The straps are very far apart, cutting into my underarms and the wires in the center gore are quite high. The cups are smooth and the band feels comfortable. Looks great under a shirt and gives a very nice rounded shape.

The straps are very widely set, which makes it feel as though they cut into my underarms. The center gore has high wires that are a little irritating. Overall, the cups and band fit well. I really enjoy the shape it gives me and it looks smooth under my clothes.

Description of being a "padded" bra is misleading. Cups are thin foam with a lace extension that is incredibly itchy and irritating. This is in no way what comes to mind as a padded bra (e.g., padding in a push-up bra or Victoria Secret bras). Underwire does not fill entire casing and gore has a tendency to shift from flat to one wire protruding forward and the other tucking behind it.

Lace on top edge of bra is unbearably itchy and scratchy until the edges of the lace have worn down from washing/wear. Lace is also meant to be upper part of the cup and works best for those with a rounded shape on top (full on top?) and not for shallow-breasted

Great for full on bottom breasts. Also fits like a 28G instead of a 28GG

This is too shallow for me. Size is good and its ok in a tshirt, even if a little flat. It somehow manages to be a bit small in the cup, bulges out my inner fullness and gapes at the top corner... overall not a great fit. Large in the band, but still ok. Brings my wide set breasts too much together. Lace is a bit funny, very stretchy so you'd think it would be forgiving for inner fullness but not on me...

Cleo Juna kept coming up in my Bratabase recommendations in all sorts of sizes, so I decided to grab one when I found this on deep discount. Unfortunately my preferred size of 28DD wasn't available, so I decided to try the 30D. Juna turned out to be a bra that is wearable and looks pretty decent under clothes, but is one of my least favorite fits thusfar.

Cleo bands tend to run a bit small, so usually 30D works for me. However, I found that this band runs extremely large even though the construction of it is supportive. It definitely rides up my back unless ... I wear it on the tightest hook. However, the cups are smaller overall than 28DD Maddie, which fits me perfectly. While 28DD Juna might be better for me, I think this style just runs a little small in the cups, and I wonder if I could pull off a 28E. I can still wear this bra without any overflow though, and a tighter cup fit will help minimize the visible vertical seam in the middle of the cup, so it ends up being workable. I really dislike the short molded cup and the lace trim upper cup. I feel like this makes the cup look absolutely tiny and disproportionate on my body, plus the lace makes the upper edge of the cup very visible under clothing.

I wish I could return the bra, but I bought it final sale. I think it will be fine to wear in the winter where thicker layers can help disguise the visible seams, but this is far from my favorite lined bra.

This bra was recommended to me because I like the Cleo Maddie (which I have in a 34F, but haven't tried in a 32FF). With a 33" snug underbust, I sometimes fit a 32FF and sometimes a 34F, so I tried the Juna in both sizes.

For the most part, I like this one. The Cleo Juna fits similarly to the Maddie in the cup. For me, the gore tacks well and the band is comfortable. The cups are a touch small, so I get a bit of quadding. I don't know how apparent that is in the pictures, but I can definitely see it through a tight shirt ... when I look down at my chest. I like the cups otherwise - they're lightly padded so they are smooth and don't let nipples show through. I was a little worried about the vertical seam showing through shirts, but it does not appear to. It does; however, help the cups move with me better than most molded cups do. I'm not sure if going up a cup size would help or just make the fit weird, but I'm not planning to try it because of the problem I'm having with the straps. Honestly, the main complaint I have about the bra is actually the straps. There is an o-ring between the soft, padded section of strap and the adjustable portion of the strap. Unfortunately, the bra fits me in a way that puts that o-ring at a weird spot on my shoulder that wouldn't be comfortable for all-day wear.

Ultimately, I'm not keeping this one. It was tempting because I got it for a good price and it is a close fit, but I have options that suit me better.

This bra was recommended to me because I like the Cleo Maddie (which I have in a 34F, but haven't tried in a 32FF). With a 33" snug underbust, I sometimes fit a 32FF and sometimes a 34F. I tried the Juna in both sizes.

The 34F had a few small fit issues which I described in its review. The 32FF definitely fits worse for me. The band is ok, maybe a little on the tight side of snug, but not uncomfortable. The gore tacks if I swoop and scoop. However, the cups themselves are definitely too small. IMy breasts can't sit down in them, so I get a ... lot of quadding (should be visible in pictures). This doesn't seem to be an issue of projection at the wire (which is a common problem for me), but rather just the whole cup is too small. As with the 34F, there is an o-ring on the strap between the soft, padded section of strap and the adjustable portion of the strap. Unfortunately, this bra fits me in a way that puts that o-ring at a weird spot on my shoulder that wouldn't be comfortable for all-day wear even if the rest of the bra fit.

Ultimately, this is another miss for me.

My first cleo and the fit and quality is excellent! I'm writing this after working a whole shift and it's still super comfortable. The fabric is super soft. And I adore the colors, super vibrant. I might technically need a little more center fullness, but that's super knit-picky .
