Shape is incompatible with me and the cups are too wide. There's is space out near the armpits while I spill out the center. It's a cute bra but it just plain doesn't work for me.

The band is pretty firm so that's nice, but it would be better with 3 hooks (but I have that opinion for every bra).

I like the fabric pattern and the way it feels. Sorta 'shishy', by which I mean the noise I make in my head when I run my fingers/had across it. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> It does pill a bit but I don't care much about that.

This bra isn't a great shape for me; it's definitely more shallow in the cup and wider in the wires than I need. I'm quadboobing in the center and not getting enough immediate projection. Also, although when I measure the band it only stretches to 29" without distorting the cups, the band feels big and rides up in back. This could be because I thought I had gained some weight and become more of a 30 band but was wearing bands that ran small and so am still more of a 28, though. The band *is* still very stretchy on all Junas I've tried; ... when I had one that "fit" when I was a 28H (wrong shape still), I was on the last hooks after only a few wears.

All that said, it is very, very comfortable. I could justify keeping it for that I would, but I'm very picky and want bras to give a very up front, rounded shape, and this doesn't do that for me. For someone with wider, shallower boobs, I think this would work really well.

The Zia is a cute and fun bra. It gives me a very flattering shape, although I really need maybe a cupsize up. It's just a *tiny* bit quad-boob inducing after swooping and scooping.

The band is nice and snug for a 30.

The shape is rounded with a lot of "forward and out" motion to it when I wear it. It really gives me a feel of being lifted and supported when I wear it.

If anyone does have a yellow Zia in 28G/GG or 30FF/G, though, let me know! I'd LOVE to have the yellow version.

Loved this bra, the fit is just right (for me) when I was a 30FF. The colour/pattern really grew on me, and the shape it gives is nice. Hardly visible under shirts, all around great bra.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Lucy. It's one of my most comfortable bras, fitting my shape beautifully, and a great everyday bra, I just find it ... kinda boring?

The good: comfortable! The gore height is perfect for my close-set breasts (although the width is definitely not perfect - but strangely enough the gore just kinds of folds happily over itself so one wire rests atop the other and the whole thing still sits flat and comfortably). Wings are high enough to keep me contained, band is snug (probably snugger on me than it's supposed to be because of the gore folding, but it's perfect for me). ... Truly fabulous lift and shape under clothing, both frontal and in profile. I honestly love the shape this bra gives me without resorting to lining/padding.

The bad: I don't like the frontal view of the bra. The gore is too wide for me. The wires are technically too wide for me - but it's more comfortable than too narrow.

Which is really not very much bad at all. The Lucy is fast turning into my favourite everyday bra.

(This review is for the red colour way. I also have the white colour way, which I find fits the same.)

The 30FF Cleo Lily Bra in Parrot Print fits very much like my red Cleo Marcie when I first got it. The profile is round. The gore is 3" high, about 1.5" too high for my very close set boobs. The cups are filled at the bottom and top. There is a little looseness in the mesh where it meets the bottom fabric. It took a few wears of the red Cleo Marcie for the cups to mold to my shape perfectly.

Unfortunately I can't wear gore higher than 1.5" and be comfortable for longer than an hour. The fabric of this bra, because it's meeting such a high gore, also covers an amazing amount of my upper body. I could only wear this with crew necks because I'm petite.

Very comfortable, actually holds the boobs all in place and front and center. Doesn't show up under t-shirts (except the reeeally tight and thin ones). The top lace lies perfectly- doesn't wrinkle or cut in, which is awesome. True to size for cups and band.

I think the sizing was originally right for this bra but not the style. Plunges never worked for me but I thought it was just due to size...apparently not. I've read around the internet that chests that are full on top are best for plunges and it seems mine are more full on the bottom so I suppose that's what the issue is. I've also noticed a weird creaking when I move in it sometimes.

I am even/average projection/firm, and on me the bird-print Meg fits perfectly from underwire up to the horizontal seam, and the top edge of the cup is also just right, and the wire width is fine. But then there's that odd little bubble in the fabric in between the horizontal seam and the top edge that makes me wonder exactly what breast shape this bra is designed for, with that extra space combined with the super-closed top of the cup. It's the oddest cut I've ever tried in an unlined bra.

