My shape, as best I can tell right now:
-balanced fullness
-full in center
-somewhat shallow
-tall roots
-soft tissue
-broad shoulders

Takeaway: Not a good fit for this shape. Issues were with center fullness and soft tissue.

Details:

I have lost a lot of weight, so when I put a bra on and I'm lifted up properly, I'm finding that what look like smaller boobs end up being a larger cup size than I would have thought.

Here is a description of the fit:

-the outsides were tall enough
-the band fit true to size (I had to put it on the second hook as the bra is defective and is missing an eye on the first hook, but I don't think this affected the fit too drastically)
-cups are too wide on the side, just a little
-the seam on the inner portion on the cup plus the wider cup separation posed a challenge. After immediately adjusting, I'd get a quadboob. Seconds later, my soft tissue settled into the cups, with the bra flattening my breasts out into a 'sports bra' kind of effect. No thanks! I'll stick to my old bras over this.

I've got a photo of the seam on the cup that was giving me trouble, so you can know what I'm talking about.

Quality: I mean... I got a defective one. It's missing an eye on the first hook. The third hook is actually sewn on unevenly. Defective hook aside, there are loose threads here and there. It's clearly sister sized down in the underwires/cups. The material is decent- feels good against the skin both inside and out. If it's good for your shape, then see if you can get it on sale as I did.

Comfort: To be fair to Cleo, even as a poor fit, it didn't poke or prod me, which is a big concern of mine as I have sensitive skin and little padding on my sternum. Straps are quite 'springy' but have decent strength to them. Keep in mind that they are 1/2inch wide. Sometimes straps that thin can feel like razor wire but I didn't notice that- much larger breasts may have a different opinion, of course.

Appearance: It's a decent basic. There's a tiny ribbon at the center gore with a little heart charm (if that's what you'd call it...) sewn onto it. Straps have tiny black polka dots on them. The bottom seam of the band and the top seam of the cups have a small scalloped lace edge. I'm putting defects aside when I rate appearance here.

Hopefully this review helps someone! I am a bit new to this.

So if you have a shape similar to mine, you might want to give this one a pass.

This bra is not owned any more
