I picked up Lucille on deep discount during HerRoom's summer clearance sale. This is my first swim top from Cleo, so I went with my normal size of 28DD. While this print wasn't one I would choose normally, happily the fit worked out!

The fit seems to run pretty true to size for Cleo balconnets, although I am not sure exactly which block this is based on. The band is definitely true to size, and the cups fit me snugly, although this may be because the cup height is not very tall. I found the style to be lifting and supportive on me, and I ... definitely liked this fit much better than the Freya plunge styles I also picked up. These all have the same plastic snap back, which I found to be difficult to put on, however once they are on, they feel secure.

I like the fit of this top, but I am not a fan of the geo print or the little button details. For swim, I like simpler styles with no additional ornamentation, contrast binding, etc. I'll definitely look out for this style in the future and see if I can get it in a solid color or a print that suits me better.
