Wow. I never thought I would be able to wear a soft cup bra. Of course, in the past I was always trying the wrong size, so they were always way too loose, way too narrow, and way too deep for me.

This bra is not only beautiful and unique in color, it actually fits.

Technically, this shape is too full-on-bottom for me. (Would be good for FOB, maybe even-fullness as well) The top lace slides down the top of my breasts and creates a slight ridge. If I pull it up all the way, it cuts in a slight bit and then slides back down again. I ... could very easily hand tack it down and no one would be able to tell, and everything else fits absolutely perfectly. Thank you so much nufin for altering the band, it seems like it was made just for me. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> (You did a really good job too, it looks so professional!) It's really firm and comfortably tight and doesn't slide around during the day at all.

Since this is my first unlined bra, maybe it isn't right, maybe I'm just crazy. But it's comfortable and doesn't cause my pain in any way! (Except the very first breaking-in wearing, of course.) There MIGHT be slight pulling lines in the bottom half of the cups, so maybe the cups are too small? Whatever the tightness, the cups surprisingly push my breasts up and they look superbly round. (I had feared a soft cup would make me look pointy.) The cups have two layers of mesh, so they're very supporting and there's only slight show-through while nipping. The seams and embroidery would should through t-shirts, so I recommend this for medium-weight fabrics and/or fabrics with texture.

The color is absolutely gorgeous; a beautiful seafoam green. There are so many appliqués that make the bra so cute and elegant. It reminds me of a sun-dress and a grassy field of flowers! ^.^

Currently, my breasts are a bit swelled due to PMS and bloating, so the cups fit a bit tighter than they did two days ago, but it's hardly noticeable.

Altered band,

The material is sheer but also quite stiff, so I wouldn't worry about wearing it under a thin shirt unless it were white. It's an older model so the hooks are rounded instead of squared like newer Cleos, and I like that it's unique in my collection. The embroidery is very intricate along the top of the cups and the middle of the band. I'm not a fan of the flowery embellishments along the band, but they were easily removed without leaving a hole or anything. The band is quite firm, comparable to the band of the Cleo Marcie (6831) (28E, I'm not sure how comparable ... they are in bigger bands). It produces a round, lifted shape. It's made for projected shapes, so on my tall/shallow boobs, it cuts in at the top and wrinkles along the diagonal seam, producing the notorious "George fold."

I made it fit by sewing down the fold to make the cups more open on top. This reduced the depth at the top of the cup. The rest fits great. I would recommend this alteration to any shallow ladies out there. It reshapes the cups to fit like Cleo Juna (6461).

You can see my review for the look and feel here: http://bratabase.com/browse/cleo/george-balconette-5731/30DD/

In terms of fit, the cups fit the same but the band is definitely a bit tighter than the 30DD; the band fits very firmly on me. The support is really good, almost no jiggling when I walk around or going up and down stairs. The cups give a natural round shape.

The only problem is that you can see the seams and the top trim under close fitting t-shirts. This bra might be better suited for looser fitting t-shirts or a proper blouse.

Edit: I no longer wear this bra as I find it way to tight.

it makes perfect round apples out of my boobs, no poking, no cons. and the band is soo tight that once it even fits, normally everything is too wide for me.
love it, love it, love it. I collect this bra in all colors i can get, and i keep dying them too to get even more.

The best bra for my breast!
It gives nice rounded shape.
Its very comfortable!!
It didnt stretch out.
I recommend it to women with saggy breasts - it gives very youthful appearance.
