    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.

    Didn't fit

    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.

    30G

    Didn't fit

    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.

    Hasn't set fit

    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.

    32J

    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.

  8. 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!

    32H

    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.

    32H

    Hasn't set fit

    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.

    36GG

    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.

    For my measurements, the cups are too small. The material is smooth to the touch and would probably be great under clothes.

    Great construction and very comfortable, I'm not so keen on floral look of it but it's ok.

    32FF

    Didn't fit

    I should wear somewhere around a 28GG. (28 underbust, 38 bust) I bought the 32FF because it was the closest sister size in stock and I really needed a bra. I am fuller on top and I am nursing (4 months post partum).

    The band is too stretchy, but the gore tacks. It offers good support for being two band sizes too big. The top of the cups doesn't dig in unless my breasts are swollen, but even when it digs it is not painful or too noticeable because the fabric seems to be elasticized.
    I think the wires are too wide because when I take this bra off ... I have red marks a couple inches behind where my breast tissue stops. Probably because the band size is wrong, again.

    I can nurse in this, which is a big plus. The center gore does not come up too high, but it is slightly too big for my close-set breasts so it sits on the breast tissue just a little. Also not painful or too noticeable, though.

    I don't love the appearance or the colors it's offered in. I like bras in colors more like those offered by Elle MacPherson. But it's not a grandma bra, so I don't hate it either.

    I will check out some of the sister bras to this one, because overall I do like it.

    Comparing to Alexa and Cloe this bra is much tighter in the band and smaller in the cup. Maybe I feel band as too tight because cups are too small.

    38DD

    Fits

    The wires and the ease of bras with the youthful playful lace embroidery give the bra two. Firstly, it is because non-padded, light and airy and comfortable to wear even in summer. For another, it is, despite the many embroidery on the upper cup invisible even under the narrower T-shirts, well, if you take the side profile apart. It could, through its Balcony cut the habit fetch the breast from the side to the front and to form spherically round.

    Love the shape of this bra. Fits very comfortably, very securely. Band is not overly stretchy, I've had this bra since May, and I just started fastening it on the middle hook. Seam does show slightly under tighter clothing, but as a non-padded balcony it is great!
