*Note: this is a pregnancy bra for me Gives nice cleavage with no padding. A little itchy like all Cleo bras I've tried but I've never kept one long enough to wash so hopefully it softens after washing.
This is my first Cleo bra, and yup their bands do run tight and firm! A 34 band in a DD cup (or a D, given my cup-filling issues) would probably fit me better. I feel like the amount of projection provided is bang on. My nipples aren't flattened, but I still get the rounded shape I'm looking for. I fill the bottom of the cups no problem, and the apex runs right above my nipples. Immediately after scooping and swooping, it looks like I fill the top of the cups fine too, but within 15 minutes or so, there's mild wrinkling and gaping, especially on my smaller left boob. Not really noticeable under a shirt, but not abtf that I'm looking for.
This bra is adoarable- I love the white polka dots on red. It fits pretty well overall, but I do have some quadboobing when I scoop and swoop so a 32F is on the way. The gore is high enough to seperate my center-heavy boobs well, and though my nipples seem to sit a bit higher in the cup that I think they should (visible though the white mesh at the top), I think that's a combination of the cup size being too small and my bottom fullness. Overall, I like this bra a lot, it's comfortable, the straps are nice and wide, and it's very cute.
I am a big fan of my 32DD - Cleo » Maddie Moulded T-shirt Bra (7201) and was looking forward to trying this as it's based on the same shape. The fit feels quite different, though, as it's more closed in the top and (I think) runs very slightly smaller in both cup and band - my usual 32DD dug in at the top, felt tight round my ribs, and just generally looked slightly too small. 32E seems a lot better so far - a tiny bit of gapping in the centre (annoyingly most of my fullness is somewhere around my armpits) that goes away if I do some assiduous scooping, and the band feels more comfortable as more of me is in the cups. Slightly unsure about where the gore sits (I get pinchy gore problems in non-plunge bras if the fit isn't absolutely perfect) but I'll see how it survives a day's wear. Fabric is absolutely gorgeous - super smooth navy with lovely pink trim.
This Meg is absolutely adorable! I love the polka dots. The shape is really round and uplifted like the Parrot and Aqua Lily bras are. I wish these were easier to find and that they came in continuity colors like black and beige. It's comfy, breathable, and provides great support.
This Lily is sooo adorable. It's the third time I've bought it as I've shrunk. I'm thinking about getting a smaller one again. It's such a good fit with such a round, uplifted shape and a supportive, but comfy band. I also love the breathable mesh fabric and he pop of coral color on the straps.
Great for shallow breasts with wide roots, but for me I felt this model ran a cup size too large. Otherwise great fit and very comfortable! Smooth, soft, and didn't show under clothing.
I like almost everything about my Cleo Lily. The color is cute, the band fits on the last hook, and the wires follow my narrow roots closely. It stays in my IMF - there's enough immediate projection. I get a lifted, centered look under clothes. It's not my absolute favorite profile, but it's pretty good!
I get some jiggle, but I don't mind.
Cons: The wires get uncomfortable after several hours of wear. I thought it was slipping down - nope, just stabbing my ribs. They're also a smidge wide in the gore, not sitting on tissue but noticeable.
There's also a weird bump in the upper part of the fabric. It's on both cups, but bigger on the left. If I had more upper fullness it might disappear, but the rest of the cup fits just fine. I think it's stretched out from being stored weird before I got it. The bump annoyingly shows under thin shirts.
This fits right as I would expect. The Kali band is one of the tighter Cleo bands but not so much I need to use a 2 32 but snug enough a 32 is fine. Kali is a more minimized shape than the Lilys, or other similars (Ellis, Pixie, Bella etc). And the wires are slightly wider and because of the difference in side angle I don't get the slightly odd armpit bubble that other cleos can give a person. And I love the little blue details, including the eye hooks. Unfortunately there isn't enough immediate projection for me. The bra isn't uncomfortable until I've worn it for a few hours but it does get pushed down and then quadding occurs.
I bought this bra from Zulily with the hopes that it would be just as great as the handful of Marcies that I already had. It is quite similar but it doesn't quite do it for me. The bra was worn only to try on and has remained unworn for 2+ years. The matching briefs in size 12/M are unworn as well.
It runs a bit small in the cups and the band is a bit to long / stretches easily. So it might fit people who are between sizes or who normally wear a 34D.
I just cant believe how soft is this bra.. The band is really good - almost like my 70DD - Ewa Michalak » Ch Owoce Leśne (573) , and the cups are nice and soft also. It gaves more natuaral look than 34D - Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) , and the lace on the top is stretchy enough to fit proably most types of boobs. As is 70E, it is one size to big for me, although, thank to this lovely material on the cups, its not that bad as there is only some wrinkling mostly on the smaller side. However, I would love to get this one in 70DD or 75D! Love the navy colour and dots on it.
Cleo bands tend to be firm, so I'm not surprised it fits a bit snug, but it is comfortable. The cups fit well, I have wide set breasts, fairly even fullness, but a bit more FoB, and pendulous.
I think this bra is the right size, because the Lucy does fit in 32E, but the wrong shape. It has an odd combination of seeming too small and too large at the same time. The top edge cuts into the tissue, but the upper section wrinkles quite a bit. I don't have a round enough shape to fill it.
It's very cute with the parrot print, though. And despite the definite fit issues, it's comfortable to wear and feels supportive. As of now I'm keeping it.
This is my best fitting bra right now and I actually own two of it. I desperately want it in my actual size of 30F, but for now the 32E works pretty well.
Fits nicely. Better fit than my 30E black Lucy. I might need to start searching for a 30F in black to replace it. This is my only white bra that I own. Not the most attractive bra ever, but it fits so that's what is important.
