Since AW2015 - Padded halfcup bra with a three-piece cup in various prints
More...
This bra is discontinued.
I love the colourway, and the cups themselves are comfy, but I really wish the gore was smaller and the straps were all the way adjustable. The gore does a weird thing where one wire rests on the sternum, and the other wire is sitting on my smaller breast.

A really thick cup edge that shows significantly under a T-shirt. Cup is a little too open for my smaller side but fits fine on the larger. Straps are also a bit too far apart.
Otherwise, seems comfortable.

Narrow cup with a lot of projection and very open on top, which is perfect for tall roots and people with more tissue above the nipple. The band is pretty stretchy in the blue polka-dot colorway so definitely size down in the band! I'm usually a 30DD/E and the 28E still feels like the elastic could stretch out sooner than some of my other bras.

This bra's band is nice and snug, so it forces me into the proper posture! I love bras that do that! I've gained weight since I bought this, so I need to loosen the straps more than I'd like in order to avoid quad boobs. Hence, the solid band is especially appreciated. This is very cute yet sexy bra. I love the wide-set straps. Even though this a molded bra, which I usually loathe, it fits well. There is no gapping even when I hunch over. I am very, very happy with this bra.

I love the Cleo Mimi! The 30FF fits perfectly on my small, petite frame, similar to how other Cleo padded/molded bras fit me. It was disheartened after trying on other 3HC half cup bras from Freya and Gorsenia in the same size, as they all were too large in the cup and too open on the top part and too wide in the strap placement.

On paper this bra should fit me, but I have a few problems with it. First, the cups are open at the top and create an area that I don't fill. Second, the sides are short - this might not bother me if I had not changed directly out of a Comexim bra to try this one on. Third, the band feels most secure on the tightest hooks, but then the wires hurt quite a lot.

I absolutely love this bra. I've never had a padded bra fit so well. It also gives great cleavage which is fun. The print is not something I'd usually wear, but it's really cute.

Very cute print and bra and nice lift, but the bottoms of the cups are too wide for me and not enough bottom projection.

I find this bra to be extremely comfortable. Minus the small upper cup issue, i think this is pretty close to perfect. By the end of my 2nd day wearing it, i was notcing the upper rim of the cup protruding a bit off my breast tissue when I made certain movements. I'm not sure if this is my bra shape, or the way the bra is structured. It's made from a thicker material at top that I think that may have some trouble laying perfectly flat on some breasts. Otherwise, this bra is great. The rose pattern is adorable and it's very comfortable to wear all day. It gives a great shape under shirts.

I have tall shallow roots, with average to slight projection and even fullness. Prior to this bra, I was mostly wearing Freya half cups and this bra was an extremely welcome change. The padding is stiffer than Freya's, and the wires are slightly narrower for the same size. The lift and shape I get from this bra is incredible. It is my favourite bra. The band is pretty stretchy though. If you are in between band sizes I would recommend going with the smaller one.

Mimi is my most painful bra, which was a surprise as I get along well with most Marcie cuts.
In my size (28FF), Mimi is too shallow at the wires, causing them to be pushed below my IMF and the not-very-adjustable straps to be uncomfortably pulled on my shoulders.
It was too bad as I thought some of the colors are really cute.
