Beautiful, purple Marcie.
The depth is pretty decent, but with most 28DD bras, they only seem to fit one day of the month. And wearing an extender only makes the cups seem more narrow on me.

This bra was too tight! I ordered this bra in 28DD and since the band only stretches out to 27" I couldn't even put it on!

A pretty, unlined lace bra, which is supposed to suit full-on-top shapes. I'm not 100% sure about this shade of yellow with my skin-tone - I do think it looks lovely and summery when standing in the sun (see one of my photos) but I can't guarantee I'll always be in a position to stand in the sun or even that it will be sunny, so this may not be useful. Marcie colourways range from gorgeous (the rich red/burgundy version) to being rather an acquired taste, and for me this one falls into the latter category.

Fit-wise the cups on the 28DD are too small for me and I'm ... quadboobing out of them. The gore tacks at the top but not the bottom - obviously a cup-size issue, as it tacks fully in the 28E - and the cups are a little too wide for me, but wearable. The band is quite tight, although the cups being too small no doubt makes it feel tighter than it otherwise would. The gore is high and poky, a typical Cleo feature from what I understand.

I ended up returning this bra and getting the 28E instead, and while the depth and volume of the cups were much better, the wires were far too wide. Ideally I would need the volume of a 28E combined with the wires of the 28DD. This is a little frustrating because I really do like unlined Cleos rather a lot - they're a ton better on me than unlined Freyas and actually give me a decent shape, something I didn't think was possible in an unlined bra. I'm going to continue to persist with them, painful wires notwithstanding, as I don't know of a better unlined alternative right now (though I find the Lily a slightly better fit than the Marcie due to the wires being a bit narrower).

I bought this along with the Cleos Lily and Marcie in a first attempt at figuring out my shape. The Lucy is quite a nice-looking bra, a balconette style like the Lily and Marcie, but it seems to be a bit wider and shallower than the other two bras. It's also known as a bra more suited to full-on-bottom shapes.

On me, however, this bra was so wrong it's a little hard for me to review it properly! It slid down my chest as soon as I put it on, as if my boobs were repelling it. After I hoiked it up into the right place in my inframammary ... fold, I found I got a very bizarre triple boob effect from the seams. It was obviously a cup size too small so that might be part of the problem - yet the Marcie in this size was also too small yet didn't have quite such a violent reaction to my boobs! On the plus side, the gore is shorter and less annoying than the higher gores of the Marcie and Lily.

Although this is one of the weirdest bras I've ever tried on, at some point I'd still like to try it in a cup size larger just so I can be sure it's the style of the bra that's wrong and not just the size. Certainly a nice everyday bra if it suits your shape.

Not good for FOB. I couldn't fill the top but my boobs were bursting out of the bottom. It may work for a shallower FOB or FOT.

The band seemed loose but other than that a good bra. Since I'm FOB and the band is loose, the bra was pushed down throughout the day. However I did not have the quad boobing others seemed to have. So maybe this bra would work for a 30D FOB person?

Lana is one of my favorites. The fabric is so soft and stretchy. I like the pink design on the fabric. It reminds me of an exotic pink ocean. I'm not really that into pink but I really like this because it's different/original design.

I really like this bra, especially the purple color! It's too small in the cup for me though, but not by too much. I would seriously love this in a 28E

This bra is so adorable, but the wires were a smidgen too short unfortunately. I loved the shape of this bra though. Very round and full.

I just got this bra in aquamarine. The band is tight. I can get it on, but I will definitely be wearing it with an extender for a little while. I've heard that the band gets pretty stretchy, so I don't think that I would want to size up. The wires at the gore start digging into my chest toward the end of the day. I'll have to try bending them out a little, but that should be a fairly easy fix.

I really like this bra. I love the color and the look of it - it's very cute and youthful. I also like the round shape ... it gives me. I never thought I would be able to wear an unlined bra because of my conical breasts, but this one works for me! It makes me feel good about my boobs - exactly what a bra should do. I would consider getting another one in a different color.

EDIT: Boobs have grown. The lace has enough give to accommodate this, but the rest of the cup does not. So now I'm getting quadboob where the lace meets the cup.

I have a wide root and shallow boobs. I do need flat cups but not extraordinary wide wires. I almost don't have any volume on top. I usually wear this bra when my boobs are smaller during the first weeks after my mestruation.

The fabric is really soft and comfortable as the cups inside is lined with cotton. The band runs normal while the cups seem to be a little smaller then usual 28DD ones.

I didn't like the lace and the high gore so I changed to wires removed the lace and shorened the gore.

The black one fits me while the pink one's cup is gapping on top

Would suit somebody with more upper fullness than myself. Very pretty and whimsical pattern without being too over the top. Like other unlined Cleos, the band is tight.

The best bra I've found so far for my shallow and somewhat FOT boobs. It does run pretty small for a 28 and especially after I took in the gore a bit. It's slightly wide for me in the gore so I needed to take 1/2 inch or so out. However, after wearing it all day, it does seem to pinch in the wires a smidge, so it might not be perfect. Damn close though!

If molded cups just aren't workin' out for you and you want something more structured than an unpadded balconnet, Juna might be for you.
I read this bra is great for shallow breasts. I am full on top with average projection and it works for me as well: the open-on-top construction that makes it good for shallow gals also keeps it from cutting in on me!
The 28DD doesn't quite get all my tissue on the sides, but one cup size up in a sister cut (28E Darcy) fits me quite nicely.

Causes no lines under t-shirts, but feels a bit too tight sometimes. It is comfortable, other than the slight tightness.

I have worn this bra three times now. It is actually a size too small, but the cut accommodates my even breasts to actually fit relatively well considering the size difference (though as I wear it more, it seems to feel artificially tight since the cups do not quite fit). Band seems to be pretty firm. The bra gives a nice and rounded shape (and the pattern is super cute! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />). The feeling of the gore digging into my sternum has gone away completely by the third wear.

This definitely does not fit my boobs. The wires are (I think) a smidge too narrow and the gore too wide. The straps are almost off my body completely! The top wrinkles/gapes like mad as well-it has a very round shape, which doesn't work with my tall roots.

This is definitely a great bra, it's known to be a little small in the cups. I own two of it's sister cuts in the next cup size up and they all fit me fairly well. For this bra the only issue I have is a slight shape mismatch and it being a little to small. Still workable for some days in the month and definitely gives me more lift and va-voom than the 28E and 30DD that I own! I will probably sell this bra after I get a few more styles of bras in my collection, but for now this is great of an occasional wear!
