Nice enough, it just totally doesn't work for me. I have a shallow shape and breast tissue that extends very far up on the top so I do well in a more open cup, and this style is too closed on the top for me.

I found this bra on eBay for about $20, hoping that Cleo would be a improvement since Freya doesn't seem to quite work with my shape. I was right! It is perfect for my shape and I prefer the roundness that Cleo gives. The only issue that I have is that the cups sag slightly when I slouch but the fit in the rest of the cup is spot-on. From other reviews, it might be because the embroidery isnt as elastic as other Cleo bras with the same cut. Because of this, I might try to add a touch of elastic to keep the top of the cup in place. Otherwise, I think I will stick to Cleo!
As far as looks go, it's pretty but not my cup of tea. I like the shade of pink is pretty on my skin and the embroidered flowers look better in person than they do in pictures, it's just not my style.Updated on Apr 04, 2013 Flag this

When I first got this as a part of a grab bag, I dismissed it as too large and stuck it in a drawer. I've since realized I've been underestimating my cup size. This bra puckers a bit on the top on my smaller side, but I think that's partially due to construction rather than shaping - the seaming looks to slightly gather the lace, and it shouldn't. The gore is much too wide wide for my close-set bust.
But that said, this is a fairly comfortable bra.Updated on Mar 19, 2013 Flag this

I love this bra.
This bra was not originally ordered for myself, but for my girlfriend, but it didn't fit so I tried it on. After wearing this bra I finally know what a firm band feels like, and how to smooth back fat under the band. However, the wires on this bra are very wide.
Pros:
Bright
Fun
Comfortable
Great fit
Cons:
Lines show under clothes
Wide wiresThis bra is not owned any more

I really liked this bra when I first got it, but I think my breast tissue migrated and it didn't fit well after just one wearing. The color is a nice bright pink and all the embroidery will definitely show under most clothes.
I loved the lift and shape this bra gave me, but the band only having 2 hooks instead of 3 made it feel less secure.

This bra was at least a full cup size too small for me. I wear a 38GG in almost all brands (including several other styles of Cleo) but this one was much too small in the cups. I gave it to someone who wears a 38G and she says it fit her well, so I'd recommend ordering up a cup size.

Overall this bra is very pretty. I have the pink colour and the lace is very nice with lots of little details. This bra seems to fit okay, but not perfect. It is not padded, and creates a kind of pointy shape because of this. It also seems to fit me a bit weird in certain places. It feels a bit tight and pushes me upwards in the cups, but at the same time is almost too loose in other places, creating wrinkles in the lace. I think I may have too much upper pole fullness for this style.

This bra looks wonderful and fits wonderfully, the embroidery is quite detailed and looks much more sophisticated than the pictures suggest. There is one big disadvantage, and that is the 'bubble' on the top (the non-lined part bubbles up) that seems to have to do with the bra was made than with breast shape, because my breasts are quite full on top, and if I were even fuller on top the lined, pink part of the cup would cut into the tissue making a quadraboob.
I'm going to return this bra with regret.Updated on Apr 13, 2012 Flag this

This bra fits me quite well, despite the fact that I have a 26 underbust and ordered the bra in a 28. The band is much tighter than my Freya bra (a good thing). The bra is very smooth against my skin and should look well under clothing, but couldn't be worn with sheer clothing. I don't feel my breasts are too far apart, though I do slightly more prefer the depth of the cup of the Freya (Erin).
