This is essentially the same as my review fot the 28F. I got both the 28F and the 28FF assuming I'd find my size and send the other back. The 28F fits best during my "small week" right after my period, and the FF right before and during my period week, so I ended up keeping them both.

What I like about this bra:

*I'm a bit "bottom heavy/teardrop shaped." Fuller cup styles always, always wrinkle at the top, but the balconette style is nice.
*I like the colors. especially the orange-red color of the lace. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
*The band is nice and tight, but this ... could be because this was the first bra I got in a band size that wasn't huge on me.
*The cups are lightly padded, so they help to hide nipples without adding size.


What I don't like:

*There was definitely a breaking-in period. The bra was really stiff and scratchy the first couple of times I wore it, but is fine now.
*I am already using the middle hooks, but I can't say whether it's because the band is stretching out already or if I'm just getting used to tighter bands and realizing I can comfortably fasten tighter than I have been. This may not be the bra's fault. I'll update when I've had it a little longer.
*The wires come up too high in the middle, where they cut into my breasts just a little bit. I think if I could snip off the top 1/2 inch in the middle or move the wires down and around a bit so they're higher on the outside and lower in the middle it would be much more comfortable. EDIT: Yes, pushing the wires down in the middle a little, so the "rotate" up higher on the outer sides, helps a lot.
*The seam down the middle of the cup is visible under tighter clothing.
*I can usually get away with tightening the strap on my smaller side, but with this bra/size I need to pad my smaller side a little. This bra seems a little less accommodating to asymmetries than others I have had in the past. I don't really have this problem with the 28F, but I think it's because, even though the 28F is a little too small half the time, I'm still only a small 28FF in this bra the rest of the time, if that makes sense.

I've seen complaints elsewhere about the lace sticking up awkwardly above the cups, but I've not really had problems with that. I'll try to get pictures of some sort up soon, and will update about quality when I've had them a little longer.

I've seen complaints about the lace sticking up awkwardly above the cups, but I've not really had problems with that. It sticks up a tiny bit on my larger side, but it's not noticeable under clothing. I'll try to get pictures of some sort up soon, and will update about quality when I've had them a little longer.

This bra is really perfect for rather shallow boobs with wide roots. It's comfortable, looks nice and gives a good, round shape.
Unfortunately for me, the cups are a bit shallower than the Juna's or Ellie's cups (they are similar to the Darcy's), and so it doesn't fit me a 100 per cent right. The top of the cup cuts a tiny bit into my breast tissue. I'd say the bra is a really small 30D - the cups of my 30C Cleo Brooke are a bit deeper.
All the measurements I took are for a used Rita, e.g. the band might have stretched out (I bought this bra used, so I wouldn't know).

Thanks to BronteBeach who transferred this bra to me.

I have the Cleo Martha in the same size, so I got this cut-twin, too. I like both patterns, but the straps of the Cleo Rita are even more fun https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" /> They're not pink, which works better with a lot of tops.

I would probably rather need to wear a 30E in this style, but it's still okay. (Or so I tell myself, hm ^^)
It's comfortable, the center gore doesn't stab me. The straps aren't too far outside, so they don't keep sliding off (as some bra's straps do).

It's a good style for women with wide roots.

I got this bra about 4 months after I got implants... It fit fine at the time, little did I know I was still swollen in the band and had more settling to do.

Bra was super comfortable and very pretty! Loved the pattern and thick comfortable straps! It is very thinly padded but keeps from showing the nipples. I would definitely recommend this bra or any of the Cleo line!

I am between 34DD and 34E in Cleo, but this one fits quite well, even if the top of the cups isn't totally filled. The thin padding is very comfortable, but quite fragile (hand-wash is necessary to keep it in good shape). The colours and material are great. I love it !
