Bra fitting help » Should I go size up on the band?


Cleo » Lucy Balconnet Bra (5851) » 36G 36:9

Issue resolved

Going up the band size

Original problem

I just got my first Cleo Lucy in 36G which is my usual size (or 38FF) and it's beautiful!

I read many reviews before ordering it online and most bloggers said it runs true to size...
I tried it on and it was obvious from the start that the band is too small, I couldn't even close it. But the cup seems great.

I have an extender (3-hook one, though) and with it, I can wear it.

I really like the shape and design (and the price tag) of Cleo bras and would love to order more.

What do you think, should I order a one or even two band sizes up? Or just stick to extenders?
