Returned because it just didn't seem that high quality, like the underwire channel wasn't completely filled with the wire end to end. Also way too big on the top and too small on the sides, just not right for my shape.
In this bra there are two fit issues for me: I've adjusted the straps as long as they will go, and they're still very snug. Secondly, the wires are not long enough/they don't come up high enough along the sides of my body. This causes some tissue to spill into my armpit, but it's minor compared to many bras that I've tried. This bra looks great; I love the fabric and lace, and I appreciate its simplicity without all the frills.
It fits a bit better now, so I've kept this one. While I still don't fill the thinner part of the cups at the top 100 per cent, my boobs fill the bottom of the cups fine now. Under a shirt it looks fine. I absolutely agree with bracrastination , by the way. Bella and Marcie are definitely different and the Marcie would by my no. 1 recommendation for wide root shallow boobs among unpadded Cleos. (In the Marcie this size fits me as if it was made for me, and right before my period my blue 30DD Marcie is even a bit small at the top.)
This is such a cute bra but it doesn't fit me properly. I bought it on Bratabase with my new bra size in mind but underestimated the cup size I would need in a 30" band. So disappointed because this is an awesome bra!!!
I have a few minor fit issues with this bra, but the biggest issue I found was in its quality. I ordered this bra from an online retailer, and I found that the top of the right cup rolls outward. When I tried it on, the left cup fit perfectly, and as my right breast is a tad smaller, I had slight gaping. Thinking this was a normal asymmetry issue, I removed the bra and adjusted the right strap tighter. Again, gaping. So I readjusted the strap even tighter. At this point, the strap was digging into my shoulder, and the cup ...still gaped. Finally I took the bra off and looked at the cups -- and low and behold the right cup seems to be mis-formed. The outer half of the right cup edge rolls outward by about 1/4 inch, while the left cup has a smooth, even, gentle inward curve the entire length. I hope this is simply a defective product, and will be contacting the retailer about a replacement. I will update if and when I receive a new bra. Read more 86 more words
This is such a fun bra! If only the wires were a little longer I think it would be a perfect fit for me. I adjusted the straps to be as long as possible, and they're comfortable but very snug. I could use another 1/2-1 inch of length on them. This bra provides a nice round shape and it seems very solidly constructed. The satiny print used for the cups has essentially no stretch to it, and the aqua fabric used in the wings is double layered. The netting at the top of the cups is also doubled and the top layer is embroidered with doves and butterflies.
I adore the shape that this bra gives me. I just wish it wasn't yellow gingham! I was very put off by the color at first, but the fit is so spectacular and it's quite comfortable, so I guess I'll be keeping it.
This bra looks better in pictures. The band is a bit snug (which is ok, because it'll stretch), and the center gore is a bit tall for my taste (and pokes my ribcage), but the biggest problem is that the lace trim at the top of the cup is a little baggy. The rest of the cup fits all right, but the two types of material are so different that I feel this has to fit 100% perfectly or else you'll get lumpiness or quadboob at the seam in between.
This is the first "proper" bra that I have tried on. The band fits well (from what I can tell) and is comfortable but tight on the loosest hook. My breasts are very pendulous and soft, so I can have hollowness or quadboob depending on my arm position. I also have some armpit fat on my left side, but I believe that is just migrated tissue from wearing the wrong size for too long. I like this bra a lot, so I am hoping to get it in a proper size!
My favourite cut at the moment (I have the Rihanna too). This bra looks nice, fits me perfectly and is just very comfortable. Like its more colourful sister models, the Juna runs a bit smaller than other bras, so I went up a cup size. The only thing that could be better are the rings attached to the straps: because I need very long straps, these come to rest on the bones in my shoulders and this can be a bit uncomfortable after a while. It's not a big deal, though. As long as you don't need super-wide wires this is the perfect bra for wide root shallow breasts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />.
I think it's a great T-shirt bra for wide root shallow breasts. I had some very slight gapping at the top of the cups, but the elastic lace covered that. What I didn't like about the Maddie in this size was that the cups came up fairly high under my arms, so that the top of the cups would peek out under a tank top. I know this is normal for a lot of girls here, but I don't usually have this problem. Because of that and because I couldn't decide which size to buy (as my boob tissue seems to keep migrating), I sent both Maddies back in the end.
I can still get away with a 30D in Cleo Ellie some of the time, but this 30DD fits me better, really, and gives me a nicer, rounder shape now. The lace (as well as the straps & closure in the back) is a darker red than the slightly orangey lace on the Rita (this bra is new, though, and my Rita was used, so maybe the colours were a bit faded). My photos don't show the colours accurately. Like the Ellie, Juna or Rita it's a very comfortable bra that is particularly suited to wide root shallow breasts.
The 30D was too small on my larger breast, but the 30DD is perfect. Unfortunately this leaves gapping on my smaller side, but a push-up pad fills it up pretty well. Love the strawberry color way, and the briefs are adorable too!
This bra felt pretty darn comfortable, but did not give me all the tell-tale signs of a good fit. The band itself is either too long or much too stretchy for my liking. When, swooping and scooping, I would get some quadboob, so the cups may be a tinge too small. This may not be a problem with the bra itself because I suspect that I may be a 30E or 28F (for a 29" underbust). It would give a nice, comfortable shape for whoever it can fit.
A pretty white plunge that is really really lightweight and... noisy. The bra makes foamy/crinkly noises when stretched in any way, quite interestingly. Aside from that it looks like it may fit full on top breasts better as the tops/top corners can gape if your breasts are full on bottom. That was my issue with this bra as well, as well as the band being too big for me. It is however a really comfortable and pretty bra and it doesn't appear to show too much through tops (though I assume it would show greatly through thin fabric). There seems to be another review here with pictures of the bra worn: http://balkonetka.pl/katalog/bra/panache-cleo-beau-6 .
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).
Love this bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Colorful pattern, comfortably fitting - Cleo has outdone itself.
For me, this bra is a very good fit. It's not my most comfortable bra (but I have really high standards now), but it fits very well and I like the bubbly color!
The Cleo Harry fits similarly well as the Cleo George and Cleo Brooke, only the band ist a bit less tight (which is better for me). There's a bit much lace fabric in the upper half of the cup, but that's no problem.
Cleo Frances fits best of all the Cleos I've tried so far - no wrinkling in the upper half of the cups, the band is not as tight as George's and it gives a very nice shape. And as a plus: I love the colours. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />
