    Not sure what's wrong with the fit of this bra, but it just doesn't work for my shape. Incredibly pretty and quasi-comfortable (given the quad boob). Lightly padded. Band is firm, as with most Panache/Cleo bras.

    Adorable, gives a really round shape, makes my boobs look AWESOME. Straps dig in a bit where they meet the cup but the appearance is woooooorth it.

    Not the most comfortable of my bras, but it's not that bad either.

    Digs in a little bit along the armpit.

    Fits really well at the center gore.

    This is so far the best unpadded bra that gives a nice round shape for my pointy and bottom heavy boobs.

    30GG

    Didn't fit

    Band 30 it's too tight for my 73cm ribcage. The centre gore is soooo wide, I had to make it narrow stright away - bra is much more comfortable now around this part. By taking the gore in, the band got even tighter but I'm going to get extender.
    Band has only 2 hooks but is quite wide, wider the other Cleo Bras (Alexa or Natasha. Straps are wider too.
    IMO Lucy is very more Panache Superbra style then Cleo - it covers more and I feel the same when wearing Panache's Eliza - lovely round shape, not so high like in Alexa but still good lift.
    As usual I'm not the fan of Cleo's looks but the construction is great.

    Edit after wearing it for a bit - Ive got the same problem like with Eliza - the wire is poking under lest armpit - it's just too long.

    28H

    Didn't fit

    Maybe I should have selected that the band is too big, but it fits perfect on the tightest hook. It hasn't stretched out yet, but once it does it will definitely be too big in the band for me.
    I really like the support I get from the sides. My chest/shoulders are fairly narrow so I like that the side support keeps my boobs more centered on my chest versus letting them splay out towards my arms.

    28E

    Didn't fit

    I'd like to say that I ordered this bra a cup size larger than what I would have normally ordered based on reviews that the cup ran small.

    The 28E cuts into the tops of my breasts and the unwire sits on a very small portion of my lower breast tissue.

    I will be ordering a 28F to see how that one goes and hope that it's not too large for me.

    I think that the Jude bra is very cute, offers average support, and is excellent quality for the price.

    Update: So the above was during my time of month...the cups fit much better now that I'm not bloated anymore.

    Another update: I guess I really wanted this bra to fit because it's so pretty, but there is an undeniable wrinkling at the bottom of the cups accompanied by by minor quadboobing.

    32H

    Hasn't set fit

    Im normally a 30H/30HH/32H and this bra is too big in the cup, im not even sure if one size smaller is gonna fit me. shame, its such a pretty, nicely made bra!
    i can close the band on the tightest hook, not sure if thats because its too big overall or if i need a smaller size.

    Gore is high and the top of it sits on a little bit of breast tissue, which chafes a bit. Very wide straps. The lace does not sit flush to the breast, but is easily fixed by wearing a camisole underneath my top. But overall, I really like the nice round shape this bra gives me. The band sits nice and secure, and I can wear it all day.

    30F

    Didn't fit

    Where should I start?

    I've lost weight since I bought this bra and the cup is now too big so I usually wear it when I have a bad case of water retention.

    The Juna by Cleo, sold in black, white and beige, is pretty close to being your average molded tshirt bra, except it has some lace on top.

    The sizing seems pretty good, though the band does seem larger than average and the cup might be a bit smaller depending on your breast shape.

    The fabric is smooth and comfortable, the quality seems okay. It's probably not a bra that will last forever, but it'll last for ... a while.

    The real downside for me about this bra was that it is definitely not made for breasts that are fuller at the bottom and it will be noticeable due to the lace on top. This bra is great for breasts that are full on top (though I suspect you might need a bigger cup size if your breasts need deep cups) and for shallow breasts.

    This is a great thing, though, because while it does not suit my shape (and I'm not surprised, I never liked molded bras for this reason), it will definitely look great on other women and give them enough support.

    So if you're the right shape, go for it and consider taking a smaller band size.
    If you're not the right shape, avoid it.

    I think this is a really pretty bra. The band is stretchy enough for me to fit a full hand underneath, but doesn't seem to ride up. The cups seem to be right size, but not the right shape. They cut into my breast tissue at the top. The shape underneath clothing is also a little funky. The wires also poke a little in the center. I'm still deciding whether this bra is worth keeping or not.

    this and the curvy kate princess were the first bras i bought, i grew out of them really quickly. its a pretty bra, comfortable to wear. i even liked it so much i bought the ellie and rihanna (in my new right size). those are the bras i wear when i want a bit of cleavage, i even wear the too small juna now and then when i want even more cleavage.

    Didn't fit

    Fits my smaller boob pretty well. The larger one, not so much. Quadboob isn't too bad, but the right breast isn't sitting in the cup as it should. The bra is somewhat wearable, as long as the top I'm wearing is not too tight. Much adjusting is needed throughout the day. I'm curious as to whether a larger cup would fix this, but alas, Cleo stops at J. The cups supposedly run big. I'm still not entirely sure about my cup size so I can't really comment on that.

    The wire width is ok for me in this size (I'm very narrow).

    The shape is nice and round.

    32 is the smaller of my normal two sizes, and I'm pretty sure a 34 would be too big for me.

    This is my first bra with only 2 hooks, and I have to say, I understand why people complain. Ugh. 3 hooks feels much more stable.

  14. Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851)

    First bra I tried in my correct size. Gives good shape and doesn't show too much under shirts. I might try a 28H next time because the band seems to be stretching after a few wears. I like my bands really tight, though. Definitely going to be a style I wear for years to come!

    Hasn't set fit

    the first time i saw this bra i knew i had to have it! i love the print, its so pretty! i would say it is similiar to rihanna and ellie but the cups are a bit different, kinda higher on the side, on the armpit, which is better for my armpit fat. it makes my boobs look a lot bigger than they normally are though (bigger than the rihanna and ellie as well). i havent worn it a lot yet so i cant say that much more about.

    i really like this bra, although the band could be tighter. i would have bought a 30HH but as the rihanna only goes up to a H, thats not possible. apart from that it is a nice bra and gives me a nice cleavage and it hardly shows under a tank top (which is always a plus!)

    Very pretty, but the mesh is a tad itchy. My larger breast was not quite fitting in the cup. I think there is also a slight east-west issue.

    Fits almost exactly the same as the 36GG. Only difference is I have this on the loosest hook! I've done the same modifications (taken in the centre gore and bound the bottom edge of it in jersey), but the cups are essentially the same size and it fits.

    Fits

    First, I need to mention that I've altered this bra. I've started altering almost all my bras, by taking in the centre gore. I've been doing this as I'm very narrow across the upper back and the rib cage, but I have a quite rounded upper chest. This improves the fit by moving the wires closer together at the bottom, but giving my chest more room at the top. I also bound the bottom edge of the gore as I found the fabric to be quite stiff, and it irritated my skin a little.

    That being said, this is my current go-to bra. I have it in two sizes, ... and I alternate wear depending on water retention. I love the fact that there is no elastic under the cups, as I find I can pull the bra up under my breasts, and not only do I fill the cups comfortably, but the bra stays where I put it. This was the size I was fit in, but as I started wearing it on the middle hook I ordered a 34H online. I will definitely be ordering more of this bra, so hopefully I manage to snag it in a different colourway.

    I like the overall design of this bra, but it definitely didn't fit me. I was bursting out of the top and the band was quite snug (probably because the cup was too small). The shape is less round than I would prefer, but I didn't test it with clothing.

    • The band on this bra probably would not feel too tight if the cups fit properly. You have breast tissue pushing the cups further away from your body than fitting cups would normally sit, which causes the band to strain more than normal.
