Although this bra is the same size as my Cleo Melissa the cups seem to be slightly larger. There is no fit issue at the top, but I can't quite fill the bottom. (I'm full on top, so perhaps this would better fit someone who is equal or full on bottom.) The band is also stretchier than my Melissa's band, so I've ended up fastening it on the first or second hook even though I've only had it for about a month and a half.
I like the bra, but I should have examined the fit more closely when I bought it.
Man, I wish this would have worked out! It is GORGEOUS, but unfortunately I ran into the same problems as many others did. I had some extra space at the top of the cup despite completely filling it out. The wires and shape were awesome, I felt very supported. I almost wish I would have kept it and had the issue fixed by a tailor.
I loved this bra the moment I put it on. The band is snug but not uncomfortable. It gives a nice form, is comfortable to wear all day and looks lovely - what's not to like?
The Melissa lives up to its reputation as the "gotta have it" bra. It's prettier in person, I think. My one issue with it is that I don't quite fill the top enough for the lace to lay flat, or lay at all, really, but this doesn't bother me.
For me, this is a great everyday nude bra. It covers really nicely and is super comfortable. I sized up in the cup but not in the band (as has been suggested by others here) and it was a good idea. When I scoop and swoop, the lace lays flat on my larger boob but not my smaller one, but it also has just the tiniest bit of spillage on the larger side and a tiny gap on the smaller. I don't think that the spillage is noticeable and I much prefer how the lace lies flat.
By boobs are shallow and soft, and this bra has a ...little bit of lift and creates a really nice shape. The sides are nice and high to corral all of the tissue, including the dreaded "Tail of Spence." The seams on the cups show under tight/thin shirts, but not enough that I'm uncomfortable wearing it.
My only fit issue: the gore starts to dig into my sternum by the end of the day, especially if I haven't been very active. It is not a major issue in my book, as by then I'm about ready to take it off anyway. Definitely NOT a problem during the work day. Read more 98 more words
Unfortunately, I find myself re-adjusting throughout the day with Lucy, but I think that may be due to the wires not being wide enough for my root (especially on my right side). On the bright side, I really like the feminine look of this bra. The navy/pink/purple combination is cute, and it's comfortable to wear though not a perfect fit for me. I find the band very snug even on the loosest hook.
Despite the quadboob I achieve when I aggressively swoop and scoop, I really like this bra a lot. It's a great everyday bra; perfect to wear under t-shirts and the like. I like the satin quality, and the strawberry color is lovely. The cups contain my tissue completely, and I like the rounded look it gives. The band isn't super snug, but it's not loose on me either. It's very comfortable to wear; I just need to try a cup size larger in this bra.
Love this bra! T-shirt bra but also great for cleavage. Brand new condition - bought, wore once, decided I need a band smaller. Will trade for other 30FF's or selling this one for $20 plus shipping.
Seems to fit mostly fine, except that there's some wrinkling directly under the straps even though the rest of the cup is filled/over-filled, and it increases the appearance of armpit pudge. Also not too big on the color.
The fit on this one was much better than for the 32E, but the straps still rub. I tried letting them out pretty far and tightening them up really well, but there was still some rubbing. It's unfortunate because the bra is very cute.
This is a great sexy bra. The cups are molded and pretty stiff. While I bought a Wacoal and a Natori 32G on the same day, I tried a 32G inJude, and the cups seemed comically large. The 32F fit better on me. Its most comforatble on the widest hook right now. I bought this the sale rack of Nordstorms, and also found matching hipster panties, which ride up my ass.
This bra is a very cute style. Balconet seems more appropriate than demi cup for me. I thought the cup separation was too much, but it's smaller than other bras. I think the issue is the wires are a little pokey or maybe it doesn't sit on my sternum correctly.
Like all Cleo bras, made of sadly uncomfortable materials. That said, the bra is really really cute. It seems to be of pretty good quality, and has held up perfectly for the 2 months I've had it except for some snagging on the embroidery. The cup is a little too closed on the top for me, giving me the faintest cone/pointy shape, and I should have gone up a size for my larger breast (but then the other side would have gaped. Sigh.) Support is good, but underwires don't come as high on the sides as I'd like.
Definitely more closed than the Marcie but I think should still work okay for those who are moderately full on top. Recommended if Cleo works for you because it is so cute.
This bra fits by all standard measurements, but the shape I get is a little different from my Alexa and Meg bras, even though they are the same cut. I think the combination of stiffer base fabric and softer upper lace portion make the shape a little pointier than the other bras, and I don't like it as much as I like them. Too bad, because the fabric is really cute and the bra is as comfortable as the others.
All I have to say is "wow, no" https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I mean this bra? Was so close and yet SO FAR. I pretty much tried the Cleo Jude for shits and giggles because I've seen at least one review where they stated that lol the Jude rarely works for anyone. But I'm like, it doesn't hurt to try, am I right? So. Scooting this bra on, the first thing I noticed is the way the tops of the bra cups cut in to the boobs. And this is before I scooped and swooped, even. Doing that led to the quadboobilicious effect you'll see in ...my photo. But? How is it that while the top of this bra is cutting into me, the bottoms of the cups are all sorts of wrinkling? I can only conclude that nope, these molded cups DO NOT work with the shape of my boobies. Which is a shame, because you know what works? The underwires go all the way up my sides, in such a matter that it reigns in my sideboobal areas without causing me discomfort. So I have to ask WHY. Why have the top of the cups cut in like that? If it wasn't for that, I'm pretty sure I could wrangle my breasts into this. I even started thinking "Well WHAT IF I removed the part of the bra that cut into my boobs? Would shit then be awesome??" Of course, this makes me curious. Are there Cleo bras that have the awesome sideboob containing abilities WITHOUT the awful tightening that occurs at the top of the breasts?? Because THAT would be the bra for me and my wide ass set boobs. Just saying. To make matters worse, this bra is actually somewhat comfortable, but what with the wonky shape, just. No. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> Read more 201 more words
I just love the design. Birds, feather prints – something for me. The band is really tight (as other Cleos) and the cups are ridiculously small. It formed my breasts front, gave nice uplift. I think it could work with bigger band and bigger cups. If you are fan of green shape, it could be for you https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";)" /> Another issue – really thin fastening with two hooks. I'm looking for wide band. The material is a little bit stiff, but nice. Now I know that I need 34F in Cleo and I'm glad because I have my Marcie <3 So thank you, Meg.
I LOVE this bra! It is the best combination of shape, comfort, and appearance that I have found in years. The style fits me perfectly; some people have problems with the deep cups, but they fit me perfectly, and I love the super round, up-front shape. The color combinations in this bra are fabulous, and the birds are so fun. As usual, I wish this bra has three hooks in back instead of just two, but the band still feels very firm; in fact, I usually wear a 30 band, but in this style, 30 was uncomfortably tight. The strangest thing with this bra (and others of the same style) is the weird sizing; this bra is two cup sizes smaller than other Panache and Cleo styles I have. I hope they continue this style indefinitely.
