I actually really like this bra! It is the closest to perfect fitting unlined balcony style I have found since the start of my bra journey. Unfortunately it does have a couple small issues. The good: band is firm and snug on loosest hook but not uncomfortable. I wore it out to do errands for 5 plus hours and it was still reasonably comfortable by the time I got home. Straps adjust perfectly for me although I have them close to their longest setting and I am very petite, so I could see that being a problem for taller or longer torso'd women. The shape it gives me ... is lifted and rounded within my frame. The top has a slight bit of that ski slope shape the are pretty common with balconette style. I am FOB with deflated breasts. So no volume on top and even though I'm FOB my profile has flattened out quite a bit even in the fullest parts. My boobs are squishy. I find balcony bras a challenge because they usually gape at top and my breasts all spill forward creating a very pointed unflattering shape. This bra does not do that! The Bad: band feels right but still causes some back squish. I also get a slight bit of armpit squish even after swooping and scooping. I'm not sure if the underwires are too short? Feedback welcome https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" /> Because of my petite frame I've often found the opposite to be a problem where wires dig and are uncomfortable and I don't have that problem with this bra, so for now I'll trade uncomfortable wires for a slight underarm pooch. It's not noticeable under a tshirt. To me this cup almost feels like a half cup although I stay put in them and do not have any quading. Although on my larger side I do feel like I would quad very slightly if it was a tiny smidge smaller. I think I'm between cup sizes tho because in my cleo Maya 30DD I have tons of wrinkling at the top and can't quite fill it. I've also found that I'm between sizes in my l'Mystere and Wacoal moulded/T-shirt styles so finding an absolute perfect fit is very challenging. I have read in other user reviews are that the Natasha cups run a bit small so I'm excited to try some other cleo styles in this size.

Doesn't fit. Cleos seem to make my boobs into squares.

A beautiful bra, that is too small in the cups for me. Would gladly exchange for something similar in 28E, 30DD or possibly 28F, depending on measurements and style.

This bra looks better in person than it does in stock photos online - the colors are more harmonious and the heart charm looks cute. Unfortunately, the lace trim got kind of sad and wrinkled even as my breast bulged out over top of it. Not a good look!

The band feels firm, it was less stretchy than the other Cleo bra (Lana) I got in the same order. I think it would hold up well over time, and even though I measure as a 28, I'd stick with the 30 in this style, *and* size up in the cup if I were to try again. The material of the cups is somewhat stiff compared to the decorative lace on the top edge, and the boundary between the two seemed to exacerbate the fit issues.
