I like this bra like I like Wacoal's b.tempt'd b.wow'd bra - a nice, easy to wear push up like I used to get from Victoria's Secret or some department store. Its so soft and casual, with a comfy cotton feel I don't find in many bras anymore. And it does give me a nice shape and lift despite being illfitting. I'd keep it if only the band were tighter. The cups are also wider and tall, and it has some push up padding making it fight my shape.

Super soft wireless bra. Lined but no heavy padding like many soft cup bras have. The gore area and part of the wings is also lined with soft foam, a neat choice!

This is a cup size up from what I usually wear so it is too big. The cups are wide, but comparable to the Deco Soft Cup in the same size. Common with wirefree bras. It seems more shallow and closed on top than other wireless bras I have tried. While I don't fill out the cups, the top of the cup still cuts in making it both too big and too small.

The best fit I've had from one of these yet - could do with a 28 band, but the band isn't as big as others I've tried. Probably fits 30-31" NWT. It seems more supportive and somehow better fitting than the navy/lime green one I tried, not sure exactly what is different though.

The bow is oversized and it's adorable. The cups are tall but fit better than most full coverage bras I've tried. The plunge is low. The mauve is pretty. I think I want to hold out for the colorway I've been lusting after most though - beige with hot pink trim.

This older Cleo model is beautifully detailed with gorgeous stitches on the fabric - but my first impression is that all this beautiful texture would never disappear under a shirt! It's much more textured than any of my other unlined bras. Unfortunately the fit is such a mess that I never got to evaluating how it will look under clothing.

This bra is slightly small for me, combined with a bit of a shape mismatch. Add my soft tissue to that and it turns into a disaster where each diagonal stitch is cutting into my tissue creating tiny bits of in-cup quad all over. The top seam barely cuts in, making the main problem all the tiny stitched details.

I would compare this bra possibly to Cleo Nyla, shape-wise. I think it is made for slightly more even shape and projection than bras like Marcie.

This probably isn't the strappy bra to end my strappy bra search, but I'm pretty happy with it. I was actually quite happy wearing it yesterday, but looking at some of the pictures I took in it, there are certainly fit problems. This was mostly with slight gaping in the cups as I moved around, which I can deal with.

Bad:

The gore doesn't tack at the top. I hardly ever have this problem anymore, even in 32D or 32DD bras that aren't quite my ideal size. I wonder if it's partially the fault of the cutout gore? I've never had a bra with a gore like this.

The ... shoulder straps are so long and stretchy, but fully adjustable at least. I adjusted them to almost the shortest length to get a good fit ... but I'm 5'6 so this bra might not work for more petite or high set ladies.

The seam in the middle of the cup gives me a pointy shape and may show under clothes. Not my favorite cup shape.

The cage straps fit me well, unlike in previous bras I've tried, but they rub my armpit fat area in an irritating way when I'm sitting or moving because they're so tall.

I don't fill out the bottoms of the cups and the bra tends to slip down and not sit in my IMF, though I can make it for awhile.

The included bottoms run huge. The size chart pointed me toward a large, but I got a M. The M is a bit big - I could have done with a size S

Good:

It's pretty

And cheap.

Band fits tight/true to size

And now the question remains if I keep it and deal with these things, or move on to the next one.

Is this bra 80F EU or 80F France? I was led to believe it was 80F FR size when I bought it, but now I am questioning that due to the band measurements.

I entered it as 80F FR so that is what Bratabase is showing now - but it may be a mistake.

This one runs big in my opinion. Wacoal sizing is all over the place in my experience. I have a few in 32D, and sometimes 30DDD or 32DD or 32DDD work too. Other times they don't fit at all.

The cups on this one are pretty deep at the top and center. For me this meant lots of empty space at the top of the cup.

I'd consider this bra about on par with the 30DD B.Tempt'd B.Wow'd push up bra: Looser band, a bit of quad-boob on me. Cute, comfy t-shirt bras. They both remind of something I would've gotten at VS or a department store when I wore 34Cs. This bra however looks way cuter and more grown up, feels much softer, and is overall better quality and more luxurious than the B.Tempt'd (though the retail price is ridiculous!)

The cups are seriously so soft though. It puts the thick, stiff foam of my Deco to shame. I could imagine myself wearing this and just having the desire to keep feeling the soft fabric and then realizing I'm stroking my boobs in front of my roommates.

The band is looser and the straps aren't fully adjustable though .. The straps work if I wear it as a racerback .. Not sure if I'll keep it yet.

I can't wait to try this out as a strapless bra! (I'll update then) The band is so tight. I've never had a strapless bra that fit before. However I think I will still wear it daily with straps. The straps that it came with almost don't adjust tight enough, so that might be a problem for some people.. The cups are wonderfully thin but still moulded. That's what I love about SP. My nipples poke through the tiniest bit, which I don't mind. It feels so natural. Compared to my other bras, I feel like this one gives me a noticeably bigger and more rounded shape! Not a huge fan of the 'Blush' color. It appeared darker on Ebay, but once I received it I almost thought it was a dingy used white bra.

Close to fitting, but just a few too many wrinkles at the top of the cup for me.

I'd say this compares to the Fantasie Smoothing Bras but has slightly shorter cups and lower gore - a good thing for me! Not as much fabric to wrinkle. The band isn't very stretchy and runs tight - I prefer it most with at least one row of an extender. Wearing it tight makes the wires become quite painful.
