Libby

My favourite cut at the moment (I have the Rihanna too). This bra looks nice, fits me perfectly and is just very comfortable. Like its more colourful sister models, the Juna runs a bit smaller than other bras, so I went up a cup size. The only thing that could be better are the rings attached to the straps: because I need very long straps, these come to rest on the bones in my shoulders and this can be a bit uncomfortable after a while. It's not a big deal, though.
As long as you don't need super-wide wires this is the perfect bra for wide root shallow breasts https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":-)" />.

I've kept Lana because of its soft material that feels very nice and comfortable (I haven't really worn this bra yet, however). Lana probably fits me best of all the unpadded Cleos from last season except for Marcie (in aquamarine - the pink one seems to have smaller cups). It gives my wide root shallow boobs a very nice round lifted shape, and there aren't any "George wrinkles".

See my reviews of the Brooke in 30C and 28D. I really like this bra, otherwise I wouldn't have bought it again https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" />. It's a good bra for people with wide root shallow breasts.
I bought this when my other Brookes eventually became too small. As I'm between sizes in the newer unpadded Cleos, it seemed a good idea to order a Brooke in the smaller of my sizes, because its cups run fairly big and open at the top. This has worked fine for me.

Like the Libby and - I guess - other Freya half cups, the Erin has much softer padding than other bras, making it very comfortable to wear, and its cups also run bigger. Because its cut is a bit different from the Libby's there are no lumps that show through t-shirts. The different upper panel can make this cut too "closed" for some people with wide root shallow breasts, but it works for me.
This bra only fits me around "that time of the month", on other days my boobs don't quite fill its cups. The band feels very stretchy and wide, but nonetheless it works for me on the second widest set of eyelets. I got this bra used, so I guess its band has stretched out while the previous owner had it.

It's a good sports bra for wide root shallow breasts, and - unlike compression type sports bras - it's not flattening. It does create a very pointy "rocket breast" shape, though. However, if you wear it under a tighter top, the shape looks roundish and okay again.
I don't think it gives as much support as other Shock Absorbers, although it's supposed to be a level 3.
This bra does not quite fit me anymore - it fit perfectly when I was still a 30C in other bras - and I measured the bust perimeter with major quadboob going on.

It fits me but so far it's not very comfortable, because the wires poke into my sternum and my ribs (not my breast tissue, otherwise I wouldn't have kept it!). I can only wear it with a folded tissue under the centre gore. I was assured that this bra would become more comfortable with wear, so I decided to keep it (also because it was pretty cheap at Brastop and I really like the colour).
I agree with denocte that the cups are very flat, especially at the bottom, but I still like the shape they give me - it makes a nice change from the round Cleo shape. The ruffles show under thin tops and t-shirts but not as much as I thought they would.
I'll write more later when I've worn the bra a bit more..

This bra is really comfortable and gives me a great shape. Obviously the decorations show through thin shirts, but I don't mind this at all. The band feels a bit on the wide side, but it stays in place in the widest hooks.
It might be a good replacement for the Merissa HC (I'm not a 100 per cent sure about this because I only ever got the chance to try on the Merissa in a 30D, which is too small for me), and I'd definitely say it's a great bra for wide root shallow breasts.

The Neve seems very comfortable so far, but I haven't really worn it for a longer time yet. The wires are fairly wide and the cups pretty open at the top, so I'd recommend this bra for wide root shallow boobs. This bra gives my boobs a great round shape, but the moulded cups gap a bit at the top when I move around, e.g. stretch my arms forward.
I don't really like purple, hence the low appearance rating from me. (I kept the bra despite its colour, because I'm desperate - I've grown out of almost all of my padded bras - and I don't like the new colourways any better; they're boring IMO).

I've got the same problem as galaxie12 , but only with my smaller boob. Under a top the gapping is not visible and this bra should fit me fine around that time of the month, when my boobs are biggest. Like with the Patsy Halfcup the cups come up a bit higher than older HCs such as the Libby.
I close the band on the tightest (of two sets of) hooks, otherwise it moves. I didn't want to get the 28 band, though, because I thought an extension would look weird on a longline and because it should be fairly easy to shorten the band when necessary. I've since discovered that it will be a bit more of a hassle to move the straps than I thought, but well, I'll have to deal with that when the time comes and the band is stretched.
Edit: I haven't put on any weight but for some reason the band stays put in the wider setting now.

I cannot really give a proper review of this bra, as I haven't worn it all that often while it still fit me well (when I was a 30C in British brands). It definitely gave my boobs a great shape, and it has a very tight band. The cups are a bit less open at the top than the PL Czarny Kropek's, but they're not as closed as some of the new Ewa plunge styles.
A great bra for wide root shallow breasts - I've no idea why I didn't wear it more often, ... maybe because the material is still quite stiff (but I'm told it would soften if worn and washed).
