I have this bra in the Coral Spot. I don't have anything specific to write about other than I find it comfortable.

Although this bra is the same size as my Cleo Melissa the cups seem to be slightly larger. There is no fit issue at the top, but I can't quite fill the bottom. (I'm full on top, so perhaps this would better fit someone who is equal or full on bottom.) The band is also stretchier than my Melissa's band, so I've ended up fastening it on the first or second hook even though I've only had it for about a month and a half.
I like the bra, but I should have examined the fit more closely when I bought it.This bra is not owned any more

I found this bra on sale on Zulily, and loving the print, and not finding anything that said how it fit, I decided to give it a whirl. Mistake...
So, with that said- This bra is not meant for those even a little FoB. But, due to the to, which comes in close quite sharply, it is (likely- I cant say for sure) equally ill-suited for those vaguely more FoT. In my not-so-educated opinion, it requires a very round and even shape- almost as if designed for girls with breasts that are more like globes rather than the average lumps most of us have.
Also, I can't really imagine it ever working well for a short girl- I'm 5'1, and the underwires were right IN my armpits.
Quite depressing- I find it so beautiful, but there's no way it'll ever work for me.

Oh Cleo, where have you been all my life?? The fit, the shape, the lift... I think I am in love!
This bra literally has everything I've been looking for: Great fit, cute and fun style, no padding. For some reason, since I've finished nursing 2 babies, I seem to be sensitive to heavy padded bras. I used to wear that type of bra just about every day, and now I keep them for special outfits and occasions only.
I found myself pretty much resigned to wearing bras that fit nicely but didn't necessarily flatter or feel good. That is, until I found the Cleo brand. ... My last few tries have been hits: The Cleo Jude (5846) , the Cleo Maddie Moulded T-shirt Bra (7091) , the Cleo Lucy (5851) , and now the Cleo Meg Balconnet (6751) .
This bra has firm mesh cups that provide decent support and amazing lift. I am a small-ish size and it is very unusual indeed to find a nonpadded bra that doesn't make my assets look nonexistent. I am thrilled with this bra and glad I ordered when I did. I also am awaiting the Cleo Olivia (6651) which is basically the same bra in a different print --- and I think I may have bought the last one on the planet in my size!
One thing this bra has that the Lucy doesn't have is a full band. I don't have any extra natural padding around my ribcage, so the full band does make a difference in comfort. I have noticed the same difference between my Maddie (full band) and my Jude (partial band).
Another comparison with the Lucy: This bra (Meg) is ever-so-slightly fuller at the top of the cups. It's barely noticeable, but it is there. For me it doesn't affect the lift or support or show up under clothing, so I'm still happy. All in all, a great bra for me.

This bra is sooooo pretty. When I ordered it online, I had such high hopes. I love the detail of the dark navy color, cute little white birds, and red ribbon. Absolutely gorgeous.
Now, I think the bra mostly fit, but it made me look like the comic book character Tank Girl with the torpedoes on her chest. I even tried putting a shirt on over it to see what the shape was like under clothes and it was still super obvious. There was bulging on the sides, under the fabric because there is very minimal structure there. The center gore laid flat (I have never had that happen ... before) but was very high up, more than I am used to normally. Since I am full-on bottom with a more tuberous shape, the cups were filled out mostly on bottom, leaving the top a tad bit loose.
I am especially bummed because I planned on getting the matching underwear if it fit because I love the print so much. On the positive side, I let my best friend try it on and it pretty much perfectly fits her, and she has never had a bra that perfectly fit before. She spent a whole hour running up and down the hallways and jumping to test the fit more and more because for once she wasn't having major overspill. I was just a tad bit sad and jealous but I am very happy for her. It may help that she has a much rounder, full-on-top shape. I would not recommend this bra for anyone that has full-on-bottom and/or a tuberous shape.

Great fit. Wires much narrower than the Panach balconettes.

I really like this bra, but I think I need to size down one cup size. The band is firm and is very true to size...mine measured exactly 32 inches when stretched. The bird print is precious and I love the contrast of the navy fabric with the red details. The seams are strategically placed and I don't really have an issue with nipple show through. The straps are a bit wide set for me but that may also be because the cup is too big for me. The bird charm on the center gore is a nice touch. This bra gives a nice uplifted shape. I have some empty space at the bottom of the cups and some wrinkling at the top, even on my larger breast so I think I will size down to a 32F.

Man, I wish this would have worked out! It is GORGEOUS, but unfortunately I ran into the same problems as many others did. I had some extra space at the top of the cup despite completely filling it out. The wires and shape were awesome, I felt very supported. I almost wish I would have kept it and had the issue fixed by a tailor.

I so wanted to love Meg, but I am still not sure. Sometimes the bra fits well, but as I've come to find with Cleo, it's also a very firm and aggressive fit.
The projection in this bra is the best I've found so far, and that's a huge plus. But there's not a lot of room for variation on the cup's top seam. It gaps slightly, and I do need to adjust a lot.
I am still not sure about this bra. But it is beautiful and for cup depth alone, it is a standout.Updated on Aug 31, 2013 Flag this
