After some mishaps with the Cleo Lucy and Lana bras, I've finally found the Cleo for me! The fabric pattern and embroidery are unlike any bra I've ever worn before. Even though I wouldn't choose it if other colors were available, it's a great change from the black, beige, and white bras that dominate the market for large sizes. Just beware: it shows through thin fabric.

The absolute best thing about this bra is that it puts the girls front and center, which has the fantastic effect of slimming the torso. AND, the lift and support are amazing. This bra truly makes it feel like having very large breasts is a blessing and not a curse. As it should be. I get a wee bit of quad boob on one side when I pull my shoulders back, but that's a given since one of my breasts seems to be a full cup size larger than the other.

And did I mention this bra is extremely comfortable? Well, it is! It miraculously doesn't slide down my chest during the day, which made my realize that I have a habit of constantly checking my bra, even though I don't need to with this one.

What makes the Bella work so well (for me, at least) is that it's quite *deep* in the bottom and open on the top. So this one is good for those who are "full-on-bottom" but can't handle a bra that is closed in on top, like the Cleo Lucy. I don't know how the Bella would compare to the Marcie because I can't find one in my size.

One thing to be aware of is that the band is rather stretchy, so if you're between two band sizes I'd recommend going with the smaller of the two, even if it means wearing an extender. I'm a true 36 and am already on the second set of hooks. after just a few wearings.
