OK fit, band is comfortable, but I think I would size down if I was to buy this bra again. Scratchy at first, but after a couple washes that cleared up. Gaping at the top when slouching, but not a bad fit, all in all.

I was super excited for this bra.
I figured since I had a Le Mystere 32E, this might work.
Granted, that bra hardly works for me.
The cup depth is good, but I have to wear the bra on the last hook to stay scooped and supported. Should expect that for a 32 I suppose, especially when I'm measuring 29".

I'd really like to try this bra in 30E, 28F, or the sister sizes (30F,28FF) of this bra.
This fits VERY nicely and looks great, but I'm concerned that won't last long.
I initially tried this on and couldn't stay scooped, and the cups were thusly too large.

I'm unsure if the band on ... this is stretched from previous wear, or if this model normally just has a larger band.
If so, I'd like to look at 28F/FF.

Anyway, this gives a really nice, rounded shape. Great for an unlined bra. I also love the design. And color. I dated someone who hated all things black (my wardrobe was all black) so I regrettably threw away all my black bras and everything else.
Granted, they were 34B so I couldn't/wouldn't wear them now anyway. But I miss them regardless, and am super happy to have a nice, black bra again.

I still need the 30E/F or smaller band wise, seeing as I need to use the last row of hooks, but this will do well for now https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

As far as I can tell, this should do well for narrow to average roots, some projection, and even shapes.
I'm not sure for purely FoB or FoT people. I can see FoB having trouble with the fixed mesh shape, up top. I'm very shallow on top though, and fit into a cup size larger than my usual.
Purely FoT may have trouble, again, with the fixed mesh shape.
This bra is unlike any other I've tried, so I have a hard time giving any more advice as I'm just learning.
My own shape should be FoT to even, but I'm really shallow only up top, projected in the middle, and fit better into bras that suit bottom fullness. Learning this has made making reviews super confusing for me to add any recommendations, so I apologize in advance.

I also am unsure about the wires. For me, and for a 32E, these wires are narrower than many other 30F/32E's I've tried on, but they're very...straight? Kind of like a wide cereal bowl, as opposed to a Japanese tea cup, "U" shape.
So, these wires are probably for average roots, and they may work for wide, but this bra somehow works for me even though I need narrower wires. I guess because they don't come up towards my armpits like most other wide wired bras- that may be why it works.

The center gore is also not very wide. This would probably be good for boobs that need closer set wires. They don't touch, but they JUST don't touch. There's like a centimeter or two in between the wires where they don't touch.

Otherwise, that's about all I have to say about this bra in this size.

At the time I ordered this bra off another bratabase user, I was a bit in between sizes, with some minor gapping along the top edge of the cup in my 32F Lucy. But with regular fluctuations in weight and hormones, the 32E ends up being a bit too small more often than not, with some unsavory quad-boob effect, particularly on my left side. That said, the bra itself is lovely as usual - I love the floral lace along the top edge of the cup, the shape in general, and the nice snug band. Overall, I would highly recommend this bra to anyone looking for a nice round shape in an unlined bra, with the caveat that the size has to be spot-on, since the fabric has zero stretch. (I almost wish that the top lace HAD stretch, which would reduce both gapping and quad-boob for those with different size boobs/fluctuations in size.)

Makes me sad, that I dont want to wear my other bras any more - the time that little parcel with my Cleo Lucy Neon arrived at home.
This ist my absolute favourite bra for it is super comfortable and supercute - I just love the design!
I did not know, wheter to order the "34DD" or the "32E" - now I am happy with the 32 band. It is quite stretchy, so the bra gets a litte bra-extender and - voilá- everything fits: My regular band is a "34", but the E-cups fit even more comfortable than my regular D- oder DD-cups.
The only thing I don't like: There is no extra side-support, so the mesh-material is kind of a little bit crinkly at the sides.
The cleo feels very comfy to wear - as if there was no bra at all.
So - A+ from me.

The purple colorway is very pretty, and overall this bra was a good tester to determine shape as it is known for being FOB friendly. With that said I do not really care for the closed off lace on top as it slightly cuts into the top of the breast tissue ever though I lean more towards FOB, and does not really lift. However in classic cleo fashion it does provide a lifted shape.

Gives a pointy illusion I don't like. The underwires are so uncomfortable.

Moderately comfortable pretty bra. Doesn't fit my shallow shape. Not sure if sizing up the band and down the cup x2 would help. Straps sit too wide for me and cup has gaping at the top.

Wow! I gotta say, this is the most comfortable and cutest bra I own. The fit is good, the construction of the bra is great (my boobs are definitely front and center), I have absolutely no complaints. Well, one minor issue; occasionallyi get the tiniest bit of quadboob on my larger side, but I think that's more of a soft breast tissue moving around issue than any real problem with the fit.

How cute is this bra?? I'm going to wax poetic about how much I love this bra in a few minutes, but first I want to go over the fit. First of all, this is what a properly tacking gore ...

This review is for the white Lucy. Fit is exactly the same on me as the yellow, with the exception of the band. The band on the white feels just a smidgen tighter, which is good.

Both of the Lucys I have are easily my most comfortable bras.

I found this bra to be really uncomfortable. When I bought it, I was definitely a 32E, but the underwires poked horribly after a few hours. I only wore it twice, but the second time, the gore left blisters on my sternum. I learned an important lesson that day about wearing new bras to work on days I might have to work long hours...never do it https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />
