    Hasn't set fit

    Of all the bras I have, I found this one feeling the least comfortable. The underwire just seems a bit larger than the other bras I got from Cleo in the same cut/style. The underwires would stab me a bit on my side whenever I'd kneel. The cups also seem just slightly bigger than the others. But I like the design for this one the most, which is a shame. It's very much still wearable and I'll totally keep it, but bummed how large the underwires are.

    I have realized that this bra is actually a tad too projected for me, though I will still wear it. I would say I have average projection. The cup is gaping at the top. I wonder if a cup size down would fix it, but I honestly have no idea. I am no longer sure if I consider this to fit.

    However, everything else seems to be pretty comfortable and it is cute!!

    Oh, Millie https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" />

    Millie runs smaller than sister models, Meg, Chloe and Marcie. The band is also firmer. I feel like the "smallness" is because of the fabric content.

    wires are way too wide for me, think i ordered a cup size too large as well. Band was great, though.

    There's something very wrong with the cut of this bra. I think I'm the target shape for it, but it is terribly unflattering. It's a bra that should fit me but just doesn't.

    The strap is placed too far away from the edge of the cup in a 3-part cup; this has the effect of giving a lot of lift tension in the middle of the side panel and pushing a blob of breast tissue out to the side. The breast tissue is still inside the cup, but the shape is like your breast has some sort of gouge taken out of it, and the fabric strains.

    The top of the cup is equally paradoxical. I get in-cup quad boob and loose top lace that curls up away from the breast at the edges. I don't think it's possible for that lace to fit smoothly. Pulling the straps tighter just gives me regular quad boob.

    The wires are quite high as well.

    Only worn for a few minutes to try on and review. Bought for $22.22 online (free shipping & returns) from Amazon.com after a 20% discount for signing up for their fashion news email in February 2014.
    Wires - The wire width felt too wide, and the length/height felt too high under the arms, but didn't actually poke.
    Comfort - The straps are set wider than I'd like and rub/cut into the front of my armpits uncomfortably.
    Fit - The band feels snug. The center gore does not tack. The cups "flare out" a little on my smaller (right) side at the top, but I don't think it's because it's ... too big...it may have to do with the scalloped edge. It isn't noticeable under clothing. The mesh top section puckers a little along the diagonal seam. There isn't a fold at the bottom of the cup, but there is wrinkling at the bottom on both sides. Both sides have a little bit of empty space at the top corners where my armpit/boob crease is.
    Under clothing - A nice rounded shape. The vertical seams are visible under a clingy top, but not too noticeable.
    Overall - The fit is off in the cups, and it's just not comfortable, so I'm going to return it.

    34F

    Didn't fit

    I know this is supposedly a sister cut of a few other Cleo's that havent worked for me (Ellis, Marcie) but i ordered it all the same since sometimes Sister cuts are more like Second-Cousin cuts, and i was curious to see the differences. Right now i have both a Bella in 34F and an Ellis in 34F. The Millie, to me, fits very differently from the Ellis.

    For starters: The lace top on Millie does still gape (as did Ellis), but much less so. It's definitely still too much to actually wear, but with Ellis i feel like i could've fit a whole other boob in there! ... The gore on Millie does itch and feel too high, but unlike Marcie (which I've tried in 34F, 36f, and now have a 34FF) i don't feel quite as stabbed. It isn't comfortable by any means, but no blood is being drawn.

    The band feels snug but not uncomfortable, and I'm still never sure about wires, but i don't feel stabbing or empty space so I'm assuming all is well there. The straps are, of course, too wide set and in my pits. Balconnet bras, pffft!

    The colors are gorgeous, but the fit is not for me! Back to Bare Necessities, unless i can sell it. One of these days something will fit.... i hope D'=

    I think this bra is super cute. It gives the boobs a nice round but not too round shape. It's a tad bit too small for me, I should probably have bought a cup size bigger. The band is good though https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> Even though it's a bit small it's still comfortable. Also I think this model probably isn't very good for boobs with lower fullness, the lace on top is quite big...

    This bra is so cute, and the cups are very soft. Unfortunately the center gore stabs me and I wind up with bruises after a day's wearing. Marcie is shaped like my beloved (sadly discontinued) Ellis, and my Marcies, but the center gore is completely different. Clearly Cleo occasionally has quality control issues, and Millie's gores have fallen short. I've bent the wires as much as possible, but eventually they reform themselves and they seem to get sharper each time I wear the bra.

    I really like how comfortable this bra is under my arms. No chaffing! Yay! However, I do get a little quadboob in the cup from where the lace meets the fabric, which makes me sad. The bra makes my boobs look kinda small from the front, but very projected from the side. I don't mind this look, but it's something to consider.
