After my small success with Marcie, I decided to get Minnie as well because it's a sister-cut of Marcie. Turns out it's slightly different.
The band feels like a tight 30, or loose 28, which is usual for unlined bras from Cleo. I love the neon pink accent on the hooks and the bow at the gore! It's pretty https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I usually wear 28Cs these days, and I could use the middle hooks, whereas I had to use the innermost hooks on raspberry Marcie.
As for the cups, they seem to be a bit more projected(or larger?) than those of Marcie. The measurements are ...almost identical, but for some reason Minnie doesn't work as well as Marcie for my shallow chest. I get wrinkles on the outer side of the cups and gaps around the gore. Minnie has a bit more room around the gore than Marcie. The top of the cups are open, similar to Marcie. I imagine it's good for FoT. The cups are single layer but not see-through. The cups of Minnie feel slightly stiffer than Marcie. Read more 75 more words
*Disclaimer: This bra is not remotely near my size but I have set the fit anyways to get the bra to 100%. I received this bra for my grandmother, who measures 27-28 inches in the ribcage with wide, empty breasts or extremely full on bottom.
This is a very cute bra, especially the print and overall design. I would say this bra is not for very full on bottom or empty breasts, a small bit of upper fullness is required but this bra ended up fitting my grandma better than the 30B - Cleo ยป Nyla Balconnet Bra (7571) of the same size. I feel like the only thing really off is the cups are pretty narrow and doesn't contain all of her tissue on the sides, but I have no idea what to look for in terms of extremely wide but probably flat bras.

This bra is super adorable, with its bright colours and pink lace. I would totally want one in my size if the gore wouldn't be so incredibly tall. The band fits my grandma perfectly on the loosest hook, however the cups are very empty at the top portion. I am not sure if this bra is suited for even or FoT people, but it doesn't seem to suit her breast type (but please note she is 85 years old).
I love the way this bra hikes 'em up around my ears without being padded at all. It is very comfortable once broken in. I am still trying to find the right style and size for me and this one is pretty close but I do get a little bit of spillage on the tops of the cups. It's not a severe quad boob effect but I wonder if I should go up a cup size on this one.
Edit: after measuring the bra, and my boobs, I definitely need to go up a cup size or two or three. Eeeep!
The color is true to the stock photo, a bit darker shade of hot pink.
I was hoping the band would run tight like other Marcies from previous seasons, but this one seems to be true to size. I normally wear 28Cs, and right out from the package I had to use the innermost hooks. The back is straight so I imagine it would be easy to alter the band when it stretches out.
The cups are very shallow-friendly. The tops are open, as expected, and the laces sits nice and flat. I don't think I'm FoT, but this seems to work pretty well. Also, even though it's non-padded, it's pretty discreet under shirts and tops, which is great! The fabric is slightly see-through, making it a bit more fun, in my opinion https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
Other than the band being loose on me, I love this bra. Really comfortable and fun yet wearable on day-to-day basis. If Marcie was available in 28Cs I'd be hoarding them.
