Didn't fit

I want to love this bra! The first time I tried on this bra, I fastened to the last hook. The wires felt a touch too narrow, and I kept having to re-scoop/swoop myself in it to get the bottom outsides of my breast tissue in. The straps were kind of wide, and I was pressing up against the top edge. I thought that was weird, because I've determined I'm really not that FOT. I fell in love with the projection and shape, though, and jotted down to try it the next cup size up. Now, I tried this on before all the others I purchased that day, and when I was looking at my notes to determine returns and re-orders, I determined that none of that sounded right. The cups on this bra are some of the deepest I've ever seen, and I know I'm not FOT enough to come out of it... so I tried it back on and walked around a bit, and caught a glimpse of the band riding up in the back

Sure enough, I pulled it, and it was way stretchy—I fastened it on the first hook instead, re-scooped myself in, and it was a totally different story. No more top spillage, no more escaping out the bottom sides, and the band stayed put. I hadn't read that Cleo was particularly stretchy in the band, but I am definitely going to be trying this one in a 32HH. The projection is out of this world!!

I am a bit disappointed to hear that the different color ways of this bra vary wildly in how the band runs, because that's a pain the ass to try to buy. I got the tangerine, and I heard the bluebell has a similar band problem, but looking here it seems like other colors run up to a size too tight in the band! That's a big shame because I would totally buy this bra in every color if I could predict which exact size I would need in each.

    i was told marcie was tight - apparently yellow was tight - but when I got raspberry it was crazy stretchy. I think I actually had it in a 32HH, but its way old and stretched out by now

Too big in the band, leads to a host of difficulties

Strap separation:
Are too far apart
Top of the cup:
Cuts into breast tissue (quad boob effect)
Band fit:
The back of the bra is not at the same level as the front (rides up)
Cup's width:
Outer cup cuts into breast tissue in the sides

This bra didn't fit her, but these did
