten it but the wires were stretched and digging into my sides (I think the wires were a good width for me before fastening the bra). The gore was too high for me, leaving the wires digging into both breasts at the center (more so of course because of the small band). The wires are right next to each other however, which may have worked with a lower gore- I have less than a half inch of space between breasts so it's a tough fit there. The stretch lace on top of the cups works well for my full on bottom shape, and is the pattern is very cute!

Really cute bra, but one size small for me. I purchased a 30E and it fits perfectly. I would say it runs true to size because I wear a 30E in most Cleo bras.
Excellent lift and rounded shape. Possibly the best I've ever had in an unpadded bra. Not much cleavage - more of a "locked and loaded" bra. The gore is a little high for me, but can still be worn all day. Band is snug. Fun, playful print.This bra is not owned any more

Bought this at Nordstrom Rack hoping that it would fit after some tissue migration in my 32E bras. Been wearing the correct size for 7 months and 32E still fits great! I ended up buying a Melissa in 32E and it's one of my favorite bras!

The band on this bra fits more like a 28. It gapes a little bit at the top and the wire at the gore presses into my larger right breast a little bit. In spite of that it is my favorite bra so far! The fabric is sturdy and it gives great support. The shape it gives is nice and round. The lower projection is perfect for me. The colors are absolutely vibrant and beautiful!

Definitely a really cute bra, and I like the feel of the material used for the cups! I didn't write a review for it initially, while it still fit, but now that I've lost a little bit of weight, I can't fill out the tops of the cups and the lace is wrinkled. I'll have to save this one for when it's near my period, now. Quality is really great, as it's been holding up well for months! Band is really firm, and does take some getting used to, but it's really comfortable now.

I really love this bra. It's my first well-fitted one, and I have to force myself to not wear it daily. For reference, I'm slightly full on top.
The only negative would be that the gore comes up too high and pokes into my breast tissue. It's not terribly uncomfortable though. (My breasts are fairly close-set.)This bra is not owned any more

My usual problem with Cleo unpadded balconettes; the 30DD is too small, while the 30E fits perfectly in the lower half of the cup but the top of the lace gapes. I have kept the bra as it gives such an amazing shape - it really hauls in my wide-rooted breasts and makes me look slimmer and about a cup size bigger than normal.
Edit: a couple of months and some tissue migration later and this now fits me perfectly.
