This is my absolute favorite bra. I have it in multiple colors. Sits smooth under clothes, is super comfy, and doesn't move around all day.

This bra is beautiful and comfortable! I love it, but I may need to size up to 28DD because I quad out of both cups when the band is hooked tight enough for the bra not to move (the middle hooks seem good enough for me, but I measure 26 UB). I also find that the upper-outsides of my breasts are not enclosed as much as I'd like them to be (I have very broad roots), but this is a common bra issue for me.

The color is gorgeous, and the bra provides a comfortable but obvious push-up effect, despite having no push-up padding. I love that the top ... edge of the cup barely shows through a thin t-shirt (I've never met a bra that didn't on me), and it is very comfortable to wear. The material is absolutely lovely, and seems to be of high quality. I've read that some people found the lacy straps cumbersome, but I don't have a problem with them at all. The straps are actually padded, too, which makes them even more comfortable. They are not fully adjustable, however, and the metal ring which connects to the adjustable part of the bra sits in a semi-uncomfortable place for me, but it isn't too bad. I have a long upper torso, and find the straps to be a very good length (not too long or sort). I often wish Cleo bras had longer straps, but this one is great.

I tend to be shallow in the center, very shallow on top, full and projected on bottom and outsides, conical, spaced far apart, asymmetrical, and splayed. If you are similar, this may fit you very well. If you are more projected, definitely size up. The cups seem to run shallow and a bit small overall.

I am probably going to order this in 28DD (I'd like to get this in nude anyhow, and that is the smallest size that color comes in), and I will report back when I try that one on.

EDIT: After getting some fitting help here and trying this in 28DD, I realize this bra is definitely too shallow for me (despite how much I enjoy feeling like I have large breasts when I wear it, hah). Unfortunately, I get a small amount of gapping with the larger size... I really love this bra, but I think I have to give up on it. If you're shallow-breasted, I highly suggest trying it out if you can get your hands on one. FYI, the Panache Black version seems to run larger in the cup.
