This is the Cleo Lucy bra in yellow! It's one of my two favorite bras as far as fit goes, and it looks pretty nice too (even though I'm not much of a yellow person).
I have average to slightly broad shoulders and the straps feel a little too wide/far apart at times, but it's not a big deal.
I have pretty much equal fullness on top and bottom (maybe a tiny bit more in the bottom) but I'm fuller on the inside of my breasts than the outside -- the top line of the cup is smooth on me in general -- a tad too tight with my chest out, shoulders back; a tad too loose when I'm slouched forward.
All my tissue fits within the actual cup well. The wings are high enough to feel secure and supportive without being bothersome to my armpits and without showing under tank-tops and the like.
The fabric is kind of rough but it gets better with a few washes and you get used to it. After a full day of wearing it you may see the embroidered details lightly imprinted into your skin.
My rib cage measures 70cm -- this band is nice and firm! It was a little too tight when I first started wearing it but it was perfectly tolerable and, after the first couple weeks, not noticeable. Now, three months into wearing this thing fairly regularly, I'm still using the (first?) hook setting that makes the band the longest -- this bra will last! It also doesn't stretch very much throughout the day. It will leave me with a red under wire mark at the end of the day but it's very worth the extraordinary amount of support -- it's a very good band!
My breasts are positioned fairly low on my chest and the straps are plenty long; I could even make them longer!
What else to say?
The embroidery on the fabric will show through a thin/tight shirt.
I love this bra because it gives me exceptional support aaaaalllllll day long and it's cute!
Be warned though, I have 2 other Cleo Lucy bras in different colors and they are not all they same! I also love the Cleo Lucy in 'raspberry' but I also have it in pink and did not like it -- I ended up altering (narrowing) the center gore and and it's alright now, but I still consider it my 'frumpy' bra.
