It fits! Great bra for wide, full on bottom breasts. This one is a better fit for me than the Freya Deco.

At the moment I have ever so slight quadboob on the left, has something to do with beginning to be near that time, but it will be a perfect fit in a week. Right boob fits.

dear Freya
Whose boobs do you have in mind anyway?

I am not sure what went wrong there at the top. All I know is that it's not supposed to be like that.

It's So Pretty.

I want it to work... but it doesn't want to work.

I ordered it, comparing it to my http://www.bratabase.com/bra/dhvih/ La Senza fabulous bra... but the shape is slightly different and the Cleo seems to cover more boob than the La Senza does... making the cup a marginal fit rather than a good fit. Really, just a tiny bit of quad boob with some imagination.

I considered ordering a 28FF instead, that would solve the cup issues, but it wouldn't solve the band issues. I have a 25.5in underbust, and normally 28 bands work really well (I'm not very fleshy, so there's not much to 'compress', so 28 bands work like a dream despite measuring sub-28). I'd need a 26 in this bra, and that of course doesn't exist. Even though I WANT to convince myself that this is 'fine'. It will end up somewhere over my shoulders before the end of the day.

Bye bye Cara! (And bye bye all other Juna-lookalikes with all your prettiness!)

Does Not Work For Me.

Sadly, because it's gorgeous

Well, first of, it's a lot more pink than I expected. I had the matching knickers in my shopping basket, but deleted it at the last moment. Good, I don't like the colour pink and would have regretted spending 23 euros on pink panties.
That being said, it's a pretty pattern, love the bright roses.

It's a bra that fits, so I'm willing to look past the pink for that.

The lace at the top 'wrinkles' a bit on my smaller side, but that doesn't bother a bit. The fit is a lot more 'portruding' than the Zia I have in a 28F: my boobs seem to look more 'voluptuous' in the 28E than when they actually were a 28F. Interesting. I'd feel sexy if it wasn't pink.

The band is rather tight. Good for me, maybe not so for others.

Now I understand why this one keeps on looking weird every time I wear it: cup is too big, band is too wide so it ends up somehow dragging everything down and my solution to simply tighten the straps doesn't work either....

Sadly, I've 'outgrown' this one. It used to be my most comfortable bra, and I also have it in the 'skin' colour. Who knows, if I start running it might fit again...

I'm rather surprised to find out how much it CAN stretch, but I'd actually advise to disregard the stretch; as the band is actually quite small and it doesn't stretch out at all during wear; one of the few bras that seems to retain it's elasticity. Due to the silicone-like bits that are supposed to keep the strapless bra from going places, it stays put just fine.

I haven't actually worn it as a strapless as far as I can remember, but I did cross over the straps, and even made a halter.

I was really curious to try Miss Mandalay. I've read a lot of different reviews about it.

My first impression: this thing is stiff! And tight! And it looks pretty.

And it fits. Easily. If you're a small 28 that is; anyone with an underbust larger than 26in should size up to a 30. Yes, the +3 or 4 rule applies to this brand I think. The cups are forgiving in terms of breast shapes: the tops of the cups are fairly supple and loose.

I am just not really fond of this bra yet. The band stretches just as far as my Cleo Zia, but it somehow is a lot tighter. Stiffer, really. It doesn't really feel sexy either, despite being sheer. I'd like the shape to be a bit more balconette. I really feel like I have to 'break it in'.

Also quite interesting: the wire is super-bendy; despite appearing narrow. It widens and springs back.
And I love the narrow gore.

I love this bikini. I have a similar one, from years ago, but with the halter in the centre. This one stays put when swimming, fits like a dream and looks gorgeous and stylish. Also kept its form after its first holiday!!
