Cleo Skye runs large (and tall) in the cups and slightly on the larger side of True to Size in the band. They cups aren't as open as Marcie's, but they are taller. There's a lot of immediate projection and the wires are very narrow. The gore is also very narrow, so this makes the wires seem even narrower. Wide and shallow shapes should definitely avoid this one.

My shape: Projected, narrow, shorter roots, even/functionally full on bottom, soft tissue. Cleo Lily fits me best.

I'd say this bra fits pretty true to size. It wants a little more inner/upper fullness than I have, but I don't have loads of empty space in the cups, either.

Because of the softer/less rigid fabrics used on the Skye, it gives me a slightly more natural/less round shape, but really only slightly. I certainly wouldn't call it pointy.

I'll be returning it (don't like the colorway), and I'm not sure I'm going to revisit it. I don't feel as secure as I'd like because of the less rigid materials used.

Ive been wanting this summery bra since I saw it months ago online - but £30 for Cleo bra? naaah . Only EM and Comexim are worth paying that much and even more. Then couple of days ago I was in central london for a meeting and after that Ive decided to visit Bravissimo as I was wondering what stock they carry inside the shop - and im not very impressed actually. Theres few pieces of clothes - divided by colours, few clothes on poor sale (white shirt on sale for over £30 - really? no, thank you - i prefer my M&S for £12). Further we can ... find department with underwear... also divided by colours, looks nice, tidy but the stock isnt good enough as well - i mean its not bad but they could definietly do better!
I started by looking at navy and purple shades.. only bravissimo satine took my attention from that side.. then opposite I have noticed bright bras and that was the moment when I falled in love with Skye. I didnt mind paying the full price for it anymore. It was just staring at me and unfortunately on 32E left on the rack and even no luck with sister sizes to 30E in the store room. I still had to try it on, but this was all over too big! wires too wide, cups too large and band loose as hell like in Blake! such disappointment
So, ive found online 30F and 28FF for slightly cheaper (YAY!!) with matching bottoms.
The band 30 feels actually good, but the feeling of snugger band in other brand than EM and Comexim doesnt feel really good, its like I still feel them after some time ( I am wearing it now about 30 min), while in polish bras the feeling is gone after few minutes. The 32 was very large and 28 is not very bad, definietly looser than Marcie.
Recently I started wearing Marcies in 30F as they are just perfect, no wrinkles on the lace, making such lovely shape (definietly they looks better than 34D). Unfortunately, the skye is like 1/3 cup too big on the bigger side and 1/2 on smaller side. Its not really noticeable under tops, but im gonna ask my mom to fix that by sewing the bra on the sides somehow. Im not so sure if 30E would work.. Im still tempted to try when Ill have a chance! Overall, very weird, 32E was really big, 30F is not bad and its wearable, and 28FF was too big with more wrinkling than 30F (but not as big as 32E). I dont know if its my boobs or just my poor luck.
The wires are neither narrow nor wide, but around 0.3-0.5 cm too wide - 30E would definietly have perfect wires. But I can live with them, theyre kind of soft, softer than marcie. Did anyone try to bend Cleos wires? is that possible like in Comexim?
I dont know what Cleo did with the design of this bra, but the sides from cups and straps are wide and theyre little bothering my armpits. I dont know if this is caused by little too large cup or its the Skye itself. I really need to put my hands on 30E/32DD to check it out!

As I said, I got panties with this bra, size 10UK (S). I think cleo started to produce snugger bottoms, as before I could easily wear size 10 and now I feel way better in 12. They look so cute but I need bigger size: (

ORIGINAL REVIEW AND PICTURES (April 2019):
For background, I have a 33" loose underbust/32" snug underbust, so I sometimes fit into a 32FF and sometimes in a 34F depending on the bra. I couldn't find the Cleo Skye in 34F, so I only tried it in 32FF.

I picked up the Cleo Skye fully expecting it not to work for me because I see it recommended for full-on-top shapes and I thought I was full-on-bottom, but I was surprised. It fits me quite well. The band stretches enough to be comfortable for me. The gore tacks slightly harder than I'd prefer, but I have definitely experienced worse. The ... cups fit me well and give me a slightly rounded, natural shape. The seams don't appear to show through my shirt, but nipples may because they don't fall behind a seam and the fabric is thin. I think the light fabric will be especially nice for staying cool in the heat of summer. Finally, I often have trouble with Cleo and Panache bras digging into my armpit area, but this bra doesn't seem to do that. Again, I think the fabric helps here - it does come up into the area that often gets irritated, but the fabric is soft and doesn't feel like it is digging in. Overall, the Cleo Skye was definitely a pleasant surprise.

I have mixed feelings about the color combo. I don't hate it, but it feels a bit tweeny and I think the bright pink straps may show through lighter fabrics. However, I like the fit enough that I'm keeping the bra anyway.

Update: After wearing this bra consistently for a while, the gore feels much better. It seems to have softened up and become more comfortable. This is definitely my go-to bra now.

