    The cups are more open on top than Zia. Profile is slightly pointier than Zia/Lucy - it has more depth at the apex than either of these. The band is so tight! It's almost a full bad size smaller for me. Even after 3-4 weeks of wear it still hasn't stretched out and I need an extender.

    Didn't fit

    Only worn for a few minutes to try on and review. Bought for $18.10 online (free shipping & returns) from Amazon.com after a 20% discount for signing up for their fashion news email in February 2014.
    Wires - The wire width was probably narrow enough, but a little narrower would be even better. The length/height of the wires didn't bother me.
    Comfort - The straps are wide-set enough to rub the front of my armpit, but I'm used to this. If I keep this bra, I will try it with a racerback clip to see if it helps and update my review.
    Fit - The band ... feels just right! Very snug without being tight or constricting. The center gore does not quite tack at the top, but it's close enough for me. I wonder if it were a little narrower if it might tack completely. The top edge of the right cup (my smaller side) ripples a tiny bit, but not enough to bother me. There is a bit of a fold and some wrinkling at the bottom of the cup on both sides. I am OK with it given that the overall fit is the best I've had in an unlined bra. Both sides have a little bit of empty space at the top corners where my armpit/boob crease is.
    Under clothing - Very nice round shape; the seams are noticeable under a clingy top.
    Overall - I think I'm going to keep it! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />

    Update: After wearing a full day, the straps in my armpits are very irritating, plus they keep falling off my shoulders. My racerback clip is really inconvenient and difficult to use by myself, but I will update again after I try it. Also I find the fold/empty space at the bottom of the cups just gets worse; at the end of the day, the wire marks were about an inch below my IMF. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" /> I could also tell by the marks that the wires are too wide, but I'm not sure if that is tied to the wires being pushed down.

    Update #2: The straps are too short to use the racerback clip with. Instead I adjusted the straps as short as they would go, and they didn't slip off my shoulders nearly as much. The straps rubbing on my arms/armpits isn't as bad as it was after the first day; it may have just needed some breaking in. It does still leave pink marks on my skin, though. The fact that the gore does not tack but the cups are filled makes me wonder if I need a larger cup size... and I still hate that the wires do not sit in my fold. While I still like this bra overall, now I'm on the hunt to find a bra that fits better!

    Bella is so beautiful. The colors are beautiful. The butterflies on the lace are sweet. The shape is great. The fabric is firm and supportive. The magic Cleo shape lifts and projects my soft full on bottom breasts. I was worried about filling the top because the fabric isn't stretchy, but is just right. My smaller side only has a bit of gapping in some positions, but not bad at all.

    Beautiful bra. Very comfortable. Almost perfect for my shallow breasts except I can't quiet fill the cup. Might be fixed by sizing down the cup but I don't have the lower size to test. I would probably keep it regardless of the cup except for the shape is odd for me. Breasts are lifted which is nice but also pulled in to a point where it minimizes the look of my size. Still a pretty shape just a different look for me.

    This fits similar to Marcie, with slightly less space at the top of the cup.

    I got a great round shape, but ended up returning it because I don't much care for the color and the pattern of the fabric.

    This was SO tight the first time I tried it on. Ugh. After seeing the band measurement, I now know why. It stretches over time, though. Armpit fat hangs out the sides, and and the underwires sit significantly lower than my breast fold. It squashes my breasts as well. I think it's a little wider than my breast tissue.

    I really like Cleo bras. Along with Ewa Michalak, they're one of my favorite brands. This print is super cute, and I love the shape Cleo bras give me. I would prefer the wires and center gores to be a touch narrower, but they're fine. This fit well a few months ago, but after getting in the correct size, I had some breast tissue migration that's causing the larger side to quad-boob more than I can effectively hide.

    This is my best fitting bra. From the front you get no boob out past your sides. Everything is thrust forward, deeply, without being at all pointy, and everything is enclosed in the cups. The overall effect is very streamlined for a large bust, and the boob tissue is distributed evenly north and south, with no spillage. The band is on the tight side, but not uncomfortably so, and the bra fits true. No cons, it is perfection.

    The 30E Marcie fits me like a dream, however I cannot fill out the top of this 30E Bella - it seems like there is more volume in the top lace than in my pink Marcie.
