Didn't fit

I have finally found the size and styles that seem to work for me. When I first got this bra, it was very snug in the band (like the other Cleos I have). An extender helped the first few weeks, as did washing it.

However, even though it was almost right, it was loose on the upper cup (but the projection and depth were spot on, if that makes sense). I made a tuck at the center of the bra right by the apex (took it in two scallops). Later, I read some comments on fit issues with the Meg/Lily, where it was recommended to push the wires down in the channels so that they are pushed away from the center and more towards the outside. Genius! Gapping is gone! My breasts are very close together as well as full and soft in the center, so I'm guessing that getting those wires out of the way lets them settle into place. I went a step further when tacking down the wires and tacked together the top of the gore. I do believe my breasts would be happiest if the wires overlapped, but this works and lets them settle more into place. With the outside wires up higher, it also helps keep the tissue from sliding out into the arm pit and more forward. This is now my most comfortable bra.

I am very happy with the way this bra fits now. Almost like it was made for me. Plus, it is supportive and practically disappears under clothes.

An added bonus of Cleo is that the colors and styles are fun. I have spent most of my life with very limited options. I didn't realize, either, how much my husband hated nude bras until I got my first Cleo!!
