Although this bra is beautiful in appearance and made of more comfortable material considering it is a Cleo (which tends to use low end lace/fabric), this bra is clearly not meant for wide rooted, full on bottom breasts like mine. There is enormous gaps above the nipples and underneath/near my armpit area. I suspect this style would be better suited to someone more full on top and shallow. My projected breasts do not want to fill out the top of the cup no matter what I try. It's a shame too. I really wanted the Maddie to fit.

This bra is moulded so there is complete nipple coverage which I need and like. It is very supportive and lifting!!! I feel like this bra makes my breasts look huge though. That's not really what I'm looking for in a bra because I feel they are big enough already but I may decide to keep it just because it fits me well.

This is, so far, my best fitting bra. It holds everything in place and gives a nice rounded shape. I intend to order it in one size bigger to hopefully have the right cup size.

Wow-cakes on a plate! I like the open half-cup style. Smooth under shirts. It runs high under the arms, which is good for armpit boob, but can chafe if I'm having an active day. The wires run wide, which I love. I have a bit of a curved sternum, so I had to bend he wire tips outward at the gore. This is currently my best fit.

UPDATE (original review is below): Over time (I first bought this bra four months ago), I have come to love this bra. It's my regular t-shirt bra now, my daily go-to. It took a while to adjust to the cups riding up high under my arms, but now I truthfully don't feel it anymore.

I've noticed that if I have a few days where I don't wear a supportive bra (eg. days spent in a sports bra instead), then I can't go right back to wearing this bra comfortably for a full 8+ hour day again, like when I first got it. However, if I spend ... a few days wearing some other bra, like my 32FF - Freya » Totally Tartan Padded Half Cup Bra (1423) , then I can get back in this bra comfortably. It's a bit annoying, but worth it, because it's the only problem I have with this bra now.

After two months, this bra had become such an integral part of my wardrobe that I bought it in a second color. The aqua color is delightful, and the nude color works under virtually everything.

If you've got a shallow shape and prefer moulded cups, this is a great bra to try, just give yourself a while to adapt to it.

Original Review (see update, below): The sides of the cups under my arms comes up really high; this is a bra that I'm going to gradually have to get used to. I can't currently wear it more than a few hours without it starting to hurt my underarms.

If I have my arms in front of me, it gaps quite a bit at the tops of the cups, which is visible under shirts at certain angles. Otherwise, it fits my shallow shape. The moulded cups are a flattering, very round shape, and smooth. The cups are seamless and it looks fantastic under clothes! The design at the tops of the cups is very low profile and smooth enough that it doesn't show through clothes.

Another item about this bra: I have a small scar at the top of one of my breasts that normally doesn't show out from under bras (since I'm absolutely not full on top). However, this bra holds my breasts in such a way that the scar shows above the top of the cup. It's not a problem, but very unusual (and something that doesn't happen with the Cleo Juna (6461)).

The Cleo Maddie looks wonderful on me and is very comfortable now that I've worn it a few times. When I first put it on, and for the next two or three times I wore it, the underwires made a creaking sound with every move I made. That's gone now, thankfully.

The only complaint I have is a gap at the outer tops of the cup unless I an standing/sitting with perfect posture. The slightest slouch and right where the bands meet the cups it suddenly looks like my breasts have shrunk a cup size. I've considered going down to a 32F, but I believe the problem is the design and not the size. (However, if you have knowledge on this, please share!)
