I got this bra just because it was in my recommendations. Just as I thought, the band is too big, and the cups too small. It's very cute, but about a quarter of each breast is hanging out of the tops, and the band feels loose on the tightest hook. I'm in love with the embroidered butterflies, I may try it in a different size someday.
The band is definitely on the tight side (I think it's the material -- it feels flexible yet strong), so I'm glad I sister-sized up to 38FF. Pretty good projection, very similar to the Bella and the Zia. The lace wrinkles just before the top edge, which moves inward quite suddenly, but I don't mind. The main material is smooth and comfortable.
This is is a very pretty bra, sadly it never really worked with my shape and I always ended up with an upside down 7. The construction is great and before I lost weight the band was firm.
This is an amazing bra. It was perfect for my shape when it fit, strap placement- perfect, tand there was no cutting in on the top of the cup. The bird charm detail and the swallow design fit perfectly with my taste (not too girly). Sadly I lost some weight and none of that was in my chest. Hopefully I can find another one of these in my new size.
I love this look. These has tighter fitting band than my other Cleo bras (Darcy). Also my breasts fit in to cups better than my other Cleo bras. I think that difference is that Millie has only fabric in cups when Darcy has padding. I need to go up one cupsize for Darcy etc. padder Cleo bras.
Wonderfully deep cups; however, the balconette straps are set too widely and rub my underarms and pectorals. The cup wires are too tall and press into my ribs when I sit. The gore is much too wide for anyone who is close-set.
I so wanted to love Meg, but I am still not sure. Sometimes the bra fits well, but as I've come to find with Cleo, it's also a very firm and aggressive fit.
The projection in this bra is the best I've found so far, and that's a huge plus. But there's not a lot of room for variation on the cup's top seam. It gaps slightly, and I do need to adjust a lot.
I am still not sure about this bra. But it is beautiful and for cup depth alone, it is a standout.
This bra is marketed on the Bravissimo website for those who love the Cleo "Alexa" and "Olivia" styles. However they are not entirely comparable. The Zia bra cups come much higher and also have a pointier shape than the aforementioned styles. Also there is stretch both in the band and in the straps which Alexa and Olivia did not have.
I reckon the fuller cups could be a problem for someone with really full on top breasts. Also the pointier look needs getting used to, if like me you're used to the Alexa/Olivia shape. The uplift is great and this Bravissimo exclusive colour is beautiful.
