I purchased this because I originally owned and loved the Ellie. I've recently lost some weight, but ordered my usual 28G. I will be trying a 28FF in a similar style to see if it fits better--I find right now my breasts fill the cups, but the lace looks rather loose on my smaller breast.

I find that this bra is very comfortable. It is made of a smooth fabric, and the cups are lightly padded. The gore sits fairly low between the breasts and lays flat against my sternum. I love the shape of the cups--rounded without creating crazy cleavage. I do find that it separates the boobs a bit, but my breasts are slightly wide-set, so I feel this suits their natural shape. This is my go-to every day bra.

The Marcie is a very light weight, breathable bra that provides a good amount of support for how delicate it seems. The lace on the cups is very comfortable and not at all scratchy, and the mesh of the rest of the bra is equally comfortable.

I found the band to be quite snug for a 28. It's almost to the point where I would prefer to wear it with an extender, but not quite. I think for anyone who is on the cusp of being a sub-28 band, this would be a nice bra to experiment with if you're not yet ready to jump into the custom pool. ... The band is also fairly firm-- it didn't seem to me to have a ton of give to it.

The cups are, like my Cleo Melissa, up front. On me, this bra creates a nice rounded, perky shape that I really like. I think everyone has a perfect style out there for them, and it seems to me that the George/Marcie/Melissa family is the one for my boob shape. The underwires sit about a fingers length back from the edge of my root, but that's my only real complaint about the cups of this bra. Otherwise, it fits very well.

I've worn this bra for a bit, and the only thing I will say is that after a full day of active wear, the sides can dig in just a little bit. I think this might have to do with the fact that I've lost a good deal of weight recently and don't have as much padding as I am used to, however.

I have a serious case of Cleo love thanks to these bras. I've always thought Cleo's designs were often cuter and more attractive than other brands, but I largely stuck to the Juna family, which fit...

I really, really, REALLY want the Curvy Kate Princess to work for me. I really do. I am going to keep and wear this bra, but it isn't a perfect bra for my shape. The full review can be found over at my blog!

Look at this woman. Doesn't she look so happy? Look at that bra! Doesn't it look like she likes it? Doesn't it look so lacy and soft and well fitted? Doesn't the silhouette look so beautiful and...

I really like this bra, but unfortunately cannot speak to its accurate fit, because the size I currently have is a little too large in the cups. The band is a great fit, and I like the results of having three hooks in the back. I imagine the cups would be great, if they were the right size.

The fabric, when its brand new, is a little bit scratchy. I don't find this to be as much of an issue with the bra as it is with the panties. I expect this would soften with time, however.

I'm a big fan of the style of the Juna. Unfortunately, I'm in a strange place right now where a 28G leaves a bit of space under the lace for my smaller breast, but 28FF is tight enough to create a quadboob for the larger breast. I think the 28G is the best fit, however-- the lace on this bra is a bit weird, as has been pointed out to me by other braficcionados. It's a bit excessive-- if your boobs are COMPLETELY filling out the lace at rest, it seems like the bra is actually a bit too small, because it hides a minor amount of quadboobing ... underneath the lace. So, the lesson I have learned is don't pay as close of attention to the lace on this bra as you do to the actual fabric of the bra itself.

So, that said, first, I love the fabric of this bra. It is very smooth and soft, feels great against the skin. I like the slightly padded cups as well. It is very comfortable, and also provides a bit more shape without the sometimes breastplate feeling of the Freya Deco (a bra that I also love). The shape of this bra is a pleasing one--rounded, without hypercleavage, but enough of a soft, round mound on top. I think it looks great under a t-shirt. The only improvement that I would ask of an every day bra like this one would be if the bra held the boobs just a little more 'up front', but I like a pretty up front look overall.

The band of this bra is appropriately snug, however, I also own the Cleo Ellie (Juno in a great watercolor blue color) and have worn it for quite a while, and find that the band does stretch out after a while. That said, it could use slightly firmer elastic that wears better with time.

This really is my go-to bra, and I feel confidant in saying that about this new Juna because of my experiences with the Ellie and the Darcie. Also, with my improved scoop-and-swoop technique, I find the bras fit better in 28G than they did a while ago, so that's always a good thing https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Oh Curvy Kate. What a love/hate relationship we have. I love the look of your bras, and you love selling bras. I hate the way most of your bras fit, and your bras just don't get along well with my boobs.

I have this Curvy Kate Emily in a beautiful navy/blush color. It is a STUNNING bra. The fabric and the lace is soft, and the construction of the cups feels well done. I think the mixture of sheer and opaque fabric is very sexy. I also love that it has three hooks in the back--the band feels very secure. I found the band to fit pretty true to ... size, and was comfortable on the loosest hooks.

Unfortunately, the cups were really the problem. I likely just prefer a more up front look to my bras, but I didn't find the very wide set cup construction to be very flattering. Even with the bra tucked right under the boobs, the band comfortably under my shoulder blades, and all swooped and scooped in, I felt like my boobs were sitting rather low and apart. Though I think you can see it in the photos, the photos do not do justice to how low and wide it felt. I still have some confusion about whether I have wide set boobs or not, or a wide or narrow root (please feel free to weigh in!), but whatever I am, combined with being bottom heavy and fairly soft and squishy, it all didn't combine well for the shape of these cups. My breasts seemed to want to sit more up front than the bra allowed, and I didn't fill the sides of the cup well, and quad-boobed up front.

The quad boob is definitely a large issue-- you can see that one of the breasts is nearly busting out, the other is just grumbling against the lace edging a little bit. It very well may be that I just need to size up in the cups of the Emily bra and it will magically fit, but I have some concern about the already wide underwires then being still wider in the larger cup size and the bra still being uncomfortable. As can be seen from the side photos, I don't think the wires could stretch further back without starting to wrap around my back.

Additionally, because Curvy Kate straps are set so wide, I also am not sure that I could size up in the cup and then just shorten the straps to make up for any slack (which I think I would definitely need to do for my smaller breast...damn, calling it smaller so often makes it seem like the gimpy one). Shortening these straps seems to do nothing to help with the central integrity of the cup, and instead sort of dumps everything into the middle.

I might try this in a 28G, but I'm not feeling particularly hopeful. My Curvy Kate Princess in a 28G was decidedly too big, and the 28FF fits so long as I have the straps appropriately cinched up. I really do like this bra, but find the overall shape and fit to be challenging.

I've always been a big fan of the deco. I like the rounded shape it creates, and the cleavage you get from it. I struggle sometimes with the tops of my breasts not necessarily entirely filling the tops of the cups at the end of the day-- I feel like a bit of settling happens as I'm moving around. I find it to fit more true to size than some Freya unpadded bras I have tried-- the FF cups fit basically like other FF bras I own, and I don't find the 28 band to be as loose as other unpadded Freya bras.

After owning several Freyas, though, I will say that the longevity of the stiffness of the cups leaves something to be desired. I find these bras to be best within the first 3-4 months of their life https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

Definitely doesn't fit like a standard 28FF-- I would say the cups are about one full cup size too small (comparing to the 65FF CHP Malwa I have, as well as my 28FF Cleos). Well constructed, definitely makes a 'boob on a plate' look. Love the peachy colored lace, beautiful bra!
