The Panache Cleo Jo is a really fun and cute bra for that more youthful look. Slightly wider straps (1/2") and they are comfortable. The seams are unobtrusive and there is a light foam lining, and it also has a plunge shape, so it is a good choice for under low-cut t-shirts (darker ones, otherwise the print will show through).
The foam lining is very soft and thin, almost as if it isn't there -- I think it's the softest foam I've ever felt and I'm thrilled with that. The combination of the plunge shape and thin fabric means this bra doesn't offer much in ... the way of support though, so take that into consideration if you're larger busted.
Also, the band is quite light and stretchy, so no cheating on the band size... you must measure accurately and buy the band size that is closest to your actual ribcage measurement. For example, my ribcage measures 27.5" around. I bought a 30 band in this because it was the smallest offered at the place from which I was ordering, but I'm already wearing it on the center hook so a 28 would have been better.
The printed overlay fabric on the cups feels delicate, so this is definitely a hand-wash-only item.
Overall a cute, fun bra and well worth the price (and the hunt). Purchased Spring 2010 from Bare Necessities.
