    32J

    Didn't fit

    I had been waiting to try this bra for several months, and finally managed to get the room in my budget to give it a try. The colors of the bra are just so bright and cheerful, and the bra itself felt light and well-constructed. The material is nice and soft--I had worried a little bit about the lace being the scratchy kind of lace, because I have sensitive skin--and it felt nice to wear. I was also relieved that the wires are lower on the sides; my Marcie is my best-fitting bra, with the minor caveat that the underwires dig in under my arms ... after several hours. With the Skye, however, I didn't have that problem; the wires are lower, but still provide sturdy support from the side. The overall feel of the bra was very supportive and sturdy; I didn't feel any slippage or undue movement when I jumped around a little or bent over.

    I ended up returning the bra, however, because the bra cut in too much across the top of my breast. On my bigger side, the yellow lace trim cut in juuuust enough to be noticeable, and it only became worse when I straightened my shoulders (and leaned over to test stability). I also had this problem with the 34HH - Cleo ยป Blake Balconnet Bra (9151), where the lace trim at the top doesn't have quite enough flexibility for me; with the Skye, however, I found that to be more noticeable and noticeable under a light top. While the Skye's lace trim had some give to it, it was apparently just firm enough not to work with my soft tissue, so I sent it back.

    32FF

    Didn't fit

    This bra leaves me puzzled. I know what's wrong (the fabric, mainly), but I'm wondering where to go.

    The band is perfectly comfortable--snug, but more "extender for aesthetics" snug than "size up" snug.

    The cup fit is about a half-cup smaller than my 32FF Jasmine--currently my best-fitting bra. The wire width and consequently the strap placement is perfect, an improvement on the too-wide Jasmine. It's quite friendly to center projection (although, like the Lily and like ALL THE BRAS, the gore is too tall for me.) However, the all-over stretch lace is giving me some significant in-cup quadboob. There's just not enough tension to smooth me out. The Jasmine ... at least has the stiff lower cup, so the slight in-cup quadding from the stretch upper portion is barely noticeable. Also, the stretchier material is just not supportive enough overall.

    But the shape of the cup is dead on, which points me in the direction of Marcie...

    But do I go by wire width and go 32FF, or do I try a 32G and hope it doesn't saw my arms off? Or do I try a 34FF or even a 34F and compromise band longevity in search of the perfect wire?

    Damn you, Nordstrom, for dumping the Marcie. Doing this in store would be a hell of a lot easier than waiting on Amazon.

    Yes, I realize that's a first-world problem.

    • I guess Cleo in general is a first world problem. Why dont you try another brand? Pamache wires are hard and long as hell.
      Try fauve bras e.g. The French know about lingerie.

      Oh, I've tried a lot of brands, and I've resorted to Cleo. :) Jasmine is okay, but the rest have failed for various reasons. I was looking for something with easy returns (i.e., not Ewa/Comexim) that's super deep and narrow (frankly, not really Comexim) and comfortable on ultra-close-set breasts (not Freya). I used to love Fauve and still have a few, but they went the way of the Dodo a few years back, and are also too wide and shallow, mosly.

    28FF

    Didn't fit

    The band 28 feels not very bad but too snug for me (im 72cm underbuts, but im not fan of tight bands).
    Recently I started wearing Marcies in 30F as they are just perfect, no wrinkles on the lace, making such lovely shape (definietly they looks better than 34D). the 28FF feels too big, maybe not full size too big but more than a half size too big.
    The wires are neither narrow nor wide, but around 0.3-0.5 cm too wide - 30E would definietly have perfect wires. But I can live with them, theyre kind of soft, softer than marcie.
    I dont know what Cleo did with the design of this bra, but the sides from cups and straps are wide and theyre little bothering my armpits. I dont know if this is caused by little too large cup or its the Skye itself. I really need to put my hands on 30E/32DD to check it out!
