I have worn this bra twice now and I'm still not sure.

I love the shape and support from my unpadded cleos so much that I don't even bother to look at anything else, but I do need something more invisible at times. ( Love the Cleo colours and patterns but they don't go well under lacy ivory tops). I tried on Maddie (very shallow) and Juna.

I had read that Juna was wide and shallow but the wires on the 32GG Juna are exactly the same as the 32GG Kira and similar to 32H erin/lily, which has been described as very narrow and deep so it may be ... wider in smaller sizes but I'm not convinced in my range, and they certainly don't feel wide.

I'm not sure whether this is a half cup or balconette (Panache call it a balconette, Bravissimo call it a half cup) and I wonder if its a different cut than I am used to in a padded style which I am not used to which makes me unsure. it does lift me very well, giving that more obvious "edge" to the top of my boobs.

So that's all positive, I wore it around the house for a while and it is comfortable, it does give more cleavage than I usually get but as it has the higher gore I don't fall out of it like a plunge, however the first day of wearing it properly, I did sort of climb out of it a bit, in the middle so it didn't give obvious quadding, but it needed rearranging a few times. Yesterday it didn't do that at all, so maybe its what I do in it that matters. I wonder about sizing up, but this one is just right for my short roots and I do fill out the whole bra.

All in all I am undecided if this is my invisible bra or if there may be better out there, I have yet to tackle washing it (how do you wash a padded bra???), and will see how it goes. It does sell at an amazingly low price!

Does anyone know of any others I should try without sending to Poland? (I have noted that Beige Marcie is back in in Bravissimo so may try that one next if they have ironed out the issues).

Researching this bra before I bought it, I found two things repeated a lot: the Juna is good for shallow breasts, and the Juna runs a bit small in the cups. I'm usually a 30H or 30GG, depending on the bra. I'm also shallow. I decided that I would go with the larger of my two usual sizes, in deference to small cups. When I went to make my purchase, however, I found that 30H was out of stock -- so I sister sized up to 32GG. This was not a great decision, nor was going with the bigger cup size. This bra is laughably large on me. ... The band (which doesn't seem particularly firm) is too loose. The cups gape and gape and then gape some more. I think a 30GG might have fit, but there's so much extra space in the cups that I can't be sure. (I've ordered a 30GG Darcy, a sister cut of the Juna, and will edit this review when I try the Darcy. The issue may also be one of shape -- I could just be too shallow for the Juna.*) I'm disappointed that this bra so decidedly doesn't fit, because I like everything else about it. The fabric is soft, the lace on the cups is cute, and the wires are a great width for me. And the color! The strawberry color is very bright and saturated in person -- just gorgeous. I really wish this fit.

*ETA: The 30GG Darcy fits very well, no gaping. So what I needed with this bra was to go down a cup size.

I love this bra! So does my hubby! (I now have 5 of this one; 3 nudes, 1 black, and 1 strawberry - which is red, not pink.) It is really tight for the first wear or two, then stretches. I love a tight band, so I might move it to the middle clasp, but it doesn't ride up on the first hook. I Can't even get it on the 3rd hook.

Looks great under tight tees. Comfy. No poking. I think Cleo is my new favorite brand! Its' soft. I love that I can wear this under strappy tanks and not have my bra cups show!

I do have 1 breast bigger than the other. At times it might swell above the cup a bit, but not a major quad-boob. I tried going up to a 32H, but I was swimming in it on both breasts.

It's generally quite comfortable. I have some fat/migrated bra tissue under my arms, and it does dig in a bit there, but not enough to make it unwearable. The band is comfortable on the loosest hook, and the cups contain my breasts completely. The lace on the top doesn't sit flat, and my understanding is that it's not meant to. The silhouette under clothes is nice, round, and smooth.

Cuts in slightly at the top, but there is a little bit of extra space on the sides. Makes my breasts look massive. Doesn't look right under t-shirts but might be fine under something more forgiving. Also, it's pretty comfortable.

The 32 is a much better fit than the 34 on a 33" ribcage, but the GG cup is undersized even when I take into account the drop in band size. The 34G results in a little quadraboob, but the 32GG substantially does so I'll be seeking a 32HH. Fit/sizing issue aside, it's a pretty good bra. Very good shape, comfy, well made, limited show-through under clothing. I like the lining & smooth, skinny straps. Wish it came with 3 or 4 hooks instead of 2.

Great, comfortable t-shirt bra. Runs true to size. Straps are padded and extremely comfortable. Cups are also padded with a comfortable material. Wires do not poke or rise too high under arms, center gore fits well. Appears smooth under t-shirts. The only problem is that the lace on the cups does not lie flat.

this and the curvy kate princess were the first bras i bought, i grew out of them really quickly. its a pretty bra, comfortable to wear. i even liked it so much i bought the ellie and rihanna (in my new right size). those are the bras i wear when i want a bit of cleavage, i even wear the too small juna now and then when i want even more cleavage.

The wire is quite narrow and cuts really badly at my armpit. The center gore is really high and left me bruised. My boobs also spilled a bit towards the centre, even with the high gore, since the cups are quite seperated from one another https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
When I put it on it fit okay, but my boobs bulge just a bit. But after wearing it for just a short while, I was red and sore from the wire.
Very very uncomfortable.
I didn't get muscle pains as much as with some.
But I will never wear this again, it was extremely painful. It's a shame since the cup itself was alright except for a little bulge.
The band was probably too tight, but I think a bigger band may be too big. A bigger cup would have an even higher center so I don't think that would work.

I bought this bra as a 'feeling bloated' / 'that time of the month' bra, when I usually require a bra with a slightly stretchier band and a cup size larger than usual. The band was tight enough when bought, but stretched out quite a lot after the first wear to the point that I could do it up on the middle hook at the end of the day, instead of the loosest. This should kinda be expected since the band fabric is very stretchy, but not too much of a problem, if like me, you sometimes sew the band to make it smaller with your fave bras that become a bit too loose yet you can't part with them! As for the cups, they give a nice rounded shape. The fabric is nice and not scratchy. I bought the bra in white and it also comes in black and nude. A nice comfy everyday bra https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />
