First bra I tried on that fit well. Good projection, very cute colors/details/fabric, smooth under tshirts and gives a nice shape. There is a little empty space on the top and middle-inside, but I've read that the Meg is a little bit difficult to fit so I'm not too concerned about it.

When I first started wearing the bra, the cute little red thread on the bottom of the band irritated my skin horrendously but I don't notice it now that it's broken in. The same thread design in blue on the straps makes it extremely difficult to adjust the length while wearing the bra. I bought my first one gently used and I've moved to the second set of hooks after 6 months.

Oh god, So So SO beautiful!!. Without much information out there about the brand I took a gamble on a 70K and lost =/

Pros: Amazingly gorgeous. Sexy but in an elegant way. Extra padding underneath the straps. Mesh isn't itchy! Comfortable band. Seems to have the narrower wires and depth typical of Polish brands.

Cons: Just overall too big for me. I prefer a very snug band so this wouldn't quite work for me anyway. I also need a lower wing height for my stubby torso.

I plan on selling this so it can have a home where it will be worn. Too pretty to sit in my closet.

This is from my shopping trip to Poland! Feel free to send me a message if you want any more info on that. For reference, I believe that I had short, narrow roots with a very projected, omega shape. My best Cleo fit is the Meg then Marcie/Melissa.

This soft Kris Line would make a good every day bra I think. The wires seem a bit wide on the sides, but thankfully not too high under the armpit. The band is on the comfortable side of firm. Love the materials used, seems very well made and durable. The projection is pretty decent but the amount of lift leaves something ... to be desired. Because of the half-embroidered straps, I can't fully adjust them and I think that would help heave everything up more. The shape is more on the natural/tear-drop side and honestly maybe even a bit minimizing, but it may just be because of the lack of lifting going on. A bit separated/ east-west-ish.

There is a strip of elastic under the top embroidery that might not be friendly to people with tall roots/upper fullness, it is even almost too closed on top for me on my right side. A good tack on the gore, which seems fairly short.

I believe that I have soft, narrow-rooted, even-fullness, very projected breasts.

Pros:
For needing a utilitarian nude bra, this one isn't ugly. It is a peachy-nude color, floral lace overlay (which I like) and a dangley crystal hung from a bow on the gore. Wings are mesh fabric, and there is a little lace trim across the top of the cups. I'm not sure of the exact terminology, but it is lightly lined/padded.

I got it as leftover stock from a representative who was leaving the company. It was quite cheap, which is always a plus.

The wires feel like they're metal and extremely sturdy. I don't think they would snap.


Cons:

Overall ... the bra seems to be very poor quality. Even with the delicate handwashing and care that I give to all my bras, the fabric on this one has started to pill dreadfully already. I've had my Panache bras for almost a year and they are nowhere near looking as worn. The fabric got discolored easily and the band stretched very quickly, seemingly within a week. Some of the eyes on the back are very loose and are starting to pull out of their stitching.

The lace overlay can be seen through thin and silky tops, but I'm sure it could be snipped off easily if it was a problem.

The cups are pretty shallow (at least to me) and don't have a lot of immediate projection.

The lack of projection makes the thick underwires press in very much to my chest. Can pinch a bit and be uncomfortable.

This would be a good option for someone who needed a nude bra in a pinch, but I wouldn't spend more than $10-15 on this bra. I have no idea what the full price is, but I'm sure it isn't worth it.

Cute bra, very comfortable and a good snug band- just what I like.

Sadly, I've figured out that I need to go up another cup size so this bra does cause some quadboobing on me. It seems narrower than others I've tried from Cleo (like the Lily), but it still isn't narrow enough for me. It would be a fun everyday option.

I bought this bra already quite used, so I know that effects the measurements and my fit experience. I don't think this bra would work for me even if it was new. It's a classic shape mismatch for me (narrow, short root, center-ish full).

I would say that this runs wide-ish and shallow like many molded bras, so the gore floats a lot and my breasts are squished together a little in the middle. The top is a bit too closed and cuts in - slight quadboob. The parts of my breasts that are in the cup are pressed outwards so there is an east-west effect.

I normally ... wear a 32GG so I knew the band would be too big. The overall feel of the material is soft and I could see this possibly helping convert people from the famously soft VS bras.

I wore this for an entire day and found it minimally annoying despite the obvious fit issues. I will keep it but definitely glad I didn't pay full price and will continue my search for a well-fitting smooth beige bra.
