  1. I'm so happy to finally have a George! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
    I got it used from Bratabase, so thanks, Bratabase https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_mrgreen.gif" alt=":D" />
    It fits me perfectly. I had to look around, in the end I tried 30D, 30DD and 28F in various George colors, and I ended up needing a 30E. It's amazingly comfortable, I wear it and don't even notice it at all. It makes the shape that I like best and I also just plainly like the color (even though I usually don't wear yellow...) and the pattern.
    This will probably become my favorite bra! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

    30DD

    Didn't fit

    Look and feel:

    The bra is made of mesh, and the cups have two layers of mesh. It's quite comfortable to wear and the straps are skinny enough to wear under tank tops. The orange version of the bra has contrasting blue embroidery.

    Fit:

    This bra fits fantastically. It gives a nice rounded shape. I didn't have any wrinkling. The only issue I had was the band. It technically fits ok, but I was able to get to the tightest hook without any problems, so I will be getting the 28E instead.

    This bra is adorable! It does seem to cut into my center fullness, it would look weird under shirts. I haven't decided if I'm keeping it yet.

    30D

    Fits

    I've been exploring older Cleo styles as I've found so far that Cleo unlined bras tend to suit my shape best. George consistently came up in my Bratabase recommendations, albeit in a number of different sizes from 28D-30DD, so I scoured eBay and was able to find one to try.

    Thankfully, this bra didn't disappoint! I purchased the yellow gingham version with blue embroidery, as that was all I could find. I love the styling of the bra, as it satisfies my desire for one of those frilly Japanese bras without the padding. The color scheme and design are girly without coming off as too ... young. The fabric of the bra is the same mesh as Marcie, and the embroidery is decently soft without being scratchy. Overall the appearance of this bra is an A+.

    However, unlike Marcie, which is just super shallow and wide in the underwire, George's underwire shape is perfect for me. It's a slightly longer and taller underwire, with an even C curve that fits me perfectly. There's not much angle to the wires, as the outer and inner portions are fairly level, but it works in this style. Compared to Marcie, the cups are also taller vertically. Specifically, the bottom cup is taller and deeper than Marcie and Lucy, so it fits me much better. The lace upper cup is a bit wide on me and wrinkles slightly, but the upper edge sits flush against the skin, so I feel the fit is fine. I don't have any discernible issues between my larger and smaller side like I do in Lucy, so that's also a plus.

    I'd love to find more styles that fit like George. The only aspect I don't like about this bra other than it being discontinued is the fact that the straps are just plain, rather narrow straps (seems to be a thing in the older Cleo styles). I prefer the slightly wider, texturized straps in the recent Cleos as they help ensure the straps won't slip over time.

  5. This surprisingly fit. I am shallow, and neither FOT nor FOB. The Cleo George is a Marcie clone and I expected it to be more projected than it was. This is a good bra if you are sorta shallow or have average projection and are neither FOT nor FOB. The band ran true to size.

      It's entirely unsurprising to me that it fits. Marcie is a good bra for shallow shapes in this size range. There's some evidence that shallow overrides evenness/FOT/FOB and if George is the same then that's why it fits.

    Beautiful bra but sadly it's too big for me. Good for FOB.

    This one was, sadly, way too big for me. That was my fault, though, for assuming the fit of the padded Cleos would be similar to the unpadded ones.

    Really lovely design on this bra, though. I'd definitely try it again in a proper size.

    I should have returned this bra but never got round to it. It never fit me properly so I can't really review it.

    I adore the shape that this bra gives me. I just wish it wasn't yellow gingham! I was very put off by the color at first, but the fit is so spectacular and it's quite comfortable, so I guess I'll be keeping it.
