Lovely color, very bright without being too neon or juvenile. I'm not a huge fan of orange but I think they made it work here.
I like that it gives me a nicely rounded but also projected shapes. I like my bras to lift my boobs up and out, and this does the job reasonably well.
The shape change at the very top is a little weird, but I think it works on my boobs. The one thing I don't like is that it tends to wrinkle a little right around there, even though my breast is completely filling the space, so I think it's a slight shape issue. It doesn't really show under clothes so it doesn't bother me too much.
It fits overall pretty well. I think the wires could be a little shorter and the gore is much higher than I like, but other than that I don't have many complaints. I also fit this bra in 28G in the aqua colorway.
This bra looks great, gives great lift and has a smooth silhouette for me. My only issue is that the straps have been rubbing against my skin. Not too much of a problem, but I've got sensitive skin anyway.
This was another i picked up from a used ebay lot. Unfortunately it's too small in the cup. I would say this band is definitely larger than other Cleo bands i've tried but it may be because it's used.
The top of the cups on this are a bit loose but I can't decide if that's me not quite having the right fullness requirements for the top part of this bra or if its a tad big. I think if the top section was stretch lace it would fit so much better than the stiffer lace its actually made out of. Under clothes the slight wrinkling doesn't show much anyway. This bra is fantastic for immediate projection. Both at the bottom of the cup and at the centre gore. I used to think I couldn't wear taller gores because my boobs were too close together. Turns out I actually can wear taller gores provided the cups are super deep right near the gore. If the cups aren't deep enough my breasts just push the cups/gore away from my sternum. As with other unlined bras the fabric is a bit scratchier and less comfortable against my sensitive skin.
Great t-shirt bra. I think it actually accommodates a pretty good amount of projection. I think it's good for soft tissue too. Runs a bit small in the cup.
It fits very well. Uplifts appropriately, and is close enough in the center. The cups aren't filled out to the side, and occasionally the wire feels like it might be poking, but I've never bruised or anything. The one curious thing is that the band feels tight - it digs in, and I don't consider myself fleshy - but it still rides high in the back.
Cleo's semi-sheer classic in bright raspberry with a polka-dotted little white bow on the center gore. The upper cups are made of non-elastic lace. Straps are fully adjustable and fairly wide set. The shape is pretty round and the bra not too covering.
I ordered this size together with a 30F as I had a slight quadboob tendency on my purple 30F - Cleo » Marcie Balconnet Bra (6831). This proved unnecessary however as the 30F fits pretty well and I got some noticeable gaping on the upper lace in this bigger size.
This bra is beyond adorable but unfortunately I have some quad boob going on in it. I guess my boobs just aren't as crazy about it as I am. It would fit perfectly if I was not as full on top. The band fits perfectly and the center gore lies flat. If I tighten the straps most of the quad-boobage goes away but sadly it's still there. I plan to buy this in a bigger cup size because I just love it that much. I really wish it had fit me.
I take the same size for S as PL, however I've only tried one S and 2 PL som it might not be like this in every model and of course it may vary due to shape etc.
If only there was one universal brand and cut that magically formed to your shape instantly and stayed that way.
That would be so nice. Laser scan, and out pops the perfect bra.
This one is a total fail for my shape. It flattens my profile a lot and gives an awkward quadboob at the top. The worst part is it comes so high that it cuts into my armpits. I don't think I'll even try wearing this one.
Comfortable, my first underwire bra so take a grain of salt. Only $22.20 on Amazon. I wish the straps were wider and the underwire is a bit big for my root but not too bad. All in all it's pretty good.
Ended up getting a smaller cup size, the 30F was a better fit for me.
I really like this bra. There's a touch of wrinkling at the deepest point of the cup on my smaller boob, but nothing that would affect the fit. The top doesn't show under shirts the same way the scalloped top of the Cleo Lily does, which is a definite plus. A lot of people have complained about the line at the top and how it cuts in too quickly but I've found it great for my boob shape. There's a tiny bit of wrinkling at the bottom of the cups but only if you scrutinize them - maybe there's a little more room there than I have at the bottom of my boobs. Very comfortable EXCEPT that the cups are a little too wide, which is irritating. The bird print is beautiful!
Do you find this more closed on top than the Lily?
I feel like the top edge, above the middle seam, comes in more quickly than it does in the Lily, so the top line is more abrupt and therefore probably a little more closed on top than the Lily.
Cup width is too much for my narrow boobs, and I can't seem to fill out the top even though I should be able to. Maybe a bit too open? Unlike my 32E - Cleo » Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) there is a lot of space up there, even for my tall roots. I tried a 30FF since I am straining a bit with the cups on my 32E and could probably do a 30 band, but it looks like 30F might have worked better. I would compare this to the problems I had with the Meg, though, and won't be trying the 30F even if I find it (likely there will be in-cup quadboob). Sad, since the pattern and blue/teal is gorgeous.
The band runs a bit large for me, but will probably alter it to a 28 or 26, so not a huge problem.
The cups are a bit small, luckily it is a balconnet, so the side part of the cup pushes the breast towards the middle, which is great for my shape. So far, it is the best non-moulded cup I own, I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life with moulded bras, or non-attractive side support bras.
Update.. I have now tried on the 30G, and realised that the wires are not too short and digging in. I would need a 28GG to have the perfect fit, but 30G is good enough for now.
I bought this in Bravissimo's exclusive colourway (cobalt blue), and I feel like the fit is consistent with other colourways. Same uplifted, rounded shape. Good for my FoT boobs. Wires don't poke on me. It is comfortable to wear the whole day. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
I have a Cleo Juna in the same size and the band stays put, but the gore digs in. On this bra, the gore feels fine but the band rides up, as if my boobs are trying to escape the bottom of the bra.
This bra is awesome. It really helped me figure out that I am definitely full on top. This gives my breasts a wonderful lifted and rounded shape that I never thought possible in an unlined bra. The cup is slightly too large and the wires slightly too wide. The band is a teensy bit too tight but is fine with part of an extender.
However, I hate pink. There's also yellow and bright blue. I seriously cannot wait until the beige and black versions I've heard about come out. I like elegant and sexy styles as opposed to the fun brights and prints this brand is notorious for.
30F/FF tall and narrow root, average projection, full on top
This is listed as a sister cut off Marcie (which fits me great) but it definitely fits differently. The problem stems from the embroidery on the top mesh piece of the cups. It makes the top edge less stretchy and forgiving causing it to cut into the top of my breast. Add into the mix my tall roots and it just spells disaster even though the cups are the right volume. The band is very tight and fits more like a 28 in my opinion.
This bra almost seems to fit perfectly but something's not quite right. Maybe it's because the only other properly fitting bras I have are plunges while this is not.. Anyway, when I stand just so, it looks like it fits perfectly, but then I move in a certain way (any way?) then bam - quadboob. I'm heavy on bottom rather than top, and a cup size bigger causes gapping, so I'm not sure what would cause/fix the issue.
I bought this in the color raspberry. The bra has for me a good projection, as I do need deep cups. Altough I do have a little wrinkling at the top since I'm more FoB, but below a shirt it is not noticeable.
I take the same size for S as PL, however I've only tried one S and 2 PL som it might not be like this in every model and of course it may vary due to shape etc.
