This bra does not fit me. As my breasts are full-on-bottom/even and projected, this bra causes a large quad-boob effect as the cups are not deep enough for me. It would be better for someone who is more full-on-top, with less projection. The band is far too tight. As I measure at 29 inches for my ribcage, I am right between sizes, but in this bra I would definitely need to size up to a 30. I had to buy an extender just to make the band comfortable.

This was my first foray into online bra shopping with my size and shape from /r/abrathatfits, and I did not do enough homework! The bra is way too small.

Otherwise, the bra has great shape and sturdy build. The band holds its position and the material is comfortable. If you are confident in your shape and size as a shallow/FoT 28FF, this bra will likely work very well for you.

About me: 26FF/G, medium projection, even fullness, short roots, close set, average width.

Recently my boobs have changed shape from very FOB and projected to even fullness with wider roots - I didn't even know this was possible. But I'm looking for a seamless t-shirt bra works with this shape because my wacoal is getting quadding on the top/center area. Unfortunately, it didn't work out!

The construction: The cups, band and elastic are super smooth, very nice feeling material. The only not so nice part about this bra is the strap material. They are skinny and kind of sharp along the edges. The foam in the cups is quite thick ... and firm, not soft or elastic. Very opposite of Comexim which I am used to now. They are the type of cups that snap back into shape with an audible pop if you press them. It's not necessarily a good or bad thing, just different.

The fit: This bra only fits me as a strapless 😅 If I put on the bra and leave the straps hanging, it's not so bad! If I put on the straps, they are so wide set that if they go vertically up, they are off my shoulders. I have to angle them sharply inwards in to sit on my shoulders, causing the strap to rotate and warp the cup, causing gapping. Other than that: the band runs small, stretching to 27" which fits me well (might be because this is a black bra), the cup depth and height are good, and the gore is too wide, causing the wires to sit on my boobs and cause gapping (but if the bra had otherwise fit I'd be ok overlapping the gore myself).

Aside from my EM CH Onyks, the Cleo Maddie is my favorite bra model. I love the moulding of the cups and support and cleavage it gives to my FoB immediately projected and slightly wide set boobs. Low-cut although with a fairly high gore, so not good for plunge necklines (I wish this had a plunge gore).

As for this particular bra, I sized down in the band when I bought this because I was thinner. However, I *thought* I had to go up two cup sizes to get the same fit as the 30E, because I didn't understand fit as well as I do now. The cup size is, as everyone would say, one too large. So I can wear 30E and 28F in Cleo Maddie....but not 28FF. There is gaping in this one for me.

November 2015: Absolutely amazing almost perfect bra fit ever. I don't know why I didn't write an original review when I first got this! Now the band is getting stretchy and it's probably time for another 28FF. Basically, my most favorite bra ever and I will always wear it! Best fit I've ever had in a bra. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> The one tiny issue is the cup width. I think my breasts have magically become more projected and a bit less wide, but maybe the wires have just been stretched out since I wear this bra the most. The wire actually sits a tiny ... bit behind my breast root on the side now. But the center is great, I completely fill the cups, there is just a tiiiiiiny bit of cutting in at the top (not enough for the next size up, considering that I'm mostly 28F in almost every other brand and also that the wires are too wide) that doesn't show through shirts. This bra gives me a great silhouette and I can wear it under anything. While the color is a bit more dark beige than my skin tone, it's not a ridiculous tan or mocha color, so it hides pretty well even under sheers! https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" />

This is my favorite bra, by far. As an added bonus, I went back five months after first getting it, and it's still in production. I'm getting more.

This quirky halfcup is a gorgeous twist to my beloved Porcelain Grace! It gives a nice round shape and the color is delicious!

Nice lift. Stretches a lot over time.

Maddie just isn't for me. The 30DD fit best, but it is a bit small in the cup. I find the cup is just an odd shape for me and tend to flatten me out. I don't fill the cup on this one BUT at the same time the top cuts in giving my a quad boob like effect. It isn't a good shape for me.
