I love this bra so much. The band is comfy on basically all of the hooks depending on how snug I want it a particular day, although it's quite firm. It doesn't have much stretch at all, so sometimes the bottom right-side elastic of the band will dig into me by the end of the day, but it's not bad enough that it makes me chafe or bleed. The wires are a perfect width for me, and the cups are a perfect depth and height (thanks to the lowered cup alteration). The gore soft tacks on me, which I'm not concerned with because it doesn't affect how supported ... I feel in this bra. The straps are a good width/placement on me (they may have been moved in, but the previous owner can't remember for sure). The straps are also fully removable, which I don't think I've seen in a Comexim bra before, so that might've been a requested alteration as well. The design of this bra is also lovely, with the black mesh overlay over the beige base (nude for me) and the oriental-inspired flowers. It gives me a great shape and the cups and gore are low enough that it doesn't show even under the lowest v-neck tops and dresses.

This is the Spice colourway. I bought this and the Black colourway from SFYS in Toronto when they were on clearance for half price, because SFYS won't be stocking the Andorra Full Cup anymore (strange, I know). The band is wonderfully snug, but the cups are just slightly too small for me in this colourway (again, strange that it would run smaller in band and cup than the Black colourway!) so it makes it feel overall just a little bit too small. I can cope, though. This also means that this colourway is slightly pointier than my Black. Everything else is fantastic though. I particularly like how the straps are positioned closer-set than my other bras.

I do like this bikini top, but it does have its flaws. First of all, it is extremely shallow both all along the wire and at the apex, hence why I had to size up to 28G instead of my usual 28FF in Cleo. The band on this runs a full band size tight, as it only stretches to 25.5-26". The wires are quite wide and wrap around nearly to my back, and they also sit a lot lower than my IMF. The gore doesn't quite tack. The shape it gives me is not ideal (it flattens me out a lot), and it cuts into the top of ... my breast tissue a little bit. However, I ignore most of these issues because it's cute, I've never been able to wear a bandeau bikini top before, and it stays put whether it's dry or wet. In fact it really feels like it conforms to my body when it's wet. There's absolutely no chance of it going anywhere. It does hold a lot of water though, so it takes a while to dry.
I don't have the matching bottoms; I just picked up a cheap pair from Joe Fresh in a white and navy flower pattern and it coordinates well enough.

This is my first S style bra, and honestly, I think it's my least favourite cut so far. The band on mine is a true 28, which means I wear it on the tightest hook already. The gore doesn't fully tack for me, as I have dense, fairly self-supporting breasts that fight back. The cup volume is correct, but because the band is too loose it gapes a tiny bit throughout the day. The cups are slightly more closed on top in this size range than larger sizes. The straps are a little wide-set, so they require semi-frequent adjustments, but I don't think I've known any different, so it doesn't particularly bother me. I also have sloping shoulders, so it's a problem I'll always have. Other than these fit issues, it's a stunning bra made of very high quality materials.

I've discovered that this, the Parrot Print Lily, runs slightly larger in the cups than the solid-prints (ie. the Aqua). I also bought this second-hand from someone, so the band is stretched and I'm wearing it on the tightest hooks. Other than that, it fits fantastically, gore tacks, cups are smooth and round, wire width is great. All around a fantastic bra. I first owned it in 28F and when I grew out of it I knew I had to get one in 28FF.

I'm not gonna lie, I only bought this bra for desperate emergencies when I need something 1. strapless, or 2. absolutely seamless. The immediate projection is really nonexistent, it will never get into my IMF and slides down the front of my boobs, the gore floats because the cups are too damn shallow, the cups create the illusion of quadboob because the cut into the top of my breasts (I also have tall roots, which doesn't help), the band, although the right size for me, is uncomfortable because of the silicone strips, and this bra just generally doesn't breathe well and makes me feel like a hot sweaty quad-boob profiled mess. I may have to try the Deco plunge again, cause realistically, I rarely wear strapless things anymore.

I've only worn this bra two or three times since I got it, so these opinions could change in the future. But so far, I really like this bra! I bought it at Secrets From Your Sister in Toronto, Ontario for about $65 plus tax. A little more expensive than other Cleos I've bought there in the past, but still cheaper than Panache and Freya and most other brands. I really love the colour combination of this bra. It's hot pink with black mesh overtop which creates a really pretty cranberry colour from the outside. The band is a really soft and smooth microfiber and it's quite snug, ... like a lot of other unpadded Cleos (except for the recent Marcie in Bluebell and Blake bras; damn you for being so beautiful yet so stretchy!!). The cups have stretch lace on the top half in a really cool geometric kind of pattern, and the cups themselves create a super projected and round shape. In fact, I don't like wearing this bra with some of my looser tops because I don't like the silhouette it creates. However I do still wear it frequently when I am going for the projected silhouette. The gore tacks on me (I've never had a problem with this because my breasts have a fair amount of space in between them on my sternum), the lace lays flat (although I did have to go down a cup from my usual size because of the stretch lace and the fact that this bra is just SO projected), and it has decent immediate projection at the wire. The only thing that I was not happy about was that when I bought it, there were a bunch of additional loose threads that were sewn into the right cup. Like, there were little 1cm threads that I was picking out of the stitching because they were sticking out. So the quality was not quite up to par with what I've come to expect from Cleo, but I think that the issue with this particular bra was just a fluke. Overall, really happy with this bra!
Updated review, Oct. 5th/2017: Okay, so my opinions have definitely changed regarding this bra, and not for the better. This bra continues to reveal its poor quality. As I've washed and worn this bra, the stretch lace has been changing in shape and texture. It seems rougher, and it has become more loose and does not conform to my shape as well when I move around. The black mesh overlay on the cups has become slightly stretched and it wrinkles independently of the inside structure of the cups. The gore becomes painful after a day of wearing, which rarely happens to me. I'm not sure if it's because this bra has become a shape mismatch for me, or whether the cups have lost some of its shape over time, or any number of other reasons. Regardless, this bra has not lived up to its expectations. Hopefully this one bra, or this one model, is just a fluke and the rest of Cleo's bras continue to be produced at top quality.

My boobs: 26FF/G ish, but have been fluctuating a lot in the past year. However, I'm always even to FOT, narrow roots, moderately projected, firm tissue, with a decent amount of space in between, but not wide-set.
This bra saved my life when I was at my largest maybe about six months ago. The band was a bit too large for me, but it stayed put well enough on the tightest hooks. At my sort of "baseline" size of 26FF, the cups are much too tall and too large for me, but like I said, I've been fluctuating a lot in the past year, and it was one of ... the only bras to fit me comfortably at my largest. My criticisms are to be expected; band was too large, but manageable on the tightest hooks; wires were a bit too wide; cups are quite tall. This bra is definitely built for a larger frame than I, being quite petite. But it was there for me when I needed it, and for that I am grateful. It's also super gorgeous in real life.

This is a stunning bra. It runs snugger than other models (ie. the SM Summertime I bought in 60FF) but is still very comfortable for me. The straps are set a little wider than I'm used to, but that's okay. The only thing I'll have to get used to is the shape. For me, since I got one of the biggest sizes in the 3DM cut, it feels a little east-west for me, like the cups are just a touch too spread for my breasts. But that's my only qualm. The other thing is, this model is cut VERY low, and it's meant to be that way! It's not a high support bra, just for casual outfits or a date night where you won't be too active.
