Not a bad fit, though the hard Cleo wires hurt after a while, especially at the gore. Got this for a steal on eBay, so it feels worth the purchase.

This was my second attempt at this bra, and I so wanted it to fit, but it's still not right. Short roots, projected, narrow - you'd think this would be perfect, considering all the positive reviews. Something's still off, though, and I think it might be the gore; it hurts after just a few minutes of trying it on, and I think it's too high and wide for me, so it's sitting on tissue. The lace section doesn't fill properly, but in an odd way, like it's bubbling out and would look like quadding if it was actually filled anyway. Not sure what the problem is, but it may just be shape incompatibility, and I think I need a tad more immediate projection, as well. Shame, because it's such a pretty bra, and I really wanted the black and purple to work for me.

I really hoped this bra would work for me, and it does look good on, but the super low gore hits me at just the right place to dig in like crazy. Just trying it on for a few minutes had me wanting to rip it back off. The band seems TTS, perhaps even a bit firm, so I think I need to size up to a 32 for CK anyway. Will pass this one along.

I really love the appearance of this bra, but it's definitely too small. The band fits without the cups in the way, so it's just too small/shallow. I was hoping to get away with it, and it's actually pretty comfortable for a short time, but after a while the cups start to get pushed down and it makes the band feel too tight. Would love to get this bra in a size that fits me, but I'm not really sure what that would be.

Such a pretty bra, but a tad too shallow and small for me these days. The gore doesn't quite tack, mostly b/c of how soft they are I think, so things shift around after a few hours of wear. I have to scoop often to get things settled again. I keep hanging onto it because it's so hard to find bras with that gorgeous dark green and I don't want to give it up, so I mostly just wear it for short occasions now.

I have this bra in both 32DD and 32DDD, and the DDD is a good fit but I do get some gaping at the top, especially when slouching or bending over. After a few wears I'm noticing more wrinkling in the bottom of the cup, and the wires riding down with wear. There's not a smooth curve on the bottom anymore, which makes me think I'm not as shallow as I had originally thought I might be. Not sure why it would be more prominent in the larger cup, but I'm still learning this stuff.

Can't quite decide on the fit for this one. I love the low gore and how nicely padded the wires are. I could do without some of the lacy stuff on the straps and band, but wow, this is SUCH a beautiful bra. Deep, deep purple with coppery gold and cream embroidery. The band does seem very stretchy, so I could have sized down and been okay. Still working out my shape, but I think the wires are too wide for me, and the cups too shallow. It slides down a bit out of my IMF during the day. Still, it gives a good shape with a little cleavage, so I may keep it for evening wear. It's too pretty for me to want to part with it.

Gorgeous bra, but the fit is slightly off for me and I think it's due to not enough immediate projection. I'm getting a pointier shape than I'd like, too, so this one will be listed. Bummer, because the deep red color is exactly what I'd wanted.

I took a chance on this one and am absolutely gutted that it doesn't fit. It does indeed run large in the cups, with a deeper apex than I'm used to seeing on plunges, and the gapping at the lace is just too much for me to want to keep it. It wrinkles where it connects to the padded cup and is definitely visible under shirts when it gaps. The cups are also a bit too tall for my shape, and the wires a tad too wide. Seems to be more like a UK 32F, perhaps more suited to a FOT shape. Projection is still good, though.

This was a pleasant surprise, bought here because the wires are just so, so narrow and wonderful. They fit great, and the narrowness helps the tall wing height work for me without poking. The gore is a tad high for my liking, so it stabs me a bit after hours of wear, but mostly it's pretty comfy. The band is nice and firm, and the projection is decent. I like the color, though not the hot pink accents, makes it look very much like a "teen" bra.
