    36FF

    Fits

    Love love LOVE this bra! I normally wear a 34G but this fits exactly the same as my other 34Gs so I'd definitely take that into account when purchasing it. I love that the main body of the bra isn't just lace like some other Cleo bras, and I love the material even though it takes a little getting used to. I have low-set breasts and this bra makes them look amazing and sits them in just the right place.
    The large rings in the back that connect the straps to the band irritate my backne but other than that it's perfect.

  2. Very well made and pretty. Just a bit too small in the cups and big in the band. I have quadding when I scoop and swoop, but the scoop and scoop doesn't last. I can wear it comfortably on the middle and tightest hooks. Just a bit of wrinkling on the lace. I have no idea if this or the lucy are a better shape for me and what they say about my breasts. Any help is appreciated!
    Just noticed that the bra keeps sliding down out of my if. Looks like not enough immediate projection.

    This bra fit the girls pretty well and kept them perky and in place. The top of the cups did wrinkle(mostly the lacy bit)but mostly on my right/slightly smaller breast. The band was a bit tight at first, but it's a brand new bra so better a bit tight than not enough support. Even so I think I'll be moving up to a 32 band size since I don't like the band too tight. With the scoop and swoop technique there has been no back fat. The only weird thing is that the cups are set rather close so the girls look a lot closer than they normally do. It doesn't cause a problem it just makes me look like i have narrow set boobs instead of the slightly wide set I naturally have. The only uncomfortable part is the center gore, it really digs into the sternum, i think it is too high. The bands are really soft, I love the seam in the middle of the cups. It kept me from having my headlights!

  4. Took me a while to figure out why this one works for me when Marcie doesn't, really (a lot of wrinkling in that and not nearly as good a shape as I get in Melissa). I finally got it; it's the difference in fabric. Melissa's made of a much stiffer, thicker fabric than the Marcie is, so it actually gives me the rounded shape Cleos are supposed to, rather than letting my boobs take on their desired pointness. Marcie is too thin to hold them in any position. Not so with Melissa. So anyone who hasn't had actual fit issues in Marcie but just hasn't loved the shape ... they got will probably love this one.

    Wearing in my usual size, no issues there. Fits very, very well, with just some slight wrinkling at the bottom of the cup of my smaller breast, and a little bit of floppiness in the lace on that side when I'm in certain positions. I'm right lined up with the T-seams, yay!

    The straps on this weren't long enough for me until I wet-stretched them, and even now they're let out to the very last millimeter. I saw someone else who got this in the same Zulily blitz that I did say she had the same problem, so it's possible there was some issue with this batch?

    This is the only unlined bra I've tried that I love, and I really love it.

    Had to bend the gore to stop it from stabbing me, but, well, it's a Cleo, what do you expect.

  5. I'm not sure about this bra. I really like the colours and patterns, but I don't think it is really the right shape for me... or I just might need a larger cup. My large side does have some quading, but it fits my smaller side quite well. My large side also has some slight wrinkling along the horizontal seam, which I have never experienced before.

    One of the great things about this bra is the straps. They are a continuous strip of elastic fabric, so they are very comfortable and I joint have to worry about seams and jointed straps digging in when they are adjusted longer. The straps also have striations or grooves along their length so that they do not slip longer with wear.

    I'm on the fence about the band. It is VERY stretchy, and often slips up as I wear it, however it is also very comfortable. If I was to purchase again I would try for a 34 HH, which I'm not sure they make, or a 36H.

  6. Gorgeous! The band is the tightest of my Cleos, and I just bought two new ones, so I'm comparing apples to apples. I'm a small 32 (under bust 30, but with full lungs, 34) and this is quite snug, but still not as snug as my Panache 30. It feels good. The cups are gorgeous. I tried it on under a shirt and it was definitely smooth enough; unexpectedly smoother than my Darcy. Can't decide now if my favorite is Lily Aqua color, or Melissa! It's a good problem to have.

      I'm happy Melissa works for you, and super excited to see if it does for me. My order of bras can't get here fast enough!

    Fit very well, next time I think I'll size up in the cups though.

    28FF

    Didn't fit

    I got this bra used off of /r/braswap on Reddit and I am very happy with it. It was my first bra that fits. I have very few complaints and the ones I do have are really only due to the fact that it's slightly misshapen for me. I am really pleased with the firmness in the band. The wires are a tiny tiny bit too wide for me, and a tiny bit too short. I am kind of in between cup sizes (28FF and 28G) but this is a pretty good fit. I get a small amount of cutting in on the top of my bigger breast, but it doesn't bother me.

    Beautiful bra, the bright blue print and the red lace contrast perfectly.
    Fits perfectly, another favourite from Cleo!

    Not good for FOB. I couldn't fill the top but my boobs were bursting out of the bottom. It may work for a shallower FOB or FOT.
