Band and straps were scratchy! Other than that and the band being tight, this one seemed good. Only very slight cutting in on the top of the cups every once and a while.

Gorgeous grey @Cleo JoLie is comfortable and modestly, thinly padded. It has single verticle seamed cups that promote a lovely round shape. The beautiful orange & raspberry pink bow embroidered tulle cover the cups so the seams aren't visible under tight clothing. The hardware is a cute matching orange. The tops don't cut into me & neither does the leotard back.

Not my usual bra style, but pretty nice. Keeps things where they should be and is decently attractive. Best bra I've ever had but just received today (nice person on reddit sent it to me)

I tried this bra on at a boutique. I don't have enough upper fullness to fill the cup and all of my tissue is shoved toward the gore. It looks weird, it's too much. I think I need a bit more projection everywhere but esp at the wire. I tried on a 34ff which was good in terms of immediate projection but had so much more loose fabric at the top.

This is the best fit of any molded bra I have tried so far. Not great for cleavage but nice encasing. Only concern is lotsa flab spill. But don't think I can get away from that. I am getting some chafing high under my arm but that may resolve with breaking in. Willing to give it a try.

I was really, really hoping this one would work out. I love the pattern and the style-- femme, but not super lacy. Lovely navy with bright bird print. Unfortunately, the shape just doesn't seem to work for me. The 34F here was noticeably squashing the top of my breasts where the mesh band lays after I do a swoop-and-scoop. And going up a cup size to the 34FF found me drowning in bra. So I guess the Lily isn't the style for me.

With a bigger cup size, it will be perfect

This bra definitely DOES NOT fit, and never did. I was really new at bra fitting when I bought it so I wasn't sure what a proper bra was meant to be. The shape was all wrong, and it was too big all over.

This is my very first bra in my 'bra adventure' (meaning bras that actually fit). Overall, I am happy with the fit. The gore tacks nicely, though sometimes at the end of the day it can feel just a hair bit pokey. Not enough to be bothersome, just enough to be noticeable. The underwire fits into my IMF and stays there with minimal moving. I do find the straps to be a bit further set than I prefer, as they sometimes will rub along my underarms and be a bit uncomfortable. There is no wrinkling of the cups or the wings. ... The band is comfortably snug (I think I might be someone that prefers a more snug band) and stays in place.
The only real negative I have is that I get a small amount of quad boobing/'George fold' in this bra. Not enough that it is noticeable in anything but my tightest, thinnest shirts, but it is there. My boobs are quite soft after 3 kids and 70 lbs of weight loss. Overall, though, I am pretty happy with it!

Too small in the cups and too big in the band!

My breasts don't quite fill out these cups. I'll be trying a 34E. The material just outside the spot where the straps meet the cups digs into my armpits. You can see in my front-view picture that the straps actually twist into my flesh.
I like the molded cup style in general because it's similar to the VS/Soma bras I'm more used to.

I'm surprised how well this fits, actually. I have full-on-bottom breasts and was warned that Marcie rarely works for my breast shape. I don't fill the top, but it's no worse than in the Cleo Izzy, Cleo Minnie or Panache Floris. In fact, I think I fill out the top of these cups better than I did in those three other bras. Also, the material where the cup meets strap doesn't dig into my armpits as badly as on other bras I've tried in my search for a bra that fits.
I'm going to try the next size down (34E) and see if that's a winner.

I'm full-on-bottom. Unfortunately I couldn't fill out the top of these cups. I'm trying the 34E next, but am doubtful it will work because the *bottom* of the 34F's cups fit me so well! As far as the material digging into my armpits (not the underwires, but the fabric where the straps meet the cups) this was one of the worst that I've tried on.
This is a really cute bra. Much cuter in person (even with a bad fit) than in the stock photos!

Best fit I've found for my full-on-bottom (1/6) projected breasts. The material where the cup meets the strap digs into my armpit a little bit, but I'm hopeful it will "break in" and become more comfortable with use. This is my first "bra that fits."

I haven't had a chance to do more than try this one on, but for the most part it fits ok. The center gore doesn't sit flat and I spill over just a tiny bit against the top of the inner wire end.

It TECHNICALLY fits, though I think the straps are placed too far apart for me; as a result, the fabric under my arms (between the underwire and the strap on the front) gapes and fits loosely and uncomfortably. I also think I could benefit from a cup size up because of my FOT breasts.

No shape: too shallow in the bottom of the cup. Band is too big

Just the TINIEST bit of quad boob. Here's hoping a 34FF does the trick...

This bra does not fit. And it's really quite a shame as the pattern is so cute. I love the look of balconnet bra's, but I have yet to find one that actually fits me.
The band was quite tight, tighter than normal at least compared to the other bras that I own, but I was able to fasten it. It did not ride up but was just very uncomfortable. The gore did not sit flat on my chest no matter how hard I tried. There was a bit of quad-boob action and I am sure would have been much more if the gore actually sat flush. The straps fit well and weren't too wide. I guess this just isn't the baconnet for me. The search continues....
I give this 1 sad boob out of 4, just for the pattern alone :<

I love this bra. It is adorable. I could have gotten the FF, as this one is slightly too small in the cup, but not enough to send it back. I am still losing weight, so it should be fine.

Why not make a dart in the lAce? There should be a simple alteration u could make to help fill in that gap while still keeping the depth u need in the cup on the bott
