This is my favorite bra, by far. As an added bonus, I went back five months after first getting it, and it's still in production. I'm getting more.

Very nice bra—comfortable, simple but not plain—but the cups are a bit too big. I do like the narrower, slightly padded straps a lot!

I had tried on a Cleo Marcie before (in very clearly the wrong size... 30G! WAY too big!) but this one actually seems to fit fairly well. It's a bit tight, but not uncomfortably so. It feels like the kind of tightness that will resolve itself after a day or two of wear. I also had problems with other Cleos because the gore was too tall and separated my breasts and squished into the tissue, but this doesn't seem to have that problem. Maybe because it...actually fits?! I'm pretty pleased. Hopefully after wearing this a couple days it will feel perfect.

Edited: band still too tight after a couple days wear. Not real happy with how it feels.

Really thought for the first few minutes I had it on that it was a perfect fit - I was wrong. It's a shame because it is gorgeous and the material is very soft. It is simply not compatible with my shape: I do not fill the bottom (causes wrinkling, there is almost 3/4 an inch difference between where the underwire should end and where it actually is, therefore cutting into my skin while sitting down too. Seems too big then it tends to cut on top and do a small quadboob effect. Sizing up or down would be useless, it is just not for me.

This is probably my best-fitting bra. I am even, narrow, and projected and this bra requires A LOT of projection and upper fullness. Although I measure 28:9, I wear this bra in 28:8 because the narrowness of the wires and the cup projection are almost perfect for me in the 28FF Ellis. I say "almost" because 1) the wires are a tiny bit wide, 2) I still need a bit more immediate bottom projection, and 3) the top lace gapes a bit, especially near the center gore (but it doesn't really bother me).

Now I just need to track down the elusive 28FF Cleo Bella, which I hear is rumored to be similar to my Ellis...

This quirky halfcup is a gorgeous twist to my beloved Porcelain Grace! It gives a nice round shape and the color is delicious!

This was the first bra that I actually LOVED and which started my love for soft cups!
It's fun and it gives an amazing, rounded, natural shape!

Certainly plung-y, but doesn't quite fit right.

Snug band
Solid straps

Nice lift. Stretches a lot over time.

Really limited ability to shorten the straps of this bra.

Plungy without too much cleavage.

Maddie just isn't for me. The 30DD fit best, but it is a bit small in the cup. I find the cup is just an odd shape for me and tend to flatten me out. I don't fill the cup on this one BUT at the same time the top cuts in giving my a quad boob like effect. It isn't a good shape for me.

good for ladies with average projection and full on top breasts who prefer a very snug band or who are in the 24-26" band range on a budget

Wide enough cups for me, yayyyy!
I enjoy the firm band and like the fact that cups are light - very unlike Freya Deco, which in my opinion has really annoyingly foamy cups. Although I seem to fall in the middle of FF and G, 28G did have too high wings. With FF my armpits aren't bothered.
Jude leaves me with slight quad, but it's so slight I might keep this taken into an account how comfortable this otherwise is.

I got this bra used off of /r/braswap on Reddit and I am very happy with it. It was my first bra that fits. I have very few complaints and the ones I do have are really only due to the fact that it's slightly misshapen for me. I am really pleased with the firmness in the band. The wires are a tiny tiny bit too wide for me, and a tiny bit too short. I am kind of in between cup sizes (28FF and 28G) but this is a pretty good fit. I get a small amount of cutting in on the top of my bigger breast, but it doesn't bother me.

This is such a pretty bra! I haven't had much luck with the Cleo Lucy and it was suggested I try the Marcie since the top of the cups is supposed to be a little more forgiving. The shape of the Lucy was just all wrong for me, made my girls look very awkward and unflattering, but still fit in a 28G. So I figured maybe I would do better in a 28FF with the Marcie. But the cups were a bit too small, I have a little bit of quad boob. It actually looks great from the front, but when I'm at an angle the cups just ... don't look right. The top of the cup digs in and it gives me a very pointy shape. So I think I might need a 28G in this bra after all.

The wires are just a teensy tad narrow for me but not too bad. Again, they'd prob be better if I size up in the cup. The gore was actually a little tall for my liking but didn't bother me at all. Usually the taller gores will dig into my sternum. But this fit perfectly, and comfortably. The band was a very tight, firm 28. I measure 26-26.5" in the underbust and it was a tight squeeze on the loosest hook! But again, not bothersome to the point I couldn't breathe. It felt nice and snug, perfect for me, without riding up. The straps seemed a bit too far out but weren't falling off my shoulders. I just wish there were 3 rows of hooks and eyes for the larger cup, but the bra still felt supportive. The material is a very sturdy mesh and didn't irritate or feel scratchy on my skin.

I would def recommend this bra! And I'm bummed the 28FF didn't work for me. I will be keeping an eye out for this same exact bra in a 28G (I do like the Teal colorway as well). I just hope it doesn't come down to a shape mismatch instead of a sizing issue because this bra is adorable. I really want it to work!! I'm giving Cleo one more shot with this in a 28G!

I really like this bra, however the cups are too small for me, so I am going to try the 28G and see how it goes.

Otherwise, the band is perfect for me and it gives a really nice, round shape. This bra looks really good under clothes, however, the vertical seams are visible under tighter/thinner fabrics.

The cups are not as wide or closed on top as the Jude. The Cleo Jude is really not made for women who are close-set, even or FOT, or have any center fullness. And I don't think it would be good for someone who is shallow because it's too closed off on the top of the cups.
I prefer the Cleo Neve even though it is too tall and wide.
The band is really snug which is good if you are 26"-27" underbust like I am. I can fit 2 fingers and a whole hand underneath the band.
I have ... the coral color which is pretty. Fully adjustable straps, which is very nice. I like the tiny gore with 2 little bows. Too bad I can't wear this bra. The tops of the cups are so wide and tall that the straps and the cups go into my armpits.
Which is uncomfortable and painful. It's too shallow for me also. It seems to be the opposite of the Freya Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234).
The Freya Deco Moulded Plunge Bra (4234) is almost too narrow and too projected and too FOT with no room in the bottom of the cups or the center of the cups.
The Cleo Neve has too little room in the bottom of the cups too. But that's the only thing I can think of that that the Cleo Neve and Freya Deco have in common. In all other aspects they seem the opposite to me.

I have the pink spot Zia. The band is tighter than all the other Cleos. Good if you need a 24 or 26 band.
