    Short, projected, slightly narrow, close set, center full, even breasts....

    Two tenths of an inch more cup width and a narrower gore, and I would keep this bra. This is a comfortable Cleo bra; a first for me. The fabric is lightweight, slightly stretchy, and soft. However, the cup width is .2" too narrow. Sigh. Strangely, when a cup is too narrow, not only do I feel discomfort under my arm, but also the pain radiates into the center of my breasts. This is not a sensation I can tolerate for more than a few minutes.

    Please note: the band will stretch beyond 31". However, the wires distort at ... 31". I have a 28" underbust and sized up to the 32" to eliminate wire distortion. If you don't require maximum immediate projection, the distortion may not bother you. I may have a slight omega shape to my breasts and need as much immediate projection as I can find.

    This band is too big because I receive very little support. But, when supported by a band more appropriate for a 28" underbust, my breasts become very close-set from top to bottom. To date, I've found one wired bra that can both support my breasts and has a narrow enough gore. And, the support from a too-large-band is less than I receive from some wireless options. Wireless is my preference until I can find a gore narrow enough.

    Despite my affection for Cleo's choice of fabric and the excellent immediate and center (near the gore) projection, this lovely will journey back to the vendor.

    • This is an excellent review. It doesn't come up too high in the pits? I might try it since the fabric is soft. Compared to other Cleos did you size down in the cup because of the stretch or is it scaled for that?

    • I sized down in the cup and up in the band compared to Curvy Kate. In this fabric configuration, it will be less supportive than CK Florence in your range. I hope they increase the fabric sturdiness for the upper range...it is delicate.

    • could you bend/stretch the wires a bit wider? its a shame they're too narrow, considering all the pluses of this bra. Also, I've always had to size up in curvy kate compared to my cleo/panache/fantasie size, too.

    • It may be possible, but the fraying at the ends of the wires makes it feel like it won't last long. And, for $50, I want a better bra. If I find it for less, I may try. :-)

      And, I'm selling nearly all my underwired bras. I've finally accepted, I can't tolerate the wires sitting on my breasts anymore. The wires sitting on my breasts is causing swelling, heat, and pain. When I read about the signs of breast cancer, these are near the top. My breasts are happy (no heat, swelling, pain) in a bralette. It seems a clear message.... SIGH. If I have anything you'd like,...fire sale. ;-)

      I'm sorry they aren't working for you! On the plus side we are in the era of cute cheap plentiful bralettes. I hope you find your ultimate wireless bra.

    I wanted this bra to fit so much! It's really cute. The accent colors are much brighter than I expected, and it's fairly comfortable for a bra with so much lace. It felt really fun to wear this bra. It does not work for me because the size I got is wrong. The band sometimes feels too big but mostly the cups are too small. I have very soft tissue and even though I'm more full on bottom, it still gave me some quad-boob. One band size down and one cup size up and it might work perfectly for me. Heads up for anyone looking to buy this bra, the fabric is fairly transparent, enough so that nipples show underneath.
