This fits me quite well! For the first bit of wearing it, it dug into my underarm, but after a few days it is comfortable. There is a bit of a lip on the top, so it shows through tight shirts, but it will be good for deep-V shirts.

Moulded cups are usually not friends with my soft, slightly pendulous boobs. I just sort of ooze into the bottom of the cup, spill out at the gore, and leave empty gaps near the straps. This bra is no exception but fit the best of all the nude "tshirt bras" I tried, so I kept it because I needed it for an event where I wore a fitted dress with sheer panels near the shoulders.

The Neve Plunge T-shirt Bra is a well fitting bra for me, yet it's not one of my favorites. That's for two reasons: 1. The cupline is visible under clothes, which it shouldn't being a T-shirt bra and 2. it doesn't really follow the body's movements, when I bow over the cups tend to seperate half a centimetre from my bust, especially near the gore. 3. The straps start very close to my armpits, they keep on sliding of my shoulders towards the neck, where they pull the bra to the center :/
Yet, the bra has a kind of push-up effect on me, which shows nicely wearing u-shaped ... shirts over it, where the neckline of the shirt runs along the cupline of the bra to cover it up a little.
The band size is fine with me, it could be a little tighter, but that's my personal preference. I must have been wearing this bra about 30 times since I got it and the band is still very elastic and firm, even though I've been wearing it on the tightest hook since day 1.

Yay, a plunge that works for me! Having tried the Freya Deco (which seems to be the gold standard for plunges) in a variety of sizes, all of which were dismal failures of quad boob and tissue slopping out at the center, I'd written off plunges as just not for me. But this bra works! I have soft tissue (two pregnancies and some weight loss), wide and tall roots and am pretty full on top, and this fits me just right. My breasts don't spill out in the middle, and even after wearing it for a prolonged period, I didn't need to readjust. Reviews suggested that the band ... on this runs tight, so I sister-sized up from 34G to 36FF (helped by one of those freakishly good deals on this size/color on Amazon). It fits fine, though it's definitely looser than my normal 34s. If I get another of these I'll try the 34 for comparison, but the 36 is certainly workable and is staying in place.

Down sides: the top of the cup has a tiny bit of rolling up, which makes it visible under some clothes. This may be a function of the floral colorway, since the solids I believe have some trim along the top of the cup. And I really wish Cleo would go with three hooks rather than two.

So glad to have finally found a plunge I can wear!

I tried the 32F since it was the recommended size on bratabase. Holy mother was that off. Band was way too tight, like a torture device, it was painful. The cups were way too big for me I could've fit a whole other breast in each cup. Very cute bra though. I may buy this in the size I know fits me.

It's a well-made bra but I'm not entirely sold on the shape. Keep in mind that I'm the opposite shape this bra is recommended for but it was on such a deep discount, I couldn't resist.

I had to shorten the straps down all the way (but I'm like 5 feet tall so you may not have this problem at all). I'm normally a 34F/FF but I got this in a 36F because I read the band runs tight. I haven't washed it yet, so we'll see if it stretches out with a few wears and washes. It feels like a 34, I hope it doesn't stretch out ... too much.

I tried it on a few times and the cups, while they totally encase my breast tissue on the sides, feel like they're *only* enclosing me in from the sides due to the plunge shape. And when I put my arms down by my sides, I'm very aware of the underwires poking at my arm fat. My breasts are naturally close together, so I love the fact that the gore sits low, but at the same time I'm worried my boobs will just fall out the middle as I'm wearing it. I can deal with all of this, but the bra is also quite padded and rigid, which I'm not a fan of. The top of the cups also curve outward a little because of how rigid/padded the material is, which looks odd. I almost thought I bought a G cup by mistake.

Underneath, there's about an inch of empty, flat space that my breast tissue doesn't fill. I find the foam lining to be very comfortable but I think the underwires are too wide for me, but I'm going to wait and see how it feels when I wear it throughout the day. I'm hoping a few washes will relax the cups a little. I'll update my review then.

Update: the bra is fine for most of the day but then the underwire becomes unbearable at the end of the day - painful and itchy, like its digging into my ribcage and sliding down. Hiking it up or moving it doesn't help and I have a red indent when I take it off.

Band is wayyyy too tight in the floral neve model. The floral pattern is VERY vivid, something I could imagine a young girl choosing for her first bra: not sexy, just loud and juvenile. i bought it because it had been marked down and I was curious to see if the model was a good fit: its crazy tight in the band and gives a bizarre orb-like shape. There is very little forward push: no side support and no kissing happening for me- not the right shape plunge unfortunately...

Well heeeelllllloooo cleavage! Without quadboob! What witchcraft is this?

Despite being a little shallow at the bottom (the wires don't quite fit in my inframammary fold), this bra doesn't gape at all (unlike the deco, which is also too shallow but gapes like crazy). I've also got some sexy cleavage going on, but there is no quadboob. Furthermore, comparing side profile images of this bra to my passionata plunge and my deco delight, this bra molds best to my projection and does not flatten out my boobs. Did I also mention it's comfortable?

...If only I wore it!

Neve is a great bra. It's got a firm band, a flexible ... cup (works for both projected and shallow -I had a friend with shallow boobs try it on and she loved it, she just didn't get the cleavage that I did), good support and is smooth under a shirt. The problem is, I really really really dislike the pattern. I think its gaudy. If I had the Neve in a basic color, I'd wear the crap out of it. As is, I never wear it. Under light colored shirts you can see the pattern. Under sexy cleavage baring shirts, I feel like I'm wearing a 12 year old's bra. I'm tempted to try and dye it black just so I feel comfortable wearing it.

This is the first bra I've tried since calculating my true bra size. After reading many reviews of this bra I decided to size up in the band and that was definitely a smart decision. I measure about 27.4 inches comfortably snug and I am positive that a 28 band would be too small in this particular model. I should also mention that the cups and band of the bra are overall larger in blue than in coral, though I'm not really sure why.
The quality of the bra is ... good. After wearing it about every other day for a month, the band hasn't stretched out too much, and I am still wearing it on the loosest hook. I have however noticed that the gore has popped a stitch or two that I didn't notice after receiving the bra, but I'm not sure if that's necessarily from its quality or some strain my sternum is putting on it.
I do have to note that the appearance of this bra is excellent, by itself and under tight clothing. I get almost no gaping lying down and none at all sitting or standing up straight, making this a really good choice for those looking for a sort of no show bra. The straps are wide set with very tiny polka dots that aren't noticeable from a distance and make no difference in its ability to be concealed under clothing. The gore sits quite low, which is really great for my close set breasts, but may offer some disadvantages to those with very soft breast tissue.
The comfort level is okay. The top of the cup on my right side rubs the outer edge of my armpit slightly, leaving a mark for a while after taking the bra off. The underwire also sits a little bit under my IMF, making me think this bra a little bit too shallow for my slightly projected breasts.
I would definitely recommend this bra to those with average/close set, slightly shallow to shallow breasts looking for a good t shirt bra. I probably wouldn't recommend this bra to someone who is very projected, has soft breast tissue, or is wide set.
