Bra fitting help » I may have found my bra?!
Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) » 34FF 34:8
Issue resolved
Was looking to see if it fit and it did.
Original problem
I feel like this is a pretty good fit for me. The cups seem to fill out nicely and the center gore doesn't seem to poke me like it did with the Marcie. The only thing I am worried about is the straps...not sure if they still appear to be too wide or not. If so, isn't there something you can use to help with that issue?

Personally I wouldn't recommend trying a clip to turn the straps into a racer back - I find the straps end up digging in at weird places as they are pulled out of alignment around the underarms and where they meet the band at the back. Just tighten the strap enough that they cling snuggly to your shoulders and I think you'll be fine.
This is looks like a great fit overall.
See how you go after a long day wearing the Lucy bra - it looks like it might dig in at the base of the underwires around your ribs. Might be worth trying to find a style for your second bra that has a more padded band that fully encloses the underwire shape - something you can comfortably wear for hours and hours and hours.

Do you feel the straps slipping off your shoulders when you've been wearing it? Assuming you've tightened them enough (and not too much, which can also cause slippage), the only other thing I know of is to let them out a lot and use one of those clips that turns them into racer back. I tried that once and didn't like the result but I didn't give it much of a chance. Others seems to have success.
Otherwise it seems to fit you nicely. Be aware, I had the same bra and it was tighter in the band than the Cleo Lucy 32G! Seems different colors are stretchier than others.

I really like Cleo Lucy. Different colors do fit differently.
That bra looks like it fits you and is comfortable. The straps aren't too wide if they were any wider they would be too wide. Fits you beautiful.Updated on December 27, 2013 Flag this
