This was my first well-fitting bra when I had more weight on me. It is soft and cozy with a bit of stretch. The cups were my first unlined cups. They are seamless. The straps are still firm, and if you are on the larger end of the 32DDD size range, it would still be supportive enough for you to wear around the house.

I am a huge fan of Claudette Dessous. This color in particular is so fun and pretty. Not to mention that it disappears under clothes-- even white t-shirts!!! A Claudette 30G fits pretty comparably to a Cleo 32F. I unfortunately can't wear this sexy little stunner anymore, because it's too big, but it was one of my favorites for a few months when it fit. I've moved on to 30F Dessous now, but if they still sold this one in smaller bands, I'd be snapping it up in a smaller size.

I am a huge fan of Dessous in general but the band on this one is much shorter than expected for a 28; it only stretches to 25.75 inches! Great if your ribcage is only 25"; mine is unfortunately 28". I can't speak to the fit, other than that the cups are wider than the 30FF cups I had in earlier seasons. Anyway, a great option if you normally wear 28FF or G, but find the bands ride up. Beautiful color scheme. Wish it fit.

This is my favorite! I now have it in two colors! Round shape, minimal gapping, and only on the smaller side. Great support! The band fits true to size for Cleos and the fabric is sturdy. It's smooth enough to wear under things, although the colors are pretty loud. I have the Aqua and pink color way and the parrot print. Now I want the magenta and the swans! For the record, I did not think that my breasts were the right shape for this sort of bra at all, as I thought of myself as sort of wide and shallow and needing a low gore when I first started this journey. That's because I can pull off bras like the Deco and the Darcy, but this is my new fave, so maybe I was wrong about my shape.

The Marvel is my current favorite everyday bra. I have two in this White and Aqua colorway, one in nude, and one in the black-purple. The bra looks fairly seamless under clothes, and the circle pattern is really cute without being juvenile. The wires are wider than I need in the 30F, but I'm currently having a bit of cutting in at the top in the 30E. I wear both depending on the time of month. I would say this fits similar to the Freya padded 3-part cups, but not as open at the top. Also, it's unlined.

Garnet color: This bra is stretchier in the cup mesh fabric than the black. The band is too big and I would need to size down. Softer and more luxurious than the Dessous, but a slightly more natural shape.

Gorgeous and comfortable bra with narrow enough wires and shallow enough cups. Amazing fit. I would say the fit most closely resembles that of the Curvy Kate Princess, but it is also sized the same as the Gia and the Dreamcatcher. The Gia and the Dreamcatcher have somewhat more projected cups than the Portia, however. The Portia would work well on full-on-top or wide-shouldered women. It also works well on me, since I have quite a bit of pectoral muscle. It gives a nice shape under tops, though the ribbon sometimes shows. I also would say that the wire is low under the arms, which is nice for me-- no poking. The only drawback is, like the Dreamcatcher, the fabric is a bit stiff and scratchy at first.

I felt so happy to find a 32H in an actual store, and a discount store no less (Marshalls). Plus, it is an unlined, white/nude lace bra (Score!) which is great for work wear. It's a shallower bra, like all the Natoris I've tried, but the stretch lace cups allow me to project sufficiently. This bra has a utilitarian 3-hook band and a nipple hiding slanted horizontal seam. It would be a great bra for anyone with a particularly short or tall root because of its Demi-style cup height, coupled with the stretchy cup. It would also be good for ladies with flatter-bottomed roots because it's a shallow U shape. I usually take a 32DDD or 32G in American sizing, so this runs an entire cup small; size up accordingly. It's also somewhat minimizing in how it fits me, which is good for work. The seam shows under tshirts.

This is one of my favorite bras, and I have had it in two sizes because it's so pretty. However, the lace at the top is very loose and hard to fill. The band runs tight compared to other Cleos I've had. I also think the shape can be a little strange-- very narrow and projected looking under tops.

This would be a better fit for a 34E. I tried it on and removed the tag, but then I swooped and scooped and oops! It's too small in the cups for me! Very pretty pink Cheetah print and stretchy mesh top. Three hook band, too.
