My shape: narrow, projected/very projected, tall roots, even to F.O.T.

This bra: I got this in the wine colourway, it's a very pretty, raspberry-ish tone. Fit wise it's lovely, the cups enclose my breast tissue fully, while the side slings push everything forward and out of my armpits. There's plenty of immediate and apex depth. The cups do close off, so if you are F.O.T. you may get cutting in. I'm even to F.O.T., and can only just get away with not quadding. The underband is thick and firm, but comfortable and soft. It does not ride up or fold during wear, and gives a lot of lift. I get a natural but supported profile in this bra.

Appearance-wise: the geometric lace and thick underband stop Lyzy from being too girly, the overall look is fresh and cool. The cups are lined with a light beige fabric (a nude tone for pale caucasians) and if you are darker skinned I'd guess it would stand out from your skin, so if you don't want a two-tone bra I'd avoid. (This design aspect is quite irritating to me, as a lining in the same colour or slightly lighter/darker than the wine colour of the bralette would work just as well.)

This is my first bra-sized bralette and I'm glad I took the plunge, it fits so much better than S/M/L bralettes, giving me decent coverage and support.

  I have been waiting to hear about this bralette! You have convinced me to try it. so excited!

• It's so nice! I was uncertain about it but it fits and lifts really well :)

• Ahh the Cleo Lyzy! I'm so glad you wrote this review, it sounds so comfy! I've been wanting to try this one since I saw it in the Panache SS catalogue. How are the cups split? How does the gore look/function?

  The cups are three-part triangle and completely attached below the bow (at the gore). There's not much space in the cups at the gore area, which forces my boobs to stay separate (I'm fairly close set but don't get mono-boob in Lyzy). On me the gore sits about 1.5" away from my chest, but I'm a big 30DD/small 30E, so it would probably sit closer on most people. If you're centre-full it might cut in a bit there - I'm assuming the lack of centre volume is to get separation without wires.
