So I received my first cleo bra the other day, the cleo lily, on a fantastic sale on ebay. It is adorable! Great print and wow, amazing shape. I find it minimizes me a bit which I like. But after a while the underwires under my armpit kill me. It's not touching my armpit, it's an ich or two lower but it leaves a horrible red mark where the underwire ends. I tried to bend it as per some blogs I read but I fear I made it even worse. What does this mean? Is it because it's higher on the side than most bras I own? If so are there other Cleo's with similar shape that don't come up so high? I'm not ready to give up on cleo yet. It's the first non moulded bra that I've liked shape wise.

  • Just means the wire length is a little too long for you. I don't know much about Cleo to recommend an alternative, but you can do a search here on the brand Cleo and check and see if you can find another Cleo bra with a lower wire length/height than the Lily. I'm sure you'll find something. The Marcie is known for a very rounded shape, and I don't recall the wires bothering me (and I have high set boobs so wires are always bothering me) so maybe look that up?
