AW2013 - Unpadded bandless balconette; grey base with white dots and red highlights

This bra is discontinued.
I got this bra in a size smaller than what I really need, so I can't 100% comment on the fit, but it's pretty similar to the old Frances or ...you know, any of those Cleo bras. A little opener on top than Lucy, not as open as Marcie. It's really pretty and I love the weird applique bow.

The center gore separation is a bit too wide for me. However, since it is an unpadded thin mesh bra, the core wrinkles to a good separation easily and without pain on the breasts.

The only bad thing I can say about this bra is that the cups tend to stretch a bit through the course of the day. Wonderful forward projected, rounded, lifted shape, and the color is so cute. The lace and seaming barely shows--really only through the thinnest shirts. I pretty much have to wash it after every wearing because of the stretching out issue, but other than that, it's like the Cleo Lily Balconnet Bra (7351) but minus the center gore digging into my sternum. More colors! Must have!

This bra is softer than the Cleo Lucy (5851) and it seems to run larger in the cup. It also fits me much better. The colour scheme works well under all but my lightest cloths. Good-looking and comfortable to wear.

Fabric is very soft. At first the bra was very comfortable, but it started poking me worse and worse in my right armpit/breast (which happens to be a cup size smaller). Very sad because it's such a pretty bra. Feels very stretchy. Feels as though the wires are too wide? Maybe I should go down a band size?

Great bra so far, only my second wear. I love that the straps on this bra don't jam into my armpits/sides of my arms. The breasts point forward too instead of to the sides which I prefer. It's a very sexy bra and feels comfy too.

I love this bra! It is so comfortable and fits well. It is more comfortable then my Lucy, which fits but is not as soft. The only problem is I am losing weight and I think it is getting too big for me.

I bought this bra to try it on, hoping it would fit. I love how it looks: the grey polka dots, the orange embroidery. It's very pretty. It's also in the size I've been getting Cleo bras in, 34F. Unfortunately, like all Cleo bras I've tried on, the centre seam on the cup cuts into my boobs, giving me a quad-boob effect. The top of the cup, however, is actually too loose and there's gaping. I get the same quad-boob effect from all the Cleo bras I've acquired recently, though this is the first to have gaping at the top of the cup. Also, the fabric on this ... bra, whilst very comfortable, is more stretchy than other Cleos I've gotten. Normally, a 36 band is a bit too loose whilst a 34 is a smidge too tight. With this one? The 34 feels like a 36 to me. It really does disappoint me that this is yet another bra that does not fit right. There are bits that are great to me. It gives a rounded shape (well, close to it; it would be round if the centre seam didn't give me quad-boob), the gore is wide enough for my wide-set boobs, the fabric is comfortable, the cups seem to actually encapsulate my breasts. But I get the quad-boob, the gaping, the band is too big or too stretchy (probably too stretchy since all my measurements say I should wear a 36 band).

My boobs push the gore together in the Cleo Lori in 32FF so that the two wires almost overlap. The cups and straps are a little too wide for me as well. The band is comfortable.

Very soft, very pretty. Band seem to be on the stretchier side. Get a slight bulge where the cups meet the lace. All in all, love it in spite of the flaws.

Looks like sizing down one cup might be a good idea. That might resolve the side poking.
