    Didn't fit

    This bra is so gorgeous. The pattern and the colors are beautiful. It is such a disappointment that the lace is so loose. The band, the straps, lower(woven fabric part), and the gore all fit really well. The bottom of the cups is really sturdy so my post nursing, bottom heavy, heavy breast are beautifully lifted and separated. Then there is that lace. Because the lace is loose I have some in cup quadboob where it spills over the woven fabric because the lace isn't holding firm. Because my post nursing breast tissue is so soft it just goes where ever it wants in the lace upper cup there is a lot of jiggle. However under clothes it looks great. I think I could probably go down a cup size and fill the lace only because my tissue is so soft. I have a great silhouette with this bra so I will keep it.

    The straps are a little bit too short, and the cups quite deep. But it gives a very good shape.

    32HH

    Didn't fit

    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 was probably narrow enough, and the length/height didn't bother me.
    Comfort - Pretty good except the wires seem to dig into my ribs when I sit. I wonder if bending the wires slightly to better follow the curve of my ribs might help, but I'm not keeping the bra so I did not try this. The straps are set wider than I'd like, but ... they're not terribly uncomfortable. The cups don't cut into my armpits the way they did in one cup size larger.
    Fit - The band feels comfortably snug. The center gore does not tack. The cups "flare out" a little on both sides at the top, but I don't think it's because they're too big...it may have to do with the scalloped edge. It isn't noticeable under clothing. The diagonal seam cuts in on my larger side, and there is some rippling along this seam on the upper section. There isn't a fold at the bottom of the cup, but there is a little wrinkling at the bottom on both sides. The wires do seem to stay in the proper place in the fold. Both sides have a little bit of empty space at the top corners where my armpit/boob crease is.
    Under clothing - The fit seems somehow a little angular...not rounded, like I prefer. The diagonal seams are noticeable under a clingy top.
    Overall - The fit is off in the cups and the shape is weird for me in this size, so I'm going to return it.

    32J

    Didn't fit

    Only worn for a few minutes to try on and review. Bought for $25.19 online (free shipping & returns) from asos.com in February 2014.
    Wires - The wire width was probably narrow enough, but the wires were tall enough to poke a little under my arms.
    Comfort - Pretty good except the armhole is too small in the front - the cups cut into my armpits uncomfortably. They also make it hard to reach across my body - like when I try to pull a shirt off over my head. The straps are wide-set and fall off my shoulders. I only have two bras ... that are close to fitting, and neither of them are soft-cup. The gore on this soft-cup seems so high compared to them, and I notice it touching my sternum, which is a little irritating, like an itch.
    Fit - The band feels comfortably snug, but I can fit my fist under it. The center gore tacks. The cups gape a lot on both sides at the top, but I think the cups are overall just too tall for me. The gaping isn't noticeable under clothing. There isn't a fold at the bottom of the cup, but there is a little wrinkling at the bottom on both sides. The wires do seem to stay in the proper place in the fold. Both sides have empty space at the top corners where my armpit/boob crease is.
    Under clothing - Not the best shape (for my preferences) but I would be OK with it if the fit was right. The seams are not completely invisible but not too noticeable.
    Overall - I was tempted to keep this bra because the fit seems so close...but I really haven't tried many bras. I hope I can find better. If I had more experience with alterations, I would have liked to adjust the underarm height and strap placement to be more comfortable.

    Fit well when I was slightly bigger, has some slight gaping at the top now, but still gives a really nice rounded shape. I think I'd do better in a 30H.

    It's a pretty fabric. The lace at the top of the cups is (was) a little bit too big - it ruffled & gaped. I probably would have been fine in a 28f cup in the Millie. As it is, I took in the lace a bit, which smoothed out the line perfectly for me.

    30H

    Didn't fit

    General Info: measure 28HH although trying 30 bands to see if they will fit and if the wires are better than 28 bands; close set, full-on-bottom and top breasts plus round in shape.

    Band: I tend to prefer 3 hooks and thicker bands but I don't mind it too although if there was an option of a wider band - like Bravissimo bras tend to do at the size - I would probably chose it. Does rise up so I do need a 30 band, although it does not ride up as much as Cleo Lucy and Marcie in a 30H.

    Wires: Surprisingly are not too wide at all, much ... better than Bravissimo's Alana and Thea & Cleo's Lily, Lucy and Marcie in the 30H-28J size range. Quite impressed considering what I am used to. Would prefer a little narrower but there's no creasing at bottom of cup to indicate it's affect.

    Gore: Being close-set, gores are tricky for me. I find this gore comfortable as it is the same as the Lucy, wider than Cleo Marcie and Lily. If a gore is too narrow, I find that the wires poke painfully while a marginally wider gore - where the two wires meeting have a slight gap, unlike Marcie/Lucy whose's cup wires touch - is able to skew of to the side, preventing pain.

    Cup Shape & Profile: Where the fabric and lace meet is quite tight, it looks like it cuts but, upon a second try, seems okay. The lace is a little baggy but I feel that this might be the look; a cup down would be far too small. Typical Cleo rounder, lifted profile that I love.

    Appearance: Stunning lace and cut, love the geometric pattern as well

    Result: Will return to try a 28HH and 28J

    Didn't fit

    I love this look. These has tighter fitting band than my other Cleo bras (Darcy). Also my breasts fit in to cups better than my other Cleo bras. I think that difference is that Millie has only fabric in cups when Darcy has padding. I need to go up one cupsize for Darcy etc. padder Cleo bras.

    I own this bra in the geo print. This bra is exactly like all of the other cleo balconnect bras that I own. They all fit the same even with the different names of them. The major difference is just the designs that each of them come in.
