I have this bra in nude satin with ice blue lace. It is gorgeous with its cameo-like pendant as a centre gore, the lace covered the cups all the way down to the band (but not all the way back to the band) and the nude satin top peeking out above the lace on top. The cups are foam padded, just like the Rhea. The band is not that stretchy and the straps are partly adjustable, something I found in common with the Rhea.

I basically fill in the cups, except when I'm sitting, the top gapes a little, but not so much that it is noticeable under clothes. The centre gore is not that tall since this bra is a plunge (which is good because I have close-set boobs), but it doesn't exactly lay flat on me, and they even overlaps. I'm not really sure why is that, maybe my breasts are not suitable for plunges (I am full on top)?

I've also noticed that the cups slides down my ribcage after a few hours of wearing. This causes the bottom of the bra to crumble under my boobs' weight. Since the straps are partly adjustable, they don't adjust short enough for me, so I unseam the straps (the satin part on the back, because it is much easier to sew them back on), pull them shorter about 1", and sew them again. I find with this adjustment, the cups sits higher on my chest and the fit become much better. They also don't slide down anymore.

The width of the cups are a little wide on me, but it doesn't cause discomfort on me. The wires are shorter than their casing (?), so I find them sliding around while wearing the bra. The wings are high, which I like because it prevents underarm fat.

The shape on me is not as round as Cleo Lucy, but rather the green shape, which I don't mind. Under clothes it is pretty seamless except for one of the part on top where the lace overlaps themselves. It looks like I have weirdly placed nipples under clothes. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_razz.gif" alt=":P" /> I can just snip the lace a bit so that they don't overlap and tack them with superglue.

Overall I find this bra is comfortable and gorgeous. Although the band is not that stretchy, it is perfect on my 27" ribcage. I don't really feel the need to break in into this bra. It's that comfy!

This bra is not owned any more