UPDATE (November 2021):
This bra got a lot of use over the last two years. It fit well and gave me a shape that I liked. However, I am currently 24 weeks pregnant and my bra size has changed. I now measure at a 34G or 34GG. I can still wear this bra but it feels tight and no longer fits as well. On the last hook, the band feels very tight and restrictive which makes sense given that it is ~2" too small. The cups are more forgiving than most bras and my tissue actually does almost fit but it does quad if I swoop/scoop properly. My tissue pushes the underwire down out of my IMF and it settles ~1.5" too low a few minutes after putting it on. This is another bra that I'm very sad to no longer be able to wear, especially because it is a discontinued model that I won't be able to buy again when my size stabilizes.

This bra fits great. I love the rounded shape it gives. I think the mesh lace feels a little bit more flimsy than some of my other unlined cleo bras. Also the strap color is very very bright, which isn't my favorite. But I love how it fits.

Short, projected, slightly narrow, close set, center full, even breasts....

Two tenths of an inch more cup width and a narrower gore, and I would keep this bra. This is a comfortable Cleo bra; a first for me. The fabric is lightweight, slightly stretchy, and soft. However, the cup width is .2" too narrow. Sigh. Strangely, when a cup is too narrow, not only do I feel discomfort under my arm, but also the pain radiates into the center of my breasts. This is not a sensation I can tolerate for more than a few minutes.

Please note: the band will stretch beyond 31". However, the wires distort at ... 31". I have a 28" underbust and sized up to the 32" to eliminate wire distortion. If you don't require maximum immediate projection, the distortion may not bother you. I may have a slight omega shape to my breasts and need as much immediate projection as I can find.

This band is too big because I receive very little support. But, when supported by a band more appropriate for a 28" underbust, my breasts become very close-set from top to bottom. To date, I've found one wired bra that can both support my breasts and has a narrow enough gore. And, the support from a too-large-band is less than I receive from some wireless options. Wireless is my preference until I can find a gore narrow enough.

Despite my affection for Cleo's choice of fabric and the excellent immediate and center (near the gore) projection, this lovely will journey back to the vendor.

Projected, Even/FOT, Close set, Usually 30g/32ff

Straps are wider than usual Cleo bras. This model also has thicker cotton-y feeling lace. Extremely comfy. The band doesn't have much stretch in itself, which will probably help it last longer. The cups feel like there's less volume than my 30G Cleos.

Wires lay on tissue, still wearable, but start hurting after a few hours. I suppose I could sew a dart at the gore, but it wouldn't look as nice. Give rounded/forward projection but Marcie is still a bit more forward/has closer set ups.

Not good for FOT, with no stretch on top. I spill out slightly on the bigger side. The tall sides help with containing tissue on the side which I like, except when I do a lot of arm movements; then I can feel the fabric scratch under the armpit.

Overall, I like this model as much as Marcie. Just wish the cups weren't closed on top, and the wires were closer.

My shape: narrow/average root width, tall roots, projected/very projected, immediate projection, even fullness.

This bra is only *just* deep enough in the cups for me, and I suspect that post-ovulation it will be too small. I think it is somewhat flatter than Cleo Blake and Kayla, especially the top section. It is narrow/average width. On me, it gives me a naturally rounded, low, slightly minimised shape - a 'my boobs but better' kinda shape. I'm interested to compare this one to the blue colourway, to see if the blue is any deeper. As it is, this is not my favourite bra (maybe it slightly squashes me?) but it is ... comfortable, and a good option for me to wear under shirts that otherwise strain at the chest or on smaller days. I bought it because I heard it is a deep-cupped bra, and I'd say that's true.

The cups are tall, but I wouldn't recommend this one for anyone with upper-fullness due to the flatness described above (the cups don't close particularly, but rather slowly lose depth above the apex, and are firm enough to squish). Do recommend to tall rooted people though, there's a good chance that it'll fit like it does on me. The band is firm in the lilac colourway.

The design of this bra is lovely - the lilac, neon pink and yellow are an unusual colour combination and the lace is pretty. It sorta makes me think of sports luxe. The pink especially is a wee bit bright for me, but I'm pale AF. On darker skinned people I imagine it would look A+. The purple is deeper/darker than Cleo's promotional pictures show, not at all pastel in tone.

Sister sized up to 30G because it was not available at the deeply discounted price in my usual size in a Cleo 28GG
Short roots, functionally full on bottom , although probably in my more perky days even. Very center full and require a lot of immediate projection.
Pleasantly surprised how well this bra fits, great on immediate projection and center full accommodation. Gore actually sits perfectly flat which never happens with me. One of my best fits.
Lace is very soft and so bra provides okay lift now, but not as front and center as so many Cleos

Shape is a natural shape and make me look a little smaller. Band width in 30 is okay now.
This bra doesn't seem quite up to the quality of most Cleos. Okay though because I got it at a bargain price.