It actually fits me a lot better than I expected, with just a little bit of the looseness ... in the top section for which the Meg is notorious. It's fine under thicker tops, although I wouldn't try it under anything tight/clingy.

I was never exactly sure what people meant by an "elf-shoe shape" when it came to bras until I put on the Meg, which combines a perky lower half and an almost flattened top when in silhouette. Now I get it! Again, it looks okay under thicker tops/layers.

For $20 nonreturnable, I'll keep it and wear it. The bird print is lovely; I only wish the bra was less unforgiving in the cut of that top panel.

Great bra so far, only my second wear. I love that the straps on this bra don't jam into my armpits/sides of my arms. The breasts point forward too instead of to the sides which I prefer. It's a very sexy bra and feels comfy too.

This bra is great but I would like to try it in a larger cup size. The gore does not sit flat for me. The straps could be wider for better support.

This bra is too small for me in the cup (30FF), but the band size is perfect (I usually wear a 30-32 G-GG). I believe it might run small overall. The straps are a little short and thin, so they dig into my shoulders. The material is very smooth and comfortable with little 'itch potential.' It's very cute overall, and I like the button at the center instead of the usual bow- nice touch. I will definitely try to find this in a larger cup size, I like it a lot!

The most comfortable bra I've worn. Perfect all day. I don't even want to take it off straight away when I get home from work! It stretches during the day but still offers firm support. Sometimes I feel the need to pull it up at the cups to make the gore sit square on, but only a minor niggle, as most other bras require constant readjustment.

The shape I get from the Cleo Marcie is wonderfully rounded, front and side. Its reputation is well earned, I feel. This colorway is clear and vibrant. It reminds me of ads for Caribbean beaches with their incredible turquoise and blue water. That is, in fact, a big part of why I bought this.

I wear a 30F in most bras, but in the turquoise Cleo Marcie, I wear a 30FF. The sides are high enough only if I go up a cup size because Cleos in general, and certainly the Marcie in particular, have somewhat low sides. For someone like me, with ample fullness on the sides, higher ... wires on the sides prevent bulging under my arms. The problem is exacerbated by the firmness of my tissue, which is not easily corraled.

Though I have a lot of side fullness, there is only about 1/8" between my breasts. I haven't worn a center gore higher than 1.5" in months. Occasionally I wear a bra with a 2" gore, which is considered low, but that is suboptimal. I haven't actually worn the gorgeous turquoise Cleo Marcie out of the house, which is a shame.

I know lots of women with different types of fitting issues find success with the Marcie. My main issues arise from having lots of firm, full tissue on the sides. In terms of full on top versus full on bottom, in a bra my boobs behave full on top. Out of a bra, they look even to full on top. My root is medium wide. The Cleo Marcie is wide enough for me. I wish they would come out with a Cleo Marcie with a 1.5" gore, in the red, turquoise, purple colors they've already used.

This is my best fitting bra. From the front you get no boob out past your sides. Everything is thrust forward, deeply, without being at all pointy, and everything is enclosed in the cups. The overall effect is very streamlined for a large bust, and the boob tissue is distributed evenly north and south, with no spillage. The band is on the tight side, but not uncomfortably so, and the bra fits true. No cons, it is perfection.

A lovely bra that suits my breasts perfectly. Best bra I've ever had, so far.

The Cleo Juna is a bit loose in the band, the cups are as expected. It's in a smooth fabric with padded cups, which makes the flimsy lace on top noticeable. The straps are also quite thick, and wide apart.

I really wanted this to work, but just too small in the cups for me. Wire fits perfectly, so I don't think it's a size issue, more of a cut/style issue.

This is probably the best fitting and most comfortable bra I've ever put on. And it's nearly invisible under even tight fitting shirts. It's a full band without looking bulky, and it passes the pinky test. I hate to even quibble on such minor details, but it would be nice if it had a three hook closure instead of two, and the way the straps are attached at the back is supposed to be cute, I guess, but it does show just a touch through thin shirts.

This might be the perfect bra for me, if the underwires didn't dig into my ribs. I'm hoping maybe this goes away after a few wears, because I really love this bra and it's perfect for my shape (full on bottom).

Otherwise, the band fits just tightly enough, the straps are a bit wide but good, and I fill out the cups perfectly with no wrinkling or gaping anywhere. I wish the underwires weren't so stiff, but this seems to be a problem with me and Cleo bras. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
