Great bra for lots of immediate projection. I'm not a fan of all the bows, but looks great under shirts.

My shape is low set, narrow and short rooted, and soft.

I received this bra from Sonya for a good price because my boobs have been feeling deflated and smaller lately, so I thought I should try a smaller size. Well, apparantly, I'm not quite a 28F yet. My large side (L) is bulging over the top and sides. My smaller side is bulging too, but not as bad. The wings are too short and the cup is too small.

The band is fairly firm, and it looks like the wires are being stretched, but they are actually just shaped like that (kind of like a ... rounded check mark rather than a U). They may be stretching a tiny bit, but the band didn't feel too tight or anything, just firm. I don't find the band all that comfortable because it is firm and narrow... it felt a bit like it was cutting in and would get uncomfortable for long wear. I prefer a band around 28.5", sometimes even 29" for comfort because I don't like to feel the band squeezing. The straps adjusted long enough for my tall frame, but they are narrow and not all that comfortable either for some reason. The inner cups are lined with soft cotton.

The bra itself is cute (though the bows aren't quite my jam). It's a half cup with 3 vertical seams. Too bad it doesn't fit because I have a feeling it would have given a great shape if it had fit.

Overall it's average to good for comfort and quality, and it would probably make a real 28F'er happy because of the shape it would give.

The cups are too tall and the shape is weird.

I'm simply the wrong size so I'm spilling out majorly. I love the look of this bra.

I love this bra! The fit is absolutely perfect on me (FOB, shallow, kind of wide-set), it's extremely comfortable, gives a nice shape with a bit of lift, doesn't show through clothes (unless I wear a white top), and I love the jaunty orange and pink bows. V sad they seem to have discontinued this, I've just bought a Cleo Christina Balconnet Bra (7441) on Ebay on discovering that it's the same cut.

This bra makes my breasts look quite good and fits pretty well, but from the side the cup looks a little bit empty on the nipple area, although it doesn't show while wearing clothes.
The right underwire started to dig under my breast after a few days, but bending it slightly outwards fixed it.
The band felt really tight at first, but after a few days days it stretched a bit and now it fits perfectly on the loosest hook.
The style is very pretty and I love the ribbons although they show a little under thin clothes.
The straps are fully adjustable and don't slip off my shoulders.
I've been wearing it for a month, so if possible I will update this review to write down any changes.

I bought this bra blind on ebay because I really liked the design knowing the cut works for me. I own this cut three times (Cristina, Jessie and Jolie) and I'm not so happy that this cut is discontinued since it was the only Cleo cut that works for my small FOB breasts.
The band is not as stretchy as Christina or Jessie, it is quite tight for a padded Cleo.
I like the shape but the bra tends to show up in my cleavave, so it is more a winter favorite. The gore is gentle for a Cleo but still sometimes a little bit uncomfortable.

Gorgeous grey @Cleo JoLie is comfortable and modestly, thinly padded. It has single verticle seamed cups that promote a lovely round shape. The beautiful orange & raspberry pink bow embroidered tulle cover the cups so the seams aren't visible under tight clothing. The hardware is a cute matching orange. The tops don't cut into me & neither does the leotard back.

I think I'm in love with this bra. I've been lusting after it for purely aesthetic reasons since I saw it last year but of course it was discontinued and I couldn't afford it anywhere I could find it. I stumbled across it on super clearance last week and snatched it up. Recently I've had some breast growth and this is my first foray in 30Es. The volume is absolutely perfect, the shape is excellent, every part of this bra is comfortable. The gore doesn't even dig in after a full day of wear and the straps seem to stay up. Honestly this might be the best fitting ... bra I've ever had.

My breast perimeter is about 8.5" which seems to work well with the 8.3" cup depth. I think I have a tiny bit of room at the top of the apex but it doesn't bother me and it's really small. I have an even, conical shape, with tall, shallow roots, and a fairly average root width. The width on this is spot on for me. I don't get any cutting in on my tall roots but it's closed enough that it doesn't gape on my less than full boobs. The wings are pretty low and comfy and don't have any side boning, I'm not sure if they might in bigger sizes. It's a pretty full coverage bra and might not be compatible with low cut tops. This is a padded seamed bra, for some reason I thought it was moulded before I got it. It's a two-part cup with a single vertical seam that gives that nice round, forward Cleo shape. The embroidery and seams aren't too lumpy and I would feel fine wearing this under a t-shirt, though it might show through a little.

One of my favourite bras which I have unfortunately grown out of - there's more of a problem with wires digging in at the sides than cup digging in at the top. Despite the decoration and embroidery, this bra left a smooth line under tops and I love all the orange stitching.
