Fit: I wear a 32 band in Cleo so I knew this would be too big in the band, but I was going to alter it. I tried it on the tightest hooks. Unfortunately, as soon as I put it on, I knew it was completely wrong. I bought it as soon as it became available, so there were no reviews to let me know how shallow it was. I am wayyyy too projected for this bra style. The wires are also a bit too wide for me.
Materials: A strange print (not my taste, but I had Cleo fever). The materials are SO soft, though. If it was narrower/projected, it would have been a dream to wear as even in the wrong size with quadboob, it was comfortable.
I love how pretty this bra is. It fits great, with exception of a couple minor quibbles. The lace at the top of the cup is just a tiny bit loose, but not enough to cause any wrinkling under clothes and certainly not enough to size down. I also wish the band were wider. I get that Cleo is trying to be cute and young, but they need to understand that larger cups need a thicker band.
The band on this is stretchier than I'd prefer, but doesn't ride up yet. When I first exchanged the 32H for this 34H, I thought it was pretty good, with minor armpit pokey-ness from the wires, but I needed a nude bra so I kelt it. After wearing it, the poking has gone away and I've been plagued with straps trying to cut my arms off. I'll get around to moving them closer in eventually. The shape is nice, but I'd like narrower wires. For a nude bra its pretty good if you can nail the fit down.
So I originally bought this bra in a 34G while traveling in the US: the fit wasn't great, but I loved the colour and decided I'll make it work. Alas, after a few wears I realised it was definitely too small and then bought online a 34H, thinking it would fix all my issues. The fit is better, obviously, but the cups are not narrow enough for me in the bigger size and the wires poke in my armpit quite a lot. No matter how pretty it is, Neve and I will never totally get along I'm afraid https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":-(" />
Of all the bras I have that do not fit, this is probably the most comfortable.
It is too big, but it is the same kind of too big all over, if that makes sense. That is, the band is loose, I have a smidge of room in the sides (e.g., I could go to a slightly narrower cup *or* keep this width comfortably), and I have a small but noticeable amount of wrinkling in top and bottom.
I've ordered it in a 32H and am hopeful that it will be a good fit.
Slight puckering at the top of the cup and underneath the straps. Straps are slightly wide. my range of movement is hindered slightly because cups are too wide and slightly poke my arms. Shape of breasts are perfect!
I received this bra from uptight on 5/23/2013. The first thing I noticed about the bra was how soft the cups are. This band has a bit of stretch to it, measuring anywhere from 36" (super break the tape measurement), to 38" (loose measurement.) However, this is wonderful for me. The band is supportive, but not tight or uncomfortable.
The fabric at the top of the cup does not lay flat, but as I've heard, it's not supposed to lay flat.
I also love that this bra does not show through my thin clothing.
I feel very lifted. This bra gives a rounded shape. Underwires are wide, but manage not to irritate my hidradenitis suppurativa, which is always going to be a plus.
If anything I would have liked closer set straps, but they do not irritate my arms.
I don't think this is the right bra for me. Sure, when I first tried it on it seemed to fit in every way it should, but over time it has become a torture device because it stabs me painfully in the armpits.
The bra seemed a bit flimsy to me at first and now it seems even more so. It would be great if just two hooks and a teensy bit of lace could hold me up, but I should never have believed the bra's promises. The wires warped almost immediately although the two hooks on the band have stood up to use better than I expected.
I like the shape and I like the lift and the purple color is okay although not as nice as some of the other colors, but the construction just isn't solid enough for me.
The cups cut into me at the top slightly. The wires pokes me to death at the end of a long day under my arm, probably because of the amount of fat and/or migrated tissue that is free under there, even after scooping and swooping. The band stretches really easily compared to the Andorra I have of the same size. The fit may be better in a larger cup size. All in all it's a step toward finding out what cuts don't work for me
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.
Fits almost exactly the same as the 36GG. Only difference is I have this on the loosest hook! I've done the same modifications (taken in the centre gore and bound the bottom edge of it in jersey), but the cups are essentially the same size and it fits.
Although the bottom of the cups fit me perfect, the top of the cup has way too much extra space. I think the shape is just not right for my breast type. I also don't like how limited the strap length adjustment is.
Definitely too small for me, but I should have known, I just really hoped https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Nice forward projection though! Very rounded and forward, instead of making the breast take up a lot of area on your chest. Looks and feels fantastic as well. Though it is only 2 hooks, still felt wide and supportive.
I bought this bra in a 34H and 32HH. I wrote a review on the 32HH and that is the size I kept. The measurements are near identical between the two with the biggest difference being the band. I filled the cup nicely but the wire on the 34H poked me on the side. The band felt snug but I could do it on the second hook right away. The 32HH does not poke me in the side. I have a squishy 34 underbust measurement (32 pulled tight) so I'm finding 32's to work better for me lately especially when the band can stretch to 34+.
