likesThe straps and the band are the same on both except for the fact that Lily has a continuous band under the cups. Both are true to size 28 backs.
The cups are the same size and both are balcony cuts. Lily has a higher gore which I found uncomfortably pokey. While the cup width is the same when measured by the tips of the underwires, Lucy seems to be slightly wider just at the bottom of the cup because I have a tiny bit of empty space on the lower sides.
Both bras wrinkle on me but in different locations. Lily wrinkles slightly near the top of the cup because it's (just barely) too closed on top. Lucy wrinkles closer to the middle of the cup with the wrinkle heading towards the strap, but only on my smaller boob.
Lily feels like it has more "lift," (which I like) while Lucy has more space in the bottom of the cups. This makes sense, since Lily is supposed to be an even cut, and Lucy is supposed to be full on bottom. I consider Lily a better overall fit for me (and it looks that way too) but Lucy is more comfortable solely because of the lower gore. For the record, my best Cleo fit is Marcie.
I should note that both are well-used, so take my comments with a grain of salt.
