I'm so excited for this bra! I have the Cleo Karen in 30FF and the band too big and the cups are too small. The band is nice and snug, not as stretchy as the Karen. I like the color/pattern better in person than in the pictures online. I'm pleased with the fit of the Maddie. It gives a nice rounded shape and does not show under clothing.

The Karen has become my go to t-shirt bra. It give a nice rounded shape and is smooth under tight tops. The band is very stretchy. Sometimes the gore pokes into my larger breast but otherwise a comfortable bra.

I have the Ariza in the midnight/fuschia color as well as the matching thong. Very pretty bra, coloring is similar to Cleo Lucy in navy/pink. The band is nice and snug, probably closer to a 28 which is good for me. Very narrow straps. The cups are true to size. There are two cons for me: the gore is too high and rubs on my sternum, and I am not fond of the shape it gives me. I've found I'm okay wearing it under loose fitting tops (scrubs) but I don't think I would wear it under anything snug.

Bought this from another Bratabase user. It has previously been altered down to a ~26 band. I'm bummed, because I REALLY wanted this bra to fit me. Unfortunately it's just too shallow and almost gives me a flattened look with a lot of quadboobing. The wires are definitely too wide, and I think the altered band kind of exacerbates the problem.
**UPDATE: I bought an extender to see if it would help. The wires aren't being distorted towards my back as much anymore and although I still feel I'm getting a slight flattened look, it's much better.

I like this bra, but I don't think it's perfect for me. The wires are a bit too wide, but they aren't uncomfortable. The center gore is higher than I would like and it occasionally digs into my sternum. The lace gapes even though I fill the cups. The print is very cute though and it's comfortable enough that I still wear this bra regularly.
