Since AW2015 - Padded halfcup bra with a three-piece cup in various prints
More...
This bra is discontinued.
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.

I have conical breasts that act more like full on bottom/projected/short roots. There is not enough projection on the bottom of the cups, so my breasts push the bra down. The cups are also too tall for me. I have a lot of empty space at the top of the cup, especially when I place the underwire at my IMF (where they should be). The band is a little larger than other 28 bands I've tried.

So pretty! I have the floral version. It is too shallow for me, but works pretty good. Gives a nice, rounded shape.

A lovely bra that doesn't quite work for me. The width seems to be a bit too narrow for me and I get gaping along the top edge of both cups.
The material is very smooth and comfortable on the bands and straps, sort of a satiny feeling.

Really like this bra. The gore is a little wide for me, but not terrible, and the cups come up a bit higher than I would expect for a halfcup. The top of the cup runs into the front of my armpit a bit on my smaller side, but I have this problem in most bras. But the cups have decent projection, the padding is similar to a moulded bra, the floral pattern is pretty...it’s a great everyday bra.

I purchased my regular size, but I overspilled everywhere. Not enough space in the bottom for me. Might have worked if it were taller. Would be a very pretty bra with nice cakes-on-a-plate cleavage on the right person.

Well made, great color/fabric design, actually fits quite well, BUT, I cannot bear the gore. Within a minute or two of donning the bra it feels as if it is burrowing into my sternum. Sigh! Also, the band runs large and can be stretched to nearly 32 inches.

I love the rose print on this bra - the colours are really flattering and it's so pretty. The outer cup material is soft and silky microfibre, and the lining is a cosy cotton feeling fabric that's very nice against the skin. The Mimi provides lots of uplift, which I don't often get. It's more projected than most lined bras I've tried, and it gives fantastic cakes on a plate cleavage without any real padding - it's all in the cut. The cut reminds me of my Freya Patsy Half Cup, but the fabric is much better quality - I find the Mimi so much more comfortable and ... it is more uplifting than my Patsy.
I usually wear 30F-FF so I was hoping this sister size would be ok for me - but unfortunately the band is just too lose on me. I have a 30F Mimi in animal print that I love (even though it's a little small on me), but I really wanted one in the rose print... sadly the 32 band just isn't snug enough for me - I had to put it on the tightest hook immediately. Otherwise, a beautiful, comfy bra.

This is my first Cleo padded bra. For comparison, I wear 32GG in Lucy. The band and straps could be tighter (it's on the tightest hook and straps are are short as they will go). My soft tissue presses the center of the cup inward causing a bit of misshaping so I think the gore should be a tad bit taller. However, it is extremely comfortable! It looks great under a shirt. It gives me the forward and rounded and lifted shape I desire. Perhaps I need a style that has a slightly taller gore if I can find one. Looking at a comparison here on Bratabase, the 32GG gore is not taller so I don't think I will try it (my tissue would still migrate to the center which could leave some empty space elsewhere which doesn't happen too much in this size), and I would have too much spillage in a 32G. If I can find a way to shorten the straps a bit, I might keep this bra.
