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.

This bra is beautiful. I love the polka dots and the pattern of the lace. It is so much more than a black lace bra. The stretch lace makes the bra very forgiving, particularly for those who are full on top.

I love the look of this bra. The contrast of the black piping and leopard print is stunning. Its comfortable and the same is perfectly round.

I got this one in both 28FF and 30F (my usual sizes) through Prime Wardrobe. I was able to wear both, but the bands appear to run slightly tight, so the 30F was more comfortable as far as breathing room is concerned. My only (minor) qualms are that the wires are maybe a hair wide--probably not too surprising for an often-28-band--and that I have just a hint of quadboob where the main cup meets lace on my right side, which is fractionally larger. Otherwise, I found it to give a nice definition without being over-the-top, and the cups were less see-through that I was envisioning from stock photos, which is a plus.

Although the pictures look like this bra is a blue it is more turquoise. I really like the colour and it is a pretty bra with the lace on the sides.

I think it fits ok. I got the 30 as at the time i was finding my 28s firm even though i measure a 28 (just over 26 inch under bust). I think though it was just because it was summer in spain so it was hot and therefore i was finding my bras tight and uncomfortable. So i bought this in a 30 but now realise it is too loose and i ... think therefore not supportive enough. Although this might be the stretch lace sides or just the style of the bra. I want to try koko spirit in blue in 28ff and see if the 28 makes it more supportive as i thinkk the cup fits quite well.

There is some quad boob - although i marked on here that the cup fits. I really don´t know. My breasts are just very full in the centre and close together. And this is a very low plunge shape. Not sure if there is quad boob or it is just my breasts pushed together and losts of cleavage. Maybe this is the look of the bra. I don´t now any more!!! (the more bras i try the more confused i seem to be) In some pictures i thin it looks like it fits it is just cleavage, but from some pics it loos like i am falling over the cup and spilling out.

Also re the plunge i think this is very low in the front which is comfy for me as it means that the wire isn´t sitting on my breasts. This is an ongoing dilema for me though as i think in a plunge like this my close together breasts do squish together a lot. But in a higher centre then the wire sits on my breast - it seems to be a choice between one or the other.

I don´t wear this as much as i thought i would though becasue i don´t find it really suportive even though i thin it gives a nice natural but round and full shape. I just pefer my boobls to be more secure and held in than i feel they are in this bra.

This is such a pretty bra. I was afraid that I wouldn't like the floral print, but I was wrong. I love it. I would highly recommend this bra. It's comfortable, beautiful and less than $50 on Amazon. That's hard to beat. I've found that with PE the longline bras work well at compensating for the cave in the middle of my chest.

This is my favorite Bra! I want to buy it in every color.

The band feels slightly looser then on my blue 28F Marcie (http://bra.pe/XYLq/) possibly because of the darker color? Making it more comfortable but a little less supportive.
The cups are quite a bit bigger. There is noticeable gaping at the upper edge and my boobs looks a little more pointy. I expect this to fit much better when my boobs are a bit swollen.

I have tall shallow roots, with average to slight projection and even fullness. Prior to this bra, I was mostly wearing Freya half cups and this bra was an extremely welcome change. The padding is stiffer than Freya's, and the wires are slightly narrower for the same size. The lift and shape I get from this bra is incredible. It is my favourite bra. The band is pretty stretchy though. If you are in between band sizes I would recommend going with the smaller one.

Super cute, but the lace panels at the top of the cups cut into my breasts. Unfortunately will have to return this one

Very cute but the lace edge is not forgiving for fuller on top boobs. Even though mine fill the cups pretty much perfectly, the taut edge of the lace presses into the top of my slightly larger left breast causing an unfortunate quad boob effect. Going up a full cup size would be too much. Will be returning this bra

This is the orange animal print Maddie. It is truly stunning!! The orange is very bright and the pink bow in the middle is a nice contrast https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

My "normal" size is 28F / 28FF, but after reading reviews I thought the band is snug and cups on the small side. So I went for 30F and it fits almost perfectly. The band actually is not that snug, and I think I have to wear it on the middle hooks right away. So I´d definitely go for your normal band size.

My boobs are shallow with wide + tall root. The wires are wide ... enough and comfortable. Straps fully adjustable. Cups create a nice rounded shape which I prefer.

I think there might be a sewing error in my bra, however. The part of straps which is attached to the bra band and usually on the inside, so you cannot see it when wearing the bra, is outside the band in this bra. I don´t think they meant it to be like this. But if I get annoyed by it I will alter it myself.

EDIT. The strap thing is not an error!! When I took a look at the new Cleo models, I noticed that many had straps sewn to the right side of the band. I find it a little odd.

EDIT2. I have been confused because the upper cups have turned "outwards". I received some tips on how to alter it by sewing, but I´ve come to the conclusion that it has happened because the shape is not ideal for me / cups are too small - I do get quadboob.

Basic all black version of Cleos unpadded classic with the amazingly round shape.

As I've grown a little bigger lately I ordered this Bra both in a 30F and 30FF - Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831). This 30F fits as expected, but I decided to go with the 30FF as I was looking for an option for those bigger days in the month.

Another delivery of Cleos classic unpadded but very round shaping lace bra, this time in a beautiful burgundy shade with a polka-dotted white bow on the center gore. I truly enjoy the less girly more adult vibe of this colorway.
The fit is pretty consistent with other colors, maybe the upper lace is a tad looser on this one.

This bra was too big, so I won't review the fit. The bra itself seemed to be decently made, although some of the stitching was uneven. The vertical seams in the cup seem very prominent, and so does the bit where the lace attaches to the top of the cups. I was hoping for a nude bra that would be somewhat discreet beneath thinner clothing but, even if this were the right size, I don't think it would be.

The baby doll is very pretty - good quality soft mesh that isn't at all scratchy. The band runs a little tight, would fit a true 29 or 28 well. Unfortunately for me the cup size is just too small - I get major quadboob and the wires sit on my tissue. Can't really say much about the fit because it's too small for me so everything is slightly off, but it does seem more than usually open on top.

Well made, great color/fabric design, actually fits quite well, BUT, I cannot bear the gore. Within a minute or two of donning the bra it feels as if it is burrowing into my sternum. Sigh! Also, the band runs large and can be stretched to nearly 32 inches.

Very uplifting (possibly because the 30F is too small for me in the cup). It gave me natural looking Marie Antoinette/cakes on a plate cleavage. The band is very stretchy for a Cleo - it fits more like a 32". Very comfortable, lowish gore and lovely detailing. I'm not too keen on the animal print, I'd love to have a Mimi in a different pattern.

It's a nice and comfy every-day bra. I have Marcie in 2 sister-sizes and 2 colorways ( nude 30F and bluebell 28ff). The band is not snug enough for me as mostly I prefer 28 ( but during one week a month exactly this bra is perfect) and the cups are quite deep. Unfortunately nude Marcie is not exactly what I wear under my white clothes: the polka dot design is visible.

I tried this bra in multiple sizes, please see my review on the 30E here: http://bra.pe/XXHK/
The cups of the 30F are too tall and dig into my armpits. I think this is a size too big. It looks and feels quite OK.
