Have you ever moved back into your old hometown and started hanging out with an old friend after years apart. That’s what having a Cleo Marcie again is like for me right now.
Very pretty, comfy bra, with a great shape, comfy wires, nice details and all day comfort

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.

Cup wires are wider than Marcie. The bottom gore is very thin/unlined/unenforced and cuts into my skin a few minutes after putting on the bra. I feel it the entire time cutting in me, so I have to put a piece of fabric/or tuck my shirt under the gore and even the wires sometimes. The wires are hard and not encased enough. and lays lower than my IMF and leaves red marks.
This is incredibly uncomfortable for me right from putting it on. Bought second hand/pre-worn, but this model just doesn't work for me. I believe a lot of it is due to the seperated pieces of band/gore, unlike all my other bra models. Also the flimsy/weak lace combined with the too hard wires.
May try to sew a dart in gore to see if fit is better, but overall a fail.

This bra has 3 part cups in a pretty polka-dot fabric with lace at the top of the cups. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit me properly. The band is fairly loose - I could easily wear it on the 2nd set of hooks right away. The bottom of the cups is OK (well filled) but the top of the cups is way too big - I can fold about 1'' of fabric over itself at the top on both sides.I will be returning this bra.

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 fits me the best of everything I tried. I'm slightly conical, probably on the projected side (have a hard time telling that) vertically even and centre-full.

The cups on this one are oddly large. But if that weren't the case, I think I might like it a lot. I think I'll try the next size down in this one if I can find it.

Extremely shallow, which leads to a too tight band. I have deep wrinkles on the underneath of the cups. Wires slightly wider then I require. Gore does not lay flat.
Leaves marks even after 1-2 hours. Fabric and construction is good though. Don't have cup gapping.
Edit: Sewed a dart at the gore. Overall fit is better. The cups are still shallow, but there's less creasing at bottom of cup. The wires are closer and feels like where my actual breasts end too. Nice smooth, round look under clothing. The measurements indexed are still the original ones.

This bra was quite pretty, it's too bad that it was a cup size too small for me! I ordered a 30FF based on recommendations from new measurements after losing some inches but I think I need a G cup, alas Amazon only carried it up to FF. My only concern with going up a cup size is that I'm not sure if the trim would cut in along the top. My roots are quite tall so that tends to be an issue for me.

My best fitting bra. Love the forward and rounded look. The gore doesn't poke, the elastic and bra lace fabric are very comfortable. Band doesn't stretch out too quickly. I do get quadding after scooping, and the gore digs in then, but its still a very comfortable bra. Might try in a 30gg.

This is has fun, somewhat manic colors. The gore is the biggest issue for me, it not being a good fit for my personal asymmetry at my sternum (so not an actual problem with the bra). The cups might also be a tiny bit too small for me, as there is a little bit of quadboob effect (barely). The band itself isn't too tight (it might actually be slipping down a little when worn), but there are some slightly prickly parts where the stitching comes together and creates rigid points in the fabric.
This one isn't bad, but it also isn't perfect for me!

The cups are a little too small, resulting int a tiny bit of overflow on top - but that should be easily fixed with the next cup size up. However, the gore of the bra does dig in uncomfortably on the right side of my sternum. This is likely not an issue with the construction of the bra itself, but rather with some slightly asymmetry in my sternum. I will definitely try again with this bra to see if another cup size resolves this issue.

Wow, this is one tight band for a Cleo; I could have gone with a 32GG but I think it will be fine after the initial break in. Meanwhile, I can use one of my trusty extenders.
The pattern is just this side of matronly, but I like it. I think the pink lace funs it up.
But it also allows weird bulging along the seam where the two fabrics meet. I have the Meg and it doesn't do that. Still, it's fine as long as it's not under thin or sheer clothing.
The sweetheart cut with the narrower wires and good projection give a really good shape.
12/2018 update: Did I ever wear this? The band still works (with an extender) but the cups . . . don't. It looks like a half cup. It does seem to run true to size given that I need a 30J/32H-HH.

12/2018 It's rare when I run into cups that are too large - but that probably means it's pretty true to size and consistent within Cleo sizing. I have this same bra in a 30H that's too tight in the band and 1-2 cup sizes too small (need a 32H/HH) and I have Cleo's Melissa, Zia, Meg, Darcy, two Lily's and a Juna in 32H that either fit or mostly-fit (could use 30J/32HH's).
I understand and appreciate the younger aesthetic Cleo offers, but I think a wider band would provide better support over the long haul and minimize backfat than these measly 2 hooks.

This is a tricky bra for some boobs because the lace will stick out if your boobs aren't fairly full on top, and it will cut in if your boobs are very full. It works for me, which is good because it fills a need for a plain, smooth beige bra that looks pretty nice on - and is crazy comfortable.
When I originally got this bra, I felt like I could use a 32HH because the band on this style stretches pretty quickly and I hoped it would provide a little give in the cup.
Two hooks, which I will continue to assert is not enough for an H cup.
Review update 12/2018 after multiple weight/shape changes: I need a 30HH/J, but that likely means it's pretty true to size. Oddly, I get a hint of quadraboob on my smaller side in this one?! The general shape is wider and more compact than I remember - but that may be because I really need a cup larger.

Wires are soft and easily curve to your ribs but still are trying to reach your back. Itchy fabric. It’s a no for me

Very very very very pretty, especially in person. If your rib cage tends to get thicker right under your chest it can end up causing it to wrinkle up a bi

It's one cup size small for me. I have awful in-cup-quadding. The band is quite stretchy. The cup shape is good for FOT breasts due to the stretchy lace.

Adding for measurements. I do not own this bra.
Band seems tts, cups seem to run large. The lace is very stretchy and soft. The colour is out of this world.

This bra was my first attempt at sizing myself. I only chose an E cup because I mistakenly thought my cups couldn’t possibly be as big as I measured, but they were. This bra has always been laughably too small for me, but I tried to force it to work briefly before I realized it was never going to be comfortable for me. At this point in time, I can only get about a third of my boob into each cup. The bra itself though is soft, durable, and cute looking, though a pretty shallow cut.
