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.

This bra is similar to my 32D - Wacoal » Body By Wacoal Seamless Underwire (65115) which has become a staple in my summer wardrobe.

It's lovely stretch lace all over. The material is stretchy and fairly forgiving, but a bit more firm and supportive than the Body. I think it gives me a rounder shape and is a bit more flattering. However, it seems more closed-on-top and cuts in a bit more as well. A 32DD may work better for me in this bra. Still super comfy, supportive and secure, wear-all-day effortless feeling. The closest I've come to feeling like I'm wearing nothing. It has a tighter band that works decently for me being between 30 and 32. The gore is a bit wide.

This summer has been filled with mornings of agonizing over my bright Cleo bras showing through my favorite light t-shirts and worse afternoons walking 1.5 miles home in a sweaty moulded cup bra. I tried a few beige unlined bras, but the fit was never right.

So after grabbing this bra in purple on impulse at a sale, I decided to grab one more in beige to solve my problem.

This bra, as I said before, isn't the prettiest. But it serves its purpose. It disappears under shirts (except occasional nipple showing, fine by me). The cups are very stretchy and forgiving, allowing for more cup volume than other ... 32D bras I've tried. The band fits a bit tighter, though I believe the beige color runs a bit larger. The straps on it do not adjust short enough for me, but otherwise I love it. The lift you get isn't wonderful, but it's so comfy.

As a side note, the matching high waisted brief is so comfy... but terrible quality. I wore them once and the fabric was pilling all over. Not even worth $2.99 on sale. This could indicate that the bra might not hold up too well either - I'll update the reviews if they end up pilling too.

Beige colorway

It's... not horrible. Which is good enough for me! I love the colors - hot pink and beige - and I've been lusting after a Dessous like this for awhile. I know it's not a perfect fit, but i like it. I also love that they made this in 3 colors that could be a "nude."

I tried this in 28F first, but found the band ran tighter than in some other colors! 30E fits much better - the band slightly smaller than true to size. It's great on my 29-30" underbust!

I don't think this color is horribly shallow, and the wires don't measure that wide ... however, the ... wires are flexible and stretch with the band, leading to a bra that is too shallow and wide on some. I can wear an extender with this to get slightly narrower wires, but as it is the slight wideness doesn't bother me and the wire stays in my IMF.

There is a bit more wrinkling than on me than I would deal with in most bras, but I'm just too in love with the colors. I wore it today under a thicker band T and it worked great. I wore it under a white tank top and flaunted the pink straps and seams, and it was cute.

Another success with a "Complete Assurance" recommendation from Bratabase. Cool! I'd usually never try a 30F..

So, based on the complete failure 30Fs I've tried before, I'd say this runs small in the cup. The band fits tighter - nice and firm.

The design isn't my cup of tea - the frills on the panties are so dainty! But you know I love my matching sets .. The pink + the ruffles is super feminine, wouldn't be my first color choice .. but it was a great price!

I'd say I still prefer my Cleo Lucy in 30E - the wires seem narrower, the shape and lift seems slightly more pleasing, and the design is less frilly.

This bralette is super cute, but I bought it on impulse at a size that was a bit too small. I am around a 30E - the band on this XS fits well, but I have to recommend someone with a smaller cup volume pick up the XS. I would be better off with a size S. However, it is wearable with the slight quadding I was getting, but I picked up one in a better size at the semi-annual sale https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

The pads it comes with are super cheap and look weird on. A few other users echoed this sentiment recently.. It's best to take them out, and I prefer unlined anyway! This is why I ranked quality as "Okay." The comfort is also ranked "Okay" because the straps dig in and leave red marks since they're so thin - I'm not sure this would be helped by a larger size.

I gave up on the Fortnight Luna bra after many failed trials - the cups cut in, sizing up just made them wider and taller, I even tried a few different colors.

I wasn't sure I would have any luck with Mira since many reviews say they're similar, but I like this one! It's stretchy cup fabric seems to suit my shape better than the mesh on the Luna. Perhaps it has a tad more give. The cutting in on top is reduced for me as well. It's a bit wide on me, but overall I love it!

After finding newer Cleos having looser bands, I thought Bella might be the same. I'd say this bra doesn't run big in the band! I'm more of a 30E with a comfortable underbust measure of 28-30". I could hardly fasten this bra alone - I wore an extender with it. Unfortunately the cups were wide on me, despite always using the extender and trying to bend them thinner once. I could bend them to around 5", but they returned to their original width of around 5.5" with wear. The wideness was a problem, and I couldn't get the top portion of the cup to be as wrinkle free as my Lily or Marcie.

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.

I once heard this spacer bra had a tighter band than other SP models, but it came to me more used than expected and so the band is pretty big https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> should have asked for more pictures and measurements.

The cup shape is nice. The wires stay narrow and the cups aren't too tall. The straps are only half adjustable.
