Cleo Sofia is a Marcie/Blake cut bra with a stretch lace overlay in the front only. This overlay adds a bit of compression, giving a somewhat minimized, sports bra or bralette look. The lace overlay extends about an inch above the cups. I personally find it less comfortable than Marcie, but YMMV. The straps are only half adjustable, but the unadjustable portion has some stretch. Unlike some bras (looking at you, Cleo Mimi!), my 5'4" self still has plenty of room to adjust in both directions.

The lower section of the cups is made from a single layer of sheer, non-stretchy mesh. The upper section is made from opaque, very stretchy material, that appears to be the same as used in the back band. The top of the cup is bound is a way that makes it very stretchy, much more than the similar looking Blake. This stretch, combined with the higher up lace overlay may work for taller rooted people (in my short rooted opinion!).

I've uploaded some pictures showing the interior, but haven't figured how to link them to the review.

• It’s definitely an interesting style. Something that could easily fill the bralette look.

• This would be great under a V neck!

• That looks interesting, like a cami with a built in bra.

• Do you find it also that it runs slightly big? I need Marcie 30FF but this one in 30F is like just ok, tiny bit too small in cups but 30FF was massive tho..

• martka00 I feel that the elastic upper cup makes the cups themselves functionally bigger/more open than Marcie, but the compression of the overlay makes it TTS for me.

  I had a similar problem with Blake and Hettie, though. With those, the 28FF was support-free, and the 28F quads if I move. I blamed the elasticity of the cups. That might be the case here, as well
